Ondo Perps Adds Tokenized Stocks as Collateral

Ondo is changing how users back their perpetual positions. As of July 7, 2026, the platform now allows traders to use tokenized stocks as collateral. This update marks a significant shift in how equity assets interact with decentralized derivatives.

The feature currently supports two major equity proxies. Traders can use tokenized versions of the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 to secure their trades. By accepting these assets directly, the platform aims to provide more flexibility for those managing complex positions.

This move highlights a growing trend of bringing traditional financial assets onto the blockchain. Investors who hold these tokenized shares now have a practical way to use them without needing to sell their positions first. Market participants will likely watch to see if Ondo adds more stock options in the coming months.
