In its January 2026 <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4724311-1&amp;h=4271190010&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sec.gov%2Fnewsroom%2Fspeeches-statements%2Fcorp-fin-statement-tokenized-securities-012826-statement-tokenized-securities&amp;a=statement" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">statement</a> on tokenized securities, the SEC described a custodial model in which a third party holds an issuer&#39;s securities and issues crypto assets representing a holder&#39;s entitlement to the underlying security. Ondo&#39;s launch of tokenized BlackRock iShares Core S&amp;P 500 (IVV) ETF and Micron (MU) stock are the first production deployments of that model in the U.S.Under this model, which closely follows the SEC&#39;s third-party custodial model, the underlying shares never leave the traditional U.S. regulated custody chain. Ondo&#39;s registered transfer agent mints corresponding tokens, backed 1:1 by those shares, which are issued on the Ethereum blockchain and held by regulated custodians. Each token holder will receive the same shareholder rights and protections as shareholders holding through U.S. brokerage accounts receive, including issuer communications and onchain proxy voting through Broadridge&#39;s ProxyVote.com platform.<a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4724311-1&amp;h=3043627904&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.broadridge.com%2F&amp;a=%C2%A0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> </a> Transfer restrictions are enforced by the participating broker-dealer, transfer agent, and custodian in accordance with existing regulatory requirements and practices, maintaining full regulatory compliance.&#34;Tokenized Securities in the U.S. are too often framed as a binary choice between competing models and tokenization providers. This is a false premise. Ondo has built the regulatory, product, and service infrastructure to support all major models within the United States. Today&#39;s milestone shows we can tokenize securities in ways that meet both market and regulatory requirements, for U.S. and global investors and provides a strong foundation for our expanding access to onchain investments for more U.S. investors,&#34; said Ian De Bode, CEO of Ondo Finance.Today&#39;s announcement marks a major step forward for tokenized securities in the United States. Until now, tokenized securities have largely operated outside the U.S. or have required issuer sponsorship on an issuer-by-issuer basis. This model brings them inside the U.S. regulatory perimeter, with the underlying securities held in the same infrastructure that custodies U.S. securities today. This new structure shows how the benefits of tokenization can be attained while preserving the safeguards, recordkeeping, and market infrastructure that underpin U.S. capital markets.&#34;Tokenization will only scale when it delivers both innovation and investor confidence,&#34; said Doug DeSchutter, President of Broadridge&#39;s Investor Communication Solutions business. &#34;By enabling proxy voting, issuer communications, and regulatory disclosures for Ondo&#39;s token holders, we&#39;re living up to our promise to empower investors and issuers by providing them with the full range of trusted governance capabilities for tokenized securities regardless of how assets are structured.&#34;The launch is another milestone in realizing Broadridge&#39;s strategy to enable the adoption of tokenized securities by ensuring that they are supported by governance capabilities with the highest standards for auditability, accountability, and investor protection and comply with U.S. regulatory guidelines. Broadridge supports all models of tokenized securities, including issuer-listed models, synthetic tokenized securities issued outside the United States, and now, third-party tokenized shares within the U.S. by ensuring that investors get the critical communications they need to exercise their voting rights and stay informed about their investments.About Ondo FinanceOndo Finance is a blockchain-based technology company focused on tokenizing real-world assets and bringing institutional-quality financial products onchain.
