Ondo is gaining significant institutional traction after being selected to 
participate in a key working group led by DTCC. This move places Ondo in 
direct collaboration with established financial institutions and 
infrastructure leaders, working to define how traditional assets can be 
brought on-chain at scale. What Ondo’s DTCC Role Means For The Broader Crypto 
Market In a recent post on X, Ondo Finance has revealed that the firm has been 
selected to join an industry working group led by Depository Trust and 
Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a major initiative aimed at advancing 
tokenization across the United States capital markets. DTCC currently 
custodies over $114 trillion in assets and has processed an estimated $3.7 
quadrillion in transactions annually. Related Reading: Ondo Finance Brings 
Tokenized Stocks, ETFs To BNB Chain With New Expansion The initiative focuses 
on building a tokenization service designed to bring the core of the US 
capital market infrastructure on-chain, with Ondo among the selected group of 
firms contributing to its design. With this initiative, Ondo is positioned to 
work alongside major financial institutions such as BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, 
J.P. Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citadel 
Securities, NYSE Group, Circle, Fireblocks, Robinhood, and more. Furthermore, 
the DTCC President and CEO, Frank La Salla, emphasized the significance of 
this transition, noting that tokenization has the potential to transform how 
markets operate, unlocking new levels of liquidity, transparency, and 
efficiency for investors. With over 50 years of experience, the DTCC has been 
at the center of US capital markets. Its decision to build a tokenization 
service and to bring Ondo to the table alongside the world&#8217;s leading financial 
institutions reflects how far tokenization has come. As the largest tokenizer 
of stocks, ETFs, and US Treasuries, Ondo is well-positioned to help shape the 
next phase of financial innovation, one that aims to keep US markets 
competitive in an increasingly digital and global economy. Institutional 
Adoption Accelerates Beyond Experimentation In another major move, Franklin 
Templeton, a $1.7 trillion asset manager, has made a decisive move into 
blockchain by choosing Ondo Finance as its gateway to the next generation of 
investors. An analyst known as 2xnmore on X highlighted that instead of 
building its own infrastructure or relying on traditional financial 
intermediaries, the firm has opted to leverage Ondo&#8217;s existing on-chain rails.

Tokenized Assets via Ondo Finance Through the Ondo global markets, five ETFs 
are now live and tradeable 24/7 directly from crypto wallets. This removes 
many of the traditional barriers associated with investing, such as brokerage 
accounts, geographic limitations outside the US, and reliance on 
intermediaries, offering a more open approach. Ondo currently controls an 
estimated 70% of the tokenized equity market, while targeting the much larger 
$30 trillion global ETF market. Also, this massive gap between Ondo&#8217;s current 
footprint and its potential addressable market underscores the scale of the 
opportunity ahead. Meanwhile, the broader message is clear. Wall Street is no 
longer approaching crypto as an experiment. Instead, institutions are 
approaching blockchain as a more efficient infrastructure layer, and Ondo 
built the rails first. Featured image from YouTube, chart from Tradingview.com
