Ondo Finance Launches Tokenized Stocks on Binance

Ondo Finance has announced the launch of tokenized stocks on Binance, expanding beyond their existing US Treasury products. **Key Points:** - Tokenized stocks are now live on the Binance platform - This follows earlier DeFi adoption announcements from mid-February - Represents Ondo's expansion into equity tokenization alongside their OUSG treasury product For full details, visit: [Ondo Finance Blog](https://ondo.finance/blog/tokenized-stocks-live-on-binance)

馃攳 Execution quality gap

**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鈥攁 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.
