We’re honored that Ondo was featured in the White House report by the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets, which recognizes tokenized securities, stablecoins, and programmable settlement as building blocks of the future financial system. This recognition reflects a growing consensus: tokenization isn’t just an innovation, it’s the future operating system for traditional assets in a global, digital economy. 📄 https://lnkd.in/gyJJW_Ym At Ondo, this moment reinforces what we've been building toward for years: a more open, efficient, and globally accessible financial system powered by tokenized real-world assets. We’re proud to have pioneered key infrastructure in this space, from launching the first tokenized Treasuries widely available to global investors, to building the first onchain financial protocol designed to support permissioned tokenized securities alongside stablecoins. Now, with Ondo Chain, we’re creating a dedicated home for tokenized real-world assets, making it easier for traditional issuers to launch compliant onchain products, and enabling seamless integration between the worlds of traditional and onchain finance. The report highlights tokenized funds and stablecoins as core infrastructure for modern markets. It emphasizes composability, auditability, and compliance as essential requirements, principles that have shaped Ondo’s architecture from day one. And it signals growing urgency for the United States to lead, not follow in the global transition to tokenized finance. Ondo’s role in this next chapter: 1. Unlocking access: Making US assets globally available via fully-backed, compliance-first tokenized products. 2. Powering 24/7 markets: Enabling deliver-versus-payment settlement across a range of financial products, from treasuries to equities. 3. Bridging TradFi and DeFi: Connecting institutional-grade assets to programmable, interoperable blockchain infrastructure. We're grateful for the leadership behind this initiative including President Donald Trump, David Sacks, Scott Bessent, Bo Hines, and the President's Working Group for recognizing the potential of tokenization to strengthen America's financial leadership. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited to help shape the global financial system that comes next.
