MetaMask Brings Tokenized US Stocks and ETFs On-Chain
MetaMask is expanding beyond crypto by enabling eligible users to access tokenized US stocks, ETFs, and commodities directly from its self-custodial wallet.
MetaMask, the self-custodial wallet developed by Consensys, is taking a significant step toward bridging traditional finance and on-chain markets. Starting February 3, eligible non-US users will be able to access more than 200 tokenized US securities through a new integration with Ondo Finance‘s Ondo Global Markets, according to the official statement.
The rollout introduces tokenized exposure to major US equities such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, alongside popular exchange-traded funds and commodity-linked products including SLV (silver), IAU (gold), and QQQ. The assets will be available directly inside MetaMask without requiring users to open a traditional brokerage account or leave the crypto ecosystem.
Bringing Wall Street Assets On-Chain
The integration was unveiled at the Ondo Global Summit and represents one of the first instances of native access to tokenized US stocks and ETFs within a major self-custodial wallet. The move reflects the broader maturation of tokenization, which is increasingly shifting from experimental pilots toward real-world financial distribution.
Rather than relying on off-chain custodians or centralized platforms, users can access these assets entirely on crypto rails. Tokenized securities are offered via MetaMask Swaps, allowing users to exchange Circle’s USDC on Ethereum mainnet for Ondo Global Markets (GM) tokens, which are designed to track the market value of their underlying securities.
How the Integration Works
At launch, MetaMask users in supported jurisdictions can interact with Ondo’s tokenized assets through a familiar wallet interface. According to the companies, the experience is designed to mirror traditional equity access while preserving the core benefits of self-custody.
Key features available at launch include:
- 200+ tokenized US stocks and ETFs on Ethereum mainnet
- 24/5 trading access via MetaMask Swaps
- 24/7 transfers, enabling users to send and receive Ondo tokens at any time
- Unified portfolio management, holding tokenized securities alongside crypto assets in a single multichain account
The integration is currently live on MetaMask Mobile for eligible users. Ondo’s tokenized securities are generally intended for non-US investors and remain subject to jurisdictional and regulatory restrictions.
Notably, the offering will be unavailable in roughly 30 countries and regions, including Canada, the European Economic Area, and the United Kingdom.
Industry Leaders Weigh In
Ondo executives positioned the launch as a turning point for how global investors interact with US markets.
“MetaMask is where millions of users already manage their on-chain assets, and integrating Ondo Global Markets introduces an entirely new asset class into that familiar wallet experience,” said Ian De Bode, President at Ondo Finance. “By integrating Ondo Global Markets, MetaMask can offer its users access to tokenized US stocks and ETFs with pricing that reflects traditional brokerage markets, bringing the economics of platforms like Robinhood into a self-custodial, onchain wallet.”
From Consensys’ perspective, the partnership addresses long-standing inefficiencies in legacy financial infrastructure.
“Access to US markets still runs through legacy rails. Brokerage accounts, fragmented apps, and rigid trading windows haven’t meaningfully evolved,” said Joe Lubin, Founder and CEO of Consensys and Co-Founder of Ethereum. “Bringing Ondo’s tokenized US stocks and ETFs directly into MetaMask shows what a better model looks like.”
Lubin emphasized a future where users can move seamlessly between crypto and traditional assets without surrendering custody or relying on intermediaries.
Tokenized RWAs Move Toward the Mainstream
The timing of the launch aligns with rapid growth in the real-world asset (RWA) sector. Tokenized RWAs have surpassed $22 billion globally, signaling rising institutional and retail interest in on-chain representations of traditional financial instruments.
MetaMask’s expansion into RWAs also fits a broader industry trend toward the so-called “everything app” model, where wallets and exchanges serve as unified financial hubs.
Other major players are moving in a similar direction:
- Coinbase announced plans for its own RWA platform, Coinbase Tokenize.
- Trust Wallet, backed by Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, integrated Ondo tokenized assets in September 2025.
Both companies have also expanded into prediction markets, with Coinbase integrating Kalshi and Trust Wallet partnering with Myriad for its initial rollout.
MetaMask itself has been steadily broadening its scope. In October 2025, it partnered with Polymarket to offer prediction markets directly within its mobile app. Two months later, the wallet rolled out native Bitcoin support, signaling a strategic shift toward becoming a fully multichain platform.
A Broader Vision for MetaMask
Taken together, these developments suggest that MetaMask is positioning itself as more than just an Ethereum wallet. With tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, prediction markets, and native Bitcoin support, the platform is evolving into a comprehensive gateway for both crypto-native and traditional financial assets.
Planned desktop integrations and browser extension updates expected by the end of February further reinforce this direction. As tokenization continues to scale, MetaMask’s integration with Ondo Global Markets offers a glimpse into a future where self-custodial wallets function as global financial dashboards, collapsing the divide between Wall Street and on-chain finance while keeping user control at the center.
