MetaMask has expanded its platform to include more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) through a new integration with Ondo Finance, allowing users to trade traditional assets directly within the wallet.

The update, announced by Ondo on February 3, brings Ondo Global Markets’ tokenized equities, ETFs, and commodity-linked products to eligible mobile users in supported regions.

This eliminates the need for separate brokerage accounts and enables self-custodial management of both crypto and traditional assets in one place.

Access to major U.S. stocks and ETFs

Through the integration, MetaMask users can trade tokenized versions of prominent U.S. companies, including Tesla, Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Amazon. Broad-market ETFs such as QQQ and IWM are also available. Tokenized products tied to commodities, including gold, silver, copper, and rare earth metals allow users to diversify holdings without leaving the wallet.

Since its launch in September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has grown to over $500 million in total value locked (TVL).

Minting and redemption of these tokenized assets operate during standard market hours, while transfers remain available 24/7 across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.

Self-custody meets traditional finance

The integration merges traditional financial products with a self-custodial environment, enabling users to manage tokenized securities alongside cryptocurrencies.

Ian De Bode, President of Ondo Finance, said,

"MetaMask is where millions of users already manage their onchain assets. Integrating Ondo Global Markets introduces a new asset class directly into that familiar experience."

Joe Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Consensys, highlighted the potential for wallets to bridge traditional and onchain finance without compromising user control.

"Bringing tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs directly into MetaMask allows people to move seamlessly between crypto and conventional assets," he said.

Ondo’s push into institutional tokenization

The MetaMask integration was showcased during the 2026 Ondo Summit in New York, which focused on the role of tokenization in traditional markets. Speakers emphasized the ability of tokenized assets to simplify settlement, reduce operational costs, and extend trading accessibility beyond standard market hours.

Ondo outlined plans to expand Global Markets to include thousands of tokenized securities, from individual stocks to mutual funds.

The platform has also emphasized compliance with regulatory standards, positioning itself as a trusted bridge between institutional infrastructure and retail accessibility.

Growing adoption among retail users

Market analysts see the MetaMask partnership as a step toward broader adoption of tokenized assets. Retail users who already rely on self-custodial wallets for crypto and DeFi activity can now access tokenized equities and ETFs without relying on multiple platforms or intermediaries.

Since its launch, Ondo Global Markets has enabled tens of thousands of users to trade over $7 billion in cumulative volume, reflecting growing interest in onchain exposure to traditional markets.
