Ondo Finance has expanded its tokenized securities push to Solana with the launch of Ondo Global Markets, adding more than 200 U.S. stocks and ETFs to the network. The move brings traditional public market exposure to Solana’s fast-growing user base, which the company pegged at roughly 3.2 million daily users. Hence, the rollout positions Solana as a bigger venue for real-world asset trading, as tokenization becomes a key race across crypto. Over 200 tokenized stocks arrive on Solana Ondo Global Markets lets users buy, sell, and trade tokenized versions of U.S. equities and exchange-traded funds directly onchain. Additionally, the platform will include access to blue-chip names, commodity-linked ETFs tied to gold and silver, and sector products linked to trends like AI. According to the press release , Ondo said it designed the product to mirror public market pricing while using crypto rails for execution. Consequently, the company aims to attract investors who want stock-style exposure without leaving blockchain-based trading environments. The announcement also described the launch as a major step for Solana’s tokenized asset catalog. Until recently, Solana carried 319 tokenized assets, and Ondo’s arrival adds scale by asset count. Liquidity model targets “brokerage prices” Ondo’s strategy centers on deeper liquidity connections instead of small onchain pools. Moreover, the company said its tokenized stocks can tap liquidity from major U.S. exchanges, including NASDAQ and NYSE. Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, framed the expansion as a milestone for traders who want bigger order capacity. He said, “For the first time, Solana users can rest assured that they can buy tokenized stocks in size at brokerage prices, giving them peace of mind when trading onchain.” De Bode also pointed to the breadth of the launch lineup. He added, “Ondo Global Markets’ liquidity model enables it to launch with hundreds of assets live on day one, with thousands more to come.” New front in the tokenized securities race The Solana Foundation also tied the launch to broader financial use cases on the network. Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation, said Solana supports high-performance financial applications at global scale. Ondo has already expanded beyond Ethereum, adding BNB Chain near the end of 2025. However, competition continues to rise, with platforms like XStocks also targeting tokenized equity trading on Solana. Ondo Global Markets reported more than $460 million in total value locked and over $6.8 billion in cumulative trading volume. Significantly, those figures suggest demand continues to grow as crypto platforms chase regulated-style market access.
