Coinbase Launches Crypto-Tech Futures Index, Ondo Debuts 100 Tokenized Stocks

- Coinbase prepares to launch a unique index futures product blending top tech stocks and crypto ETFs. - Ondo Finance introduces more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks on Ethereum, pushing the boundaries of blockchain-based finance solutions. Coinbase is gearing up to launch futures trading for its innovative "Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index Futures" product on September 22, 2025. According to The Block on September 3, 2025, this index will feature ten equally weighted components. It will merge leading technology stocks, such as Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia, with BlackRock’s Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and Coinbase's own stock. The product targets investors seeking diversified exposure, positioning itself at the nexus of high-performing technology equities and crypto assets. This strategy capitalizes on the increasing overlap between traditional and digital markets. In a parallel stride for blockchain-based tokenization, Ondo Finance has unveiled a groundbreaking initiative by introducing more than 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on the Ethereum blockchain. Dubbed Ondo Global Markets, this effort gives non-U.S. investors onchain access to these assets, significantly broadening global accessibility to U.S. securities. Ondo also plans to extend its tokenization efforts beyond Ethereum, with upcoming deployments on platforms such as BNB Chain and Solana. This marks a pivotal step in integrating traditional financial products with decentralized infrastructure while addressing existing barriers in market accessibility and operational efficiency. According to CoinMarketCap, Ethereum (ETH) was trading at $4,465.62 as of 19:08 UTC on September 3, reflecting a 3.62% rise in its 24-hour trading volume.
