Ondo Finance Expands U.S. Presence with Acquisition of Oasis Pro

Ondo Finance, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that focuses on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), has strengthened its U.S. operations by acquiring Oasis Pro. This purchase has given the company the licenses and infrastructure needed to grow its tokenized securities business.

Ondo Finance Completes Strategic Acquisition

After much effort, Ondo Finance recently shared it has finalized the purchase of Oasis Pro, a licensed broker-dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This move is an important step in Ondo’s plan to grow its tokenized securities business for investors around the world. 

In a recent statement, Ondo’s founder and CEO, Nathan Allman, said the acquisition gives the company the needed approvals and systems to expand its operations in the U.S. He said this shows Ondo’s goal of blending blockchain technology with regulated financial markets. 

The company now manages more than $1.6 billion in assets, showing steady growth and strong trust from investors.

Oasis Pro Brings Key Licenses and Expertise

Oasis Pro, founded in 2019, operates as an SEC-registered broker-dealer and Transfer Agent. It was also among the first platforms in the U.S. to receive approval to list digital securities. It can also settle them using fiat currencies or stablecoins like Circle’s USDC and Sky’s DAI.

By acquiring Oasis Pro, Ondo now has access to the platform’s  Alternative Trading System (ATS) and key licenses that let it offer fully regulated tokenized equity trading in the U.S. This gives Ondo the ability to serve American investors while also growing its presence around the world.

This new acquisition comes a few weeks after Ondo launched 24/7 on-chain access to over 100 U.S. stocks and exchange traded funds (ETFs) via Ethereum. The service, initially powered by the Ethereum network, is available to investors across Asia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. 

Alongside its tokenized Treasurys (OUSG) and yield-bearing USDY tokens, this move demonstrates Ondo’s effort to make regulated digital securities accessible worldwide.

Ondo Joins Top Platforms in Fast-Growing $18T Tokenized Equity Market

Ondo now joins a growing group of platforms, including Robinhood, Kraken, Coinbase, and Gemini, in offering tokenized equities and stock. A joint report from Ripple and Boston Consulting Group projects that the tokenized asset market could surpass $18 trillion by 2033.

This outlook is more positive than an earlier BCG report created with Aptos Labs and Invesco. That report estimated that real-world asset tokenization could grow to over $600 billion in assets under management by 2030. 

Furthermore, Nasdaq has asked the SEC to approve a new rule. The proposal says that tokenized shares should have the same rights and benefits as the original stocks so they can trade together. With its new licenses and systems, Ondo is well-prepared to adapt to these rules and take the lead in the growing tokenized market.
