A New Era: Blockchain Meets Traditional Finance

With the advancement of blockchain technology, financial markets are experiencing a paradigm shift. Gate, in partnership with Ondo Global Markets, has unveiled the Ondo Zone—a dedicated platform where users can trade tokenized stocks and ETFs directly on-chain. The initial offerings include Apple (AAPLON), Tesla (TSLAON), NVIDIA (NVDAON), as well as tokenized ETFs QQQON and SPYON, all available for spot trading against USDT. This marks a seamless convergence of traditional finance and Web3.

Compliance and Security at the Forefront

The Ondo Zone’s greatest strengths lie not only in asset tokenization but also in providing a secure, trustworthy environment for investors:

• 100% Physical Asset Backing: Every token is fully backed by real stocks or ETFs.
• Regulated Custody: Licensed custodians safeguard all underlying assets in accordance with established financial regulations.
• Automatic Dividend Reinvestment: All post-tax dividends are automatically reinvested, supporting long-term value accumulation for investors.

Investors enjoy the transparency and efficiency of on-chain trading, while benefitting from the same protections and returns as in traditional finance.

Five Key Features Redefining the Investment Experience

The collaboration between Gate and Ondo is more than simple asset tokenization—it offers a fully integrated investment experience:

1. Comprehensive Access to Tech Stocks and ETFs: Everything from single stocks to index funds—all in one place.
2. Robust Yield Model: Automated dividend reinvestment boosts long-term returns.
3. Market-Aligned Trading Hours: 24/5 minting and redemption ensure market consistency.
4. Seamless Global Transfers: 24/7 transfers eliminate barriers of geography and time.
5. Flexible Participation: Fractional ownership lowers the barrier to entry, enabling broader investor access.
