On Wednesday, the Ondo Finance team announced via X that it has launched the first tokenized stock representations based on DTC tokenized entitlements to DTC-held securities generated through the DTCC Tokenization Service.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is the premier post-trade market infrastructure for the U.S. securities markets, processing approximately USD 4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025.
Ondo joins DTCC’s largest tokenization initiative to date alongside BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, & NYSE.
DTC-held securities can be converted between traditional and tokenized forms, enabling greater flexibility, access to new liquidity opportunities, and additional digital asset use cases.
That additional functionality can enhance the utility of assets such as CRCLon and SPYon (Ondo Stocks) held across Ondo’s global partner network of exchanges, wallets, & DeFi platforms.
Ondo (ONDO) stands as a beacon in the realm of decentralized finance, aiming to democratize access to institutional-grade financial services. Founded in 2022 and based in the Cayman Islands, Ondo operates through a unique ecosystem that bridges traditional finance with blockchain technology.
The Ondo Foundation collaborates closely with Ondo Finance, its commercial partner, to support decentralized protocols and the tokenization of real-world assets.
The ONDO token, sold to over 18,000 individuals in mid-2022, plays a pivotal role within this ecosystem. It serves as a governance token within the Ondo Finance decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), granting holders specific rights related to Flux Finance, which is governed by the Ondo DAO. This governance structure empowers ONDO token holders to influence the direction and policies of the DAO, ensuring that the mission of democratizing finance remains at the forefront.
Flux Finance, a key component of the Ondo ecosystem, benefits from the oversight and governance provided by ONDO token holders. This decentralized approach ensures that decisions are made transparently and in the best interest of the community. The Ondo Foundation's commitment to supporting decentralized protocols and tokenized assets further solidifies its role as a transformative force in the financial landscape.
ONDO, the native coin of Ondo Finance, is up 15.44% in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $0.3695.
