Ondo Finance And Broadridge Launch Compliant U.S. Tokenized Equities
@OndoFinance launches the first U.S.-regulated solution for third-party tokenized securities, in partnership with @Broadridge (NYSE: IVV), offering Micron ($MU) shares on the @Ethereum blockchain while keeping the underlying assets within the traditional domestic regulated custody chain.
For the first time, U.S. listed securities — BlackRock's iShares Core S&P 500 (IVV) ETF and Micron (MU) shares — were tokenized by a third party on a public blockchain while staying within the existing U.S. regulatory and infrastructure framework.
The integration ensures that token holders receive the same legal protections and governance rights as legacy brokerage clients, including automated on-chain proxy voting through the ProxyVote architecture.
By utilizing Oasis Pro as a registered transfer agent, the system facilitates 1:1-backed token issuance that operates entirely within the existing U.S. regulatory perimeter for the first time.
🇰🇷 SOUTH KOREA OPENS 24-HOUR WON TRADING AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME
South Korea will let the won trade 24 hours a day for the first time starting July 6, even as the currency sits at a 17-year low, per Bloomberg.
The risk is that global traders can now bet against it at any hour, a fear rooted in the 1997 Asian financial crisis that nearly broke the economy.
🚨ONDO TOKENIZES BLACKROCK’S IVV ETF AND MICRON SHARES UNDER U.S. FRAMEWORK
Ondo Finance launched tokenized versions of BlackRock’s $IVV ETF and Micron $MU shares using the SEC’s third-party custodial tokenization model.
This is a major shift from offshore tokenized stock structures, with Oasis Pro handling issuance and Broadridge providing proxy voting and shareholder communications for token holders.

🚨BREAKING: KOREAN FIRMS DENY FORMALLY JOINING OPEN USD ALLIANCE
Several Korean companies listed as Open USD partners say they NEVER officially agreed to join, per Chosun Biz.
Samsung Electronics said it had "NO official talks and NO idea of what role" it would play.
Dunamu, K Bank and Shinhan said Open Standard only asked if they were interested, while one company rep said they only learned they were listed through Korean media.
Open Standard’s own site still lists major Korean names among its 140+ OUSD partners.
PANIIIIIIIIIC ‼️
Remember a few weeks ago Gavin Newsom released a video in tears stating he and his wife were being investigated?
Well holy crap… it just got worse for the greasy bastard.
It was revealed today, longtime Democratic insider and Newsom appointee, Alexis Podesta, secretly wore an FBI wire (recording device) while cooperating with federal investigators in a probe that started with Newsom’s former chief of staff, Dana Williamson.
HOLEE SHYT!
Williamson pleaded guilty in May 2026 to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, filing a false tax return, and making false statements to the FBI.
The scheme involved siphoning roughly $225,000 from a dormant campaign account of former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra (disguised as consulting fees to benefit Becerra’s ex-chief of staff).
This explains why many Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists received FBI letters last fall about intercepted calls — the net was cast wide.
HOLEE SHYT!
The investigation has since expanded to include Newsom himself and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom (including probes into her nonprofit’s finances and taxes).
The walls are closing in on California’s most corrupt political machine.
YOU’RE GOING TO PRISON FUCKER!

As America turns 250, U.S. securities have come onchain on U.S. rails.
Today, Ondo Finance announced the first-ever live solution of third-party tokenized U.S. securities operating entirely within the existing regulatory perimeter in the U.S., in partnership with @Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (NYSE: BR) to provide full voting rights for tokenized equity holders.
For the first time, U.S. listed securities — BlackRock's iShares Core S&P 500 (IVV) ETF and Micron (MU) shares — were tokenized by a third party on a public blockchain while staying within the existing U.S. regulatory and infrastructure framework.
Until now, tokenized securities have largely operated outside the U.S. or have required issuer sponsorship on an issuer-by-issuer basis. This model brings them inside the U.S. regulatory perimeter, with the underlying securities held in the same infrastructure that custodies U.S. securities today.
Under this model, which closely follows the SEC's third-party custodial model, the underlying shares never leave the traditional U.S. regulated custody chain. Ondo's registered transfer agent, Oasis Pro, mints corresponding tokens, backed 1:1 by those shares, issued on the Ethereum blockchain and held by regulated custodians.
Each token holder will receive the same shareholder rights and protections as shareholders holding through U.S. brokerage accounts receive, including issuer communications and onchain proxy voting through Broadridge's ProxyVote․com platform.
“Tokenized Securities in the U.S. are too often framed as a binary choice between competing models and tokenization providers. This is a false premise. Ondo has built the regulatory, product, and service infrastructure to support all major models within the United States. Today's milestone shows we can tokenize securities in ways that meet both market and regulatory requirements, for U.S. and global investors and provides a strong foundation for our expanding access to onchain investments for more U.S. investors,” — Ian De Bode, CEO of Ondo Finance
“Tokenization will only scale when it delivers both innovation and investor confidence,” said Doug DeSchutter, President of Broadridge's Investor Communication Solutions business. “By enabling proxy voting, issuer communications, and regulatory disclosures for Ondo's token holders, we're living up to our promise to empower investors and issuers by providing them with the full range of trusted governance capabilities for tokenized securities regardless of how assets are structured.”
Internet took from the 1960s to 1996 to actually take off. Once it did? Game over, world changed.
Tokenization is on that exact same curve right now and we're sitting at the inflection point. 👀
The slow part is behind us. The fast part is just getting started. 🔥
🚨 BIG WARNING: BOJ YEN INTERVENTION SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED.
And this is going to decide the fate of global markets.
Today, USD/JPY had a sudden drop from 162.7 to 160.8 in a matter of a few hours.
This drop is without any major news, which indicates some sort of intervention.
Just yesterday, USD/JPY hit its highest level in 40 years, so an intervention is expected.
But why should you care?
The yen serves as a low-cost source of liquidity for the global markets.
The BOJ wants a strong yen, but the global economy wants a cheaper yen.
When the BOJ intervenes to make the yen stronger, it forces investors to sell their assets, which they bought using cheap yen.
So far, the BOJ has failed to stop the yen from devaluing despite several interventions.
But now the situation is getting intense.
The yen becoming the weakest against the USD in 40 years put pressure on inflation, which the BOJ doesn't want.
So, the Bank of Japan could go to the extreme for defending the yen and may break the markets, just like in August 2024.
