Metamask has expanded beyond digital currencies, adding support for tokenized U.S. stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and commodities directly inside its self-custodial wallet.

Metamask Users Gain Access to Tokenized U.S. Equities and Commodities

The new feature is powered by an integration with Ondo Finance, giving eligible Metamask users access to more than 200 tokenized representations of U.S. equities, ETFs and commodity-linked assets. The rollout is live on Metamask Mobile for supported jurisdictions outside the United States.

Tokenized assets are blockchain-based instruments designed to track the price performance of traditional securities. Rather than holding shares directly, users hold tokens that mirror assets such as U.S. stocks, broad-market ETFs and commodities like gold and silver. These tokens do not provide voting rights or direct equity ownership.

According to the announcement, Metamask said users can access the assets through the wallet’s built-in swap feature, typically using the stablecoin $USDC on Ethereum. Trading is available during standard U.S. market hours from Sunday evening through Friday evening Eastern Time, while onchain transfers remain available at all times.

The integration marks Metamask’s latest move into real-world asset ( RWA) tokenization, a sector gaining traction as crypto platforms look to bridge blockchain infrastructure with traditional financial markets. By embedding tokenized securities directly into a wallet, Metamask, like many other wallet competitors, is positioning itself as a single interface for managing crypto and traditional asset exposure.

The offering also highlights how blockchain technology is increasingly being used as a distribution layer for financial products that historically required brokerage accounts and legacy settlement systems. For users outside the U.S., tokenized markets offer access to American assets without relying on domestic brokers. The RWA sector has grown massively over the last year nearing the $25 billion range on Feb. 3, 2026, at $23.96 billion.

There are limits. Tokenized stocks and ETFs do not carry the same legal protections as holding securities outright, and Metamask disclosed that availability depends on local regulatory frameworks. Custody of the underlying assets and compliance obligations sit with Ondo and its regulated partners, not Metamask itself.

The latest tokenized product addition points to how the boundary between crypto and traditional finance (TradFi) markets continues to thin. For users, the appeal is convenience: fewer platforms, fewer intermediaries and a single wallet that now holds crypto, tokenized stocks and commodities side by side.
