Ondo Finance's tokenized stocks are expanding their reach on Solana through a new integration with cross-chain infrastructure provider LI.FI, which is introducing native, intent-based execution for Ondo Global Markets assets. The move positions Solana's growing DeFi ecosystem, currently carrying a total value locked of roughly $5.85 billion, as a key distribution frontier for regulated, onchain equity exposure.
LI.FI announced that Ondo Global Markets assets are available through its network across Ethereum and BNB Chain, with Solana listed as coming soon. The integration connects Ondo's tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs to LI.FI's distribution layer, which spans more than 1,000 partner wallets, applications, fintechs, and neobanks.

According to Ondo's announcement, the integration made 438+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs accessible through LI.FI's partner network at launch.
Ondo assets available through LI.FI 438+ Tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, according to Ondo.LI.FI had processed more than $80 billion across 100 million transfers at the time of the announcement, underscoring the scale of the distribution rails now connected to Ondo's tokenized securities. This is a notable development for Southeast Asian users who already rely on LI.FI-integrated wallets and DeFi applications as a primary access point for cross-chain assets.
LI.FI partner network 1,000+ Partner wallets, apps, fintechs, and other integrated services cited by Ondo.Ondo had already taken its first step onto Solana in January 2026, when its initial Solana expansion brought 200+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to the chain. The LI.FI integration builds on that foundation by layering in a dedicated execution and distribution mechanism, rather than simply expanding asset availability.
For users in Southeast Asia, Solana's low transaction fees and fast settlement times have made it a preferred chain for retail DeFi activity across markets in the Philippines, Vietnam, and Thailand. Adding regulated equity exposure to that same infrastructure is a meaningful bridge between traditional securities and the region's existing onchain user base. This mirrors interest elsewhere in the region, such as Singapore's 1exchange exploring an Ondo Stocks listing.
In an intent-based model, a user expresses a desired outcome, such as acquiring a specific tokenized stock, without specifying the exact steps required to complete the transaction. The infrastructure, in this case LI.FI's solver and market-maker network, handles routing and price discovery on the user's behalf.
LI.FI describes its approach as one in which market makers quote competitive prices for supported assets, with the protocol selecting the best available execution path. This is presented as a way to reduce the friction users currently face when bridging assets across chains or navigating fragmented liquidity pools, a particular pain point in Southeast Asian DeFi markets where users frequently operate across multiple chains simultaneously.
The use of "native" in the announcement suggests the execution layer is built directly into Solana's environment rather than routed through a bridge or wrapped-token mechanism. However, no fetched first-party documentation has confirmed that native Solana execution is currently live; LI.FI's published announcement categorizes Solana as coming soon. Readers should treat the Solana-native component as an announced roadmap item, not a confirmed live feature, until an updated official announcement is published.
The distinction matters for platforms like those in Thailand and Indonesia that are evaluating tokenized equity products, as regulatory classification can shift depending on whether an asset is held natively on a chain or accessed through a bridged representation. The broader context of tokenized stocks gaining traction on BNB Chain, where tokenized stocks have already hit $4.3 billion in DEX volume, illustrates how quickly this market can scale once infrastructure is in place.
LI.FI's announcement notes that eligible users can access Ondo assets through partner wallets, applications, and protocols, but does not detail jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction eligibility terms. No new regulatory filing was identified in connection with the Solana rollout. Users in Southeast Asia should confirm access eligibility with their specific wallet provider or exchange before assuming availability.
This is particularly relevant given the varied regulatory postures across ASEAN, where regulators in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia treat tokenized securities differently. Ondo's ongoing infrastructure partnerships, including its alliance with Clearstream and 360X targeting institutional tokenization, suggest the protocol is building toward broader compliance coverage, but retail access timelines remain unconfirmed.
The 438+ figure reflects the asset count at the time of the initial LI.FI integration announcement; no updated count has been confirmed for the Solana-specific rollout. Fees, settlement mechanics, supported wallet providers on Solana, and rollout timing for native Solana execution have not been detailed in any fetched primary source.
Institutional infrastructure developments, such as BlackRock's tokenized money market funds on Solana and Ethereum, indicate that Solana is increasingly viewed as a serious settlement layer for regulated financial products. If LI.FI confirms live Solana-native execution for Ondo assets, it would add a meaningful on-ramp for Southeast Asian users already active on the chain, pending their local eligibility and applicable securities regulations.
