Ondo Upgrades Tokenized Stock Minting and Redemption to 24/7
On June 25, 2026, Ondo Finance announced the official launch of its 24/7 instant minting and redemption service for US tokenized stocks and ETFs. Previously, the platform only supported a 24-hour, five-day-per-week (24/5) minting and redemption window. With this upgrade, eligible users can now mint or redeem supported tokenized assets at the current market price at any time, including weekends and US public holidays, enabling truly round-the-clock operations.
This change removes the constraints of traditional financial market hours. Conventional stock markets are only open during specific weekday sessions, whereas tokenized assets combined with blockchain's global nature allow minting and redemption to serve users across all time zones. Ondo's move further bridges the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance.
First Batch of Supported Assets and Blockchain Networks
The initial set of assets supporting 24/7 instant minting and redemption includes six tokens: SPYon, QQQon, CRCLon, NVDAon, TSLAon, and GOOGLon. These tokenized assets represent tokenized versions of well-known US exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or individual stocks, offering users a diverse range of investment options. The service is currently live on the Ethereum mainnet and BNB Chain. Ondo also stated that support for the Solana network is coming soon, enabling participation on an even broader set of blockchains.
In terms of blockchain networks, Ethereum and BNB Chain are active ecosystems with high liquidity and user bases. With Solana joining soon, Ondo's tokenized stock service will cater to a wider audience with different preferences, further enhancing accessibility.
Significance of 24/7 Service for Users
This upgrade liberates users from US working hours or holidays, allowing them to flexibly adjust positions at any time based on market developments. For example, during sudden news events or price volatility, users can instantly mint or redeem tokenized stocks to better manage risk or seize opportunities. This flexibility is particularly important for global investors, especially those in regions unable to trade during traditional market hours.
Beyond convenience, the 24/7 service is likely to drive broader adoption of tokenized assets. By eliminating operational window restrictions, Ondo lowers the barrier to entry, making tokenized stocks more akin to the trading experience of traditional stocks while retaining blockchain's transparency and programmability. Looking ahead, as more assets are added and cross-chain support expands, the ecosystem of tokenized financial products will become even more robust.
