Near.com Integrates Tokenized Stocks and ETFs with Ondo Finance Partnership

Near.com has partnered with Ondo Finance to bring tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs alongside crypto assets to its platform. This integration allows users to access traditional financial markets from within their near.com account, expanding beyond crypto-native assets.

Ondo's tokenized securities platform currently boasts over $1 billion in total value locked (TVL) and over $26 billion in cumulative trading volume. Through the partnership, users can buy, trade, and hold these assets confidentially using a single near.com account, without opening a separate brokerage account.

The integration connects near.com users to Ondo's platform via NEAR Intents, which handles cross-chain routing and execution through one account. This means that users can access tokenized stocks such as NVIDIA, Tesla, and Apple, as well as tokenized ETFs like QQQ, using USDC, Bitcoin, or other supported assets across 30+ networks.

'Bringing financial markets onchain should give people more control over their money and more choice in how they transact,' said Alex Shevchenko, CEO of Defuse Labs. 'Our partnership with Ondo brings traditional financial markets closer to that onchain experience.'
