- Ondo Finance introduces 100+ tokenized U.S. assets on BSC.
- Tokenized equities surged 8,500%, unlocking BSC’s RWA potential.
- BSC now bridges traditional finance and DeFi at scale.
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) may be stepping into a new era. With Ondo Global Markets going live on the network, over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs are now accessible to BSC’s 3.4 million daily users. This move signals a potential shift, bringing traditional financial markets directly into the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.
Unlocking BSC’s Real-World Asset Potential
The partnership between Ondo Finance and BSC is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic gateway. By tokenizing assets like the “Magnificent Seven” stocks and major ETFs, investors can now gain on-chain exposure without relying on traditional brokers.
Despite BSC hosting 108 tokenized assets totaling $760 million in TVL, equities remain underrepresented. Before Ondo’s integration, tokenized public equities made up only $118k—or 0.016%—of BSC’s real-world asset (RWA) market. The addition of Ondo has driven an astounding 8,500% surge in this category, hinting at the chain’s untapped potential.
Bridging Traditional Markets and DeFi
While Ethereum still leads with $320 million in tokenized public equities, BSC’s partnership with Ondo positions it to compete more aggressively in the RWA sector. Ondo’s $350 million TVL and $669 million in total on-chain volume bring liquidity and scale unmatched by other BSC platforms.

Sarah Song, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, highlighted the significance: “Real-world assets are one of the fastest-growing areas on BNB Chain, and having Ondo Finance join the ecosystem further proves that momentum.” She emphasized that the collaboration is driving a new wave of adoption that bridges traditional markets with blockchain technology.
BSC’s journey toward becoming a decentralized version of Wall Street is still underway, but Ondo’s integration marks a pivotal milestone. With 100+ tokenized U.S. assets live, the chain now offers both accessibility and liquidity, setting the stage for a future where traditional finance and DeFi coexist seamlessly.
