Ondo Finance Launches 100+ Tokenized Stocks on BNB Chain
Ondo Finance has extended its tokenized stocks platform to BNB Chain, enabling 3.4 million daily users in Asia and Latin America to trade over 100 U.S. equities and ETFs on PancakeSwap. Since the September Ethereum launch, Ondo has tokenized $1.8 billion in real-world assets, with $350 million in TVL and $670 million in on-chain volume across 28,370 holders.
The BNB Chain integration lowers fees and boosts throughput for 24/7 DeFi trading. Each tokenized stock retains dividend rights and fractional ownership. Traders can use these tokenized stocks in DeFi strategies such as yield farming and collateralized lending to enhance liquidity and diversify portfolios.
Ondo Finance, founded in 2021, raised $20 million in Series A funding in 2022 and recently acquired U.S.-regulated broker Oasis Pro to strengthen its settlement infrastructure. The expansion democratizes access by removing traditional brokerage barriers for non-U.S. investors.
Bullish
By integrating tokenized stocks on BNB Chain, Ondo Finance taps into lower transaction costs and higher throughput, likely driving increased trading volume and liquidity for BNB-based DeFi protocols. The addition of over 100 tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs expands market access and use cases, which can attract new participants and capital into the ecosystem. The Oasis Pro acquisition further strengthens settlement infrastructure, enhancing investor confidence. In the short term, demand for BNB and PancakeSwap (CAKE) may rise as traders engage with these new assets. Long term, successful tokenized stock adoption could bolster BNB Chain’s position in real-world asset tokenization and DeFi, supporting sustained bullish momentum.
