Ondo Global Markets Brings U.S. Securities Onchain

Ondo Finance has unveiled Ondo Global Markets, a new tokenization platform that enables onchain access to U.S. stocks, bonds, and ETFs. The platform seeks to replicate stablecoins’ success by offering digital representations of traditional financial assets.
