Binance introduces tokenized securities trading for Circle, Apple, and Google with Ondo

Ondo Finance, developers of Ondo Chain, a Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to accelerate the creation of institutional-grade financial markets onchain, which offers institutional-grade platforms, assets, and infrastructure to bring financial markets onchain, has announced that it now has 10 Ondo digital securities for trading on Binance’s Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), regulated by FSRA in Abu Dhabi’s ADGM. According to a blog post on Ondo’s website, the milestone is a demonstration that its digital securities model can operate within established regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions. Binance admitted Ondo Global Markets digital securities for trading on its Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), making them the first securities to be listed under the ADGM framework. The tokens deemed as securities for trading on Binance Alpha include Amazon (AMZNon), Alphabet Class A (GOOGLon), Apple (AAPLon), Circle Internet Group (CRCLon), Meta Platforms (METAon), Microsoft (MSFTon), NVIDIA (NVDAon), Tesla (TSLAon), SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPYon), and Invesco QQQ (QQQon). Ondo uses an equity linked note structure for digital securities, which it launched 6 months ago. The Ondo Global Markets has powered over $11B in cumulative volume and grown to over $600M in total value locked. Ondo Global Markets has already received regulatory approval to offer and sell Ondo digital securities to the public across the EU and EEA. The authorization comes from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority, a well-established European regulator with passporting across all EU and EEA member states. As per the post, “Binance’s admission of the tokens to trading on the Binance MTF under the ADGM FSRA framework further validates that Ondo digital securities can operate across legal regimes at the forefront of digital asset securities regulation.” Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, also noted that with the listing of Ondo digital securities on Binance, they are giving access to hundreds of millions of investors while achieving another regulatory milestone in the UAE after EU approval in November 2025. The Ondo digital securities and Binance are not available in the U.S. Other jurisdictional prohibitions and restrictions apply. The approval gives Binance a regulated venue to trade tokenized equities, nearly five years after it shut down a similar service following scrutiny from U.K. and German regulators. The move comes after Binance listed Ondo’s tokenized equities on its Alpha platform, dedicated to riskier, early-stage projects. Get seen where it counts.
