The fastest start in RWA perps history.
Over $7 billion in volume has been traded on Ondo Perps, with $5 billion since public access went live, more than any other RWA perps platform in its first month, per @DefiLlama.
Key milestones achieved to date:
✅ Top 5 platform by 24-hour volume
✅ $20M+ in @Ondo Stocks collateral
✅ OI averaging ~$10M weekly growth
✅ $5B volume since launch & $7B total
✅ Hundreds of millions in 24-hr volume
This is just the start for Ondo Perps. More milestones, markets, and innovations to come.
🚨 $Ondo Fake News
Coin Bureau post might be fake news. I checked out that tweet with people who are very close to the situation
What I can verify publicly because the tweet contains serious allegations and THEY ARE FALSE, and I would not treat the tweet itself as established fact.
What is confirmed is that after Nate Allman’s unexpected death in May, Ian De Bode moved from longtime president into the CEO role.
$Ondo said at the time that he had already been running strategy, product and day-to-day operations for more than two years and had the confidence of the leadership team.
Also this is a contradiction with what De Bode publicly wrote shortly afterward. In his June 1 letter, he said he had spoken with Nate’s mother and described her as encouraging the team to keep moving forward — “two feet on the gas pedal.”
Until someone from Ondo Finance says anything I would treat this with suspicion and NOT fact.
If it's true my opinion is that this is a corporate-governance dispute, not yet evidence that anything is wrong with Ondo’s underlying business, products, assets, or institutional relationships. Watching this closely.
Retail is Selling NOT Institutions!
The global economy is coming onchain.
Tokenization fundamentally upgrades how the world’s assets are accessed and used.
Trillions will inevitably be tokenized.
$ONDO’s killing it on so many levels and a lot of people are going to miss out on what’s about to come.
It’s token price depreciated, the altcoin market was getting crushed, and yet Ondo Finance still added $338.6M in tokenized ETF market cap over the past year. 👀
That is more than Binance bStocks, xStocks, and Reserve combined.
This is not growth being carried by a bull market. It is Ondo gaining market share while the token itself was under pressure.
The price looked damaged.
The platform kept expanding.
That disconnect is exactly why I continue calling ONDO mispriced.
$ONDO's biggest bet is starting to play out in real time.
DTCC processes over $4.7 quadrillion in securities every year.
Now, that same infrastructure can generate tokenized entitlements that back select Ondo tokenized stocks.
This is how tokenization becomes part of the financial system; not overnight, but one major institution at a time.
I still don't think the market fully understands how big this could become for ONDO.
One month on from launch, Ethena assets on Robinhood Chain have crossed $200 million.
USDe now accounts for close to a third of all USD value on the chain.
Every market you use runs on one hidden rule.
Trust the house.
Trust they are not front running you. Trust they actually hold your money. Trust the game is fair.
You never get to check. You just hope.
Ondo just built a market where hoping is optional.
Picture a casino where three things are true at once.
The game runs in a sealed room the owner cannot rig.
Independent referees prove every hand was fair.
And your chips never leave your pocket.
For years you could only pick two. Fast, fair, or in your control. Never all three.
Ondo stopped forcing one system to do every job.
Trading runs in the sealed room. Fast and private.
Independent checkers prove it ran honestly.
Your money settles on a public blockchain. Yours the whole time.
And this reaches past crypto.
Every bank and every exchange on earth runs on your blind trust. This is the first real attempt to swap that trust for proof.
It is live now. If it holds, it becomes the plumbing under far more than crypto.
The house always wins because you can never check the house.
Ondo just handed you the receipt.
Save this. The day "just trust us" stops being enough, remember it started here.
@Ondo $ONDO
A new execution layer for financial markets.
The Ondo Network introduces a new execution layer, as fast and private as a centralized exchange, and as verifiable as a blockchain:
→ Near-CEX execution speed
→ Private order flow and positions
→ Verifiable, tamper-proof code
→ Full non-custodial control
→ Decentralized security
The foundation for the next financial system is here, powered by the Ondo Network.
Tokenized stocks refuse to slow down.
The category is up 400% YoY, opening access to the world's top assets and redefining how stocks are traded, held, and used.
Every stock will eventually trade onchain.
Introducing the Ondo Network, the execution layer for open financial markets, and the evolution of our vision for Ondo Chain.
Fast and private like a CEX. Verifiable like a blockchain. Non-custodial in design.
How it works:
→ Enclaves for private, high-speed execution
→ Decentralized attestors for verifiability
→ Blockchains for asset transfer settlement
The first application powered by the Ondo Network is @OndoPerps, the high-performance perpetual futures platform.
But the Network is not a perps-specific system. It is general-purpose infrastructure for any application that needs execution speed, privacy, and distributed, verifiable correctness. Spot markets, structured products, lending markets, and more can all be built on it.
Our mission has always been to make finance more accessible, and blockchain was our most powerful tool for getting there. But we always let the goal, not the technology, lead. And building for Ondo Perps, we realized that addressing the infrastructure constraints that matter today didn’t require us to build a chain — at least in the traditional sense — at all.
Financial infrastructure always meant tradeoffs: speed, privacy, control, verifiability, you bought one by giving up another. Those tradeoffs seemed inherent. They weren’t. They came from forcing execution, verification, and settlement into one place. Separate them, and you can have the right technology for the right use. That’s the Ondo Network.
Though the Ondo Network was first launched to enable Ondo Perps, this is only just the beginning of what can be done, including further opening the attestor set, proof-of-stake security, onchain state settlement, additional cryptographic proofs, selective privacy, and novel roles for staking.
Note that with each of these, the Ondo Network starts to look more like what people have always actually valued in a blockchain: many independent operators, one shared history, security that comes from economics and cryptography instead of mere trust, and rules anyone can check. But it does so in a way that gives users the speed and privacy they want.
That’s why the Ondo Network is really the continuation of what we set out to build with Ondo Chain. It isn’t a blockchain today; it doesn’t need to be. But as the Network evolves, we expect that distinction to get harder to make. While the Ondo Network isn’t the blockchain we initially planned, it’s actually the truer expression of why we wanted one.
The future of open financial markets won’t be defined by onchain or offchain, but by the properties that they need to function: speed, privacy, robustness, verifiability, composability, and access, all in different measures for different use cases.
The Ondo Network is not a bet on any one technology, but on the goal every technology we’ve adopted was meant to serve: a financial system genuinely accessible to everyone. One that’s composable and non-custodial. Verifiable without being fully visible. Fast without being centralized. Private without being opaque.
The Ondo Network is the evolution of the vision for Ondo Chain. And the first version is live today.
