Overview

- The equity tokens are fully backed by the underlying securities and use traditional exchange liquidity for minting and redemptions to preserve economic parity.

- The launch uses Alpaca’s brokerage infrastructure and is supported by partners including BitGo, Ledger and Chainlink, while Bitget and Bitget Wallet have enabled trading for eligible non-U.S. users.
- Ondo plans multi-chain support on Solana and BNB Chain and aims to expand to more than 1,000 tokenized assets by year-end, with the ONDO token showing intraday gains around the rollout.
