Abu Dhabi approves Ondo Finance tokenized stocks on Binance, enabling Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla equities to trade on a regulated platform.
Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) has approved Ondo Finance’s tokenized stocks for trading on Binance’s regulated platform. This is the first approval of its kind under the framework of ADGM. The move means digital equities, including Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft, can be traded on Binance’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA)-regulated Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF).
Ondo Finance Expands Access to Tokenized Stocks on Binance Platform
The listing also includes tokenized ETFs such as Invesco QQQ, which gives investors more ways to access equities digitally. These products are available to non-U.S. users (subject to jurisdictional restrictions). The approval bolsters Binance’s regulated platform and helps increase access to hundreds of millions of global users.

Ian de Bode, president of Ondo Finance, said, “Through providing Ondo tokenized stocks for the Binance trading platform we are opening up the access to hundreds of millions of investors”. This move is a significant step towards bridging the gap between traditional equity markets and digital trading platforms.
Binance’s Tokenized Stock Push Gains Regulatory Support
Binance now has ten Ondo digital securities on its FSRA regulated MTF. This comes on the back of the EU prospectus approval of Ondo Global Markets by the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority in November 2025. That approval meant Ondo digital securities would be allowed to operate across the EU and EEA, demonstrating that the company can operate within established regulatory frameworks.
Tokenized stocks enable stocks to exist on the rails of blockchain. This allows transactions to be faster and accessing markets more flexible. Classic buyers and cryptocurrency proponents can trade equity-linked notes attached to underlying shares.
Ondo has already processed more than $11 billion in cumulative trading volume since the company launched its offering less than six months ago. Total value in these digital securities has exceeded $600 million.
Binance offered tokenized stocks before but paused the service nearly five years ago due to regulatory scrutiny in the U.K. and Germany. Now, Abu Dhabi’s approval gives Binance a fully regulated platform to trade these digital equities. Additionally, Binance still runs its Alpha platform for early-stage, higher-risk tokenized products. However, Ondo’s approval allows regulated investors to access tokenized stocks safely.
Support for tokenized stocks is increasing worldwide. Exchanges like Kraken, brokerage companies like Robinhood, and traditional market players like Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange are looking at similar products. According to RWA.xyz, the total value of tokenized stocks has exceeded $1 billion, demonstrating an increase in investor interest.
Advantages and Future of Tokenized Equities
Tokenized stocks have a number of advantages over traditional stocks. They enable investors to access shares in a digital format without falling afoul of regulation. These securities can also be moved more easily between different trading and lending platforms, bridge traditional markets and decentralized finance (DeFi).
Ondo structures tokenized offerings in the form of equity-linked notes. These notes are linked to the price and performance of the underlying shares. As a result, investors may obtain exposure to major companies such as Alphabet, Apple, and Tesla, without traditional brokerage accounts. The products have also come through with ETFs in order to offer wider market coverage.
The approval from ADGM is also a sign of increasing confidence in regulated tokenized securities. It enables Binance to grow its platform with regulated products and provides investors transparency and security.
Regulators have tended to support tokenized securities if they exist within structured legal frameworks. Ondo’s green lights from Abu Dhabi and Europe show that digital equities can meet regulatory standards and deliver modern-day trading solutions.
Overall, the partnership between Ondo Finance and Binance is a major step towards the adoption of digital assets. By allowing regulated trading of stocks turned into tokens, the companies are making stocks accessible to more investors around the world. The approval could also affect other exchanges to consider similar offerings combining traditional finance and blockchain technology.
