  • Ondo gains SEC-registered ATS, broker-dealer, and transfer agent via Oasis Pro deal.
  • Acquisition paves the way for fully compliant tokenized stock offerings for U.S. investors.
  • Oasis Pro brings FINRA and SEC approvals, stablecoin settlement, and token expertise.
  • Ondo now controls both the tech and licensing for regulated blockchain-based finance.

Ondo Finance has announced its acquisition of Oasis Pro, marking a major step toward expanding its regulated tokenized securities ecosystem. 

The move aligns with its broader mission to bring traditional financial markets onchain. The deal includes Oasis Pro’s SEC-registered broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and Transfer Agent (TA). This acquisition positions Ondo to serve U.S. investors through a fully compliant digital asset infrastructure. 

It also reflects the growing demand for blockchain-based investment products with regulatory backing.

Oasis Pro Acquisition Expands Ondo’s Regulatory Reach

The announcement came on July 4, coinciding with America’s 250th Independence Day. 

In a tweet, Ondo Finance described the deal as a key move in building U.S.-compliant digital markets. With this acquisition, Ondo gains access to one of the earliest U.S. trading systems approved to settle digital securities using both fiat and stablecoins.

Oasis Pro holds multiple licenses, including membership with FINRA and registration with the SEC. It has operated as a digital asset trading platform since 2020 and contributed to FINRA’s Crypto Working Group. 

Ondo now plans to use this regulatory foundation to accelerate its tokenized product rollout across compliant markets.

Oasis Pro has played a pioneering role in U.S. digital finance since 2019. Its platform allows trading of tokenized assets while meeting strict compliance standards. The company was among the first to offer settlements in digital stablecoins like USDC and DAI.

Ondo’s CEO, Nathan Allman, said the acquisition sets the stage for a more robust tokenized financial system. Oasis Pro’s CEO, Pat LaVecchia, joins Ondo’s leadership team, bringing expertise in regulatory technology. 

His experience will support the integration of licensed operations into Ondo’s global tokenized asset network.

Ondo Finance’s Positioning for the Tokenized Stock Market

Ondo is preparing to launch tokenized stock offerings for non-U.S. investors in the coming months. 

This product line will include assets backed 1:1 by real-world equities, traded on blockchain networks. Market forecasts project tokenized equities could reach $18 trillion in value by 2033.

With over $1.4 billion already under management, Ondo has established a strong base of custody partners and liquidity networks. The acquisition allows it to build a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain using regulatory-compliant tools.

The move positions Ondo at the forefront of U.S.-based tokenized finance. It now holds a rare combination of institutional-grade licenses aand on-chaininfrastructure. 

This expansion could lead to broader access to digital securities for American investors.

By acquiring Oasis Pro, Ondo gains a direct path to regulated market participation. As blockchain finance continues to mature, regulated platforms like these may play a central role in how assets are issued, traded, and held across the digital economy.
