Ondo clears $4B in tokenized RWAs as Securitize puts Disney and Exxon on Solana

Tokenized real-world assets just got a very public scoreboard. Speaking at CoinDesk's Public Keys event at the New York Stock Exchange, Ondo's Matthieu de Vergnes said the platform crossed $4B in tokenized RWAs and now counts more than 565,000 holders, according to CoinDesk. Ondo sits at No. 1 in the category on that figure.

Ondo isn't stopping at bonds and treasuries. De Vergnes pitched tokenized U.S. equities as the next draw for global investors, flagged Ondo Intelligent Portfolios topping $50M, and said the firm plans to tokenize Anthropic on its IPO day. Collateral, portfolios and perpetuals round out the DeFi use cases he laid out.

Securitize brought the brand names. Its COO said the firm added 13 tokenized stocks, taking the total trading on Solana to 25, with Disney, ExxonMobil and GameStop among the names. Securitize also ran a Wall Street Journal ad, and its COO pointed to an education gap between synthetic exposure and actual entitlement for issuers.

tZERO is chasing a public listing of its own. CEO Alan Konevsky used the panel to detail a $350M SPAC deal that would take the firm public, alongside a stack spanning tokenization and derivatives. He also put a clock on the sector: tokenization goes mainstream in under five years.

The panel's throughline was ownership, not hype. De Vergnes explained which tokenized equity model Ondo uses, Securitize's COO walked through what a holder actually owns with a tokenized ExxonMobil share, and both tackled whether investors will move onchain and how long until all equities are tokenized.
