🔍 Execution quality gap

🎯 The slippage problem

Not all tokenized stocks deliver the same returns.​ While the sector grows rapidly, most platforms suffer from 50-100 basis points of slippage that quietly erodes investor returns.​

Ondo's approach differs fundamentally:

  • Real-time pricing pulled directly from NYSE and Nasdaq
  • Traditional exchange sourcing for underlying assets
  • Instant onchain delivery with negligible slippage
  • No T+2 settlement delays

December data: 441,746 observations across major stocks showed execution differentials under 5 basis points versus market prices.​

The platform has scaled to 200+ assets without relying on pre-funded inventory pools—a level unmatched by competitors.​

By connecting directly to traditional market liquidity rather than recreating it onchain, Ondo enables tokenized stocks to function as composable DeFi primitives while maintaining institutional-grade execution.​
