Notably, by integrating Ondo’s OUSG into Mastercard’s MTN, businesses gain seamless access to the advantages of tokenized US Treasuries, aligning with the RWA sector’s growing institutional adoption, now exceeding $15 billion (excluding stablecoins), according to K33 Research.
In a move to integrate tokenized RWAs, Ondo Finance and Mastercard announced a partnership Wednesday, with Ondo joining Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network as its first provider.
“The MTN enables banks to offer digital financial services to integrated businesses, and Ondo’s Short Term US Treasuries Fund (OUSG) will be the first tokenized RWA solution providing businesses onchain with access to daily yield and flexible cash management,” says Ondo on its official social media platform X.
Additionally, “With the addition of OUSG, MTN is breaking new ground by connecting a private payments network with tokenized assets on public blockchains for the very first time.” says Ondo in its blog post.
By seamlessly integrating traditional finance with blockchain technology, it provides businesses with an easy pathway to incorporate tokenized treasuries.
Having that the tokenization of RWAs will become a major hit in the blockchain sector, K33 has been tracking its progress. As per a report released on Wednesday by K433 brought to light that the institutional adaptation of the RWAs sector is growing as pioneers in the cross section of crypto and TradiFi seek to improve efficiency accessibility and liquidity through RWA innovation.
As regulatory frameworks clarify asset tokenization, and BlackRock leads the way, RWA growth is accelerating, with the market now over $15 billion (excluding stablecoins) and US Treasuries like Ondo valued at $4 billion.
It is also worth mentioning that major financial institutions like JPMorgan and others are actively exploring and implementing RWA tokenization. This institutional involvement is expected to accelerate adoption and bring greater legitimacy to the sector.
