Alpenglow is live on mainnet-beta ⛰️ 🎉 Solana’s new consensus protocol: finality reduced from 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds, built by Anza. Why this is important 🧵

This one has been in the works for over a year. Tokenization is not about bringing existing assets onchain anymore - that problem has already been solved by Ondo Stocks. What's next is bringing asset management and wealth management onchain, starting with intelligent portfolios. People globally can invest in sophisticated portfolios, developed by Blackrock for Ondo, with a single click, and access products that were previously only available to the wealthy select few. Over the next few months, expect Ondo to launch more intelligent portfolios that combine stocks, commodities, ETFs, and even prediction markets, to enable seamless and diversified investing. We are just getting started.

Ondo Stocks are now live on near․com and across @near_intents. Buy and trade NVDAon, TSLAon, AAPLon and more using crypto from 30+ supported chains.

Securing the backup seed phrase is hard. Can't have someone else read it and say, "oh, that's a nice seed phrase". Can't have it destroyed by fire, flood, etc. Can't have a hacker gain access to it. And most importantly, can't lose it yourself.

big news the solana deflation & burning proposals will go to an early vote starting tomorrow if they get at least 15% of stake to signal support, they'll go to a final vote after that if you're a node or holder that want these on Solana, show support fast no time to waste

Toly on why tokenized stocks on Solana are inevitable: "The world is getting wealthier. The companies making the world wealthier are American companies. They have the cheapest, best products that are globally scalable, and people want access to investment into these great products." "You now have this global demand for US equities creating unmet pressure. There have been attempts throughout history to bridge global liquidity. Blockchain is the latest one, and I think the one that is inevitable." @toly @TurnerNovak

It all counts. There are multiple ways to earn: ▸ 5M Ondo Points dropping weekly ▸ Refer users & earn 10% of their fees ▸ $175K USDC rewards for traders this week ▸ $25K of this week’s $175K pool is allocated to $GOOGL & $TSLA More to come.

Tokenization is coming to Japan 🇯🇵 ICYMI: Ondo is partnering with SBI Group, one of Japan's leading financial institutions, to bring Japanese assets onchain. SBI Holdings CEO Yoshitaka Kitao on Ondo's position in tokenization ↓

Ondo Perps is now open to all eligible traders, offering up to 20x leverage on the equities, indices, and commodities that global investors most want to trade. For the first time on a permissionless perps platform, tokenized stocks and ETFs can be posted as collateral alongside stablecoins. The design draws on what we learned building Ondo Global Markets. Rather than requiring market makers to pre-fund large pools of tokenized assets, we built Ondo Global Markets around a just-in-time liquidity model that connects directly to the depth already sitting in the underlying markets. Ondo Perps extends that same lesson to derivatives. Market makers can quote based on real market depth and hedge by posting the tokenized stock itself as collateral. One pool of capital doing what used to take two. During private beta, nearly $2 billion in volume traded through the platform, showcasing how much appetite there is for equity perps built on real market liquidity. Tokenized securities put real-world assets within reach of anyone with an internet connection. Ondo Perps is how you trade them. The collateral model that connects the two is the foundation for what comes next.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Chairman Paul Atkins says the SEC is modernizing rules to bring financial markets "on-chain."

I sat down with @mansourtarek_ to talk about prediction markets, perpetuals, super forecasters and what Kalshi is really building...which is a token factory of global probabilities. Every question the world cant price, they price it. And feed it back into everything else. The implications are wild. As ever, please enjoy!
