Ondo Finance announced its Intelligent Portfolios have launched on Solana for eligible non-US investors. The seven portfolios are offered as single on-chain transferable tokens, covering yield, growth, and thematic exposures. Three of the portfolios are based on strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo: high-yield BLKHIon, high-growth BLKGRWon, and diversified growth BLKDIGon. The remaining four were designed by Ondo itself: MAG7Xon, BRAINon, YLD5on, and YLD8on. Since their launch roughly four weeks ago, the combined total value locked (TVL) of these portfolios on Ethereum and BNB Chain has exceeded $40 million. Ondo noted that its tokenized assets on Solana have a TVL of over $500 million, with transparent portfolio holdings and programmatic rebalancing, eliminating the need for investors to manage a basket of underlying assets on their own.

Chainlink announced the launch of Chainlink 24/7, a service that delivers round-the-clock market data for traditional assets such as stocks and commodities to on-chain markets, covering weekends and holidays to fill the pricing gap for US equities between Friday evening and Sunday evening, as well as on non-trading days. The service is delivered via Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams: during trading hours, it leverages existing 24/5 session data, while after traditional markets close, it aggregates quotes from multiple perpetual contract platforms to form a single continuous price reference. Official launch partner Aave is utilizing the 24/7 Data Feeds for its institutional lending platform Horizon to provide round-the-clock pricing for tokenized real-world asset (RWA) collateral, with initial coverage of high-volume US stocks. Chainlink noted that its 24/5 offering already provides delayed pricing for nearly half of tokenized stocks, supporting the pricing of over $1.6 billion in tokenized stocks across six blockchains for projects including Ondo, xStocks, Robinhood, and Coinbase.

Asset management giant Franklin Templeton has launched two U.S.-listed ETFs: FBEQ, which tracks the VettaFi U.S. Large Cap 500 Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index, and FIBT, which tracks the VettaFi U.S. Innovation 100 Bitcoin Dividend Reinvestment Index. Their expense ratios are 0.09% and 0.19% respectively. The products start with an allocation of approximately 95% to U.S. equities and 5% to Bitcoin exposure. The indexes reinvest both regular and special dividends from their constituent stocks into Bitcoin after the ex-dividend date, gradually boosting Bitcoin’s weight over time. To maintain Bitcoin as a secondary position, if Bitcoin’s weight exceeds 5% in a given quarter, it will be adjusted down to 4.5%; if it exceeds 20% at any point during the quarter, it will be reset to 4.5% two trading days later. The two funds do not hold Bitcoin directly, instead gaining exposure via instruments including Bitcoin ETPs, futures, and options.
