Ondo Global Markets just hit a major milestone. The U.S.-based platform has received regulatory clearance from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs across 30 European countries.
This move opens the door for over 500 million investors to access U.S. markets directly on-chain under a regulated framework.
The announcement comes weeks after Ondo partnered with Boerse Stuttgart Group’s BX Digital to enable tokenized stock trading in Switzerland. Now, retail investors across all EEA countries, including the 27 EU nations plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, can access tokenized equities through Ondo’s platform.
Liechtenstein’s approval operates under the MiCA Implementation Act, aligning with EU-wide rules for crypto asset service providers. After the transitional regime ends on Dec. 31, 2025, all crypto platforms serving European clients must hold MiCA authorization. Ondo emphasized that this passporting mechanism allows it to operate across the EEA while maintaining strong investor protection standards.
Ondo’s platform bridges traditional finance and blockchain, giving investors conventional market exposure with on-chain settlement and custody, all without leaving their wallets.
The approval comes amid ongoing discussions in the EU about centralizing crypto supervision under ESMA, highlighting the growing importance of regulatory clarity for tokenized assets.
With this regulatory win, Ondo positions itself as a leader in European tokenized finance, providing a compliant gateway for investors looking to bring traditional stocks onto the blockchain.
