SEC Ends Ondo Probe as Tokenization Gains U.S. Momentum

SEC closes multi-year review into Ondo’s tokenized Treasuries and equities, showing growing U.S. digital-asset policy.

Tokenization enters formal SEC discussions as adoption accelerates and Ondo expands via its Oasis Pro acquisition.

Ondo plans 2026 roadmap reveal, emphasizing compliant growth in tokenized Treasuries, equities and broader RWAs.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission closed a confidential investigation into Ondo Finance on December 8 in Washington, ending a multi-year review that began in 2024. The inquiry examined whether the firm’s tokenization of real-world assets and the ONDO token complied with federal securities laws. The case unfolded during heightened digital-asset scrutiny and reflected concerns about fast-growing tokenized Treasury products.

Tokenized Treasuries and Listed Equities

According to Ondo, the investigation centered on its early work with tokenized U.S. Treasuries and publicly listed equities. The firm drew attention as adoption increased and as investors turned to blockchain-based versions of traditional instruments

At the time, regulators examined several projects that operated near the boundary between crypto markets and regulated securities. The company said it cooperated fully throughout the process.

However, the broader environment shaped the review. Industry failures and speculative excess still influenced policy debates, and regulators evaluated whether tokenized assets aligned with existing rules. Ondo noted that its rapid expansion in tokenized Treasuries, one of the earliest large-scale implementations, contributed to the visibility that prompted the inquiry.

Policy Reassess on Tokenized Securities

The closure of the case follows shifts in U.S. digital-asset policy. Agencies have begun reassessing actions taken under the Biden administration, according to statements from the company

The SEC’s Investor Advisory Committee also added tokenization to its agenda, examining how onchain issuance and settlement may integrate into public equities markets. This development marks a formal review of issues such as custody, structure and compliance.

Meanwhile, adoption continues to increase. Tokenized Treasuries remain one of the fastest-expanding onchain categories, and interest in tokenized equities is rising. Ondo recently acquired Oasis Pro, a firm with broker-dealer, ATS and transfer agent licenses, which expands its regulatory capacity for tokenized securities in the United States.

Roadmap Outline at 2026 New York Summit

The firm said it will continue building products tied to tokenized Treasuries, equities and other real-world assets. It also reiterated commitments to compliance, security and investor protection

The company plans to present the next phase of its roadmap on February 3, 2026, at the Ondo Summit in New York, where regulators, policymakers and executives will discuss developments in onchain market infrastructure.
