The launch of Ondo Finance on Solana represents one of the most significant milestones in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) in 2026. On January 21, 2026, Ondo Finance officially announced the expansion of its Ondo Global Markets platform to the Solana blockchain, bringing over 200 tokenized US stocks and ETFs to the ecosystem for the first time.
This integration is not just a technical milestone: it marks a direct bridge between Wall Street liquidity and the more than 3.2 million daily active users that Solana serves. Until now, products like OUSG (tokenized on short-term US Treasury bonds) and USDY (the yield-bearing stablecoin backed by Treasuries and bank deposits) were already available on Solana, but the launch of Global Markets dramatically expands the offering by including technology stocks, sector ETFs (AI, electric vehicles, commodities like gold and silver), leveraged ETFs, and traditional blue-chip stocks.
The most striking feature of Ondo's model is its focus on real liquidity: instead of relying solely on small on-chain pools, trades leverage the depth of traditional exchanges like NASDAQ and NYSE. This enables large-scale executions (millions of dollars) with near-zero slippage, similar to traditional institutional trading. Integrations with aggregators like Jupiter facilitate the discovery and seamless execution of these orders, combining Solana's speed (low costs and high throughput) with real brokerage pricing.
Ian De Bode, president of Ondo Finance, highlighted: “We are bringing hundreds of on-chain equities with Wall Street liquidity to the vibrant Solana ecosystem.” For his part, Nick Ducoff from the Solana Foundation emphasized that RWAs are a key component of the network's future as an engine for internet capital markets.
The launch positions Ondo as the largest issuer of tokenized assets on Solana by number of assets, surpassing previous catalogs and competing directly with other protocols like xStocks. With thousands of assets planned for the future, this move accelerates the vision of “Wall Street 2.0”: 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement, fractional trading, and global access (primarily non-US, with compliance via Solana Token Extensions).
At a time when RWA tokenization exceeds billions in global TVL, Ondo's arrival at Solana not only enriches the ecosystem with regulated institutional products, but also drives mass adoption by uniting the best of TradFi and DeFi in one of the fastest and most used blockchains on the market.
