Ondo Finance Secures SEC Licenses in Oasis Pro Acquisition
Ondo Finance has completed its acquisition of Oasis Pro, an SEC-registered broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS) and transfer agent. Announced in July, the deal secures a comprehensive regulatory stack for tokenized securities and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. With these SEC licenses, Ondo Finance can launch regulated primary and secondary markets for tokenized securities and digital assets. These include tokenized Treasury bills, corporate debt, real estate assets and private equity stakes. The platform can also undertake underwriting and private placements. Oasis Pro, founded in 2019 as a FINRA member, was among the first to settle digital securities in fiat and stablecoins. Ondo Finance manages over $1.6 billion in assets. It already offers tokenized US stocks and ETFs 24/7 on Ethereum to non-US investors, plus products like OUSG treasuries and yield-bearing USDY tokens. Competitors such as Robinhood and Coinbase are exploring tokenized equities. Industry analysts forecast the tokenized asset market could reach $18 trillion by 2033. After the acquisition, ONDO token trades near $0.97, up 6.4% in 24 hours.
Bullish
The acquisition of Oasis Pro and the resulting SEC licenses significantly enhance Ondo Finance’s regulatory credibility and ability to launch compliant tokenized securities markets. This opens new primary and secondary market channels for digital assets, boosting institutional adoption. Early trading data shows ONDO token up 6.4% on the news, reflecting positive trader sentiment. In the long term, access to underwriting, private placements and RWA tokenization under clear SEC oversight positions Ondo Finance to capture a share of the projected $18 trillion tokenized asset market. Together, these factors support a bullish outlook for ONDO token price.
