Ondo Finance Acquires Oasis Pro: A Major Leap for Tokenized Securities in the US

Key Takeaways

• Ondo Finance has acquired Oasis Pro, securing SEC and FINRA licenses.
• This deal provides Ondo with essential regulated infrastructure for tokenized securities in the U.S.
• The tokenized securities market is projected to reach an impressive $18 trillion by 2033.

Ondo Finance's acquisition of Oasis Pro, a U.S.-regulated digital asset trading firm, marks a pivotal moment for tokenized securities. The deal provides Ondo with a complete suite of regulatory licenses, granting them the ability to issue, trade, and manage these assets within the United States.

In an environment increasingly focused on regulatory compliance, this acquisition positions Ondo Finance as a frontrunner in the next phase of tokenization.

What's Included in the Deal?

Oasis Pro brings to Ondo subsidiaries that hold:

• An SEC-registered broker-dealer
• An Alternative Trading System (ATS)
• A Transfer Agent (TA)

These licenses establish a regulated on-chain capital market, enabling everything from primary offerings to secondary trading. This means Ondo can now facilitate:

• Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs)
• Digital asset transfer and capitalization management
• Primary market offerings for tokenized securities
• Secondary trading for both public and private digital assets
• Capital markets services like private placements, underwriting, and M&A advisory

"We now have the most comprehensive suite of licenses and infrastructure necessary to develop compliant and regulated tokenized securities markets in the U.S.," stated Nathan Allman, CEO and founder of Ondo Finance. "This acquisition makes Ondo’s offering one of the strongest commitments to building a transparent, accessible, and compliant financial system on-chain."

Why This Matters for Ondo

Ondo, already managing over $1.76 billion in tokenized products, gains a competitive advantage in a rapidly expanding market. Industry projections suggest that security tokenization will exceed $18 trillion by 2033, with U.S. investors being a critical component of that growth.

Oasis Pro’s regulatory standing gives Ondo a crucial advantage. While others navigate regulatory ambiguities, Ondo now has a firm foundation in one of the world's most regulated financial landscapes.

Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro, highlights the combination of infrastructure and vision in this deal:

"This strategic combination unites an incredibly talented team, infrastructure, and expertise to build the leading trusted, regulatory-compliant platform in digital assets."

The Bigger Picture for RWAs

This acquisition occurs amidst increased momentum for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. From stablecoins to tokenized treasuries, institutional demand for compliant, blockchain-based products is growing. Ondo's acquisition of Oasis Pro underscores the increasing importance of regulatory trust in this evolving market.
