The Vision Behind the Alliance

For decades, access to U.S. capital markets has been restricted by geographical and regulatory barriers, leaving millions of investors worldwide on the sidelines. Ondo Finance’s CEO, Nathan Allman, emphasized that the Global Markets Alliance is designed to address these inefficiencies by standardizing technical and compliance frameworks for tokenized securities. The goal is simple yet ambitious: to make stocks, ETFs, and other public securities available to anyone with a smartphone, regardless of their location.

Alliance Members

The alliance brings together a diverse group of leaders from across the crypto sectors, each contributing unique expertise:

1. Solana Foundation: Providing high-speed, scalable blockchain infrastructure.

2. Bitget Wallet, Trust Wallet, Rainbow Wallet: Integrating Ondo’s tokenized asset standards to enable secure, self-custodial access to real-world assets (RWAs).

3. Jupiter and 1inch: Delivering programmatic trading and liquidity routing for tokenized assets, ensuring deep liquidity and seamless trading experiences.

4. BitGo and Fireblocks: Offering institutional-grade custody and off-exchange settlement solutions, critical for secure and compliant asset management.

What Will the Alliance Achieve?

The Global Markets Alliance is a blueprint for the future of finance. The coalition will focus on:

1. Standardizing Tokenization: Creating shared technical and compliance standards to ensure interoperability across platforms.

2. Expanding Access: Enabling wallets and applications to offer direct, onchain exposure to U.S. public securities for users outside the U.S..

3. Boosting Liquidity: Aggregators like Jupiter and 1inch will provide access to deep liquidity pools, making it easier for investors to buy and sell tokenized assets.

4. Enhancing Security: Institutional-grade custody and settlement infrastructure from BitGo and Fireblocks will reduce counterparty risk and ensure regulatory compliance.

Alliance Leaders Speak Out

The announcement has sparked excitement across the industry, with alliance members highlighting the transformative potential of tokenized assets:

1. Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet: “Tokenized securities are more than a new asset class—they’re the foundation for the next era of global finance. This alliance moves us closer to a future where anyone with a smartphone can access real-world opportunities directly and securely.”

2. Jamie Elkaleh, CMO of Bitget Wallet: “By supporting Ondo’s tokenized asset standards, Bitget Wallet is committed to secure, self-custodial access to RWAs.”

3. Kash Dhanda, CEO of Jupiter: “We’re at the beginning of the tokenization renaissance. Our goal is simple: make these assets accessible to every person with an internet connection.”

4. Michael Shaulov, CEO of Fireblocks: “Tokenized securities bring transparency, efficiency, and programmability to traditional markets.”

Ondo Global Markets

The alliance’s formation comes ahead of the launch of Ondo Global Markets, a platform that will allow non U.S. users to gain direct onchain exposure to U.S. public securities via integrated applications and wallets. This marks a major step toward unifying blockchain-native tools with traditional finance, laying the groundwork for a more open, programmable global financial system.

With the Global Markets Alliance, Ondo Finance and its partners are setting the stage for tokenized securities to move from isolated experiments to an integrated part of global financial infrastructure.
