Oasis Pro Markets, a broker-dealer subsidiary of Ondo Finance, has secured authorization from both the SEC and FINRA to offer tokenized equities and funds directly to U.S. investors—a regulatory green light for real-world assets on blockchain rails.
The authorization allows Oasis Pro Markets to operate a regulated alternative trading system for digital securities, enabling issuance and secondary trading of tokenized shares in companies, private funds and other traditional investment vehicles. That unlocks fractional ownership and improves liquidity for assets historically locked in opaque, slow-settlement systems.
Ondo Finance has built its thesis on bringing institutional-grade assets into decentralized finance. Its OUSG product—a tokenized version of BlackRock's Short-Term Treasury Bond ETF—already holds over $200 million in total value locked. The approval expands Ondo's strategy to cover a broader range of private equity, venture capital and public market instruments.
The SEC and FINRA's explicit authorization cuts compliance uncertainty, the primary barrier keeping large asset managers off blockchain infrastructure. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has consistently backed technological innovation within existing regulatory frameworks, and this approval reflects that posture.
The tokenized-asset market is projected to reach trillions of dollars by 2030, with Oasis Pro Markets now holding regulated infrastructure to compete for that share. Franklin Templeton has already launched its own regulated tokenized funds, confirming sustained institutional demand. Investors holding positions in Ondo (ONDO) have direct exposure to this expanding regulated RWA ecosystem.
