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.
