NEW YORK, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ondo Perps launched the first perpetual futures platform for equities and commodities that supports both tokenized equity holdings and stablecoins as collateral for derivatives positions. By combining 24/7 trading with up to 20x leverage and the liquidity of conventional futures and options, Ondo Perps opens a new layer of capital-efficient trading in global markets.

The Ondo Perps platform unlocks trading of perpetual futures on leading U.S. equities, ETFs, and commodities – including SPCX, MU, AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, QQQ, gold (XAG), and silver (XAU) – for global investors outside the U.S.

Ondo Perps is built on technology developed by Ondo Finance, the largest tokenizer of securities by total value. Ondo Finance's technology enables the Ondo Perps platform to seamlessly source liquidity from traditional financial markets, much like Ondo Finance brought traditional exchange liquidity to Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs.

Ondo Perps is the first crypto perpetuals platform to unlock:

"Ondo Perps marks the first time a permissionless equity perps platform has been built with the infrastructure required to unlock liquidity, speed, and capital efficiency comparable to traditional derivatives markets," said Ian De Bode, President at Ondo Finance. "Hundreds of millions of investors outside the United States can now access 24/7 exposure to stocks, ETFs, and commodities with up to 20x leverage, and deploy tokenized stock holdings as productive capital. We are rapidly approaching an investing experience that is, quite frankly, far better than what a traditional brokerage account can offer."

Ondo Global Markets, which provides the underlying tokenized equity infrastructure, has grown approximately 5% per week since launching in September 2025 to over $1 billion in total value locked. Ondo Perps is the next layer of that ecosystem, enabling tokenized assets to function not just as holdings, but as productive collateral within a unified trading platform. The platform is designed to serve the large and growing population of investors outside the United States who seek leveraged exposure to U.S. capital markets but lack access to traditional brokerage infrastructure.

Note: The Ondo Perps platform is made available by Ondo Global Panama Inc. (dba Ondo Perps) using technology developed by Ondo Finance Inc. Not available in the U.S., Panama and other prohibited jurisdictions.
