Ondo Finance, a leader in tokenized real-world assets, and Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, today unveiled a strategic partnership designed to cement Chainlink as the official data standard for Ondo’s tokenized stocks and ETFs and to promote Chainlink’s CCIP as the preferred cross-chain solution for traditional financial institutions. As part of the agreement, Chainlink has joined the Ondo Global Market Alliance to support broader adoption of tokenized equities onchain.
The collaboration aims first to secure the foundation of tokenized stocks by marrying Ondo’s growing onchain marketplace with Chainlink’s institutional-grade data infrastructure. Ondo Global Markets, which already lists more than 100 tokenized assets and holds over $300 million in total value locked, will use Chainlink’s custom price feeds to provide resilient, market-ready valuations across all supported blockchains. Those feeds, the companies say, will capture economic and corporate action events, including dividends, so that valuations are comprehensive and usable directly onchain.
Bringing Financial Institutions Onchain
Beyond pricing, the partnership is explicitly focused on bringing financial institutions into onchain capital markets. Ondo has built one of the largest institutional ecosystems for real-world asset tokenization, with assets live on ten blockchains and integrations into more than 100 applications. Under the new arrangement, Ondo and Chainlink will jointly engage leading institutions to move assets and operations onchain using Ondo’s tokenization infrastructure, while promoting CCIP as the go-to cross-chain route for enterprise-grade interoperability. Ondo will also join Chainlink’s corporate actions initiative, a program that already includes 24 major financial organizations such as Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear.
Leaders from both organizations framed the deal as a pivotal moment in the evolution of capital markets. “With the recent launch of Ondo Global Markets, we’re witnessing the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance in real time,” said Nathan Allman, CEO and Founder of Ondo Finance. “By adopting Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for our tokenized stocks, we’re making our tokenized assets seamlessly composable across DeFi and institutional rails.”
Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink, described the move as part of a broader shift. “The tokenization of real-world assets is a fundamental shift in how global markets operate,” Nazarov said. “Ondo’s deployment of tokenized stocks using Chainlink showcases what institutional-grade tokenized stocks look like in production. By securing its tokenized stocks with Chainlink, Ondo is redefining how traditional financial instruments can operate onchain in a programmable, composable, and globally accessible way. This is how we build the next generation of capital markets.”
The partnership can accelerate enterprise adoption and unlock new use cases that require both dependable market data and secure cross-chain mechanics. Ondo’s existing scale, hundreds of assets live and a six-figure TVL, combined with Chainlink’s ubiquitous presence in DeFi and growing engagement with legacy financial firms, positions the two firms to offer an integrated stack for institutions that want to issue, price, move, and settle tokenized securities onchain.
Ondo is a blockchain technology company focused on accelerating the transition to an open economy by building platforms, assets, and infrastructure that bring financial markets onchain. Chainlink is presented as the industry-standard oracle platform powering much of decentralized finance and providing the data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy layers necessary for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. The partnership signals both firms’ ambitions to bridge traditional capital markets and decentralized infrastructure, and to make institutional participation in onchain markets easier and more reliable.
