Our take
The crypto market hit it’s all-time peak in 2021 at a value of $3 trillion, whilst it’s not at the optimum place it was cryptocurrency is still very much challenging competitors in the digital currency market. Ondo finance is looking to innovate on top of the traditional crypto models offering structure investment products to users. The company has two branches; an asset management tool and a technology tool that develops decentralized finance protocols, each with their own interface.
A huge win for the company was a 2023 tokenizing exposure to US Treasuries becoming the first tokenized bond backed by US Treasury bills and bank deposits. With this Ondo has stood its ground as a market leader alongside its continued efforts to roll out new tokenised real-world assets and nurture protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto. The company boasts a large amount of funding that has supported and continues to support development in the sector to retain its position in the space.
