Blockchain.com and Ondo Finance announced an expansion of their partnership to offer real-world assets (RWAs) onchain to the European market. Eligible users across Europe can now gain direct access to regulated, tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs seamlessly within the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet.
Last year, through its DeFi wallet, Blockchain.com and Ondo Global Markets introduced over 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs to users in Africa and South America, offering onchain exposure to some of the most recognizable companies.
"By bringing U.S. equities onchain for our European users, we are providing self-custody solutions through our DeFi wallet that are faster, more efficient and completely self-owned that remain unmatched by traditional banks," said Peter Smith, CEO, Founder and Executive Chairman at Blockchain.com. "Building on our momentum in Africa and South America through this partnership with Ondo, we are making a more inclusive and secure financial system a reality for millions across Europe and beyond."
Since its launch in September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has seen explosive growth, reflecting the surging demand for institutional-grade assets on the blockchain. With a total value locked (TVL) surpassing $556 million and trading volume exceeding $8.7 billion, the platform is a dominant force in the Real World Asset (RWA) sector.
"Extending availability to users across the EEA through the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet allows Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs to reach a previously unavailable segment of the platform's global user base," said Ian De Bode, President at Ondo Finance. "We look forward to seeing how this expansion supports adoption as we continue to drive tokenization across global markets."
