Ondo Perps launches spot trading for tokenized equities, enabling basis trades and collateral use on a single platform.
DeFi & Yields ·
Ondo Perps has launched spot trading for Ondo Stocks, enabling users to execute basis trades and use tokenized equities as collateral within a single platform. This expansion integrates spot and derivatives functionality, allowing traders to pair cash positions in equity tokens against perpetual contracts.
The addition of spot trading complements Ondo Perps' existing perpetuals offering, creating infrastructure for simultaneous spot and derivatives activity. Basis trades—strategies that exploit price differences between spot and futures markets—require both legs to execute efficiently, and consolidating them on one venue reduces friction and cross-platform settlement risk. Tokenized equities can now serve dual roles as tradable assets and margin collateral.
The full scope of available Ondo Stocks and any fee structure or leverage parameters for the new spot venue remain unspecified. It is also unclear whether spot trading will be available through both centralized and decentralized channels, or if additional integrations are planned.
