Financier Ondo obtains SEC-endorsed Oasis Pro to progress tokenized financial structure, reinforcing their standing in the digital asset sector.
In the dynamic world of finance, the tokenized securities market is experiencing a significant surge in growth, driven by institutional adoption and innovative developments. This rapid expansion is set to redefine the financial landscape, intersecting traditional finance (TradFi) with the crypto sphere.
The tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA) has seen an impressive 800% increase since 2023, reaching a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $65 billion by 2025. This growth, spanning diverse asset classes and blockchain platforms, signals a strong momentum in the tokenized securities market. Major financial institutions like J.P. Morgan, Kraken, and Robinhood are heavily involved, tokenizing assets such as carbon credits and U.S. equities, enabling fractional ownership, instant settlement, and 24/7 trading.
Notable platform launches include Kraken's platform for retail investors to buy tokenized versions of major U.S. stocks, Robinhood's introduction of tokenized stocks to selected international users, and J.P. Morgan's development of tokenized carbon credit services.
However, the regulatory environment remains complex, particularly in the U.S. and Europe, where there is no clear consensus on how tokenized securities fit within existing laws. This raises concerns about investor protection, cross-jurisdictional legal issues, and systemic risks stemming from new digital asset classes. Legal cases such as the Dubai-based DMG Token underscore the legal and technical hurdles facing tokenized assets.
Despite these challenges, clearing and settlement depositories (CSDs) and organizations like DTCC are actively working to tackle regulatory hurdles and promote interoperability to support tokenized asset adoption within a compliant framework.
Innovation in infrastructure and use cases is another key driver of market growth. Some projects adopt innovative models, such as China’s AntChain with its “Two-Chains-One-Bridge” structure, facilitating cross-border financing and liquidity boosts for renewable infrastructure. Tokenized instruments like tokenized money market funds (TMMFs) are emerging as new financial infrastructures, offering enhanced utility and potential disruption of traditional finance systems.
Tokenization is increasingly extending to various asset classes beyond securities, including art, buildings, loans, and infrastructure, which further broadens market scope and investment possibilities. The tokenized securities market could potentially reach $18 trillion by 2033.
In the midst of these developments, Ondo Finance has made a significant move by acquiring Oasis Pro, an SEC-registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system for digital securities trading. Ondo Finance CEO Nathan Allman stated that the acquisition unlocks the next major chapter of tokenized finance. The acquisition aims to create more accessible tokenized finance infrastructure with strong regulatory compliance foundations.
Meanwhile, Solaxy, a Layer 2 project on Solana, has raised over $58 million in presale funding. Solaxy combines meme coin appeal with real infrastructure, offering 73% staking rewards and multichain support. Users can claim and stake $SOLX tokens via a live dashboard. The Solaxy presale is ongoing before the next price increase.
The daily RSI for ONDO shows divergence, suggesting shifting momentum. A breakout from the current range could target $1.10-$1.20 for ONDO, according to some analysts. Ondo Finance's ONDO token is testing the upper boundary of a multi-month descending wedge, hinting at a potential bullish reversal.
The tokenized securities market is indeed expanding rapidly, presenting a promising future for investors and businesses alike. As regulatory frameworks evolve and innovation continues to drive the market forward, the potential for mainstream adoption of tokenized securities becomes increasingly apparent.
Investing in tokenized Real-World Assets (RWA) has seen a staggering 800% increase since 2023, with institutional giants like J.P. Morgan, Kraken, and Robinhood exploring new opportunities by tokenizing assets such as carbon credits and equities, offering potential benefits like fractional ownership, instant settlement, and 24/7 trading.
Technological advancements, particularly in infrastructure, are playing a crucial role in the growth of the tokenized securities market. Innovative models like China’s AntChain's "Two-Chains-One-Bridge" structure are enhancing cross-border financing and liquidity for renewable infrastructure projects, while new financial instruments like tokenized money market funds (TMMFs) could potentially disrupt traditional finance systems.
