1/ We’re excited to announce the launch of the quarter-billion dollar Ondo Catalyst initiative, one of the largest dedicated commitments to support the tokenization of real-world assets with support from @PanteraCapital.

2/ Catalyst is supported by Pantera Capital, whose deep expertise and strategic capital will support the growth of onchain capital markets. Pantera will independently evaluate and invest in projects, while Catalyst will back projects building across the Ondo ecosystem, with a focus on next-generation financial applications that drive utility, scalability, and adoption of tokenized assets.

3/ Nathan Allman (@nathanlallman), CEO of Ondo Finance: “This is how we scale Wall Street 2.0—supporting forward-thinking teams and use cases, we're accelerating the adoption of tokenized financial products and cultivating a diverse ecosystem that expands access, enhances utility, and fosters onchain innovation. We're excited to collaborate with the next generation of teams building the future of finance.” Paul Veradittakit (@veradittakit), Managing Partner, Pantera Capital: “Pantera has backed winners in every crypto cycle, and we’re proud to support Ondo in the important work they’re doing. Tokenization of traditional financial assets is the largest shift in infrastructure since electronic trading, and Ondo is at the forefront of it with the right traction and partners. This initiative will prove critical for a modern, blockchain-based financial era.”

4/ This builds on the broader tokenization opportunity. Tokenization will modernize global finance by enabling 24/7, programmable, and more efficient access to traditional financial products and services. Ondo Finance is leading this shift with purpose-built infrastructure including the upcoming mainnet launch of Ondo Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain optimized for compliant, institutional-grade RWA activity.
