| BNB Chain | ≈2.8 billion US dollars (mid-January) | Continued growth since the end of November |
DEX trading volume growth :
- The cumulative DEX volume exploded from less than $250 million at the end of November to $1.5 billion in mid-January.

- Daily trading volume peaked at $88 million in mid-December, and then stabilized in the range of $20 million to $40 million.

Technical Implementation and User Experience
Trading Mechanism
Users do not need a traditional brokerage account; all transactions are conducted through an encrypted channel.
- Trading hours : Sunday 8:05 PM ET to Friday 7:59 PM ET (approximately 24/7 trading)
- Token transfer : Supports 24/7 transfers
- Purchase method : Exchange USDC for GM tokens via MetaMask Swaps
Geographical restrictions
The service is unavailable in 30 jurisdictions, including:
- United States, Canada, European Economic Area, United Kingdom
- China, Russia, and other restricted regions
MetaMask enforces geographic restrictions by detecting IP addresses, and restricted users will receive a "transaction route unavailable" error message.
Regulatory compliance progress
Ondo Finance has confidentially filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which, once effective, will provide global investors with SEC-compliant issuer-level disclosures. The platform currently employs several tokenization models, including:
- direct ownership
- Beneficial Ownership
- Native Tokenized Securities
The platform integrates SEC-registered transfer agents, broker-dealers, investment advisors, and alternative trading systems (ATS) to ensure compliance.
Market competition landscape
Ondo is a leader in the tokenized RWA space, but faces competition:
- Kraken : Launches xStocks product through acquisition of Backed Finance
- Coinbase : Developing its own RWA platform, Coinbase Tokenize
- Trust Wallet : Integrated Ondo tokenized assets in September 2025.
The current tokenized RWA market size has exceeded $23 billion, growing by 13% in the past month, of which the tokenized goods market reached $4.56 billion, a monthly growth of 28%.
Market Impact and Prospect Analysis
Immediate impact
This integration provides MetaMask's over 30 million monthly active users with a traditional asset access channel, significantly expanding the wallet's functional boundaries. For Ondo, it provides a huge traffic entry point, which is expected to further drive its TVL and trading volume growth.
Long-term significance
- Regulatory oversight first : Ondo's filing for registration with the SEC demonstrates its commitment to compliance and lays the foundation for long-term development.
- Mature technology : Enables real-time blockchain recording of US stock IPOs (Global Listing service), supporting trading from the first day of trading.
- Ecosystem Expansion : Wallets, exchanges, and blockchains now offer global users the opportunity to participate in on-chain IPOs.
Risk factors
- Regulatory uncertainty : Securities regulations in the U.S. and other regions are still evolving.
- Geographic restrictions : Users in major markets (US, Europe, UK) cannot access the service.
- Competition intensifies : Major exchanges and wallets enter the tokenized RWA field
Investment Perspective
ONDO token performance : Currently trading at $0.28, up 1.3% on the day, but down approximately 80% over the past year. While the integration news is positive, the token's performance needs to be observed in terms of actual conversion from user adoption and trading volume growth.
Valuation reference : Ondo's $2.7 billion TVL makes it a leader in the tokenized RWA space, but the following should be noted:
- Can user growth match MetaMask's traffic potential?
- Can regulatory progress pave the way for broader market access?
- How competitors respond to this market development
in conclusion
The integration of MetaMask and Ondo represents a significant step in the convergence of DeFi and traditional finance, greatly lowering the barrier to entry for global users to access the US capital markets by introducing tokenized stocks and ETFs into mainstream wallets. While geographical limitations and regulatory challenges exist, this collaboration demonstrates how blockchain technology can restructure the infrastructure of traditional financial services.
Key points to watch : Going forward, attention should be paid to desktop integration (expected by the end of February), SEC registration progress, and actual user adoption data. If successful, this could be a significant catalyst driving the tokenized RWA market towards a multi-trillion dollar scale.
