Ondo Finance Launches Technology for 20x Leveraged Equity Perpetuals Platform
Ondo Finance has developed the technology infrastructure for a new perpetual futures platform that enables traders to access up to **20x leverage** on major U.S. equity positions. **Key Features:** - First-of-its-kind platform for equity perpetuals - Supports trading on leading U.S. stocks - Built on Ondo's proprietary technology stack This marks Ondo's expansion beyond its existing tokenized Treasury products into the derivatives trading space, bringing traditional equity market exposure to decentralized platforms with significant leverage options.
Defense Stocks Lead Trading on Ondo's Tokenized Markets

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)
🔍 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—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.
