Ondo Finance Acquires Oasis Pro to Propel U.S. Tokenized Securities

Ondo Finance has decisively moved into the next chapter of tokenized finance by completing its acquisition of Oasis Pro, including Oasis Pro’s SEC-registered broker-dealer, alternative trading system (ATS), and transfer agent (TA) licenses. The deal gives Ondo a rare toolkit of regulatory approvals in the U.S., and the company says it now has what it needs to build regulated markets for tokenized securities aimed squarely at American investors.

What Ondo bought isn’t just a logo or a product; it’s a full-stack operational backbone. Oasis Pro brings tokenization technology, capitalization and transfer-agent services, a primary issuance marketplace, and a multi-asset secondary trading system that can handle both public and private securities using fiat or digital currencies. In short, Ondo now owns the plumbing required to issue, manage, and trade tokenized versions of a wide range of assets.

That range is broad: everything from NMS-listed securities and OTC equities to corporate debt, REITs, structured products, mortgage-backed securities and privately placed deals. Ondo also picked up licenses that support capital markets work, like private placements, underwriting and M&A advisory, activities that normally require deep regulatory credibility. Put together, the company argues, this positions them to bridge the old world of Wall Street with the new world of on-chain finance.

“We now have the most comprehensive suite of licenses and infrastructure necessary to develop compliant and regulated tokenized securities markets in the U.S. This acquisition makes Ondo’s offering one of the strongest commitments to building a transparent, accessible, and compliant financial system onchain,” said Nathan Allman, CEO & Founder of Ondo Finance.

Natural Next Step

Oasis Pro isn’t a stranger to that terrain. Founded in 2019 and backed by investors like Mirae Asset Ventures, it was among the first U.S.-regulated ATSs to support settlement in both fiat and stablecoins such as USDC and DAI. It’s been a FINRA member since 2020 and has played a role in industry discussions around regulation, including participating in FINRA’s Crypto Working Group.

Pat LaVecchia, Oasis Pro’s CEO, framed the acquisition as a natural next step, saying, “Ondo is defining the future of tokenization and positioning itself as the global leader in the transformation of finance. This strategic combination unites an incredibly talented team, infrastructure, and expertise to build the leading trusted, regulatory-compliant platform in digital assets. We are excited to be part of this journey.”

For Ondo, the timing couldn’t be better. The firm already manages more than $1.6 billion in tokenized products, and adding Oasis Pro’s on-ramps and licenses should speed up its roadmap. The wider tokenized securities market is heating up quickly, industry estimates cited by the company peg it as potentially enormous in the years ahead, and Ondo clearly wants to be one of the platforms that institutions and issuers turn to when they decide to bring assets onchain.

The big question now is execution. Owning approvals and systems is one thing; turning them into liquid, trusted markets is another. If Ondo can roll out primary issuance, scale secondary trading, and deliver smooth transfer-agent and capitalization services, it may genuinely lower the barriers for institutions and issuers wanting a regulated path to tokenize assets. For investors, that could mean new, compliant ways to access previously illiquid or hard-to-reach instruments. In the meantime, Ondo’s move is a clear signal: the race to build regulated tokenized markets in the U.S. is no longer theoretical; it’s underway.
