Ondo Opens In-Kind Minting and Redemption for Tokenized US Stocks

  • Approved institutions can exchange US stocks and ETFs held at Alpaca for Ondo Stocks tokens
  • Minting and redemption are available on Ethereum and BNB Chain
  • The in-kind route lets institutions use existing shares without selling them
  • The change was announced on Sept. 21
Why it matters: In-kind minting cuts friction and tax costs when moving shares on-chain, intensifying competition in the tokenized US equities market.
