Blockchain.com and Ondo Finance have expanded their partnership to make NYSE-listed equities and ETFs accessible to millions of eligible users across Europe directly via the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet. This initiative builds on their previous success in Africa and South America, where they introduced over 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs. Peter Smith, CEO of Blockchain.com, highlighted the self-custody solutions offered, emphasizing their speed, efficiency, and self-ownership advantages over traditional banks. Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, noted that this expansion will allow Ondo's tokenized assets to reach a previously unavailable segment of its global user base, supporting further adoption of tokenization in global markets. The platform, Ondo Global Markets, has seen significant growth since its September 2025 launch, with over $556 million in total value locked and $8.7 billion in trading volume. European investors in 30 EEA states can now buy, sell, and hold these tokenized assets, including precious metals ETFs like SLVon (Silver) and IAUon (Gold), directly through the Blockchain.com Wallet interface, removing the friction of traditional brokerage accounts.
