Ondo Partners with South Korea's Largest Asset Management Company, Mirae Asset, to Advance On-Chain ETF Products

June 16 — Official sources confirm that Ondo Finance has announced a partnership with Mirae Asset, South Korea’s largest asset management firm. The collaboration will enable on-chain tokenization of Global X ETFs from Mirae’s Global X ETF series, leveraging Ondo Global Markets’ platform. This marks the first time a major Asian asset management institution has brought its existing ETF products to a blockchain, opening up on-chain investment access to these assets. Under the agreement, Mirae Asset becomes the first Asian asset management company to list its ETFs on the blockchain. The initial batch includes 10 Global X ETFs focused on themes like artificial intelligence and technology, blockchain and digital assets, robotics and space innovation, lithium and silver, defense technology, and covered call option income strategies. Both parties emphasized that the asset management industry is undergoing a structural transformation driven by tokenization, noting that future capital market infrastructure will gradually be built on-chain as traditional financial institutions accelerate their embrace of this next-generation financial system.
