SBI Group, a Ripple partner, has formed a strategic partnership with Ondo Finance to help grow tokenized finance in Japan. ONDO’s price jumped about 16% after the company announced another milestone with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC).
The partnership aims to bring Japanese financial assets like equities onto the blockchain, increase the use of SBI’s JPYSC stablecoin for settlements and collateral, and offer Ondo’s tokenized investment products through SBI’s network. These recent announcements have boosted investor confidence in Ondo’s expanding role in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market.
This partnership focuses on Japan, which is one of the biggest and most advanced capital markets in the world. Ondo and SBI want to make Japanese financial assets easier to access for both local and international investors by moving them onto blockchain networks.
Ondo Global Markets (BVI) Limited will create tokenized financial products tied to Japanese assets, and SBI will offer these products through its large financial network. Both companies also plan to promote their products together and reach more customers through new partnerships.
A major part of the agreement is to use SBI’s yen-backed JPYSC stablecoin more widely. This stablecoin will help settle transactions and act as collateral for Ondo’s tokenized assets. It also supports SBI’s goal to connect traditional finance with blockchain technology.
We’re excited to announce a partnership with SBI Group, one of Japan’s leading financial institutions.
The collaboration covers tokenizing Japanese assets with distribution across the SBI ecosystem, and settlement using the JPYSC stablecoin.

Ondo Finance CEO Ian De Bode said Japan is one of the most advanced capital markets in the world and that this partnership will help connect Japanese assets to the global tokenized economy. SBI Chairman and CEO Yoshitaka Kitao called Ondo a global leader in real-world asset tokenization and said the company will be important to SBI’s digital asset plans.
Investor confidence also grew after Ondo recently integrated with DTCC’s Tokenization Service. This service lets traditional securities be represented as tokens backed by DTC tokenized entitlements. The system keeps digital securities connected to assets held in the traditional custody system, helping link regular financial markets with blockchain networks.
After the announcement, ONDO rose about 16%, going from around $0.32 to nearly $0.37. Trading volumes increased as investors reacted positively to Ondo’s new partnerships. This rally shows that more people believe tokenization is becoming a regular part of financial infrastructure.
The SBI partnership and DTCC integration together strengthen Ondo’s place in the growing tokenization market. As more financial institutions use blockchain-based versions of traditional assets, Ondo is becoming a top platform linking global capital markets with decentralized finance. Many investors think this trend could help Ondo grow over the long term.
