This brings together the infrastructure for the programmable economy with the fastest-growing RWA perps platform. Provide USDC from Arbitrum and Ethereum Traders can now fund their trades with USDC from both Arbitrum and Ethereum, then go long or short across the world's most-traded markets from a single platform. Users can trade equity perps with up to 20x leverage on names such as Nvidia, Tesla, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, alongside commodities such as Gold, Silver, and Oil, and indices including US 500 and US 100. Every one of these markets trades permissionlessly around the clock, with no expiry and no closing bell. Ondo Perps has already surpassed $5 billion in cumulative volume and $60 million in open interest, with traders drawn to the deep market liquidity for equity perps, the tight spreads and minimal slippage, and the CEX-equivalent execution speeds that make it possible to deploy capital in size and manage risk with confidence. Use Tokenized Stock as Collateral Tokenized Stock Collateral is also live for all users, meaning Ondo Stocks can be deployed as productive collateral backing perps positions, starting with SPYon and QQQon. Rather than parking capital in stablecoins or selling an asset to gain exposure elsewhere, traders can put their tokenized equities to work while hedging and taking new positions seamlessly on the same platform. This is the productive capital thesis for equity perps in action, which aims to deliver the kind of capital efficiency that brings liquidity for equity perps on par with traditional derivatives markets. Traders can deploy capital in size, run sophisticated strategies, and manage risk across an entire portfolio without the constraints of a traditional venue, meaning no idle collateral and no fragmented positions, just institutional-grade execution on assets that maintain exposure while backing your open positions. Ondo Stocks pioneered tokenized equities, and Ondo Perps now transforms how those assets are traded and margined. More Collateral and Chains to Come This is just the start. More markets, more leverage, more collateral types, and more chains are all on the way, expanding where and how traders can source liquidity and put their capital to work. Each new chain lowers the barrier to entry, each new collateral type unlocks more productive capital, and each new market expands where traders can gain exposure, delivering a best-in-class venue for equity perps.
