Ondo Finance Acquires SEC-Registered Broker to Enter $25 Billion Tokenized Market

- Ondo Finance acquires U.S.-licensed broker-dealer, ATS, and Transfer Agent Oasis Pro. - The deal enables Ondo to dominate regulated tokenized securities and real-world asset (RWA) markets. On July 4, 2025, CoinDesk reported that Ondo Finance has acquired Oasis Pro, a U.S.-regulated broker-dealer with critical licenses for the rapidly growing tokenized securities sector. The acquisition includes Oasis Pro’s subsidiaries, which are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and Transfer Agent (TA). As a result, Ondo Finance will use this infrastructure to establish a compliant ecosystem for regulated tokenized securities in the United States. Founded in 2019, Oasis Pro became one of the first U.S. platforms approved to use fiat and stablecoins like USDC and DAI for digital securities settlement. As a longstanding member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) since 2020, the company actively contributed to FINRA’s Crypto Working Group, which helped influence the regulatory framework for digital assets. While the companies did not disclose the financial terms of the acquisition, Oasis Pro’s CEO, Pat LaVecchia, will join Ondo Finance to enhance its focus on regulatory-compliant systems. His leadership will bolster Ondo’s ability to scale its U.S.-based offerings and meet expanding market demands. This acquisition aligns with Ondo Finance’s broader strategy to lead in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. In addition, the company recently unveiled the Ondo Catalyst fund in collaboration with Pantera Capital—a $250 million initiative that invests in RWA-focused projects. With an international portfolio that already holds over $1.4 billion in tokenized financial products under management, the integration of Oasis Pro will now allow the company to bridge solutions for both global and American investors. According to market data on July 4 at 19:08 UTC, Ondo (ONDO) traded at $0.771, while its 24-hour trading volume had declined by 3.309%.
