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 on-chain for institutions and regular users, has announced an integration with Ondo Finance to bring tokenized US stocks and ETFs to users across the ZIGChain 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 in 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 via ZIGChain will be rolled out in phases beginning in late May, with initial availability across select ecosystem applications and partners increasing over time.
Bringing institutional quality effects 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, allowing investors outside the United States to gain economic exposure to publicly traded U.S. securities by minting, transferring and redeeming security-backed tokens.
“The next phase of onchain finance isn’t about replicating the access institutions already have. It’s about taking these tools and making them truly accessible to a broader universe of participants, through transparent, scalable on-chain infrastructure, without the minimums and middlemen that have always stood in the way.” said Abdul Rafay Gadit, co-founder of ZIGChain. “Ondo has done the hard work to bring these products onchain. ZIGChain is the infrastructure that will reach a new generation of users. For us, this aligns closely with our mission: making high-quality financial opportunities more open, programmable and globally accessible.”
“Bringing tokenized US stocks and ETFs to new ecosystems and user bases is at the core of what the Ondo Global Markets platform makes possible. 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 extends the reach of tokenized finance where it matters most.” says Oya Celktemur, EMEA director of Ondo Finance.
