Ondo brings cross-chain transfers for over 100 tokenized securities

Ondo, one of the leading platforms for tokenization, introduced its first bridge. The cross-chain feature can move over 100 tokenized securities. 

Ondo Finance introduced its Ondo Bridge, now live between Ethereum and BNB Chain. The bridge is expected to support over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs. The bridge is bringing a native blockchain infrastructure to the mainstream, using Layer Zero technology, Canary Protocol, and Stargate Finance. 

The cross-chain transfers will have 1:1 parity for stocks and ETFs.

According to Ondo, Ethereum and BNB Chain apps can now use the assets in additional operations and investment opportunities. The tokenized assets can be added to more EVM-compatible chains at scale, with full cross-chain capabilities. 

“The stage is set for the rapid expansion of Ondo Global Markets across the multi-chain economy. Launching this Ondo Bridge with LayerZero empowers users to seamlessly transfer 100+ tokenized stocks and ETFs between Ethereum and BNB Chain, with many more chains coming soon,” said Ondo Finance President Ian De Bode.

As a result, Ondo may become the go-to standard for tokenization for the Ethereum ecosystem, just like XStocks has established leadership in the Solana ecosystem. Tokenized stocks are still the fastest-growing sector, and there is still competition to set the standard for on-chain finance. 

Ondo stocks can spread to over 2,600 apps

Layer Zero, the bridge creator, has been integrated into over 2,600 apps, which can now support Ondo assets. The Ondo Bridge will be the largest cross-chain bridge for tokenized securities, greatly expanding the RWA tokenization capabilities. 

The securities can also be used in wallets and protocols compatible with Layer Zero. The assets are part of the Ondo Global Markets platform on Ethereum, one of the leading hubs for tokenized shares. The bridge connects the two chains, which already have a history of cross-chain transfers and shifts in available liquidity. 

Ondo Global Markets already achieved over $154M in daily trading volumes, carrying hundreds of tokenized stocks. The most popular assets are tied to US public companies. 

The arrival of Ondo Global Markets coincides with growing global interest in investments, aiming to tap the gains for leading US corporations. 

Since September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has posted $350M in total value locked, with over $2B in cumulative trading volume. The platform also independently launched on BNB Chain, opening up access to the chain’s 3.4M daily active users. 

Ondo Bridge can be deployed to other chains in weeks

Previously, Ondo assets required a special smart contract to move each individual asset. Now, all tokenized shares and ETFs can move across chains. The bridge can also expand rapidly to other compatible networks, as Ondo gave a timeframe of a few weeks. 

The goal is to support hundreds of assets moving across the most active EVM-compatible chains. Tokenized shares are bringing mainstream investment as a seamless option in apps, with regulated versions of public company stock. 

Tokenized assets are replacing tokens and altcoins with no intrinsic value, while offering the transparent, fast, and programmable infrastructure of blockchains. Layer Zero aims to turn tokenized stocks into widely adopted assets, similar to stablecoins.
