On March 4, 2026, Seychelles-based crypto exchange MEXC launched seven tokenized US equities in partnership with Ondo Finance, targeting the defense and energy sectors. The tokens trade as ERC-20 smart contracts against USDT pairs, with two separate listing tranches at 12:00 UTC and 13:00 UTC, and withdrawals enabled from March 5.
Seven Tokenized Stocks Listed
The offerings include LMTON/USDT (Lockheed Martin), RTXON/USDT (Raytheon Technologies), BBAION/USDT (Boeing), ACHRON/USDT (AeroVironment), COPON/USDT (Phillips 66), OXYON/USDT (Occidental Petroleum), and ONDSON/USDT (Ondo Finance itself). Each token represents direct ownership of the underlying equity, with holdings held in regulated trust accounts and verified via quarterly third-party audits.
Breaking Down Barriers in Traditional Markets
Tokenized equities offer 24/7 continuous trading across geographies, remove position minimums, and eliminate qualified investor restrictions. Defense and energy stocks traditionally suffer from wide bid-ask spreads and limited retail access. MEXC claims this extends institutional-grade market access to its 15 million+ user base.
Founded in 2018, MEXC brands itself as "Your Easiest Way to Crypto," serving over 40 million users in 170+ countries with low fees and frequent airdrops. The exchange says it remains committed to delivering high-quality assets to both retail and professional traders.
