Ondo Finance has joined forces with BNB Chain to offer access to more than 100 US-tokenized financial instruments, including mutual funds, ETFs, and top stocks.
The move opens doors for a new era where any crypto user can gain exposure to traditional monetary products on-chain.
According to Ondo Finance founder and CEO Nathan Allman:
Expanding Ondo’s tokenized stocks and ETFs to BNB Chain will mark a major milestone in our mission of bringing financial markets onchain. BNB Chain’s vibrant ecosystem and global reach make it a natural fit as we continue building the infrastructure for institutional-grade onchain capital markets.
BNB Chain is on. @BNBCHAIN, one of the most widely used blockchain networks, will soon support Ondo’s suite of tokenized assets, including over 100 US stocks, ETFs, and funds to start. As part of this collaboration, BNB Chain joins the Global Markets Alliance, a growing group
With this initiative, BNB Chain officially joins the Global Markets Alliance, which comprises top exchanges, wallets, infrastructure providers, and custodians bringing traditional assets on-chain.
These developments have sparked interest in Ondo’s native token, which has failed to reclaim the $1 mark since early March declines.
Merging TradFi and blockchain
Cryptocurrency and traditional finance have operated differently over the years.
Digital assets operated as speculative, experimental, and fast-moving assets, whereas TradFi remained highly regulated and restricted to investors with access to banks or brokers.
Meanwhile, Ondo Finance emerged to change the narrative. It has made strategic moves in the real-world asset tokenization sector.
For instance, MasterCard integrated Ondo Finance as its first RWA provider in February.
Also, Ripple tapped the blockchain to introduce tokenized US treasuries on the XRPL.
The new collaboration with BNB Chain will allow users to interact with the digital representations of recognized US ETFs and stocks.
These are digital assets backed by real-world assets, offering seamless access for investors looking to diversify beyond cryptocurrencies while within the blockchain world.
BNB Chain commented on the latest partnership, stating:
With Ondo’s suite of tokenized real-world assets, you’ll enjoy simpler access to US equities without ever leaving BNB Chain.
That means users need a smartphone and a cryptocurrency wallet to invest in tokenized shares of leading companies like Tesla and Apple, or exchange-traded funds on the Binance ecosystem.
ONDO price outlook
The native coin changed hands at $0.9220 with a brief 24-hour gain.
ONDO appears poised for imminent rallies, targeting the coveted $1.
Popular analyst Ali Martinez expects continued gains to $1.60, translating to an over 40% surge from the current price.
According to Ali,
ONDO has broken out of a descending triangle, confirmed by a daily close above $0.87. This move projects a potential target of $1.60.
$ONDO has broken out of a descending triangle, confirmed by a daily close above $0.87. This move projects a potential target of $1.60!
The chart shows that ONDO has breached a descending triangle setup to the upside.
Potential resistances are at $1.01, $1.18, and $1.35.
Overcoming these obstacles might propel prices to the $1.60 – $1.80 range.
However, buyers should keep ONDO above the triangle’s top trendline and reclaim $1 to support short-term rallies.
Also, broad market sentiments might influence ONDO’s price trajectory in the coming sessions.
