Ondo Global Markets has expanded its platform to the BNB Chain, bringing over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to the blockchain network. This integration provides BNB Chain's 3.4 million daily active users with access to a wide range of tokenized assets, including major stocks like Apple.
Through PancakeSwap, BNB Chain's leading decentralized exchange, users can now trade tokenized versions of popular equities and ETFs directly onchain. This offers instant settlement, transparent custody, and eliminates the need for traditional intermediaries.
The move aims to reshape how investors interact with traditional markets, providing 24/7 access to blockchain-based versions of U.S. financial products. Ondo structured the service mainly for non-U.S. investors who often face restrictions when attempting to trade directly on U.S. exchanges due to regulatory constraints and regional limitations. By utilizing blockchain infrastructure, Ondo bypasses these restrictions, making trading seamless for global investors.
Since launching in September, Ondo Global Markets has become a significant player in the tokenized securities space, surpassing $350 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) and driving over $669 million in total onchain trading volume.
Nathan Allman, Founder and CEO of Ondo Finance, stated that expanding to BNB Chain allows them to bring tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to users across Asia, Latin America, and beyond in a fast, cost-efficient, and highly interoperable environment. He added that this is a major step toward making U.S. markets globally accessible through blockchain technology.
Sarah Song, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, noted that Real World Assets (RWAs) are one of the fastest-growing segments on BNB Chain, and partnering with Ondo marks a key step in bringing high-quality financial products onchain for millions of users.
PancakeSwap is offering zero trading fees on all of Ondo Finance's tokenized assets for the first 30 days, from October 29, 2025, to November 29, 2025. This promotion applies to trades routed through PancakeSwapX on BNB Chain.
Ondo now competes with other platforms offering similar services on BNB Chain, including tokenized trading services by Backed and Kraken's xStocks. BNB Chain's large user base across Latin America and Asia plays a key role in Ondo's strategy, enhancing accessibility for underserved markets.
Ondo Finance, backed by Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, boasts $1.78 billion in TVL. In 2025, the company acquired US broker-dealer Oasis Pro and blockchain developer Strangelove, and launched its own Layer 1 platform, Ondo Chain, in February.
