Ondo and LayerZero jointly launch cross-chain bridge for tokenized stocks and ETFs

Ondo Finance, a leader in tokenized real-world assets, today jointly announced with LayerZero the launch of Ondo Bridge.

This bridging solution enables seamless cross-chain transfers of Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs, while allowing over 2,600 protocols, wallets, and applications integrated with LayerZero to easily add Ondo Global Markets assets.

Ondo Bridge has launched on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with plans to support additional EVM chains in the future. It is the largest tokenized securities bridge, supporting over 100 stocks and ETFs.

Cross-chain capabilities provide DeFi applications with broader liquidity and more flexible usage, while maintaining the reliability and predictability expected of institutional-grade real-world assets.

Main Features:

• Rapid Deployment of New Chains: Ondo Bridge can connect to other EVM chains within weeks.

• Single Pathway for All Assets: All Ondo Global Markets assets can now be bridged across EVM networks through LayerZero’s standardized framework.

• Built for Scale: The architecture simplifies operations and is designed to support the movement of hundreds of assets across multiple chains.

“Now is the best time for Ondo Global Markets to rapidly expand in the multi-chain economy,” said Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance. “We are accelerating the creation of advanced cross-chain use cases and embedding Ondo tokenized stocks into foundational DeFi assets.”

“Tokenized assets are quickly becoming better versions of all existing assets in traditional markets: more transparent, more programmable, and able to move at the speed and certainty of the internet,” said Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero Labs. “We are excited to support Ondo in bringing next-generation financial assets on-chain and making them widely available in the global crypto economy.”

Since its launch on Ethereum in September, Ondo Global Markets has become the world’s largest tokenized securities platform, with a total value locked exceeding $400 million and trading volume surpassing $2 billion. The platform recently expanded to BNB Chain, providing access to on-chain securities for the network’s 3.4 million daily active users.

Stargate has already integrated Ondo assets into its protocol through Ondo Bridge. The architecture will expand to new EVM networks within weeks, accelerating democratized access to the US market while enabling new cross-chain DeFi use cases.
