Ondo Finance Acquires Oasis Pro for Tokenized Stocks Push

Key Points:

• Ondo Finance secures broker-dealer, ATS, and transfer agent licenses with Oasis Pro acquisition.
• Oasis Pro enables Ondo to settle digital securities in both fiat and stablecoins like USDC.
• $250M Ondo Catalyst initiative with Pantera Capital targets real-world asset tokenization projects globally.

Ondo Finance has announced plans to acquire Oasis Pro, a U.S.-regulated brokerage platform. The acquisition, which is still pending regulatory approval, will provide Ondo with key U.S. securities licenses, including broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and transfer agent registration. The move is designed to support Ondo’s expanding role in the tokenized securities market.

Meanwhile, the deal positions Ondo to broaden its reach, particularly in the U.S. market. With over $1.4 billion in tokenized assets already under management, Ondo plans to offer tokenized stocks to non-U.S. investors through its Global Markets platform in the coming months.

Oasis Pro to Join Ondo Finance as Market Grows

Founded in 2019, Oasis Pro was one of the first U.S. firms authorized to settle digital securities using both fiat and stablecoins, such as USDC and DAI. It has also contributed to regulatory discussions through participation in FINRA’s Crypto Working Group.

Oasis Pro CEO Pat LaVecchia stated, 

“This acquisition combines our brokerage platform and licenses with Ondo’s existing institutional-grade infrastructure and products, a comprehensive foundation for a regulated tokenized securities ecosystem.” 

LaVecchia is set to join the Ondo team after the transaction closes.

Tokenization Gathers Momentum

The acquisition comes amid growing demand for tokenized financial instruments. Tokenization refers to bringing traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and funds onto blockchain systems, offering faster settlement, wider access, and programmable features.

Reports from institutions such as Ripple, BCG, McKinsey, and Standard Chartered forecast that tokenized assets could reach trillions in value over the next decade. Other firms, including Archax and Prometheum, have made similar moves to enter the U.S. market by acquiring licensed broker-dealers.

In addition to this acquisition, Ondo recently partnered with Pantera Capital to launch Ondo Catalyst, a $250 million initiative focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The program is set to support both equity investments and token-based projects aimed at expanding blockchain adoption in traditional markets.

As regulatory approvals proceed, Ondo is preparing to roll out new services to institutional and global clients, reinforcing its position as a leader in tokenized finance.
