MetaMask Adds On-Chain Access to Tokenized U.S. Stocks, ETFs and Commodities via Ondo

Access is limited to eligible non-U.S. users with value-tracking tokens purchased in USDC on Ethereum.

Overview

  • The integration brings more than 200 tokenized U.S. securities into the MetaMask mobile app, including Apple, Nvidia and Tesla plus ETFs for gold, silver and the Nasdaq.
  • Users can trade 24 hours a day, five days a week in a self-custodial wallet without opening a traditional brokerage account.
  • Tokens mirror market prices but do not grant ownership or shareholder rights and are not registered under U.S. securities laws.
  • Service access is blocked in the U.S., U.K. and Canada, and purchases are made with USDC on the Ethereum mainnet.
  • Consensys CEO Joe Lubin described the approach as a better model for financial transactions, with the tokenized asset market estimated above $22 billion and Ark Invest projecting up to $11 trillion by 2030.
