DeFi protocol Ondo Finance has, in a move that would make a cat laugh, completed the acquisition of Oasis Pro, a provider of infrastructure for real-world assets (RWAs). This, they say, will bolster their tokenized security offerings in the United States, which is a bit like saying a fish has acquired a bicycle to improve its swimming.

Oasis Pro has been a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) since 2020 and has served on the self-regulatory organization’s Crypto Working Group. This is a bit like being the only wizard in a village of accountants, but hey, someone has to do it.
Tokenized securities are an emerging focus within the crypto industry, with early efforts largely aimed at offering tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to investors outside the US. It’s like offering a slice of the American pie to the rest of the world, but with a blockchain twist.
As CryptoMoon recently reported, Kraken and Robinhood offer tokenized securities to non-US residents. By acquiring Oasis Pro, Ondo Finance aims to expand these offerings to US investors as well, the company said. It’s a bit like inviting the neighbors to the party after they’ve been enjoying it from the other side of the fence.
Ondo’s RWA Tokenization “Arms Race”
The Oasis Pro acquisition was announced shortly after Ondo Finance launched the Ondo Catalyst fund, a joint venture with Pantera Capital aimed at investing $250 million in RWA projects. This is a bit like throwing a large, glittering diamond into a pond and seeing who jumps in after it.
Ondo Chief Strategy Officer Ian De Bode said the investment is part of the company’s effort to stay ahead in the tokenization “arms race” unfolding across the market. It’s a bit like a medieval jousting tournament, but with digital lances and virtual armor.
Tokenization is gaining traction among major industry players such as BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Multibank, and Libre, which are already active in the market. Together, these and other firms have fueled the rapid growth of tokenized RWAs, with onchain financial assets now nearing $25 billion in cumulative value. That’s a lot of digital gold, folks.
Industry adoption is occurring in lockstep with an eagerness among regulators to adopt crypto-friendly policies in a second-term administration of US President Donald Trump. This was one of the main takeaways from a recent CNBC interview with SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who called tokenization an “innovation” and vowed to end the agency’s “regulation through enforcement,” referring to SEC policies under former Chair Gary Gensler. It’s a bit like the king deciding to be nice to the peasants after years of being a bit of a tyrant.
