MetaMask and Ondo Set To Tokenize Securities, ONDO Price?

4 min read

Ondo Finance announced a major integration with MetaMask to bring tokenized US stocks and ETFs directly into the popular self-custodial wallet.

Yet the ONDO token barely moved on the news, continuing a month-long decline that has seen it lose over a third of its value.

MetaMask and Ondo Finance unveiled their integration at the Ondo Global Summit on February 3. The partnership brings more than 200 tokenized US securities to the MetaMask mobile wallet through Ondo Global Markets.

Users in supported jurisdictions can now buy, hold, and trade tokenized versions of major stocks, including Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. The offering also includes ETFs such as SLV for silver exposure, IAU for gold, and QQQ for tech stocks.

The integration works through MetaMask Swaps on the Ethereum mainnet. Users acquire Ondo Global Markets tokens using USDC, with trading available 24 hours a day, five days a week. Token transfers remain possible around the clock.

Ian De Bode, President at Ondo Finance, emphasized the strategic value of reaching MetaMask’s user base. He noted that the integration brings pricing comparable to traditional brokerages like Robinhood into a self-custodial, on-chain environment.

Geographic Restrictions Limit Impact

Despite the headline-grabbing announcement, a closer look reveals significant limitations. The list of excluded jurisdictions reads like a directory of the world’s major financial markets.

Users in the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, China (including Hong Kong), Singapore, Japan, Korea, and Brazil cannot access the service. The exclusions effectively limit availability to less-regulated emerging markets.

This geographic constraint likely explains the muted market reaction. The integration represents a technical milestone, but the addressable market remains small.

ONDO Token Shrugs Off the News

The ONDO token traded at $0.2811 at the time of publication, down 37.3% over the past month. The 24-hour price change showed a modest 0.2% decline, suggesting the market viewed the integration as a non-event for token value.

Looking at the monthly chart, ONDO has been in a steady decline from around $0.45 in early January to its current level near $0.28. The MetaMask news failed to reverse or even pause this downtrend.

Market data shows ONDO with a market cap of $1.37 billion and total value locked exceeding $2 billion. The disconnect between protocol metrics and token performance reflects a broader pattern in the real-world asset sector.

RWA Tokens Struggle Despite Sector Growth

Ondo’s price action fits a well-documented trend across RWA governance tokens. According to CoinGecko’s 2025 RWA Report, most tokens in the sector posted negative returns between January 2024 and April 2025, ranging from -26% to -79%.

The report attributes this disconnect to structural factors. During bull markets, DeFi lending protocols offer alternative yield opportunities without requiring RWA exposure. Meanwhile, capital flows primarily into institutional products like BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and stablecoin infrastructure rather than governance tokens.

Tokenized treasuries grew 544% to $5.6 billion in market cap, with BlackRock’s BUIDL capturing 44% market share. Private credit protocols like Maple Finance dominate, accounting for 67% of active loans. Yet these successes rarely translate into token-holder returns.

The pattern suggests RWA governance tokens function more as speculative instruments than as direct claims on protocol growth.

What Comes Next

The MetaMask integration positions Ondo for growth if regulatory environments evolve. The infrastructure now exists for seamless trading of tokenized securities within a major self-custodial wallet.

Until key markets open up, the practical impact remains constrained. For ONDO holders, the announcement serves as another reminder that protocol milestones and token performance often diverge in the RWA sector.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
