Tokenized ETFs surpass $500M in market cap, led by Ondo Finance
Stocks
The tokenized ETF market has officially surpassed the $500 million market capitalization milestone, driven largely by the rapid expansion of Ondo Finance. Ondo currently commands approximately 66.4% of this sector, having grown its offering from 100 assets at its September 2025 launch to over 440 tokenized US stocks and ETFs by mid-2026. The platform operates across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, recording over $9 billion in cumulative trading volume. A significant catalyst for recent growth was the IVVon tokenized ETF, which saw a 150% increase in May 2026, helping push the total market cap past the half-billion-dollar mark. To enhance liquidity, Ondo introduced 24/7 mint and redeem capabilities in June 2026, allowing users to bypass traditional New York trading hours. While the firm filed an SEC registration statement in February 2026 to align with regulatory frameworks, the sector remains vulnerable to potential shifts in distribution rules. This concentration of market share highlights both the rapid adoption of on-chain traditional assets and the systemic risks associated with a single dominant provider.
