Ondo Finance Launches 24/7 Instant Minting and Redemption for Tokenized U.S. Stocks and ETFs

Ondo Finance has officially launched 24/7 instant minting and redemption for tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, marking a significant expansion of its real-world asset (RWA) platform. The upgrade moves beyond the previous 24/5 minting and redemption window (available only Monday through Friday) to allow eligible users to mint or redeem supported tokenized assets at current market prices at any time, including weekends and U.S. public holidays .

What Assets Are Included?

The first batch of assets supporting 24/7 instant minting and redemption includes six tokenized stocks :

• SPYon (SPDR S&P 500 ETF)
• QQQon (Invesco QQQ Trust)
• CRCLon (Circle Internet Group)
• NVDAon (NVIDIA)
• TSLAon (Tesla)
• GOOGLon (Alphabet)

These assets represent some of the most actively traded U.S. securities. Ondo Global Markets as a whole offers access to 200+ tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs , with plans to scale to hundreds more. The broader platform includes assets spanning technology, semiconductors, energy, defense, and AI sectors .

Which Blockchains Are Supported?

The 24/7 instant minting and redemption service is currently live on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with Solana coming soon . Ondo has previously expanded to Solana for its Global Markets platform, offering 200+ tokenized assets on that chain since January 2026 . The service also supports L2 networks like Base and Arbitrum, where gas fees typically range from $0.01 to $0.10 per transaction compared to $2–$15 on Ethereum L1 during peak periods .

What Changed from the Previous 24/5 Schedule?

Previously, Ondo Global Markets operated a 24/5 minting and redemption window — meaning users could mint or redeem tokens 24 hours a day, but only on weekdays. The platform already supported 24/7 onchain transferability of tokens between wallets. With the new upgrade, the minting and redemption function itself is now available 24/7/365, including weekends and U.S. public holidays . This is a notable distinction: users can now create and destroy tokenized positions at any time, rather than just transfer existing tokens.

Minimum Investments and Fees

Ondo’s documentation confirms the following key terms for the Global Markets platform:

• Minimum investment: $1.00 USD
• Minimum redemption (to USDon or USDC): $1.00
• Direct bank wire purchases of tokenized stocks: Not currently supported
• USDon purchases via bank wire: Available only for investments of $500,000 or more
• Secondary market transfers/trades: Expected to be “nearly free,” with a small minimum required investment
• OUSG (Treasury product) : Minimum investment of $5,000 for instant mint, with management fees capped at 0.15% and waived until July 1, 2026; instant mint/redemption fees are 0%

The Ondo pricing model uses a proprietary quote system: the displayed “main” price for a token is Ondo’s estimate of the midpoint price of the underlying stock multiplied by the number of shares per token, while the actual quote price for a buy or sell transaction may differ slightly due to execution guarantees . Ondo’s fees documentation explains that when a quote is generated, the price may be slightly more or less than Ondo’s execution price, with any difference covering routing and hedging costs .

How This Fits into Ondo’s Broader Platform

Regulatory Engagement and Target Audience

Ondo Global Markets is designed for non-U.S. investors under SEC Regulation S, meaning participants must be residents outside the United States . The platform is available to qualifying global investors, with over 100 U.S. securities initially and hundreds more coming . Ondo has also secured regulatory approval from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs across the European Union and European Economic Area, covering 30 countries and over 500 million investors .

In late 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reportedly closed a multi-year confidential investigation into Ondo without filing any charges, according to a user-generated social media post .

Chainlink Integration

Ondo has adopted Chainlink as its official oracle provider for Ondo Global Markets . The integration uses Chainlink’s Data Feeds for real-time, institutional-grade pricing of tokenized securities onchain, and Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for cross-chain functionality. Chainlink’s Proof-of-Reserve technology also provides onchain verification that tokenized assets are fully backed . This is the first time tokenized stocks have been available for use as collateral on Ethereum DeFi .

OUSG Treasury Product

Ondo’s OUSG product provides tokenized exposure to short-term U.S. Treasuries and government money market funds for Qualified Purchasers. It offers 24/7 stablecoin mints and redemptions, with minimum investments starting at $5,000 and management fees capped at 0.15% (waived until July 1, 2026) . OUSG is backed by a diversified portfolio managed by BlackRock through its BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton, Fidelity, WisdomTree, and Wellington Management, and is structured as interests in a 3(c)(7) fund available only to accredited and qualified investors .
