Top News Today: U.S. Stocks Mostly Lower as Bond Selloff Worsens -2-
Dow Jones2026/09/24 20:40Ondo is launching seven tokenized model portfolios on Thursday, including the three from BlackRock: high-income, diversified growth and high-growth.
The BlackRock portfolios will hold a mix of stock, bond and bitcoin exchange-traded funds depending on their profile. Ondo will issue a token tracking each of the portfolios. As investors buy them, self-executing software automatically buys shares in the underlying ETFs that make up the portfolio.
The model portfolios will initially be available to non-U. S. investors, who won't have direct shareholders rights in the underlying securities held. Investors will be able to borrow against their tokens, transfer them and trade them 24/7.
