The line between crypto-native assets and traditional financial markets continues to fade. A new integration between MetaMask and Ondo Finance marks a meaningful step in that direction, enabling users to access tokenized US stocks, ETFs, and commodities directly from a self-custodial wallet. With this launch, eligible MetaMask users can gain exposure to traditional market instruments without opening a brokerage account or leaving the blockchain environment.
Expanding MetaMask Beyond Crypto Assets
MetaMask, the widely used self-custodial wallet developed by Consensys, has traditionally served as a gateway to cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications. Through its integration with Ondo Global Markets, the wallet now supports more than 200 tokenized representations of US-listed stocks, exchange-traded funds, and commodities. These include major companies such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, as well as ETFs tracking gold, silver, and the Nasdaq 100.
Access is currently available to eligible mobile users in supported non-US jurisdictions. All assets can be bought, held, and traded directly within the MetaMask app, allowing users to manage tokenized securities alongside their crypto holdings in a single interface.
Tokenization Moves Closer to the Mainstream
The launch reflects the accelerating adoption of real-world asset tokenization. Globally, tokenized RWAs have surpassed a total market value of $22 billion, signaling that blockchain-based representations of traditional assets are moving beyond early experimentation. Integrating these products into a mainstream wallet like MetaMask significantly lowers the barrier to entry for users seeking diversified on-chain exposure.
According to Consensys founder and CEO Joe Lubin, access to US financial markets still relies heavily on outdated infrastructure, fragmented platforms, and restricted trading windows. Bringing tokenized securities directly into a self-custodial wallet demonstrates how a more streamlined, user-controlled financial model can function entirely on crypto rails.
How Ondo Global Markets Tokens Work in MetaMask
Users can acquire Ondo Global Markets (GM) tokens through MetaMask Swaps by using USDC on the Ethereum mainnet. These blockchain-based tokens are designed to track the market value of their underlying securities, subject to applicable terms and fees. Trading is available 24 hours a day, five days a week, from Sunday evening through Friday evening, while token transfers remain active 24/7.
Key Features at Launch
At launch, the integration supports over 200 tokenized US stocks and ETFs on Ethereum. Users benefit from unified portfolio management, continuous token transfers, and extended trading hours compared to traditional markets. Availability is limited to specific jurisdictions, with several regions excluded due to regulatory considerations.
Overall, this development positions MetaMask as more than a crypto wallet, signaling its evolution into a broader self-custodial financial platform that bridges traditional markets and on-chain finance.
