- Ondo gets FMA approval to expand into European markets.
- Tokenized US stocks and ETFs will be available in 30 countries.
- This marks a major step for compliant digital securities in Europe.
Ondo Global Markets, a key player in the tokenized asset space, has achieved a major milestone by securing regulatory approval from the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA). This license allows the company to offer tokenized versions of U.S. stocks and ETFs to investors across 30 European countries.
This approval marks a turning point in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology in a compliant and secure way. With FMA’s backing, Ondo becomes one of the few platforms enabling access to tokenized U.S. equities under EU law.
What the Approval Means for European Investors
Tokenized stocks allow investors to buy fractions of real-world assets like Apple or Tesla shares, using blockchain. These assets are accessible 24/7, more liquid, and often come with lower fees compared to traditional brokers.
Ondo’s new offering will include popular U.S. stocks and ETFs, all wrapped in a tokenized format but fully backed and compliant with financial regulations. This development opens the door for European investors to gain exposure to American markets through a more flexible, digital route.
A Big Step for Digital Securities Adoption
With the FMA license, Ondo is now compliant with the EU’s MiFID II regulations, which enhances investor protection and transparency. This approval could also influence other jurisdictions to follow suit in enabling secure, blockchain-based trading of real-world assets.
By providing regulated access to tokenized U.S. securities, Ondo is positioning itself as a pioneer in the fast-evolving digital securities market. This move could accelerate the adoption of tokenized finance across Europe and beyond.
