TLDR:
- Ondo Global Markets crossed $1B TVL in under eight months, the fastest for any tokenized equity platform.
- USDY delivers 3.5% APY backed by U.S. Treasuries, with TVL between $2.15B and $2.7B across DeFi chains.
- OUSG completed a cross-border treasury pilot with JPMorgan, Ripple, and Mastercard in under five seconds.

ONDO, trading at $0.34 as of this writing, is the native token of a protocol running three separate financial products. Most token holders are only aware of one. Each product targets a different audience and solves a distinct problem in finance.
Together, they represent a full-stack infrastructure play for real-world asset tokenization. The protocol’s total value locked reached $3.778 billion across all three products as of May 14, 2026.
Ondo Global Markets Leads in Tokenized Equity Access
Ondo Global Markets offers non-U.S. investors direct on-chain access to U.S. stocks and ETFs. The platform lists over 260 tokenized securities, including Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, QQQ, and SPY. Entry starts at $100, with 24/7 trading and instant settlement. No brokerage account or T+1 delays apply.
The product crossed $1 billion in TVL in under eight months. That marks the fastest growth of any tokenized equity platform on record.
TVL doubled from $500 million to $1 billion between January and May 2026. Cumulative trading volume has reached $18 billion across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
Ondo Global Markets currently holds over 70% global market share in tokenized stocks and ETFs. Underlying U.S. securities are held by a regulated custodial broker-dealer, backed 1:1 with a capital buffer.
The growth curve has remained nearly vertical with no visible slowdown. This product drives the current tokenized equity narrative across crypto markets.
As analyst @2xnmore observed, “The growth curve is nearly vertical and it has not slowed.” The product is designed specifically for non-U.S. retail and institutional investors.
Users gain U.S. capital market exposure directly through a crypto wallet. No intermediary or traditional brokerage is required.
USDY and OUSG Capture Yield Demand and Institutional Infrastructure
USDY is a yield-bearing token backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and money market instruments. It currently offers approximately 3.5% APY, accruing daily directly into the token value. No lock-up period is required. Holders of USDC or USDT earn nothing, while USDY compounds daily.
USDY TVL sits between $2.15 billion and $2.7 billion, with minimal retail attention to date. The token is transferable across chains and composable with DeFi protocols.
It ranks among six major contributors driving the tokenized U.S. Treasury market past $12.88 billion. Yield-bearing stablecoins like USDY are positioned to replace passive alternatives in the next market cycle.
OUSG is the institutional layer of the ONDO protocol, built for accredited and qualified purchasers. It is a tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury fund with 24/7 mint and redeem functionality.
In May 2026, OUSG featured in a cross-border treasury redemption pilot with JPMorgan, Ripple, and Mastercard. That transaction settled in under five seconds across international banking rails.
The pilot also involved BlackRock’s BUIDL fund as a core partner. Over 165 ecosystem partners now include Franklin Templeton, MetaMask, Broadridge, and XRPL.
Ondo additionally launched Ondo Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for real-world asset infrastructure. The protocol now operates across equities, yield, institutional settlement, and its own native chain.
