Blockchain.com Expands On-Chain Access to U.S. Equities for European Users via DeFi Wallet

New updates have been reported about Blockchain.com.

Blockchain.com has expanded its partnership with Ondo Finance to let eligible users across Europe trade and hold tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs directly within the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet, marking a strategic push into on-chain real-world assets (RWAs) for its core wallet franchise. Building on last year’s rollout of more than 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs to users in Africa and South America, the company is now opening the same regulated, tokenized U.S. securities to customers in 30 European Economic Area states, integrating brokerage-like functionality into its existing wallet interface and bypassing traditional account-opening friction. CEO Peter Smith framed the move as a way to deliver faster, self-custodied access to U.S. markets that traditional banks do not match, reinforcing Blockchain.com’s positioning at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and tokenized traditional assets.

For Blockchain.com, the expansion deepens user engagement with its DeFi wallet and broadens its addressable market beyond crypto trading into tokenized equities and commodities, leveraging Ondo Global Markets’ scale, which has surpassed $556 million in TVL and $8.7 billion in trading volume since its September 2025 launch. European users can now buy, sell, and hold over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs—including tokenized precious metals ETFs such as SLVon (silver) and IAUon (gold)—directly in the familiar Blockchain.com wallet, potentially increasing transaction volumes and fee-based revenue while enhancing product stickiness. The partnership also positions Blockchain.com to benefit from the broader institutional and retail shift toward RWAs on-chain, aligning its strategy with the tokenization trend and strengthening its competitive moat as a multi-asset, self-custody platform serving more than 40 million verified users and 90 million wallets worldwide.
