Acquisition to provide Ondo Finance with the full suite of licenses and infrastructure required to offer and develop tokenized securities markets in the United States

We are excited to announce we are acquiring Oasis Pro, including its SEC-registered broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and Transfer Agent (TA). This acquisition will lay the groundwork for Ondo Finance to develop a regulated tokenized securities ecosystem for blockchain-based financial products for US investors. This milestone expands Ondo’s best-in-class tokenization products and technology with the most comprehensive digital asset licenses available in the US.

This unlocks the next major chapter of tokenized finance,” said Nathan Allman, CEO of Ondo Finance. “This acquisition will empower us to realize our vision of building a robust and accessible tokenized financial system, backed by the strongest regulatory foundations. We’re pleased to welcome Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro, to our team. Pat brings deep experience in the digital asset space, particularly around building regulatory-compliant platforms. His leadership and perspective will be a valuable asset as we continue to grow and adapt in this evolving landscape.”

Oasis Pro: Institutional-Grade Infrastructure, Proven Regulatory Track Record

Founded in 2019, Oasis Pro operates, through its subsidiaries, an SEC-registered and FINRA member broker-dealer and Alternative Trading System (ATS), and an SEC-registered Transfer Agent (TA)—providing compliant infrastructure to support issuing and trading tokenized securities in the United States.

Backed by leading investors such as Mirae Asset Ventures, Oasis Pro was one of the first US-regulated ATSs authorized to support settlement of digital securities in both fiat and stablecoins like USDC and DAI. As a FINRA member since 2020 and an SEC-registered broker-dealer, Oasis Pro has paved the way for compliant innovation in digital asset markets, acting as a contributing member of FINRA’s Crypto Working Group to shape the evolving regulatory framework for tokenized assets in the U.S.

The Tokenization Opportunity

Tokenized stocks represent digital assets backed 1:1 by publicly traded shares and settled on blockchain rails, a market that analysts predict will exceed $18 trillion by 2033. Ondo Finance plans to launch access to tokenized stocks for non-US investors in the coming months through its Global Markets platform in partnership with leading wallets, exchanges, and protocols.

With over $1.4 billion in assets under management across its existing tokenized products, Ondo already supports a global ecosystem of custodians, public chain infrastructure, and onchain liquidity protocols for tokenized real-world assets.Source

“We are proud to join forces with Ondo Finance, a true innovator in tokenized finance,” said Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro. “This acquisition combines our brokerage platform and licenses with Ondo’s existing institutional-grade infrastructure and products, a comprehensive foundation for a regulated tokenized securities ecosystem.”

Ondo Catalyst Pledges $250m to Bring Capital Markets Onchain

The new $250 million initiative will pursue Ondo ecosystem investments and strategic investments to bring capital markets onchain and accelerate the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).

We are excited to announce the launch of Ondo Catalyst, a $250 million strategic investing initiative designed to accelerate the development of onchain capital markets.

Catalyst is supported by Pantera Capital, whose deep expertise and strategic capital will support the growth of onchain capital markets. Pantera will independently evaluate and invest in projects, while Catalyst will back projects building across the Ondo ecosystem, with a focus on next-generation financial applications that drive utility, scalability, and adoption of tokenized assets.

“The financial system is undergoing a fundamental upgrade. With Ondo Catalyst, we’re fueling the transition from closed, permissioned systems to an open, onchain economy. By supporting the infrastructure and applications that unlock real-world utility for tokenized assets, we’re helping reshape how capital moves around the world.”  – Nathan Allman, Founder and CEO of Ondo Finance.

“Pantera has backed winners in every crypto cycle, and we’re proud to support Ondo in the important work they’re doing. Tokenization of traditional financial assets is the largest shift in infrastructure since electronic trading, and Ondo is at the forefront of it with the right traction and partners. This initiative will prove critical for a modern, blockchain-based financial era.” – Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner, Pantera Capital

Fueling the Future of Tokenized Finance

Ondo focuses on building the core foundations of the tokenized economy—from tokenized assets to the protocols, platforms, and infrastructure that support them. We welcome innovative approaches across the entire value chain and see especially strong opportunities for collaboration in two areas:

• Protocols & Platforms: Core financial applications, DeFi protocols, and developer platforms that integrate with or extend the utility of tokenized RWAs.
• Infrastructure: Foundational technologies enabling tokenized finance, including custody, compliance, identity, and data interoperability.

Join the Ondo Ecosystem

Ondo Catalyst is actively seeking visionary founders and teams advancing the future of capital markets. Projects working on tokenized financial products, DeFi protocols, or financial infrastructure are encouraged to apply.

A New Financial Stack Is Emerging

The next generation of capital markets will be faster, more accessible, and globally interoperable—built on open infrastructure, not legacy rails. Ondo Catalyst is helping shape that future by supporting the builders reimagining how value is stored, exchanged, and scaled across borders.
