KuCoin Web3 has integrated Ondo Global Markets into its self-custodial wallet, extending asset access beyond native perpetual trading to include tokenized real-world assets. The update allows users to access more than 260 blockchain-based assets linked to traditional financial instruments, including tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs, directly within the wallet.
The move reflects a broader shift toward incorporating real-world assets into onchain ecosystems. By combining crypto-native assets, perpetuals, and tokenized securities in a single interface, KuCoin Web3 Wallet consolidates access to multiple asset classes while maintaining a self-custodial model. This approach reduces reliance on intermediaries while keeping user control over funds.
Through the integration, users can browse and interact with tokenized versions of companies such as Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft, and Amazon, alongside ETFs tied to gold, silver, and the Nasdaq. Both crypto assets and tokenized traditional assets can be managed from a single interface, removing the need for separate brokerage platforms. The feature is currently supported on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with trading availability generally aligned with U.S. market hours on a 24/5 basis.
Gas Meng, Lead of KuCoin Web3 Wallet Operation, said,
“This integration reflects our broader view of what a wallet should become: not only a tool for custody and connectivity, but a trusted access point to a wider range of on-chain financial opportunities. By bringing tokenized U.S. securities into KuCoin Web3 Wallet, we are giving users a more unified experience where crypto assets and traditional finance-linked assets can be accessed side by side, with self-custody remaining at the center.”
Min Lin, Managing Director, Global Business Development, Ondo Finance added:
“With over 260 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs now accessible directly in KuCoin’s Web3 Wallet, millions of crypto-native users can expand their onchain portfolio to include the same equities they’d find on traditional brokerages. What once required a brokerage account is now available to everyone.”
Ondo Finance provides infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets, offering regulated frameworks for bringing financial instruments onchain. Its Ondo Global Markets platform facilitates the issuance and redemption of tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, allowing users to gain economic exposure through blockchain-based tokens that can be transferred and held via onchain systems.
The integration marks a continuation of KuCoin Web3 Wallet’s expansion of in-wallet trading and asset access, following the introduction of native perpetual trading functionality.
