Institutional digital asset platform Talos integrated Ondo Global Markets' tokenized stocks and ETFs on March 31, 2026, making them available to global institutional clients outside the U.S. via the Gate.io exchange.
The move provides Talos's institutional user base with a compliant and secure access point to the growing market for real-world assets (RWA). The integration is facilitated through Gate.io, a major digital asset exchange that records over $20 billion in peak daily trading volume.
"Providing institutional-grade access to the full spectrum of digital assets is core to our mission," a Talos representative said. "Integrating Ondo's tokenized securities is a critical step in bridging the gap between traditional finance and the on-chain economy."
Since its launch in September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has accumulated over $13 billion in total transaction volume and currently holds over $700 million in total value locked (TVL), according to the announcement. The platform allows for the creation and trading of on-chain versions of traditional financial instruments like stocks and exchange-traded funds.
The partnership between Talos and Ondo represents a significant development for the RWA sector, which aims to bring traditional financial assets onto blockchain rails. By leveraging Talos's established institutional infrastructure and Gate.io's deep liquidity, Ondo's tokenized securities gain a powerful distribution channel.
This collaboration is expected to increase institutional capital flows into the RWA space by offering a trusted and efficient pathway to tokenized assets. The success of this integration could bolster the valuation and adoption of Ondo Finance (ONDO) and other protocols focused on real-world assets, demonstrating a scalable use case that connects the worlds of institutional finance and DeFi.
