Ondo Finance announced on July 4, 2025, its agreement to acquire Oasis Pro, a U.S.-regulated brokerage platform that includes an SEC-registered broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and transfer agent. This strategic acquisition, pending regulatory approval, aims to expand Ondo's offerings in tokenized securities and bring U.S. equities onchain. Ondo Finance, which already manages $1.4 billion in tokenized assets, is positioning itself alongside major players like Robinhood and Kraken in the race to develop a regulated ecosystem for tokenized stocks in the United States. The acquisition will grant Ondo key U.S. securities licenses necessary for operating within the regulated market, marking a significant step in its mission to integrate traditional financial markets with blockchain technology.

Ondo Finance said it has agreed to acquire Oasis Pro, a U.S. brokerage platform that holds Securities and Exchange Commission registrations for broker-dealer, alternative trading system and transfer-agent services. The deal, announced 4 July, is subject to regulatory approval; financial terms were not disclosed.

The purchase would give the New York-based blockchain firm the licenses it needs to offer tokenized U.S. equities directly to investors, broadening a product line that already includes about $1.4 billion of tokenized assets. Ondo said integrating Oasis Pro’s regulatory infrastructure will let it list, trade and settle traditional securities on-chain while remaining fully compliant with U.S. securities rules.

The move underscores growing competition among fintech and crypto platforms such as Robinhood and Kraken to migrate conventional stocks to blockchain rails, betting that faster settlement and programmability will attract both retail and institutional investors.

Ondo Finance has deployed its flagship tokenized U.S. Treasuries fund, Ondo Short-Term US Government Treasuries (OUSG), on the XRP Ledger, widening distribution of the dollar-denominated product beyond its existing channels.

The integration allows institutional and other qualified investors to mint and redeem OUSG using Ripple’s newly introduced RLUSD stablecoin, streamlining settlement and expanding on-chain access to short-term government debt instruments.

Ondo said the move is part of a broader strategy to bring real-world assets to blockchain infrastructure, tapping the XRP Ledger’s liquidity and transaction throughput to meet growing demand for regulated, yield-bearing digital securities.

The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) such as equities, bonds, real estate, art, and commodities is gaining momentum in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. Institutions are increasingly deploying infrastructure to bring these assets onchain, enabling fractional ownership and 24/7 trading. The total value locked (TVL) in RWAs has surpassed $11 billion, with a $500 million increase since late March 2025. Industry leaders including Ripple, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Archax, and Ondo Finance have discussed the impact of RWA tokenization on traditional markets.

Layer-1 blockchains like Avalanche and Aptos are playing key roles, with Aptos experiencing 700% TVL growth in 2024 and integrating major RWA projects alongside stablecoin cross-chain capabilities. Platforms such as Injective offer tokenization modules that transform real-world assets into composable digital assets, unlocking liquidity for traditionally illiquid markets. Collaborations between infrastructure providers like Defactor and the global RWA hub rwa_io aim to provide comprehensive toolkits covering KYC, compliance, and data validation to support institutional adoption. The RWA market is projected to unlock a $30 trillion opportunity by 2030, marking a shift from speculative DeFi farming to real-world financial utility.

The launch of the Plume mainnet has successfully tokenized $4 billion in assets on its first day, marking a significant milestone for real-world asset (RWA) finance. The platform's initial trading price is set at $0.19. Institutions are already engaging with the ecosystem through Ondo vaults, indicating strong institutional interest. Meanwhile, WhiteRock has achieved a major milestone by becoming the first licensed and regulated RWA protocol, with a market capitalization of approximately $200 million, significantly lower than $ONDO, which is valued at 20 times higher. This development has sparked discussions about the potential of RWAs to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), with expectations that 2025 will see RWAs gain prominence on-chain. Various projects are now building tokenized assets, including stablecoins, stocks, and bonds, particularly on platforms like Arbitrum, which are expected to facilitate the growth of this sector.
