@Ondo has introduced Ondo Private Client, a tiered loyalty program for its largest users on the Ondo Stocks platform. Membership requires holding at least $1M in eligible assets or generating $1M in spot trading volume over a rolling 30-day period, and is subject to verification, applicable terms, and jurisdictional restrictions. Ondo Stocks is not available to US persons. There is no application process and no fee to join.
The program runs across three tiers: Platinum, Diamond, and Obsidian, each offering progressively greater access to services. Benefits can include a dedicated relationship manager, early access to new features, and invitations to select events, though availability varies by tier, jurisdiction, and capacity. The top-tier Obsidian level is reserved for users with more than $25M in assets held or more than $50M traded.
@Ondo describes Ondo Stocks as the leading platform for tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. The platform currently holds more than $1.17 billion in total value locked and lists 450+ assets. Eligible investors outside the U.S. can gain exposure to hundreds of U.S. publicly traded securities, including stocks and ETFs, as well as certain ETFs based on commodities.
On the infrastructure side, Ondo Stocks has expanded its primary market options. The platform now supports in-kind conversion between underlying shares and tokenized stocks and ETFs for approved institutions, a route launched in partnership with Alpaca, sitting alongside its existing cash-funded flow. The conversions are currently available on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
Separately, Ondo's broker-dealer Oasis Pro joined DTCC's Fund/SERV network, a move designed to streamline fund distribution for the platform.
On the regulatory front, the SEC approved a temporary, conditional exemption on September 17, 2026, known as the Innovation Exemption, to allow limited trading of tokenized stocks on Tokenized Securities Venues (TSVs). The exemption creates a temporary framework that allows certain tokenized NMS securities listed on U.S. national securities exchanges to trade onchain through automated market makers on TSVs. However, the relief applies to tokenized stocks that carry full shareholder rights. Ondo Stocks, per Ondo's own disclosures, provide economic exposure only and do not give holders rights to the underlying shares, meaning the platform as currently structured would not qualify under the exemption.
