Ondo Finance, an innovative DeFi platform that focuses on connecting Traditional finance with blockchain markets by tokenizing institutional-grade RWAs such as U.S. Treasury bonds and several others, today announced a strategic partnership with Bitget, a centralized crypto exchange that allows users to buy, sell, and trade digital assets. As disclosed today on X social media, this collaboration enabled Ondo to launch its tokenized version of U.S. stocks, ETFs, and community-linked products on Bitget, an integration that makes such RWAs (real-world assets) accessible to millions of global customers on the global cryptocurrency exchange.
Ondo Bridging Tokenized Assets With Crypto Trading
The integration of these digital securities on Bitget aims to expand the accessibility of Ondo’s real-world assets, showcasing Ondo’s commitment to driving the adoption of tokenized securities globally. Last month, Ondo brought its tokenized US stocks and ETFs to Binance, highlighting its ongoing commitment to expanding the adoption of tokenized assets.
Beginning this week, Bitget’s crypto exchange will list multiple Ondo’s tokenized products, including TSLAon, NVDon, IVVon, SPYon, QQQon, IAUon, SLVon, and many more, allowing its huge customer base worldwide to gain economic exposure to these highly sought-after American assets through a regulated framework. By listing such tokenized offerings, Bitget is widening the accessibility of global investing, developing more financial flexibility, liquidity, and inclusivity than before.
Bitget is a crypto exchange known for offering a wide variety of cryptocurrencies for trading and low fees, supported by strong security features. Established in 2018 and based in Seychelles, Bitget has experienced rapid growth, currently serving millions of global customers in multiple countries and regions, offering copy, futures, and spot trading on its platform.
Driven by innovation, the exchange constantly pushes to revolutionize how digital assets fulfill mainstream investors’ needs. The listing of Ondo’s tokenized assets on Bitget is a natural continuation of the exchange’s mission. This integration is crucial as it expands the usage and adoption of RWAs. It means customers can trade Ondo’s tokenized assets using crypto balances on Bitget, convert profit into stablecoins, lending, staking, etc. By integrating Bitget’s massive customer base spanning over 150 countries, Ondo’s tokenized RWAs trading is anticipated to maintain robust demand.
Tokenization: A Driver To Global Financial Inclusion
The partnership between Ondo and Bitget represents a strategic combination of Traditional financial assets with blockchain infrastructure, introducing regulated digital securities into the flexibility of crypto asset trading. Access to US yield-bearing assets such as tokenized US equities, ETFs, treasuries, and commodities has historically been limited due to regulatory, geographical, and financial infrastructural obstacles. Although large institutions in certain jurisdictions have always enjoyed full access, millions of retail investors worldwide have experienced significant barriers.
Ondo’s collaboration with Bitget is part of wider efforts to dismantle such limitations. The partnership means users from Nigeria, Brazil, Pakistan, and several other countries can now access and trade US tokenized assets instantly, just like the way they trade Bitcoin on Bitget.
