Gate and Ondo Launch Tokenization Zone for U.S. Stocks

Gate has launched the Ondo zone to enable 24/7 on-chain access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, broadening investment channels for global users. This involves 26 trading pairs, including assets like AAPLON and TSLAON, supported by ETH, BTC, and USDT.

Gate has officially launched the Ondo zone to support spot trading by introducing 26 popular trading pairs with Ondo Finance, allowing non-U.S. users access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on-chain.

The launch of the Ondo zone underscores the growing integration of real-world assets in the crypto space, potentially altering market accessibility and liquidity.

Gate has launched the Ondo zone to facilitate trading of tokenized U.S. stocks in partnership with Ondo Finance. This marks a significant step in asset tokenization, allowing 24/7 on-chain access for global investors.

Today marks an important milestone in global real-world asset tokenization, as we enable seamless, regulated access to U.S. equities for investors worldwide. — Nathan Allman, CEO, Ondo Finance Ondo PR Release

Led by Nathan Allman and Dr. Lin Han, Ondo Finance and Gate offer a compliant tokenization model. They provide fully collateralized trading pairs such as AAPLON and METAON, and support settlements in ETH, BTC, and USDT.

Tokenization may impact market liquidity and volatility, particularly with the scheduled unlock of 1.94B ONDO tokens in January 2025. Nathan Allman emphasized global access for investors in their official release.

Previously similar launches, like those by Kraken and eToro, have significantly boosted the DeFi sector. Historically, the sector has seen 380% growth since 2022 and a projected $341 million TVL by mid-2025.

Future regulatory and technological outcomes could include shifts in DeFi protocol usage. Ondo assets are secured by U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring regulatory compliance and jurisdictional restrictions for non-U.S. investors.

Regulatory acceptance and technological advances will shape future opportunities in the real-world asset tokenization, influencing investment policies globally. Community discussions show positive sentiment toward asset accessibility on platforms like Gate’s X and Telegram.
