ZIGChain and Ondo Finance partner to expand onchain access to US securities

ZIGChain integrates Ondo Finance to bring tokenized US stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) onchain, according to information shared with Finbold on Monday, June 8, 2026

ZIGChain, a Layer 1 blockchain built to bring investment products onchain for institutions and everyday users, has announced an integration with Ondo Finance to bring tokenized US stocks and ETFs to users across ZIGChain’s ecosystem. Ondo Finance pioneered the tokenization of institutional-grade real-world assets, and the integration extends onchain exposure to publicly traded US securities to a new generation of users across the GCC and beyond.

The integration deepens ZIGChain’s real-world asset stack alongside Valdora Finance’s Liquid RWA Vaults and Beehive’s tokenized SME private credit pipeline. Access to Ondo-tokenized products through ZIGChain will roll out in phases beginning at the end of May, with initial availability across selected ecosystem applications and partners, expanding over time.

Bringing institutional-grade securities to a broader user base

Ondo Global Markets is the issuance and redemption platform behind the tokenized stocks and ETFs. Each token is fully backed by the corresponding stock or ETF, enabling investors outside the United States to gain economic exposure to publicly traded US securities by minting, transferring, and redeeming securities-backed tokens.

“The next phase of onchain finance is not about replicating access that institutions already have. It is about taking those instruments and making them genuinely accessible to a broader universe of participants, through transparent, scalable onchain infrastructure, without the minimums and intermediaries that have always stood in the way,” said Abdul Rafay Gadit, Co-Founder, ZIGChain. “Ondo has done the hard work of bringing these products onchain. ZIGChain is the infrastructure through which that reaches a new generation of users. For us, this is deeply aligned with our mission: to make high-quality financial opportunities more open, more programmable, and more globally accessible.”

“Bringing tokenized US stocks and ETFs to new ecosystems and user bases is core to what the Ondo Global Markets platform enables. ZIGChain’s infrastructure gives investors across the GCC onchain exposure to the world’s most in-demand securities, with the execution quality and transparency that institutional markets demand. This is exactly the kind of distribution that expands the reach of tokenized finance where it matters most” said Oya Celiktemur, EMEA Director, Ondo Finance.
