Financier Ondo set to purchase SEC-supervised broker-dealer Oasis Pro

In a significant move, Ondo Finance, a leading player in the tokenized stocks market, has announced the acquisition of Oasis Pro, a regulated broker-dealer platform. This strategic move marks a significant step in Ondo's strategy to expand its real-world assets footprint through tokenized stocks.

Ondo Finance, which has been at the forefront of bridging traditional finance with blockchain-based systems, launched the Global Markets Alliance in June 2025. This coalition, comprising over 20 major industry players, is focused on setting universal standards for tokenized securities, enhancing cross-platform trading, and improving access, liquidity, and compliance for U.S. stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds represented as tokens on blockchain.

Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro, will join the Ondo Finance team as part of the acquisition. The deal combines Ondo's existing institutional-grade infrastructure and products with Oasis Pro's brokerage platform and licenses, positioning Ondo for further growth in the tokenized stocks market.

The acquisition gives Ondo Finance access to the licenses and infrastructure required to bring tokenized stocks to the U.S. market. Oasis Pro, among the first U.S.-regulated Alternative Trading Systems (ATSs) to secure approval for digital securities settlement in both fiat and stablecoins, provides compliant infrastructure for the issuance and trading of tokenized securities.

Nathan Allman, CEO of Ondo Finance, stated that the acquisition will empower them to build a robust and accessible tokenized financial system, backed by strong regulatory foundations. Oasis Pro has collaborated with FINRA's Crypto Working Group, contributing to the shaping of the emerging regulatory framework for asset tokenization in the U.S.

Ondo's Global Markets Alliance unites custody providers, wallets, and exchanges to standardize technical and compliance frameworks for tokenized real-world assets, especially stocks. This enables seamless trading across platforms and enhances investor protections and interoperability. Wallet providers like Trust Wallet and Rainbow Wallet are integrating Ondo’s standards, while exchanges such as 1inch and Jupiter support programmatic access. Custodians like BitGo and Fireblocks provide institutional-grade security.

The acquisition follows recent developments, including a plan by Ondo and Pantera Capital to invest $250 million in RWA projects. The tokenization sector is projected to exceed $18 trillion by 2033, according to rwa.xyz.

Ondo’s ONDO token has shown technical strength, recently rising 1.5% and breaking key resistance at $0.765, reflecting positive market sentiment following the announcement of the alliance.

Unlike other platforms such as Kraken, Robinhood, Gemini, and Bybit—which primarily focus on crypto or limited tokenization—Ondo’s model is designed for deep integration of traditional financial instruments into blockchain. Ondo plans to further integrate traditional financial products into the blockchain ecosystem, aiming for global reach and increased adoption outside the U.S. for users seeking exposure to tokenized stocks and funds.

The alliance will continue working to harmonize standards and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions, making tokenized assets more accessible and secure for both retail and institutional investors. The roadmap emphasizes seamless cross-platform trading and self-custody options, setting the stage for broader adoption and competition with traditional and crypto-native platforms.

As of now, total real-world assets on-chain stand at $24.79 billion. Ondo Finance's tokenized portfolio exceeds $1.4 billion. The acquisition of Oasis Pro is expected to further bolster these figures and solidify Ondo's position as a leading force in the tokenized stocks market.
