Ondo Finance

Ondo Finance is a pioneering DeFi (Decentralized Finance) platform with a focus on integrating traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance. The organization believes in a future where these two worlds merge, with public blockchain technology as the underlying foundation. Ondo Finance is establishing itself as a leader in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), which is a significant step in bridging the gap between on-chain and off-chain financial systems. With its innovative approach, Ondo Finance has already managed to capture a notable market share in tokenized securities, illustrating the success and potential of its vision​​.

Ondo Finance has made significant strides in the tokenization of real-world assets, offering products like USDY, an interest-bearing stablecoin, and OUSG Fund, which provides exposure to short-term US Treasuries. The platform also supports Flux Finance, a decentralized lending protocol for tokenized securities. These products demonstrate Ondo Finance's commitment to providing institutional-grade financial products on public blockchains, catering to both individual and institutional investors. The integration of traditional financial assets onto blockchain platforms is a core part of Ondo Finance's strategy to democratize access to institutional-grade finance, making it more accessible to a global audience​​.

In 2024, Ondo Finance made significant strides in expanding its ecosystem and solidifying its position as a leader in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). In collaboration with BlackRock and Securitize, Ondo became the first provider of tokenized US Treasuries to surpass $600 million in Total Value Locked (TVL). This milestone highlights Ondo’s growing influence in bringing institutional-grade financial products onto public blockchains.

Furthermore, Ondo's yield-bearing token USDY was integrated into the Cosmos ecosystem via Noble, allowing it to be accessible across more than 90 chains. This expansion has also included its launch on Aptos, where USDY is used in various DeFi applications, such as enhancing liquidity pools and acting as collateral in lending markets.
