Ondo Finance to acquire SEC-regulated broker-dealer Oasis Pro

Ondo Finance, the blockchain platform focused on institutional-grade finance, has announced the acquisition of Oasis Pro, a regulated broker-dealer platform.

In a statement on July 4, 2025, Ondo Finance (ONDO) confirmed that acquiring Oasis Pro, which is regulated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, marks a significant step in its strategy to expand its real-world assets footprint through tokenized stocks.

Oasis Pro, founded in 2019, has been a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority since 2020 and provides compliant infrastructure for the issuance and trading of tokenized securities.

This acquisition gives Ondo Finance access to the licenses and infrastructure required to bring tokenized stocks to the U.S. market. Oasis Pro’s regulation by both the SEC and FINRA qualifies it as a compliant broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System, and Transfer Agent.

Ondo Finance eyes dominance in RWA market

Oasis Pro is among the first U.S.-regulated ATSs to secure approval for digital securities settlement in both fiat and stablecoins. The platform has also collaborated with FINRA’s Crypto Working Group, helping to shape the emerging regulatory framework for asset tokenization in the U.S.

Pat LaVecchia, chief executive officer of Oasis Pro, will join the Ondo Finance team. His leadership is expected to strengthen Ondo’s efforts in building a compliant and efficient digital asset infrastructure.

“This acquisition combines our brokerage platform and licenses with Ondo’s existing institutional-grade infrastructure and products, a comprehensive foundation for a regulated tokenized securities ecosystem,” LaVecchia noted.

Tokenization continues to accelerate, with analysts projecting the sector to exceed $18 trillion by 2033.

According to rwa.xyz, total real-world assets on-chain currently stand at $24.79 billion, with Ondo Finance’s tokenized portfolio exceeding $1.4 billion.

Ondo aims to meet growing investor demand, with tokenized stocks expected to launch for non-U.S. investors in the coming months. The acquisition follows recent developments including Ondo and Pantera Capital’s plan to invest $250 million in RWA projects adds to this trend.

“This acquisition will empower us to realize our vision of building a robust and accessible tokenized financial system, backed by the strongest regulatory foundations,“ said Nathan Allman, chief executive officer of Ondo Finance. 

While Ondo eyes the tokenized stocks market, its entry will only add to a sector already teeming with offers by crypto exchanges and platforms. These include Kraken, Robinhood, Gemini and Bybit, who have all recently unveiled such products.
