Ondo Urges SEC, CFTC to Bring US Stock Perpetuals Onshore

1 reports · First detected 2026-09-03 · Last active 2026-09-03

Ondo Finance, a protocol focused on tokenizing real-world assets, is seeking to extend blockchain-based access from securities into derivatives. Single-stock perpetual contracts track the price of an equity without an expiry date, offering continuous exposure outside traditional market structures. Allowing such products in the US would test whether existing securities and derivatives rules can accommodate a growing class of onchain financial instruments.

Ondo submitted a comment letter to the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, arguing that current securities laws can support single-stock perpetual products without an entirely new regulatory framework. The company already offers stablecoin-settled US stock perpetuals to users outside the country and is urging the two agencies to bring that activity onshore, where trading could operate under US regulatory oversight.

The Backstory

The history behind this event
Ondo Finance Launches SEC-Aligned Model for Tokenized U.S. Stocks and ETFs2026-07-03 · 1 reports · similarity 0.82

Tokenized securities record interests in traditional assets on a blockchain. In January 2026, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission outlined a third-party custody model under which the underlying securities remain within the regulated custody chain. Ondo Finance's initiative brings a model commonly used offshore into the existing U.S. framework. Its overseas platform already holds more than $1 billion in assets spanning over 430 stocks and ETFs.

On July 2, 2026, Ondo Finance launched 1:1 tokenized interests in BlackRock's iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and Micron Technology (MU) shares on Ethereum. SEC-registered transfer agent Oasis Pro TA handles minting, while Broadridge provides voting, disclosures and shareholder communications. The products are not currently available to U.S. investors.
