President @OndoFinance // Prev: Digital Assets @Mckinsey. Views are my own.

[Ian De Bode @iandebode]

The reception we got on the pre-alpha has been overwhelming. Mark your calendars. Real equity perps with stock collateral and tradfi liquidity are coming and will redefine the category.

[Ondo Perps @OndoPerps]

Perps changed how the world trades.

Now they're coming for equities.

The bell rings on June 9, 2026.

[Ian De Bode @iandebode]

This was a tough one to write. But I am relieved to get it out. Honoring Nate's legacy means making his vision a reality: making financial services accessible to everyone. The roadmap and purpose is clear, and the team has never been more motivated to win. Onwards.

[Ian De Bode @iandebode]

Thank you to everyone who shared their condolences, thoughts, and memories of Nate over the past 24 hours. The outpouring of people coming forward makes it clear how loved he was, and how deeply he impacted the lives of so many.

He was a trailblazer for tokenization and inspired many to follow his lead. He was the architect of much of the infrastructure powering RWAs today.

His legacy lives on onchain. Thank you to all of you who continue to put your confidence in our platform and team. We will not forget the trust you place in us.

It's been an incredibly sad day for Ondo Finance. Nate was not only an incredible founder and visionary, but also a very close personal friend. He will be missed dearly.

The mission of Ondo, Nate's mission, has not changed. If Nate were here, he would want to continue executing with excellence. We will make him proud.

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder. Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.

Nate’s brilliance, humility, and drive shaped every part of what Ondo is today. His belief in the power of technology to create a more open, accessible financial system lives on in everything we build. The impact he had on this industry, and on all of us personally, cannot be overstated.

Nate also helped us build a durable organization with experienced leaders across all facets of the business. Ian De Bode, Ondo Finance’s longtime President, will serve as CEO. Ian has been leading our strategy, product, and day-to-day operations for over two years and has the full confidence of the leadership team.

We will continue building what Nate started. That is the most meaningful way we know to honor him.

[Nathan Allman 🌊 @nathanlallman]

There is a lot of debate about the right way, and the wrong way, to tokenize securities. That framing is a false dilemma. The SEC has already recognized several different tokenization models operating in the market today, and that diversity is a feature, not a problem.

That diversity of options is a strength of the U.S. financial system. Versions of each of these models—"native," "wrapped," and entitlement-based structures—are already present in U.S. markets today, and hold the promise of finding substantial investor interest if allowed to develop further onchain.

At Ondo, we are uniquely positioned to support every major model of securities tokenization, and we have already demonstrated that when done right, tokenization enhances investor protections and accessibility, rather than eroding them.

All tokenized stocks. All via @OndoFinance.

We’re in the early stages of a generational shift.

[Felix @felixprotocol]

Last week, user 0xCA...d5a opened a $1M $NOW position onchain via Felix spot equities

User 0xCA...d5a was able to open up their $1M position on ServiceNow ($NOW) in less than 10 minutes for only 0.08% more than what is would cost through their offchain brokerage account

Benefits of this: they did not have to go through the tedious process of offramping and transferring funds into their brokerage account. Instead, they were able to quickly open up their $1M position on Felix without incurring FX costs, prolonged settlement times, or restrictions on withdrawal amounts

Trade $NOW and 264 other spot equities: https://t.co/S4qZhwaiNc

The adoption of tokenized stocks and ETFs is accelerating and happening faster than any other asset class to date. It took USDT almost 2.5 years to hit $1B; USDC did it in about 2 years, Blackrock did it in 14 months for BUIDL. Ondo GM did it in less than 8 months. Higher.

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

$1,000,000,000+ in tokenized stock TVL.

In less than 8 months, Ondo Global Markets became the first tokenized stock & ETF platform to reach $1 billion in TVL, one of the fastest climbs in the history of onchain finance.

Ondo Global Markets has established itself as the standard for tokenized stocks and ETFs:

→ Over 70% market share
→ Tens of thousands of holders
→ Over $18B in cumulative volume
→ Live across @solana, @BNBCHAIN & @ethereum

Since launch, the platform has scaled to 260+ tokenized stocks & ETFs, expanding access to the world's most in-demand sectors across AI, biotech, defense, energy, and more.

The pace of tokenization is accelerating with every new asset class. What took stablecoins and tokenized Treasuries years, Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs achieved in under a year, faster than any asset class before them.

This milestone reflects a generational shift in how global investors access capital markets, one that is more transparent, more accessible, and more efficient than the legacy system.

One billion down. Trillions to go.

Korean equities are having a historic year.

$EWYon, BlackRock's South Korea ETF tokenized on Ondo Global Markets, is trending.

Top holdings include:

→ SK Hynix Inc.
→ Hyundai Motor
→ Doosan Enerbility
→ Hanwha Aerospace
→ Samsung Electronics

With 80+ Korean equities in the underlying ETF, EWYon on Ondo Global Markets is expanding access to one of the world's most in-demand equity markets.

@rleshner Ondo Tokenized I imagine? 😉

$STRC has become incredibly popular onchain in a short amount of time. Now investors globally can just buy it onchain in tokenized form with stablecoins in their favorite wallet or CEX at the same price and liquidity as in a brokerage account. Only via Ondo GM

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

Tokenized $STRC is now live.

Stretch (STRC) is @Strategy's perpetual preferred stock paying monthly dividends, currently yielding 11.5%.

Now available across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana through Ondo Global Markets.

[Ondo Finance @OndoFinance]

Ondo has been selected in DTCC's Industry Working Group to advance tokenization in the U.S.

@The_DTCC custodies over $114 trillion in assets and clears $3.7 quadrillion annually. It is now building a tokenization service designed to bring the core of U.S. capital markets onchain, with Ondo among the select firms contributing to its design.

Ondo will work alongside a set group of TradFi and DeFi firms, including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Franklin Templeton, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citadel Securities, NYSE Group, Circle, Fireblocks, Robinhood and more.

DTCC President and CEO Frank La Salla on the significance of the moment:

“We believe tokenization will significantly change how markets work and operate, bringing new levels of liquidity, transparency and efficiency to investors.”

The DTCC has been at the center of U.S. capital markets for over 50 years. Its decision to build a tokenization service, and to bring Ondo to the table alongside the world's leading financial institutions, reflects how far tokenization has come.

As the largest tokenizer of stocks and ETFs and one of the largest tokenizers of U.S. Treasuries, Ondo is well positioned to contribute to the work ahead and keep the U.S. at the forefront of global markets.

[Ian De Bode @iandebode]

@doit4dalore @guywuolletjr @OndoPerps Anyone can initiate the carry trade and collect funding, better capital efficiency on platform, much better liquidity for the markets as a result
