Ondo’s Secret Sauce: EU Approval for Tokenized Stocks – But What’s the Catch? 🚀💸

by

Ondo Global Markets, that paragon of financial integrity, has finally secured the green light from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority to offer tokenized stocks and ETFs to retail investors across the European Economic Area. Now, 500 million investors in 30 countries can bask in the glow of compliant, onchain exposure to U.S. markets-assuming they’ve already lost all faith in traditional finance. 🎩💸

Ondo described the approval as a passporting milestone, which sounds like a fancy way of saying “we can now legally scam Europeans with crypto.” The platform’s $315 million in TVL and $1 billion in volume since launch are impressive… if you ignore the fact that it’s all just digital confetti. 🎉

The company said the authorization positions Ondo as a leading regulated provider of tokenized traditional assets in Europe, which is like saying a magician is the “leading expert” in making things disappear-except here, the things being vanished are your savings. Now, Ondo can expand its “products” to retail customers across EU member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. Because nothing says “trust” like a tiny principality’s financial watchdog. 🧠💸
