The tokenization stack is forming. Ondo's Ian De Bode on why TradFi and Ondo are complementary, not competing: “TradFi is building 24/7 market infrastructure. Ondo is building the DeFi integrations and distribution. The two are very complementary.” The more TradFi builds, the more useful it becomes for DeFi: “Moving... assets toward 24/7 trading and liquidity is tremendously useful once you wrap that asset for DeFi, since DeFi operates 24/7.” The tokenization sector is maturing. Different builders are solving different parts of the same problem, each making the others more valuable.show more

@iandebode Exactly. Tokenisation is not one product. It is a stack.

@iandebode Built. Different. Do NOT sleep on this one… 💰 🙌🏻

This maps cleanly onto the last month of announcements. DTCC integration gave Ondo the settlement plumbing, SBI gave it distribution in Japan, and this framing explains the strategy behind both: let TradFi spend billions building 24/7 infrastructure, then be the layer that makes those assets usable onchain. The distribution and integration layer is where the margin lives, the same way it did for every platform business before it. TradFi is doing the heavy construction and may end up the utility, not the platform.

@iandebode When will $ONDO initiate a buy-back mechanism similar to $HYPE, until then Token Holder = Bag Holder

@iandebode the stack is really shaping up real yields coming through real infra, this is how it should work

@iandebode DeFi extends what TradFi builds

@iandebode Building the DeFi distribution TradFi actually needs.

@iandebode Tokenization keeps advancing as TradFi and DeFi move closer together. It's also why I've been paying more attention to #AlphaX lately.

@iandebode The tokenization stack is clarifying: TradFi builds the 24/7 market infrastructure while Ondo focuses on DeFi integrations and distribution. The two reinforce each other continuous trading rails become far more useful once assets can move freely into onchain liquidity.

@iandebode

@iandebode OK fine. great. but what about onchain IPO for new issuance of the Tradfi world? it will solve the main remaining problem, the liquidation and redemption process when it comes to tokenised RWA like private credit, convertibles bonds, ADRs & GDRs, funds...

@iandebode Every builder in the tokenization sector has a role to play. Ours is making tokenized assets productive, not passive.

@iandebode TradFi做24/7基础设施确实帮了DeFi大忙，但流动性割裂会不会让套利更复杂，我去年在链上做RWA就看到结算时间差的问题

@iandebode RWAs continue to be one of the strongest narratives because they connect blockchain with tangible value. Zeconomy's approach fits well into that broader trend.

@iandebode 24/7 distribution still has to stay synchronized with the underlying asset’s pricing, redemption and investor eligibility rules.

@iandebode rwa meta is inevitable and ondo is literally frontrunning the entire tradfi liquidity wave, wrapping institutional bags for degen defi summer is the ultimate masterclass
