Ondo Finance Acquires Oasis Pro, Gains Key US Regulatory Licenses

Ondo Finance Acquires Oasis Pro Markets, Securing Three Key U.S. Regulatory Licenses for Tokenized Finance Expansion

  • Ondo Finance acquires Oasis Pro Markets to expand its regulatory access for tokenized finance in the U.S.
  • The acquisition gives Ondo three major U.S. regulatory licenses: broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and Transfer Agent registration.
  • Oasis Pro operates as a FINRA member and supports settlement of digital securities using both U.S. dollars and stablecoins.
  • Ondo’s products have previously targeted offshore and accredited investors to stay within regulatory requirements.
  • This deal puts Ondo in a small group of U.S. digital securities firms with all three key regulatory licenses.

Ondo Finance, a blockchain company managing about $1.4 billion in assets, has acquired Oasis Pro Markets, a move that grants the firm access to broad U.S. regulatory licenses for its tokenization activities. This purchase brings Ondo an SEC-registered broker-dealer license, an Alternative Trading System (ATS) license, and registration as a Transfer Agent.

With these new licenses, Ondo Finance will now be able to expand its product offerings in the United States, according to the company. Before the acquisition, Ondo Finance had focused primarily on offshore investors with its yield token, USDY, which gives holders exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury securities. Its onshore offering, the OUSG token backed by tokenized money market funds, was only available to accredited investors under a Regulation D exemption.

Oasis Pro Markets was founded in 2019 and holds membership with FINRA, the U.S. regulator for broker-dealers. The company was among the first U.S.-regulated ATS platforms that can settle digital securities trades using both U.S. dollars and stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies tied to real-world assets like the dollar.

“This unlocks the next major chapter of tokenized finance,” said Nathan Allman, CEO of Ondo Finance. “This acquisition will empower us to realize our vision of building a robust and accessible tokenized financial system, backed by the strongest regulatory foundations.” Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro, will also join the Ondo Finance team as part of the deal.

While several startups in the sector have individual broker-dealer or ATS licenses, only a few, such as Securitize—best known for partnering with BlackRock on an on-chain money market fund—and Figure Technologies, have all three U.S. regulatory credentials.

This development signals a step forward for Ondo Finance as it seeks to build a regulated, tokenized financial system in the United States.
