MetaMask integrates tokenized US stocks, ETFs, commodities via Ondo Global Markets

MetaMask announced today that it has integrated access to more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks, exchange-traded funds, and commodities through a partnership with Ondo Finance's Global Markets platform.

The rollout allows eligible users in supported non-U.S. jurisdictions to buy, hold, and trade the tokenized assets directly in the MetaMask mobile app, according to a statement shared with The Block. Using the app's Swaps functionality,  users can acquire the "GM tokens" with USDC on the Ethereum mainnet.

"Bringing Ondo's tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs directly into MetaMask shows what a better model looks like," said Joe Lubin, founder and CEO of Consensys, in the statement. "A single, self-custodial wallet where people can move between crypto and traditional assets without intermediaries and without giving up control."

According to the press release, the tokens track the market value of underlying securities such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as ETFs including SLV (silver), IAU (gold), and QQQ. Trading is available 24 hours a day, five days a week. Token transfers remain possible around the clock.

Meanwhile, access to these tokenized assets is restricted in the U.S., UK, European Economic Area, Canada, China, Russia, and numerous other countries. The tokens are not registered under U.S. securities laws and do not confer ownership rights in the underlying assets.

"The launch reflects a broader shift in market infrastructure, as tokenization is increasingly being deployed at scale, moving beyond early use cases toward broader distribution," MetaMask said in the press release.

Tokenized real-world assets have grown to nearly $24 billion globally. Cathie Wood-led investment firm Ark Invest has predicted that the market could surpass $11 trillion by 2030 as traditional financial instruments increasingly move onchain.
