Ondo integrates with Talos to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs to institutional clients across 30+ countries.
-
Gate provides liquidity, enabling institutions to trade blockchain-based equities without direct Ondo onboarding.

Platform supports multi-chain tokenized assets with over $13B volume and growing institutional demand globally.
Ondo Global Markets has expanded access to tokenized stocks and ETFs through Talos, enabling institutional clients to trade these assets globally, the firms said recently. The integration, delivered via Gate, allows eligible users outside the United States to access blockchain-based equities using existing trading systems. The move aims to simplify institutional entry into tokenized securities.
Integration Expands Institutional Access
The rollout connects Ondo Global Markets with Talos, a platform used by banks, brokers, and asset managers across more than 30 countries. Through this setup, institutions can access tokenized equities without direct onboarding to Ondo.
Initially, clients rely on Gate’s liquidity to execute trades. Gate has reported peak daily trading volumes exceeding $20 billion in traditional finance-linked activity. This structure enables immediate participation while reducing integration complexity.
According to Katie Wheeler, Managing Director of Global Partnerships at Ondo Finance, the integration removes key operational barriers. She said institutions can now trade tokenized equities similarly to other financial instruments.
Tokenized Assets and Infrastructure Design
Ondo Global Markets offers on-chain exposure to publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs across multiple blockchains. These include Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. Each token remains fully backed by its corresponding underlying asset.
Additionally, the platform supports institutional-grade pricing and liquidity. Trading hours align with traditional markets, operating on a 24/5 schedule. Since its launch in September 2025, the platform has processed over $13 billion in trading volume.
Furthermore, total value locked has surpassed $700 million, exceeding other tokenized stock platforms combined. This scale reflects growing institutional demand for blockchain-based exposure to traditional assets.
Future Expansion and System Integration
The partnership will expand through a planned direct API connection between Ondo and Talos. This next phase aims to streamline workflows across trading, portfolio management, and risk systems.
Drew Forman, Head of Strategy at Talos, said the platform focuses on providing a unified interface for digital asset trading. He noted that tokenized equities remain in high demand among institutional users.
As a result, the integration allows exchanges and fintech platforms connected to Talos to add tokenized assets efficiently. This approach leverages existing infrastructure while expanding product offerings.
