Bringing Traditional Securities to Self-Custodial Wallets
MetaMask users can now seamlessly access over 200 tokenized US stocks and ETFs directly through their self-custodial wallets. This groundbreaking feature allows eligible users to trade securities without requiring traditional brokerage accounts, offering unprecedented convenience and accessibility. However, this service remains unavailable in major regions such as the US, UK, Canada, China, and jurisdictions within the European Economic Area.
How It Works: 24/5 Trading and Portfolio Management
The integration operates through MetaMask Swaps, where users can utilize the Ethereum mainnet and USDC to acquire Ondo Global Markets tokens. Trading hours extend 24/5, starting Sunday at 8:05 PM ET through Friday at 7:59 PM ET, with token transfers available continuously.
Why This Matters: A Significant Shift in Blockchain Financial Services
MetaMask’s collaboration with Ondo Finance represents a leap forward in blockchain-based financial management. Through this initiative, users can trade tokenized versions of popular US stocks, such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. Commodity-tracking ETFs, including SLV (silver) and IAU (gold), are also available.
As tokenized real-world assets surpass $22 billion globally, this innovation positions MetaMask users at the forefront of decentralized finance. According to Joe Lubin, CEO of Consensys, “This partnership demonstrates an improved financial model that bridges crypto and traditional assets without relying on intermediaries.”
MetaMask and Ondo: Enhancing Portfolio Management
With this new functionality, users can manage stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies within a single multichain wallet. This eliminates the need for multiple accounts or apps, making investing simpler and more efficient.
Upgrade Your Trading Experience
For those who want to optimize their trading access, platforms like MetaMask offer a seamless interface for managing diversified portfolios. Whether you’re holding the latest cryptocurrency or investing in tokenized Tesla shares, MetaMask ensures you’re equipped with the tools to stay ahead in the financial markets.
Regional Accessibility and Restrictions
Though this service brings immense benefits, it’s worth noting the jurisdictional limitations. Restricted regions include Afghanistan, Algeria, Belarus, the UK, Canada, and China, among others. Users in eligible areas have access today, ensuring a secure and sophisticated trading experience directly through the MetaMask mobile app.
The Ondo Summit held in Fort Worth, Texas, announced this innovative feature, marking February 3, 2026, as a pivotal date in blockchain and financial services. With continuous updates and developments, MetaMask users can expect even more versatile investment opportunities in the future.
