Ondo, one of the leading tokenization platforms, has introduced its first bridge. Cross-chain functionality allows you to move over 100 tokenized securities.
Ondo Finance has introduced Ondo Bridge, which is currently installed between the Ethereum and BNB chains. The bridge will support over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs. This bridge uses layer zero technology, Canary Protocol, and Stargate Finance to bring native blockchain infrastructure to the mainstream.
Cross-chain transfers have 1:1 equivalence between stocks and ETFs.
According to Ondo, Ethereum and BNB Chain apps can now use their assets in additional operations and investment opportunities. Tokenized assets can be added to more EVM-compatible chains at scale with full cross-chain functionality.
“We are ready to rapidly scale Ondo Global Markets across the multi-chain economy. By launching this Ondo Bridge with LayerZero, users will be able to seamlessly transfer over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs between Ethereum and BNB chains, with more coming soon,” said Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance.
As a result, Ondo could become the go-to standard for tokenization in the Ethereum ecosystem, just as XStocks has established leadership in the Solana ecosystem. Tokenized equities remain the fastest growing sector and there is still a race to set the standard for on-chain finance.
Ondo stock could span over 2,600 apps
Bridge creator Layer Zero is integrated into over 2,600 apps and now supports Ondo assets. Ondo Bridge will become the largest cross-chain bridge for tokenized securities, significantly expanding RWA's tokenization capabilities.
This security can also be used in layer zero compatible wallets and protocols. These assets are part of the Ondo Global Markets platform on Ethereum, one of the leading hubs for tokenized stocks. This bridge connects two chains that already have a history of cross-chain transfers and changes in available liquidity.
Ondo Global Markets has already achieved $154 million Hundreds of tokenized stocks are held in daily trading volume. The most popular assets are related to US listed companies.
The arrival of Ondo Global Markets coincides with a growing global interest in investments aimed at leveraging the interests of large US companies.
Since September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has recorded a total lock of $350 million and cumulative trading volume of over $2 billion. The platform was also independently launched on BNB Chain, giving access to the chain's 3.4 million daily active users.
Ondo Bridge can be deployed to other chains within weeks
Previously, moving Ondo assets individually required a special smart contract. All tokenized stocks and ETFs can now be moved between chains. This bridge can be rapidly expanded to other compatible networks, as Ondo demonstrated in a matter of weeks.
The goal is to support hundreds of assets moving between most active EVM-compatible chains. Tokenized stocks are bringing mainstream investing as a seamless option in apps, using regulated versions of public company stocks.
Tokenized assets replace tokens and altcoins with no intrinsic value, while providing the transparent, fast, and programmable infrastructure of blockchain. Layer Zero aims to turn tokenized stocks into widely adopted assets similar to stablecoins.
