• Ondo gains EU approval to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs across 30 markets.
• The authorization follows the FMA’s acceptance of its base prospectus.
• The move strengthens regulated, investor-focused adoption of tokenized finance.

Ondo has secured approval to distribute its tokenized stocks and ETFs throughout the European Union and the European Economic Area. This authorization significantly broadens the company’s reach, giving more than 500 million potential investors access to its on-chain financial products. The approval also lifts previous regional barriers and places the network in a stronger position within the fast-growing tokenized-asset ecosystem.

The Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA) reviewed and accepted the firm’s Base Prospectus for issuing tokenized stocks and ETFs. This regulator holds passporting rights across the EU and the EEA. Its approval allows the network to extend services seamlessly across 30 markets.

The decision gives the company a clear regulatory path and strengthens investor confidence because the authorization aligns with regional standards for investor protection.

EU Enables Ondo to Offer Regulated Tokenized Stocks

With the approval, the network will provide services to retail clients, in addition to institutional clients. Retail participants in these markets will now have access to tokenized forms of traditional stocks and ETFs. This is a major transition, given the fact that tokenized securities have, in most instances, only existed on designated platforms or with particular groups of clients.

By operating on an EU-wide scale, the network is able to rely on common rules and disclosure. This aids in minimizing any inconveniences while managing tokenized finance products, with improved disclosure. 

It also ensures that any capital market participants are met with common levels of safety, irrespective of their presence in the designated region. By such coordination, the network is able to initiate on-chain assets with no reduction in pre-established security, reporting, or integrity levels.

Strengthening Ondo’s Position in Tokenized Finance

Ondo Global Markets has already established itself in the tokenized asset market to a considerable extent. Ondo Global Markets manages more than $315 million in total value locked. It has also registered over $1 billion in trading volume since its inception.

This new endorsement further solidifies its leadership position in this particular market. It also puts more pressure on other traditional platforms to hasten their on-chain initiatives. The network’s model demonstrates how traditional assets will be able to shift to tokenized versions in such a way that stays inside the regulated boundary. This model may guide future entrants and shape how tokenized finance develops in Europe.

By achieving this milestone, the network hopes to establish more stringent guidelines for scalable tokenization on regulated markets. Ondo’s improved market access, consumer-centric permissions, and EU regulation compliance represent an evolving pattern for mainstream markets to function on-chain.
