NEAR Protocol has partnered with Ondo Finance to offer tokenized versions of 20 U.S. equities, ETFs, and commodity-backed instruments on the near.com platform. This allows qualified participants to buy and trade shares of major companies like Tesla, Apple, and Microsoft using cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and USDC without needing a traditional brokerage account. The system uses NEAR Intents infrastructure to facilitate cross-blockchain transactions across 30+ ecosystems, simplifying the process. However, U.S. residents currently cannot access these tokenized securities due to regulatory restrictions. This collaboration expands Ondo Finance's tokenized equity offerings to the NEAR blockchain, enhancing onchain capital market options for crypto investors worldwide.
