Tokenized stocks expand beyond market access into collateral and diversified portfolios

Tokenized stocks are gaining uses beyond access to U.S. capital markets, including collateralized borrowing, diversified portfolios and perpetual futures trading. Ondo said its focus is expanding from making assets available onchain to building demand for products that use them. In a November 9 interview on CoinDesk’s X account, Mathieu de Verne, Ondo’s global head of institutional, said the platform’s onchain assets had doubled over the past year and cumulative onchain users had exceeded 1 million. He described that growth as a starting point for broader adoption. De Verne said demand initially came from investors outside the U.S. who face barriers to buying Treasuries, U.S. stocks and ETFs. Intermediary fees, investor eligibility restrictions and trading hours across time zones can limit access.
