Vera SEARCH Searching... Via iq.wiki ONDO Perps hits $7B in volume weeks after launch Ondo Finance's perpetual
futures platform for tokenized equities is pulling in billions of dollars in trading volume barely a month after going
live. Share Add us on Google by Editorial Team Aug. 7, 2026 Ondo Perps, the perpetual futures arm of tokenized asset
protocol Ondo Finance, has racked up over $7 billion in cumulative trading volume roughly one month after its launch.
The platform went into early access on June 9 and opened broader access on July 7. The platform lets traders take
leveraged positions, up to 20x, on perpetual contracts tied to tokenized US equities, ETFs, and commodities, tradeable
around the clock on-chain. The numbers behind the surge DefiLlama data pegs cumulative perps volume at approximately
$6.83 billion as of recent tracking, with the total crossing $7 billion shortly after. Daily trading volumes have hit
north of $300 million during peak sessions. Open interest on the platform has held steady in the $67 million to $72
million range. Advertisement Part of what’s fueling the momentum is a collateral innovation that sets Ondo Perps
apart from most derivatives venues. Traders can post tokenized stocks and stablecoins as margin collateral. That means
someone holding tokenized Apple shares doesn’t need to sell them to fund a leveraged trade. How Ondo built the
flywheel Ondo Finance has spent the last couple of years positioning itself as infrastructure for bringing traditional
assets on-chain, tokenizing US Treasuries, stocks, and other real-world assets. Ondo Stocks, the platform’s equity
tokenization layer, provides the on-chain representations that feed into the perpetual futures engine. The integration
is tight: the same ecosystem that mints the tokenized assets also provides the derivatives market to trade them. Recent
enhancements have added fuel to the fire. The introduction of tokenized stock collateral options expanded what traders
could pledge as margin. Rewards programs, likely involving ONDO token incentives, have given early adopters extra
reasons to stick around. One wrinkle worth noting: Ondo Perps is not available to US users. The platform operates
outside restricted jurisdictions including the United States and Panama. What this means for crypto derivatives
Perpetual futures have been the dominant trading instrument in crypto for years, typically applied to Bitcoin, Ethereum,
and other digital assets. Ondo Perps extends that model to traditional equities, creating a 24/7 derivatives market for
assets that normally trade on exchanges with opening bells and closing hours. Allowing tokenized stocks as collateral
means traders aren’t forced to choose between holding equities and deploying capital in derivatives markets,
unlocking portfolio strategies that aren’t possible in either traditional finance or standard crypto derivatives
platforms alone. The open interest range of $67 million to $72 million will be a key metric to watch. Volume can be
inflated by wash trading or short-term incentive programs, but sustained open interest suggests real positions being
held by real traders. Disclosure: This article was edited by Editorial Team. For more information on how we create and
