Ondo and LayerZero jointly launch a cross-chain bridge for tokenized stocks and ETFs.

Ondo Finance, the leading provider of tokenized real-world assets, has announced the launch of Ondo Bridge in partnership with LayerZero.

The new bridge enables seamless cross-chain transfers of Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs. It also allows more than 2,600 LayerZero-integrated protocols, wallets, and applications to easily add Ondo’s global market assets.

Ondo Bridge is now live on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with plans to support additional EVM chains soon. As the largest bridge for tokenized securities, it supports over 100 stocks and ETFs.

This cross-chain capability delivers broader liquidity and greater flexibility for DeFi applications, while maintaining the reliability and predictability institutional investors expect from real-world assets.

Key Features:

• Fast Chain Deployment: Ondo Bridge can connect to new EVM chains in just weeks.
• Unified Asset Pathway: All Ondo global market assets can now bridge across EVM networks through LayerZero’s standardized framework.
• Scalable by Design: The architecture streamlines operations and supports hundreds of assets moving across multiple chains.

“This is the ideal time for Ondo Global Markets to scale rapidly in the multi-chain economy,” said Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance. “We’re accelerating advanced cross-chain use cases and integrating Ondo tokenized stocks as core DeFi assets.”

“Tokenized assets are quickly becoming the superior version of every traditional market asset—more transparent, programmable, and able to move with the speed and certainty of the internet,” said Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero Labs. “We’re excited to support Ondo in bringing next-generation financial assets on-chain and making them broadly available across the global crypto economy.”

Since launching on Ethereum in September, Ondo Global Markets has become the world’s largest platform for tokenized securities, with total value locked exceeding $400 million and trading volume surpassing $2 billion. The platform recently expanded to BNB Chain, giving the network’s 3.4 million daily active users access to on-chain securities.

Stargate has already integrated Ondo assets into its protocol using Ondo Bridge. The architecture will extend to new EVM networks within weeks, accelerating democratized access to the US market and enabling new cross-chain DeFi use cases.
