FAQ
What types of assets will Ondo Global Markets offer?
The initial focus will be on liquid publicly traded US stocks, bonds, and ETFs. Over time, the platform aims to expand to other asset classes, including international equities, corporate bonds, and other publicly traded instruments.
Who will be eligible to use Ondo Global Markets?
Ondo Global Markets will serve a diverse range of participants outside of the US, including investors, asset managers, broker-dealers, and developers1. By lowering barriers to entry and offering both an easy to use web app and flexible APIs, the platform supports both direct users and third-party services building on Ondo GM infrastructure.
Will Ondo Global Markets support all US securities?
At launch we expect that Global Markets will offer tokenized exposure to many of the most widely traded stocks such as Apple and Tesla, and a variety of popular bonds and ETFs from leading asset managers, such as Fidelity and BlackRock. Over time, we intend to provide such exposure to all securities trading on the NYSE and NASDAQ.
Are there plans to support non-US securities?
Over time, yes.
Are there plans to support private securities?
Over time, yes.
What KYC/AML procedures will be required for the initial onboarding?
Primary purchasers of Ondo GM tokens will be required to complete customer due diligence in accordance with applicable law and to ensure, among other things, that the purchasers are non-US persons outside of the US and are not subject to applicable sanctions.
When will Ondo Global Markets go live?
We intend to launch the platform later this year.
What blockchain networks will these tokenized securities be available on?
All Ondo Global Markets tokens will be natively issued on Ondo Chain. However, due to Ondo Chain's built-in bridging capabilities and extensive connectivity to other chains, we expect Global Market's assets to be available on every chain that Ondo Chain supports.
