Tokenized stocks and ETFs: Ian de Bode (Ondo) on What’s Next [EN]
Tokenized securities: access, collateral, settlement—and what it takes for institutional adoption
Episode 3: Tokenized stocks and ETFs
In this episode of Inside Digital Assets, host Lidia Kurt speaks with Ian de Bode, President of Ondo Finance, about the partnership with BX Digital and what it takes to bring public market assets (U.S. stocks, ETFs, and U.S. Treasuries) on-chain at scale, with credible price discovery and an investor-grade market structure.
They explore why tokenization is increasingly starting with highly liquid asset classes, how TradFi liquidity can be bridged into crypto-native environments, and what needs to happen before institutions adopt tokenized securities beyond early pilots.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why liquidity comes first - Tokenization isn’t only about “fractionalizing” illiquid assets. For on-chain markets to work, you need tight pricing, deep liquidity, and reliable subscriptions/ redemptions, which is why public equities and Treasuries are a logical starting point.
Tokenization as a technology upgrade - From physical certificates → electronic registries → tokenized rails: tokenization is framed as the next infrastructure layer for capital markets, especially where settlement, cross-border transfer, and interoperability still lag.
From trading efficiency to settlement efficiency - Traditional markets excel at price discovery during trading hours, but settlement remains comparatively slow and fragmented. Tokenization can improve this by changing the “rails” behind the market.
