July 4, 2025 – Ondo Finance, a leading blockchain technology company focused on bringing financial markets onchain, today announced its definitive agreement to acquire Oasis Pro, including its SEC-registered broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and Transfer Agent (TA). This strategic acquisition is poised to lay the foundational groundwork for Ondo Finance to develop a robust and regulated tokenized securities ecosystem for blockchain-based financial products accessible to U.S. investors.
The acquisition significantly expands Ondo’s existing best-in-class tokenization products and technology by integrating the most comprehensive suite of digital asset licenses available in the United States. This move underscores Ondo’s commitment to accelerating the transition to an open economy by building the platforms, assets, and infrastructure necessary to bring financial markets onchain.
"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. We're pleased to welcome Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro, to our team. Pat brings deep experience in the digital asset space, particularly around building regulatory-compliant platforms. His leadership and perspective will be a valuable asset as we continue to grow and adapt in this evolving landscape."
Oasis Pro, founded in 2019, has established itself as a pioneer in compliant digital asset markets. Through its subsidiaries, it operates an SEC-registered and FINRA member broker-dealer and an Alternative Trading System (ATS), OATSPRO, alongside an SEC-registered Transfer Agent. Oasis Pro was notably one of the first U.S.-regulated ATSs authorized to support the settlement of digital securities in both fiat and stablecoins like USDC and DAI. As a FINRA member since 2020, Oasis Pro has actively contributed to shaping the evolving regulatory framework for tokenized assets in the U.S., including acting as a contributing member of FINRA’s Crypto Working Group.
"We are proud to join forces with Ondo Finance, a true innovator in tokenized finance," said Pat LaVecchia, CEO of Oasis Pro. "This acquisition combines our brokerage platform and licenses with Ondo’s existing institutional-grade infrastructure and products, creating a comprehensive foundation for a regulated tokenized securities ecosystem."
The tokenization of real-world assets, particularly stocks, represents a significant market opportunity, with analysts predicting it to exceed $18 trillion by 2033. Tokenized stocks represent digital assets backed 1:1 by publicly traded shares and settled on blockchain rails. With over $1.4 billion in assets under management across its existing tokenized products, Ondo already supports a global ecosystem of custodians, public chain infrastructure, and onchain liquidity protocols for tokenized real-world assets. Ondo Finance plans to launch access to tokenized stocks for non-U.S. investors in the coming months through its Global Markets platform in partnership with leading wallets, exchanges, and protocols.
Oasis Pro has been at the forefront of enabling the digitization and trading of alternative investments. Its platform provides streamlined onboarding for accredited and institutional investors, offering a liquidity platform for both private and public market digital securities. The company has facilitated the tokenization of diverse assets, including fine wine through the Wine Capital Fund and diamonds with Diamond Standard, leveraging blockchain networks like Avalanche. Recent collaborations include joining the Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC), partnering with Ibanera to integrate digital securities solutions, and participating in the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian alongside Onyx by J.P. Morgan and Apollo.
This acquisition, backed by leading investors such as Mirae Asset Ventures, will enable Ondo Finance to further bridge traditional finance with the burgeoning Web3 ecosystem, offering a holistic multi-asset trading platform solution for both public and private tokenized securities.
