Ondo Finance today launched Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, which the issuer calls a new onchain product category: curated portfolios delivered as single onchain transferable tokens. The three portfolio tokens launched today are based on strategies powered by BlackRock and developed by BlackRock for Ondo — BLKHIon (Ondo High Income Powered by BlackRock), BLKDIGon (Ondo Diversified Growth Powered by BlackRock), and BLKGRWon (Ondo High Growth Powered by BlackRock) — marking the first time eligible onchain investors can access such strategies through a single token.
Each token is issued by Ondo Global Markets and tokenized by Ondo Finance; BlackRock developed the strategies but is not the manager of the tokens. Holdings, weights, and every rebalance are visible onchain, rebalancing executes automatically at the smart-contract level, and the tokens transfer peer-to-peer across wallets, exchanges, and DeFi protocols. Distribution is limited to eligible non-US investors in permitted jurisdictions through the wallets, exchanges, and DeFi apps they already use. No AUM target or dollar commitment was disclosed.
The launch lands seven days after the SEC's five-year 'innovation exemption' opened a pathway for tokenized US equities to trade on public blockchains (Sept 17), and in the same week the ECB's Pontes went live for central-bank-money settlement of tokenized securities and Canada's Big Six banks announced tokenized-deposit testing. BlackRock's own tokenization history runs from BUIDL, the tokenized money-market fund (2024), to today's step: entire multi-asset portfolio strategies as transferable onchain instruments. Ondo separately introduced 24/7 minting and redemption for its tokenized stocks. Lisa O'Connor, Global Head of Model Portfolio Solutions at BlackRock, framed it as 'established portfolio construction approaches... delivered through new channels and technologies.'
Why it matters: model portfolios are the distribution engine of modern wealth management — pre-built strategy wrappers that advisors park trillions in. Putting BlackRock-built versions onchain, programmable and composable in DeFi, extends tokenization from single assets (a fund, a stock) to the full strategy layer of asset management. That is a structural step beyond anything in the 2024-25 tokenization wave.
Securitize (NYSE: SECZ, ~$5B AUM) launched Securitize Stocks today at 13:00 UTC: 12 tokenized US mega-caps — including Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Tesla, Circle, Strategy and Palantir — each backed 1:1 by a real share, settling in USDC on Solana with Jump Trading running the proprietary AMM and clearing firm RQD* handling custody and settlement. It is the first product live under the SEC's five-year Innovation Exemption for onchain stock trading, granted September 17.
Anthropic's much-anticipated IPO prospectus — reported in detail by Reuters and the Financial Times — pursues a $2 trillion valuation while disclosing a $42 billion net loss for 2025 and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and infrastructure in the coming year. Roughly 80 of the filing's 261 main-body pages cover risk factors, including that advanced AI could pose 'catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,' versus 48 pages describing the business. Nvidia separately disclosed that Anthropic has more than $180 billion in contracted compute commitments — 2.5GW of Nvidia infrastructure shipping through 2028.
Nvidia's board authorized an additional $150 billion in share repurchases on Monday — which the company says is the largest single authorization increase ever announced by a public company — lifting total remaining buyback capacity to $235 billion, expected to be spent through fiscal 2028. NVDA rose 2.8% to a $5.42 trillion market cap as Jensen Huang called AI 'a once-in-a-generation platform shift.'
