How Does Ondo’s Custody Model Keep Tokenized Stocks Anchored To Real Shares?

Ondo Finance has established a regulated framework for tokenized stocks by anchoring digital assets 1:1 to real shares held within the U.S. custody system. By utilizing its subsidiary Oasis Pro, which includes an SEC-registered broker-dealer and transfer agent, the firm ensures that underlying securities remain in regulated custody rather than synthetic pools. This model was expanded on July 2, 2026, with the tokenization of BlackRock's IVV and Micron Technology shares on Ethereum. Further integration with the DTCC Tokenization Service allows for digital twins of securities held at the Depository Trust Company, such as Circle stock and SPDR S&P 500 ETF. To ensure shareholder rights are preserved, Ondo partnered with Broadridge Financial Solutions to bridge the gap between on-chain tokens and traditional corporate governance. A critical milestone occurred on July 23, 2026, when FINRA granted Oasis Pro Markets expanded authorizations, enabling U.S. retail and institutional access to these products. As of late August 2026, the platform reached $1 billion in total value locked across 260 symbols. This development marks a significant shift toward integrating tokenized equities into established U.S. financial infrastructure.
