Ondo Perps has officially launched, becoming the first perpetual contract platform to support tokenized stocks as margin for derivatives.
ChainCatcher reports that Ondo Perps has officially launched and is now open to non-US investors. As the first perpetual contract platform to support tokenized stocks and stablecoins as collateral for derivatives, Ondo Perps aims to drive the on-chain derivatives market into a new era of capital efficiency. Its core advantages include: tokenized stocks as collateral, eliminating the need to maintain separate cash reserves across multiple platforms; market depth comparable to traditional finance, achieving extremely low spreads and slippage; and execution speed comparable to top-tier crypto CEXs, with real-time processing of order routing, margin updates, and settlement, while ensuring decentralization. Currently, Ondo Perps supports assets including stocks, indices, and commodities such as SPCX, MU, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, gold, and crude oil, offering leverage up to 20x and providing 24/7 trading for global investors. Ondo Perps is built on Ondo Finance technology, with Ondo Global Markets providing the underlying tokenized stock infrastructure, and a total TVL exceeding $1 billion. Ondo Perps, as the next layer of the ecosystem, enables tokenized assets to not only remain in the holding stage, but also to function as collateral on a unified trading platform.
DeFi researcher Ignas: He is bullish on ETH if the Ethereum Foundation delivers the "simplified roadmap" on time; however, delays coupled with a bear market could be bearish.
According to Foresight News , DeFi researcher Ignas commented on Vitalik Buterin's previously released "simplified Ethereum" roadmap, stating, "If the Ethereum Foundation can deliver on time, I'm bullish on ETH. The roadmap is very attractive because it addresses most of the key demands raised by the community, including L1 reclaiming execution control from L2, privacy protection, quantum resistance, and second-level finality, but the issue of tokenomics remains unaddressed." It also pointed out that the most anticipated part of the roadmap will be implemented after 2028, with the final goal set for 2029. If the Ethereum Foundation (EF) delivery schedule is delayed and the bear market continues, it may negatively impact the price of ETH, as competing projects such as Tempo and Canton are posing a challenge to Ethereum in the areas of real-world assets (RWA) and institutional adoption.
