Retail Access to U.S. Markets via Blockchain Ondo Finance has partnered with @KUBChain's KUB Wallet to extend retail access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs across Thailand, the latest move
Ondo Finance has partnered with @KUBChain's KUB Wallet to extend retail access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs across Thailand, the latest move in a broader push to connect traditional capital markets with on-chain investors in Southeast Asia.
Through the deal, KUB Wallet holders will be able to hold on-chain representations of some of the world's most liquid equities through custodial wallets, removing the need for international brokerage accounts or complex cross-border settlement processes. For non-U.S. investors, this creates a pathway to U.S. equity exposure without the typical barriers of international brokerage accounts, currency conversion, or settlement delays.
KUBChain, originally known as Bitkub Chain, emerged as Thailand's first blockchain infrastructure in 2021.In March 2025, it underwent a major rebranding, officially transitioning to KUB Chain to improve its international presence.KUB Wallet is a crypto wallet on the Bitkub chain, aimed at providing user-friendly access to Bitkub Chain for securely keeping cryptocurrency and digital assets.
The Thailand deal is consistent with Ondo Finance's wider strategy of partnering with wallet providers and exchanges to distribute its tokenized asset products. Ondo's tokenization platform supports on-chain exposure to publicly traded securities, with eligible investors outside the U.S. able to gain exposure to hundreds of U.S. publicly traded stocks and ETFs.Tokenized stocks and ETFs are fully backed and collateralized by the corresponding stock or ETF, and cash in transit.
Similar integrations have been announced with other wallet and exchange platforms in recent months. KuCoin Web3 integrated Ondo Global Markets, described as the largest tokenized stocks platform globally, to expand its asset coverage to include tokenized real-world assets. The KUBChain partnership follows the same model, using Ondo's infrastructure as a bridge between conventional financial markets and retail crypto users.
As of late February 2026, the distributed value of tokenized assets across public blockchains reached approximately $25.71 billion, reflecting sustained momentum in the real-world asset sector. The Ondo and KUBChain tie-up positions both parties to capture a share of that growth in one of Southeast Asia's more blockchain-active markets.
