NEW YORK, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ondo Finance, a leader in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, have announced a new strategic partnership, establishing Chainlink as the data standard for Ondo tokenized stocks & ETFs and collaborating to make CCIP the preferred solution for traditional financial institutions' cross-chain initiatives. In addition, Chainlink has officially joined the Ondo Global Market Alliance, supporting the growing adoption of tokenized stocks onchain.

Securing the Foundation of Tokenized Stocks
Ondo Global Markets is the largest platform bringing tokenized stocks & ETFs onchain at scale, with over 100 tokenized assets already live and more than $300 million in total value locked (TVL). By leveraging Chainlink's institutional-grade data infrastructure, Ondo tokenized stocks & ETFs will be priced with best-in-class, reliable data inputs across all supported blockchains. To ensure resilient market data, Chainlink provides custom price feeds for each tokenized equity. These Chainlink data feeds capture all economic and corporate action events, such as dividends, delivering comprehensive valuations directly onchain.

Connecting Financial Institutions Onchain
Ondo has one of the largest institutional ecosystems for real-world asset tokenization spanning leading global financial institutions and top DeFi protocols, with assets live across 10 blockchains and integrated into more than 100 applications. Now, Ondo and Chainlink will jointly work with leading institutions to move their assets and operations onchain using Ondo's tokenization infrastructure & assets, with Ondo and Chainlink partnering to make CCIP the preferred solution for traditional financial institutions' cross-chain initiatives. Ondo is also joining Chainlink's corporate actions initiative with 24 of the world's largest financial organizations, including Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear. 

Bringing Capital Markets Onchain
The adoption of Chainlink enables Ondo Global Markets to serve institutions, asset managers, traditional financial intermediaries, and protocol developers eager to participate in onchain capital markets. This partnership between Ondo and Chainlink marks a major milestone in the evolution of onchain finance, unlocking entirely new use cases and accelerating enterprise adoption.

"With the recent launch of Ondo Global Markets, we're witnessing the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance in real time," said Nathan Allman, CEO & Founder of Ondo Finance. "By adopting Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for our tokenized stocks we're making our tokenized assets seamlessly composable across DeFi and institutional rails."

"The tokenization of real-world assets is a fundamental shift in how global markets operate," said Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink. "Ondo's deployment of tokenized stocks using Chainlink showcases what institutional-grade tokenized stocks look like in production. By securing its tokenized stocks with Chainlink, Ondo is redefining how traditional financial instruments can operate onchain in a programmable, composable, and globally accessible way. This is how we build the next generation of capital markets."
