Introducing Ondo Catalyst: Scaling Onchain Capital Markets

We are excited to announce the launch of Ondo Catalyst, a $250 million strategic investing initiative designed to accelerate the development of onchain capital markets.

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.

“The financial system is undergoing a fundamental upgrade. With Ondo Catalyst, we're fueling the transition from closed, permissioned systems to an open, onchain economy. By supporting the infrastructure and applications that unlock real-world utility for tokenized assets, we're helping reshape how capital moves around the world.”  – Nathan Allman, Founder and CEO of Ondo Finance.

“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.” – Paul Veradittakit, Managing Partner, Pantera Capital

Fueling the Future of Tokenized Finance

Ondo focuses on building the core foundations of the tokenized economy—from tokenized assets to the protocols, platforms, and infrastructure that support them. We welcome innovative approaches across the entire value chain and see especially strong opportunities for collaboration in two areas:

• Protocols & Platforms: Core financial applications, DeFi protocols, and developer platforms that integrate with or extend the utility of tokenized RWAs.
• Infrastructure: Foundational technologies enabling tokenized finance, including custody, compliance, identity, and data interoperability.

Join the Ondo Ecosystem

Ondo Catalyst is actively seeking visionary founders and teams advancing the future of capital markets. Projects working on tokenized financial products, DeFi protocols, or financial infrastructure are encouraged to apply.

A New Financial Stack Is Emerging

The next generation of capital markets will be faster, more accessible, and globally interoperable—built on open infrastructure, not legacy rails. Ondo Catalyst is helping shape that future by supporting the builders reimagining how value is stored, exchanged, and scaled across borders.
