Ondo Finance’s Oasis Pro Markets Secures FINRA Authorizations to Offer Broad Range of Tokenized Equities and Funds to U.S. Investors
Ondo Finance has secured critical FINRA authorizations through its subsidiary, Oasis Pro Markets, to facilitate the offering and trading of tokenized corporate equities and funds within the United States. This regulatory milestone allows for the operation of compliant platforms for primary offerings and secondary market trading of NMS equities, ETFs, mutual funds, and index funds. By leveraging an SEC-registered broker-dealer and Alternative Trading System, the initiative enables institutional and retail investors to engage with tokenized assets under established federal oversight. The framework supports settlement via both fiat currencies and stablecoins, directly between blockchain-based wallets. Furthermore, the integration of omnibus account structures allows registered investment advisers and retirement accounts to access these assets through existing broker-dealer channels. This development significantly reduces onboarding friction, potentially broadening the participation of U.S. investors in the tokenized securities market. By formalizing these pathways, Ondo Finance is positioning itself to bridge traditional financial infrastructure with blockchain-based asset management.

Ironlight Raises $21M To Scale Tokenized Securities Market
Ironlight has successfully raised $21 million to scale its infrastructure for tokenized securities, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain-based settlement. Operating as an SEC-registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system, the firm utilizes a centralized order book paired with on-chain settlement to streamline post-trade processes for institutional investors. The platform supports a diverse range of asset classes, including private equity, fixed income, and real estate, positioning itself to capitalize on evolving regulatory frameworks. This funding round arrives as U.S. regulators, including the SEC and the Federal Reserve, increasingly clarify that existing securities laws are technology-neutral and open to controlled innovation. By integrating blockchain settlement, Ironlight seeks to reduce the operational complexity that currently hinders the efficiency of private market transactions. The development highlights a broader industry trend where regulated entities are building compliant rails to bring traditional financial products on-chain. As institutional interest grows, Ironlight's ability to operate under FINRA oversight provides a critical layer of trust for market participants navigating the transition to digital securities.
