Question 1

What is COINON?

Accepted Answer

COINON is a tokenized-security product in the Ondo Stocks system that tracks the economic performance of Coinbase stock and is issued by Ondo Global Markets (BVI) Limited. “on” is the suffix used by the system to identify the corresponding tokenized stock. It gives eligible users on-chain economic exposure related to the underlying security, but COINON itself is not common stock issued by Coinbase. The issuer, holders' rights, and applicable restrictions should be governed by the product's final terms and Ondo Stocks rules.

Question 2

Is holding COINON equivalent to holding Coinbase stock?

Accepted Answer

No. Holding COINON provides economic exposure to Coinbase stock performance, rather than direct ownership of Coinbase common stock, and it does not automatically confer the corporate-governance or delivery rights of a common-stock shareholder. This distinction is important: the underlying stock's market performance may affect the token's economic performance, but the legal relationship between token holders and the issuing company is not equivalent to holding that company's shares in a traditional securities-registration system.

Question 3

Why does COINON's supply change, and how is it asset-backed?

Accepted Answer

COINON's supply is not issued all at once in advance according to a fixed maximum total; it changes with direct minting and redemption. Corresponding tokens are created when users mint, and corresponding tokens exit the supply cycle when they are redeemed. Ondo Stocks states that its tokenized stocks are fully backed by the corresponding stocks and cash in transit, with the relevant underlying assets held by a U.S. registered broker-dealer or a U.S. chartered national trust company, and an independent verification agent reviewing backing daily. The function of the backing structure is to provide an asset basis for tokenized exposure; it does not mean the secondary-market price will necessarily always be exactly equal to the underlying asset's cash value.

Question 4

How does COINON reflect a dividend paid by Coinbase?

Accepted Answer

COINON is designed to track the total return of the underlying security, rather than only share-price changes. If the underlying pays a dividend, the product mechanism first deducts applicable withholding tax and then automatically reinvests the net amount. Accordingly, holders generally do not receive a separate on-chain dividend payment; dividend treatment is reflected through the token's corresponding economic performance. Withholding taxes and other applicable conditions affect the net amount actually reinvested, so total return should not be understood as the full nominal dividend being received without tax deductions.

Question 5

Can COINON be minted or redeemed at any time?

Accepted Answer

On-chain tokens can be transferred and traded, but “being transferable on-chain” does not mean that every user can directly mint or redeem with the issuing system at any time. Direct minting and redemption are available to non-U.S. users who meet the access requirements, generally 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. When redemption is open, it may settle at the underlying asset's cash value in stablecoins or U.S. dollars; it is therefore not a process for directly delivering Coinbase stock into a user's securities account. Special underlying-market closures, scheduled maintenance, outages, or other extraordinary events may affect service availability.

Question 6

How do corporate actions such as stock splits affect COINON?

Accepted Answer

Corporate actions such as stock splits and cash or stock dividends change the quantity, price, or return composition of the underlying security, and therefore need to be reflected accordingly in COINON's economic exposure to avoid mistaking an existing exposure for an additional gain or loss solely because of a corporate action. Before and after such events, direct minting and redemption may be temporarily unavailable due to underlying-market or operational processing; secondary-market trading and direct minting and redemption are different routes, and actual availability remains subject to platform rules and applicable restrictions.
