Clearstream, 360X (Deutsche Börse Group backed digital asset exchange venue), and Ondo Finance have announced a partnership to connect traditional financial markets with onchain infrastructure built on public, permissionless blockchains, bringing tokenized equities infrastructure to Europe.
Structure of the rollout:
Phase 1: Ondo’s tokenized US equities will be listed on 360X
Phase 2: Clearstream will provide custody, settlement, and post-trade services, while enabling Ondo to list tokenized assets originating from its ecosystem
➡️ Why this matters
360X, backed by Deutsche Börse Group, is designed to extend traditional market infrastructure into digital assets. Operating out of Germany, it targets institutional buyside participants across Europe.
Today, European institutions face structural friction accessing US equities outside core market hours.
Ondo’s tokenized equities platform, Ondo Global Markets, directly addresses this:
1️⃣ 24/5 access to US equities exposure
2️⃣ >$10B trading volume
3️⃣ >$550M AUM within ~7 months of launch
This partnership effectively inserts that capability into regulated European market infrastructure.
👉 The implication:
European buyside can access US equities during off-hours within a familiar, institution-grade venue, rather than via fragmented crypto-native rails.
➡️ What to watch next
- Will European institutions meaningfully adopt 24/5 trading once embedded into regulated venues?
- Does this become the blueprint for integrating public blockchain assets into CSD-led market structure?
