Ondo Finance Secures FINRA Licenses for Asset Tokenization in U.S.

Key Facts

In a move reflecting the accelerating integration of traditional assets with blockchain technology, Ondo Finance has successfully secured authorizations from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). These licenses allow the firm to tokenize NMS stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and indices, as well as IPO securities for investors in the United States. This regulatory milestone aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets through a regulated framework for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

These developments come at a time of growing market interest in tokenized assets, with reports indicating that Ondo's products exceeded $2.5 billion in total value locked in early 2026. According to market data, the company previously introduced tokenized versions of Micron shares and BlackRock’s iShares ETFs, solidifying its position in this emerging sector. This authorization follows Ondo's acquisition of Oasis Pro Markets, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member since 2020.

Technically, indicators have shown bullish momentum with the Aroon Up reading reaching 92.86%, despite recent price resistance.
