Ondo Finance Switches On Round the Clock Minting for AMD, Intel and Eight More Tokenised US Stocks, Taking Always On Issuance to 16 Assets

Ondo Finance activated round the clock minting and redemption for ten additional tokenised US stocks on 17 July, including AMD and Intel, taking the total number of always available assets on its platform to 16. The move makes Ondo the first tokenisation platform to offer genuine round the clock primary issuance for US equities, meaning investors can create or redeem tokenised shares outside normal Wall Street hours, including at weekends, rather than only trading existing tokens between fixed sessions. If you look at the wider picture, the distinction matters more than it might first appear. Most tokenised equity platforms to date have offered continuous secondary trading of tokens that were minted during market hours, which still leaves a gap between when new supply can be created and when investors actually want to transact. Ondo's expansion closes that gap for a growing slice of its catalogue. The platform now lists more than 430 tokenised stocks and exchange traded funds and has passed 1 billion dollars in total value locked, with the ONDO token rising as much as 17 per cent in the days following the announcement as the market absorbed the news alongside a separate partnership with SBI Group to tokenise Japanese assets settled in yen stablecoin. The timing is notable. Ondo's round the clock minting arrived just two days after the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation began limited production trades of tokenised Russell 1000 stocks and US Treasuries, the clearest sign yet that the infrastructure underpinning tokenised equity in the United States is moving from pilot to production in parallel across multiple providers rather than being led by a single platform. For UK founders and investors, the significance is less about Ondo specifically and more about what continuous issuance demonstrates is now technically and operationally possible. The FCA's Digital Securities Sandbox and the PISCES framework for trading private company shares are both built around scheduled trading windows rather than continuous markets, a deliberately cautious design choice given the UK's focus on private, not public, company shares. Ondo's move shows what the ceiling looks like once regulators are comfortable removing those constraints, and gives UK policymakers and platform operators a live reference point for how demand responds when issuance frictions are removed entirely.

Key Takeaways


  • Ondo Finance can now mint and redeem 16 tokenised US stocks around the clock, including AMD and Intel, rather than only during standard trading hours.

  • This is understood to be the first genuine round the clock primary issuance capability for tokenised US equities, distinct from continuous secondary trading of tokens minted during market hours.

  • The platform now carries more than 430 tokenised stocks and ETFs and has surpassed 1 billion dollars in total value locked.

  • The announcement lands two days after DTCC's own tokenised securities pilot went live, underlining that US tokenised equity infrastructure is advancing on several fronts simultaneously.

  • For UK readers, Ondo's move is a live demonstration of what continuous issuance looks like once the regulatory brakes are released, relevant context for how the FCA calibrates future stages of the Digital Securities Sandbox and PISCES.
