MetaMask has launched an integration with Ondo Global Markets, allowing its users to invest in tokenized US stocks, ETFs, and commodities. Trading, it was announced, will be done through MetaMask Mobile.
The integration was launched on MetaMask Mobile, and Ondo enabled purchases using USDC on the Ethereum mainnet, with trading aligned to typical US stock trading hours on a 24/5 basis. These operational details and user restrictions were described in MetaMask support materials and in Ondo’s documentation published in late January 2026.
The available universe included blue chips and major ETFs. Examples listed by Ondo and MetaMask included NVDA, AAPL, META, MSFT, AMZN, SPY, QQQ, SLV, and IAU. Each token is traded as a total return tracker: price movements, income distributions (dividends are automatically reinvested), and corporate actions are reflected in the token’s economy, while the underlying securities remain in custody with US-registered intermediaries.
The onboarding path was limited: purchases required USDC on the Ethereum mainnet and were available only through the MetaMask mobile app. The browser extension did not support the offering at launch. Ondo had previously expanded the product through Ethereum and BNB Chain in late 2025 and to Solana in January 2026, reaching the current count of over 200 tokenized assets.
The context of the alliance between MetaMask and Ondo
The integration expanded on-chain access to institutionally backed tokenized assets, but it came with practical constraints that matter for professional traders and asset managers. Ondo’s products were available only to non-U.S. investors and subject to a list of restricted jurisdictions, including the United States, Canada and Russia.
MetaMask’s documentation further clarified that token holders gain economic exposure, not shareholder rights such as voting or access to statutory disclosures.
From an operational standpoint, trading typically took place on a 24/5 schedule, running from Sunday evening to early Friday morning (ET), with liquidity and pricing depth potentially thinning outside U.S. market hours. At launch, execution was limited to USDC-to-Ondo token swaps on Ethereum, with a minimum trade size of $5, setting a defined but narrow execution framework. On the regulatory side, the tokens were not registered under the U.S. Securities Act, a key consideration for institutional compliance teams.
Looking ahead, market participants will watch whether tokenized flows emerge as a meaningful ETF-style demand channel or remain a niche solution for geographically restricted investors. In the meantime, risk managers should closely track on-chain liquidity metrics and price discovery around U.S. market opens and closes, while compliance teams must verify client eligibility against Ondo’s jurisdictional restrictions before enabling access.
