Ondo is a company building institutional-grade onchain financial infrastructure and products that bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Its offerings include tokenized public securities (Ondo Stocks) that make public securities freely transferable and usable in DeFi, USDY (a permissionless yield-bearing stablecoin), and OUSG (an institutional product offering exposure to short-term US Treasuries with 24/7 instant minting and redemptions). Ondo emphasizes compliance, institutional-grade security, third-party audits, and partnerships with asset managers and regulated service providers. The company’s Nexus technology enables instant minting and redemption for tokenized US Treasuries and stablecoins and supports omnichain issuance and distribution. Ondo works with partners like Broadridge, J. P. Morgan, Mastercard, Ripple, and asset managers to bring voting and cross-border redemption capabilities to tokenized assets.
