Talos Adds Ondo Tokenized Stocks and ETFs for Global Institutional Clients via Gate - Crypto Economy

TL;DR:

• Talos integrated Ondo Global Markets’ tokenized assets, offering institutional access to on-chain stocks and ETFs outside the U.S.
• The integration operates through Gate.io, which records over $20 billion in peak daily volume.
• Ondo Global Markets has accumulated over $13 billion in volume since its September 2025 launch and surpasses $700 million in TVL.

Talos will offer institutional access to Ondo Global Markets’ tokenized assets. Its integration will connect banks, brokers, exchanges and asset managers from more than 30 countries with U.S. stocks and ETFs represented on-chain. The operation excludes U.S.-based clients and will use Gate.io’s liquidity, one of the three largest cryptocurrency exchanges globally.

In the initial phase, Talos clients can access Ondo’s assets through the pre-existing connection with Gate.io, an exchange that recorded over $20 billion in peak daily volume across traditional markets.


This eliminates the need for direct onboarding with Ondo, allowing exchanges, brokers and fintech platforms to incorporate international market exposure channels within their current infrastructure. As the integration progresses, the plan is to establish a direct API connection between both platforms, with the goal of expanding use cases toward portfolio management and risk systems.


Institutional Tokenization Keeps Taking Root in the Market

Ondo Global Markets enables on-chain exposure to stocks listed on U.S. exchanges through Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain. Each token is fully backed by its corresponding underlying asset. This market is accessible 24 hours a day, five days a week, and remains aligned with traditional market hours. Since its September 2025 launch, the platform has accumulated over $13 billion in trading volume and surpassed $700 million in total value locked, a figure that exceeds that of all other tokenized stock platforms combined.


Talos Aims to Provide Access to Over 260 Assets

“Integrating Ondo Global Markets into Talos removes the last friction points for institutions seeking access to tokenized assets,” said Katie Wheeler, Head of Global Partnerships at Ondo Finance. For his part, Drew Forman, Senior Vice President and Head of Strategy at Talos, noted that demand for tokenized assets at the international level is high and that this integration is a direct response to that trend.

Going forward, they plan to scale to over 260 assets, targeting the incorporation of tokenized real-world assets within institutional trading infrastructure.
