Ondo Finance Authorized to Offer Tokenized Stocks in EEA

Ondo Finance secured regulatory approval from Liechtenstein’s FMA on November 19, 2025, to offer tokenized US stocks and ETFs across the European Economic Area.

This approval opens access to potentially 500 million investors, influencing the tokenized assets market and Ethereum’s usage in Europe.

Liechtenstein FMA Approves Ondo for Tokenized Stocks

Ondo Finance secures approval from Liechtenstein’s FMA, allowing them to offer tokenized US stocks. The move opens wider access to European Economic Area (EEA) investors, marking a significant milestone for the company’s expansion strategy.

Ondo Finance’s subsidiary, Ondo Global Markets, received the license. This enables them to provide retail investors across the EEA with tokenized stock and ETF products. The approval reflects increasing regulatory acceptance of financial innovations.

EEA Licensing Could Drive Liquidity Boom for Ondo

Industry observers predict that Ondo’s licensing in EEA will attract significant liquidity participation, potentially increasing user activity for tokenized assets. However, there’s yet no visible reaction from major industry figures on key social media platforms.

The approval may lead to financial market shifts, increasing demand for compatible platforms like Phemex’s trading. As investors gain access to tokenized stocks, Ethereum’s role could expand, given Ondo’s reliance on this blockchain for its operations.

Regulatory Clarity Sets Ondo Apart from Synthetix

In contrast to prior ventures like Synthetix, Ondo’s regulatory clarity sets a new precedent. Unlike previous attempts lacking similar governance endorsement, Ondo aims to offer a legally compliant framework in Europe. Experts suggest Ondo’s approach might increase confidence in tokenization.

Nathan Allman, CEO, Ondo Finance, commented, “This approval enables retail investors throughout the EEA, including in all EU countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, to access tokenized shares and ETFs directly from Ondo in a fully regulated and compliant manner.” Historical market preferences imply potential amplification of Ondo’s investor base, leveraging robust data to navigate future financial product expansions.
