Ondo Global Markets expanded rapidly after its September 2025 launch and crossed $1 billion in total value locked within eight months. The platform now lists over 260 U.S. stocks and ETFs across Solana, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. Ondo Finance President Ian De Bode now projects tokenized equities could reach $3 billion by the end of 2026.

Rapid Growth Drives Tokenized Stocks Toward $3B

Ondo Global Markets became the largest tokenized equity platform within 48 hours of launch. It reached $240 million in total value locked within two weeks. It then crossed $500 million by January 2026 and doubled that figure by May.

The platform now records weekly growth between 3% and 5%. It has processed more than $18 billion in cumulative trading volume, according to RWA.xyz. It also holds over 70% market share among tokenized equity issuers.

De Bode outlined his outlook during an interview with TheStreet Roundtable. He said, “At the end of 2026, at the current run rate with some of the stuff we’re shipping — I would call it two and a half, three billion.” He added that this estimate reflects current expansion trends and upcoming product releases.

The broader tokenized asset market has grown 47% year to date. In comparison, the S&P 500 has gained 5%, while the NASDAQ rose 7%. The Dow Jones increased 3%, and U.S. bonds posted a 0.3% rise.

Ondo offers tokenized stocks that track total return, including dividends. Each token remains fully backed by underlying securities held within a U.S.-registered broker-dealer. The platform enables trading 24 hours a day, five days a week.

Infrastructure and Regulation Support Expansion of Tokenized Stocks

Ondo has expanded partnerships to strengthen infrastructure and compliance. In May 2026, it completed a cross-border redemption of tokenized U.S. Treasuries with J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, and Ripple. The transaction settled in under five seconds.

Franklin Templeton has tokenized five ETFs through Ondo’s platform. Broadridge partnered with Ondo in April to enable on-chain proxy voting. Token holders of more than 250 stocks and ETFs can now vote directly from their wallets.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation added Ondo to its tokenized securities consortium. BlackRock and Goldman Sachs also participate in the consortium. Production trades are scheduled to begin in July 2026.

Ondo has secured regulatory approval to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs across 30 EU and EEA countries. This approval opens access to over 500 million potential investors. The company has also acquired a U.S. broker-dealer to manage compliance directly.

Ondo confidentially filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing would position it as the first issuer of transferable tokenized stocks under full SEC reporting rules. De Bode said, “The tokenized stock I can freely move it around,” while outlining future functionality tied to margin and collateral use.
