Based on the announcement, the new blockchain will fill the gap between traditional finance (tradfi) and decentralized finance (DEFI). It would provide an infrastructure which guarantees regulatory compliance while maintaining philosophy access to access to access.
It would seem that the Ondo channel has already collected significant support from the heavyweights of the industry. Financial institutions such as Franklin Templeton, Wellington Management and Wisdomtree have joined as a design advisers. These organizations, among others, would add credibility and expertise to the project, potentially consolidate the place of Ondo Finance in the RWA sector.
The ONDO channel’s announcement occurs when public blockchains find it difficult to meet the requirements of large -scale tokenized assets. Ondo Finance has identified five major challenges leading to the adoption of RWA.
“Incompatibility with DEFI … fragmented transversal liquidity … High and volatile transaction costs … Safety models of the inadequate network … and institutional regulatory concerns”, said an extract from the ad.
The network has designed the ONDO channel to respond to these obstacles. It introduces improved security, with validators capable of marking Rwas instead of native crypto token, reducing the risks linked to volatility.
In addition, the presence of Donald Trump Jr., a surprise speaker, added to the excitement of the Ondo summit.

Its appearance highlights the growing political and regulatory importance of digital assets on the American market. After the announcement of the L1 launch of Ondo Finance, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump family project bought $ 470,000 in Ondo tokens. This has carried the total value of the Ondo tokens collected to date at nearly $ 700,000.

The initiatives of Ondo Chain and Ondo GM could further accelerate this growth, which facilitates institutions to take advantage of blockchain technology for the tokenization of assets while maintaining compliance with regulatory frameworks.
