Ondo Global Markets Expands Tokenized U.S. Equities to BNB Chain

Ondo Global Markets has extended its reach by bringing a suite of tokenized U.S. equities to the BNB Chain, a move aimed at capturing the growing global demand for on-chain stock trading. This strategic deployment is expected to make over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, including major corporations such as Apple and Tesla, accessible to BNB Chain’s 3.4 million daily active users, according to CoinMarketCap.

Integration with PancakeSwap

A key aspect of Ondo Global Markets’ expansion strategy involves its integration with PancakeSwap, a popular decentralized exchange on BNB Chain. This integration is anticipated to enhance liquidity for the newly tokenized equities, thereby facilitating smoother trading experiences for users. The move aligns with Ondo’s broader regulated multi-chain strategy, which is seeing significant traction as the total value locked (TVL) approaches $1.8 billion.

Regulatory and Strategic Implications

The launch on BNB Chain is part of Ondo’s strategic efforts to expand its global footprint in the regulated tokenized asset market. By leveraging the vast user base of BNB Chain, Ondo aims to provide accessible and secure trading opportunities to a larger audience, enhancing the overall adoption of real-world assets (RWA) on blockchain platforms.

In an official announcement on October 29, Ondo Finance confirmed the platform’s live status on BNB Chain, marking a significant milestone in Ondo’s mission to democratize access to financial markets through blockchain technology. This move is expected to not only boost Ondo’s visibility but also drive increased engagement and adoption of tokenized equities among retail and institutional investors alike.
