1. Ondo Executive Says Tokenization Is Following The Same Path As Early ETFs
Market projection: Ondo Stocks reached $1 billion in TVL within eight months, faster than stablecoins (3 years) and tokenized Treasuries (18 months), as Ondo's perpetuals platform hits $9 billion in notional volume seven weeks after launch.
🔎 Insider Insight: The accelerating adoption curve across successive tokenized asset categories suggests each wave is benefiting from infrastructure and regulatory groundwork laid by the previous one. With Clarity Act passage potentially opening U.S. access, Ondo's ETF-veteran leadership is well-positioned to lead the next mainstream institutional adoption phase.

🔎 Insider Insight: Wildberries and Ozon together reach hundreds of millions of transactions annually, making their September 1 adoption the most significant real-world distribution moment for Russia's digital ruble since development began.
