Tokenization specialist Ondo Finance's native cryptocurrency was on the move on Monday as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has ended investigation into the platform as U.S. regulators are clearing the path for tokenized real-world assets (RWA).
The agency closed a "confidential" investigation that was started in 2024, during the previous SEC leadership helmed by Gary Gensler, without any charges, the Ondo team said in an X post.

The agency's investigation centered on whether Ondo’s tokenization of certain real-world assets complied with federal securities laws as well as whether the ONDO token was a security, an Ondo spokesperson told CoinDesk.
"With the investigation now closed, the overhang on Ondo and the tokenization of securities is over and signals openness and a cleared way ahead for the tokenization of securities," the spokesperson added.
The ONDO$0.4831 token popped higher on the news, now ahead just shy of 6% over the past 24 hours.
Regulatory pressure on digital assets and crypto protocols has substantially eased with Donald Trump's return to the White House compared to the previous administration, often dubbed as hostile by industry members. New SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has touted tokenization as a key innovation for capital markets, saying in a FOX Business interview last week that it has the potential to change the financial system over the next couple years.

Key Points:ASIC grants class relief for stablecoin intermediaries.Streamlines regulatory compliance for industry intermediaries.Potential for increased institutional stablecoin activity. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) granted a regulatory exemption on September 18 for stablecoin intermediaries, allowing distribution without separate financial services licenses within Australia. This exemption provides regulatory clarity, reducing compliance costs, and potentially increasing institutional stablecoin activity under AFS-licensed issuers, signaling upcoming broader reforms in Australia’s digital asset space. ASIC Exempts Stablecoin Providers from Additional Licensing ASIC has provided class exemption for stablecoin intermediaries, allowing them to distribute cryptocurrencies issued by licensed Australian institutions without needing separate financial services licenses. This measure helps address Australia’s regulatory challenges in the stablecoin sector. Intermediaries can now distribute stablecoins through licensed channels without additional AFS licenses, lowering operational barriers. The relief maintains issuer liability while mandating product disclosure to ensure transparency in the market. “The first-of-its-kind relief exempts intermediaries from the requirement to hold separate AFS, Australian market, or clearing and settlement facility licences when providing services related to stablecoins issued by an AFS licensee.” — ASIC Official Statement, Australian Securities and Investments CommissionBlockchain APAC CEO Steve Vallas described this move as a temporary transition toward broader reforms. Official reports emphasize that the exemption does not alter stablecoin classification as financial products. Potential Market Reforms and Global Impact Did you know?
