Overview
- Ondo said the SEC ended a confidential, multi‑year review without enforcement, disclosing the closure publicly on December 8 after receiving formal notice in late November.
- The inquiry examined whether tokenized Treasuries, stocks and ETFs complied with federal securities laws and whether the ONDO token should be treated as a security.
- ONDO jumped roughly 6% immediately after the announcement, signaling investor relief over reduced legal risk.
- Ondo aims to accelerate U.S. expansion by leveraging new registrations and its Oasis Pro Markets acquisition, with the company planning to outline offerings at its February 3, 2026 summit in New York.
- Coverage places the case closure within a broader policy shift under SEC Chair Paul Atkins as other crypto matters have been wound down, while Ondo also advances in Europe through Liechtenstein approval and Bitget integration.
