Gate x Ondo: Bringing Stocks and ETFs On-Chain

The Intersection of Blockchain and Traditional Finance

The financial industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. While blockchain technology was once seen solely as the backbone of cryptocurrency, it is now making significant inroads into conventional finance. Gate’s latest launch—the Ondo Zone—is a clear example of this trend. In partnership with Ondo Global Markets, users have direct on-chain access to stocks of leading tech giants like Apple (AAPLON), Tesla (TSLAON), NVIDIA (NVDAON), and prominent ETFs such as QQQON and SPYON, all tradable against USDT.

Security, Transparency, and Yield All in One

The Ondo Zone goes beyond stock tokenization, focusing on compliance and robust investor protections:

• 100% Real Asset Backing: Every token is backed by the actual underlying stock or ETF.
• Licensed, Compliant Custody: Regulated brokerage firms hold assets in line with industry standards.
• Automated Dividend Reinvestment: The system automatically reinvests net dividends to facilitate ongoing asset growth.

Investors enjoy the liquidity and transparency provided by blockchain while receiving the same financial returns as in the traditional markets.

Five Major Advantages

The collaboration between Gate and Ondo delivers the following benefits for users:

1. On-Chain Access to Top Assets: Instantly gain diversified exposure to technology stocks and ETFs.
2. Full Yield Mechanism: Automated dividend reinvestment drives long-term value accumulation.
3. Market-Aligned Trading Hours: Supports 24/5 minting and redemption, mirroring traditional market access.
4. Unrestricted On-Chain Transfers: Move assets globally 24/7, eliminating time and location limits.
5. Flexible Entry Thresholds: Fractional ownership lowers barriers to entry for all investors.
