Glider and Ondo Finance jointly unveiled a platform that allows retail investors to build and automatically manage portfolios of tokenized stocks traded on U.S. exchanges without the need for brokerage accounts.
Ondo Finance, a leading provider of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization solutions, announced that users of Glider, a DeFi platform for automated crypto portfolio management, will be able to create their own investment portfolios using tokenized stocks from Ondo Global Markets.
The new service enables users to create personalized baskets of stocks linked to real securities, with automatic rebalancing and trade execution without user involvement. The initiative removes the need to interact with wallets, pay gas fees, or manually manage transactions.
Unlike traditional ETFs, where assets are bundled into fixed products, the Glider and Ondo solution allows users to build portfolios with individually defined asset allocations and direct ownership of the underlying securities. According to Glider CEO Brian Huang, the initiative addresses a key liquidity issue typical of tokenized ETFs, as investors gain access to the liquidity of the underlying stocks themselves.
At the initial stage, the joint solution will focus on tokenized stocks traded in the U.S. However, the service isn’t yet available to U.S. users due to regulatory restrictions. In the future, the platform is expected to support additional asset classes, including commodities. The companies are also developing features that will allow users to generate yield through position lending.
The development of tokenized asset solutions comes amid rapid growth in the RWA market, which surpassed $36 billion in 2025. Analysts predict it could grow to $16–30 trillion by 2030. More details on the progress of the tokenized asset market can be found in CP Media’s analytical report.
