Ondo Global Markets has secured regulatory authorization from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA) to offer tokenized stocks and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to investors across the European Union (EU) and the broader European Economic Area (EEA).
- This approval uses the EEA's passporting regime, allowing Ondo to serve investors in 30 European countries, including all EU member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
- The clearance makes regulated onchain exposure to U.S. markets available to over 500 million potential investors in the region.
- This milestone enables Ondo to offer tokenized assets to retail investors under a unified European framework that adheres to established investor-protection standards.
- Ondo views this as a crucial step toward its vision of combining traditional financial assets with blockchain technology infrastructure under regulatory oversight.
Ondo Global Markets currently claims to run the largest platform for tokenized stocks and ETFs, reporting over $315 million in total value locked and more than $1 billion in volume since its launch.
