Ondo cracks open 24/7 stock trading — on-chain

Ondo Finance just pulled the trigger on something Wall Street’s been dragging its feet on for years.

They opened 24/7 trading on tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs through their new Ondo Global Markets platform. Think Apple. Think Tesla. Think over 100 names — all tokenized on Ethereum and backed by assets sitting with U.S.-registered brokers.

The kicker? While issuance and redemption still run on weekday hours, wallet-to-wallet trading never sleeps. Investors in Asia, LatAm, Europe, and Africa can now bypass time zones and trade around the clock.

Ondo isn’t stopping here. They’re lining up support for Solana and BNB Chain later this year, plus rolling out borrowing tools — letting users post tokenized stocks against USDT (and vice versa).

For now, it’s invite-only. KYC/AML clearance is required before stepping inside. But the signal is clear: Ondo is carving a path where traditional finance and on-chain liquidity finally collide.
