The rise of tokenized stocks is proving to be an unstoppable force. Over the course of last year, the sector expanded by a massive 29x, with Ondo Global Markets securing its place as the number one platform. This leadership position is supported by impressive statistics, including a portfolio of over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks, a dominant 60% market share, and a Total Value Locked, or TVL, that surpasses the combined holdings of all other platforms.

A crucial element in unlocking this success was finding a solution to the liquidity challenge. By sourcing liquidity directly from the NYSE, Nasdaq, and other major exchanges, Ondo Global Markets allows traders to operate with near-zero slippage. This approach eliminates the significant price impacts often caused by the shallow pools found onchain. As we look ahead, the ability to use Ondo tokenized stocks as collateral within DeFi marks the beginning of a new chapter in utility and growth for tokenized stocks and ETFs.
