Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization

Ondo

About Portfolio

Ondo (ONDO) is the governance token of Ondo Finance, a DeFi protocol focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) like U.S. Treasuries and money market instruments. It aims to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance by offering institutional-grade products—such as USDY stablecoin, OUSG bond tokens, and Flux Finance lending.

Governance & Token Utility

ONDO is used for on-chain governance through the Ondo DAO, enabling holders to vote on protocol upgrades, treasury allocations, and lending parameters. It can be staked or delegated to support governance participation and earn rewards linked to ecosystem growth.
