Ondo delivers. Anyone globally with a wallet can now buy tokenized SpaceX onchain. Permissionless capital markets are here. Live on all supporter partners and chains.
SpaceX just landed onchain. The largest IPO in history, tokenized on day one. SPCXon is live on Ondo Global Markets across @solana, @ethereum, and @BNBCHAIN. For the first time, a trillion-dollar IPO is onchain on the same day it goes public.

John is a seasoned industry professional who was instrumental in driving the adoption of ETFs. I could not be more excited to have him join Ondo to invent the next generation of financial products, powered by Ondo Technology. Trillions.
Ondo has appointed John Hoffman as Managing Director, Head of Product Portfolios, to develop Ondo’s onchain asset portfolios business. Hoffman has been at the forefront of the ETF and digital asset industries, helping shape some of the market's most significant product launches and distribution platforms. Hoffman joins from Grayscale Investments, where he served as Managing Director, Head of Distribution and Partnerships. Before Grayscale, he spent nearly two decades at Invesco, most recently as Head of the Americas, ETFs and Index Strategies. Ondo has spent years building the tokenization infrastructure for onchain capital markets. Hoffman's appointment marks the next chapter: launching and distributing tokenized portfolio products built on that foundation, from custom tokenized baskets built in partnership with the leading names in asset management to Ondo-native innovations.

The reception we got on the pre-alpha has been overwhelming. Mark your calendars. Real equity perps with stock collateral and tradfi liquidity are coming and will redefine the category.
Perps changed how the world trades. Now they're coming for equities. The bell rings on June 9, 2026.

This was a tough one to write. But I am relieved to get it out. Honoring Nate's legacy means making his vision a reality: making financial services accessible to everyone. The roadmap and purpose is clear, and the team has never been more motivated to win. Onwards.

Thank you to everyone who shared their condolences, thoughts, and memories of Nate over the past 24 hours. The outpouring of people coming forward makes it clear how loved he was, and how deeply he impacted the lives of so many. He was a trailblazer for tokenization and inspired many to follow his lead. He was the architect of much of the infrastructure powering RWAs today. His legacy lives on onchain. Thank you to all of you who continue to put your confidence in our platform and team. We will not forget the trust you place in us.

It's been an incredibly sad day for Ondo Finance. Nate was not only an incredible founder and visionary, but also a very close personal friend. He will be missed dearly. The mission of Ondo, Nate's mission, has not changed. If Nate were here, he would want to continue executing with excellence. We will make him proud.
It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones. Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated. Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team. We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

There is a lot of debate about the right way, and the wrong way, to tokenize securities. That framing is a false dilemma. The SEC has already recognized several different tokenization models operating in the market today, and that diversity is a feature, not a problem. That diversity of options is a strength of the U.S. financial system. Versions of each of these models—"native," "wrapped," and entitlement-based structures—are already present in U.S. markets today, and hold the promise of finding substantial investor interest if allowed to develop further onchain. At Ondo, we are uniquely positioned to support every major model of securities tokenization, and we have already demonstrated that when done right, tokenization enhances investor protections and accessibility, rather than eroding them.

Last week, user 0xCA...d5a opened a $1M $NOW position onchain via Felix spot equities User 0xCA...d5a was able to open up their $1M position on ServiceNow ($NOW) in less than 10 minutes for only 0.08% more than what is would cost through their offchain brokerage account Benefits of this: they did not have to go through the tedious process of offramping and transferring funds into their brokerage account. Instead, they were able to quickly open up their $1M position on Felix without incurring FX costs, prolonged settlement times, or restrictions on withdrawal amounts Trade $NOW and 264 other spot equities: usefelix.xyz/trade/spot-equi…
What are the key benefits of the Felix spot equities RFQ architecture? One is driving costs down for users who want to buy stocks onchain. As an example, today, user 0x0Db…33E6 bought $100,000 of spot Nvidia (NVDA) and $100,000 of spot Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) fully onchain via Felix. Right now, each of those trades would have a net execution cost of 10.6 bps and 11.1bps respectively: no more 200bps added slippage when buying spot equities onchain.

The adoption of tokenized stocks and ETFs is accelerating and happening faster than any other asset class to date. It took USDT almost 2.5 years to hit $1B; USDC did it in about 2 years, Blackrock did it in 14 months for BUIDL. Ondo GM did it in less than 8 months. Higher.
$1,000,000,000 in tokenized stock TVL. In less than 8 months, Ondo Global Markets became the first tokenized stock & ETF platform to reach $1 billion in TVL, one of the fastest climbs in the history of onchain finance. Ondo Global Markets has established itself as the standard for tokenized stocks and ETFs: → Over 70% market share → Tens of thousands of holders → Over $18B in cumulative volume → Live across @solana, @BNBCHAIN & @ethereum Since launch, the platform has scaled to 260 tokenized stocks & ETFs, expanding access to the world's most in-demand sectors across AI, biotech, defense, energy, and more. The pace of tokenization is accelerating with every new asset class. What took stablecoins and tokenized Treasuries years, Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs achieved in under a year, faster than any asset class before them. This milestone reflects a generational shift in how global investors access capital markets, one that is more transparent, more accessible, and more efficient than the legacy system. One billion down. Trillions to go.
