Ondo OUSG

NAMERtokenized mmfproductionOperator: Ondo FinanceIssuance unverified

Tokenized short-Treasury exposure issued by Ondo, structured as a 3(c)(7) private fund. Functions as on-chain cash collateral for permissioned holders alongside BUIDL and FOBXX. Distribution leans more DeFi-adjacent than the BlackRock or Franklin offerings, reflecting Ondo's positioning between TradFi structure and onchain venues.


Operating details

How it actually settles
Architecture

Holdings primarily route through BlackRock's BUIDL, with smaller allocations to Franklin OnChain US Government MMF, WisdomTree, Fidelity, and Wellington/FundBridge vehicles. Subscriptions and redemptions run through an on-chain manager contract that converts USDC at USD 1.00 to OUSG at the current NAV (and back) on a 24/7/365 basis, subject to a USD 50M global and USD 25M per-investor daily redemption ceiling. OUSG lives on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, and the XRP Ledger, with cross-chain transfer via Ondo Bridge over LayerZero.

Participants

BlackRock (BUIDL) · Franklin Templeton (FOBXX/BENJI) · WisdomTree · Fidelity · Wellington / FundBridge · NAV Consulting (fund administrator) · Clear Street (custodian) · Coinbase Custody · Ripple (RLUSD on XRPL) · Oasis Pro (transfer agent, post-acquisition)

Scale

Token supply sat near USD 693M at the June 2025 XRPL launch and rwa.xyz showed roughly USD 723M across 54 holders later in 2025, with combined OUSG plus USDY market cap approaching USD 1.4B by early 2026. Ondo platform-wide TVL crossed USD 2.75B entering 2026.

Regulatory wrapper

Structured as a Section 3(c)(7) private fund under the Investment Company Act, restricted to Qualified Purchasers, distributed under Reg D and Reg S. Ondo's October 2025 acquisition of Oasis Pro brought broker-dealer, ATS, and transfer-agent registrations in-house.

Known limits

QP gating excludes the retail and accredited-only segments, which Ondo serves separately via USDY. Secondary trading is whitelist-restricted; the daily USD 50M global redemption cap can bind in stressed scenarios, and instant tickets carry a USD 5,000 minimum.
