Ondo Finance<\/a> and Pantera Capital<\/a> have launched a $250 million fund to accelerate investments in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), Axios reported<\/a> on July 3.<\/p>\n

According to the report, the fund, named Ondo Catalyst, will invest in equity stakes and tokens of projects developing tokenized versions of traditional financial assets.<\/p>\n

Ian De Bode, chief strategy officer at Ondo, told the newswire that the tokenization market is witnessing an “arms race” as exchanges and protocols expand into tokenized stocks and exchange-traded fund offerings.<\/p>\n

Recent initiatives reflect this momentum. Robinhood launched a layer-2 blockchain to enable European clients to trade tokenized US stocks and ETFs.<\/p>\n

In May, Kraken announced plans to offer tokenized US stock trading to investors outside the United States, while Coinbase is reportedly pursuing regulatory approval to provide tokenized equities.<\/p>\n

Ondo Finance has been expanding its role in blockchain-based capital markets this year. The firm launched Ondo Global Markets to connect traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure and formed a Global Markets Alliance with other crypto companies to drive adoption.<\/p>\n
