PancakeSwap taps Ondo to integrate real-world assets (RWAs) on BNB Chain

  • The DEX has signed a strategic collaboration with Ondo Finance.
  • BNB Chain users can access over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs from today.
  • PancakeSwap has offered zero trading fees for the first month.

PancakeSwap has teamed up with Ondo Finance to bring over 100 tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds into the BNB Chain.

Starting today, users on the Binance platform can buy or sell digital representations of top US bonds, stocks, and ETFs, all pegged 1:1 to the underlying securities.

According to Ondo Finance CEO Nathan Allman:

Expanding Ondo Global Markets to BNB Chain allows us to bring tokenized US stocks and ETFs to millions of users across Asia, Latin America, and other geographies, in an environment that is fast, cost-efficient, and highly interoperable. This is a major step toward making US markets globally accessible through blockchain technology.

PancakeSwap will waive trading fees for the first 30 days to celebrate Ondo Global Markets integration.

That gives the DeFi community a cost-free way to navigate tokenized traditional assets on the Binance ecosystem.

On-chain finance hits a key milestone

The alliance is part of Ondo’s mission to leverage blockchain technology to allow access to high-quality US monetary assets, including real estate and stocks.

Now, BNB Chain’s over 3.4 million daily users and the vast DeFi ecosystem can enjoy Ondo’s offerings.

Further, PancakeSwap promises user-friendliness, self-custody, and transparency.

The integration welcomes a new era for the Binance community, bridging decentralized finance with traditional markets.

BNB Chain’s thriving user base can now access high-net tokenized US securities.

The Chain’s Head of Business Development, Sarah Song, commented:

Real-world assets are one of the fastest-growing segments on BNB Chain, and having Ondo Finance join our ecosystem is another strong validation of that momentum. Together, we’re expanding access to high-quality financial assets and driving the next wave of adoption that connects traditional markets with blockchain technology.

Understanding PancakeSwap’s role

PancakeSwap is the leading DEX on BNB Chain. It will serve as the strategic launch partner supporting trading of the tokenized assets.

The decentralized exchange enables users to trade Ondo’s tokenized securities through a familiar interface, promising a remarkable experience for new and existing DeFi players.

Moreover, PancakeSwap announced a zero-fee campaign between October 29 and November 29.

Ondo will leverage PancakeSwap’s massive user base and liquidity pools to ensure streamlined market activity and price discovery for tokenization enthusiasts on the BNB Chain.

CAKE and ONDO price actions

The native tokens mirrored the broader market performance, exhibiting bearish biases on their daily timeframes.

CAKE lost nearly 5% in the past 24 hours to $2.55, whereas a 2% dip in that timeframe sees ONDO exchanging hands at $0.7364.

Bearish sentiments dominate the broader sector as the global cryptocurrency market cap plunged 1.5% the past day to $3.8 trillion.

Deutsche Digital Assets and Safello launch staked Bittensor ETP

  • Deutsche Digital Assets has teamed up with Safello to list a new Bittensor exchange traded product.
  • The Safello Bittensor Staked TAO ETP offers regulated exposure to Bittensor’s TAO token with staking rewards.
  • Safello’s crypto ETP goes live on SIX Swiss Exchange, one of Europe’s top crypto ETP venues.

German crypto and digital asset manager Deutsche Digital Assets (DDA) and Nordic cryptocurrency exchange Safello have announced the launch of the Safello Bittensor Staked TAO ETP.

The launch comes as the crypto industry welcomes a growing number of digital asset-related products across the market, including the Bitcoin ETP by BlackRock. 

Meanwhile, Bittensor continues to attract attention as a top decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) project.

Developments around AI, including from Big Tech giants Nvidia, Microsoft and Meta, have often pushed TAO and other AI tokens into the limelight.

Staked Bittensor ETP lists on SIX Swiss exchange

Frankfurt-based DDA, a pioneer in crypto exchange-traded products since 2017, announced the new product on October 29, 2025.

The ETP is a collaboration with Safello and brings a physically backed Bittensor ETP to the expanding market.

The product tracks the Kaiko Safello Staked Bittensor Index (KSSTAO) and is domiciled in Liechtenstein.

Trading under ticker STAO (ISIN: DE000A4APQY4) on SIX is slated to commence to enhance seamless buying and selling during standard market hours.

Moreover, the ETP is fully secured in cold storage by regulated custodian BitGo Europe GmbH and holds 100% physical TAO reserves.

What it means for investors

Investors are to benefit from total returns encompassing TAO’s price appreciation plus staking yields, automatically reinvested into the net asset value (NAV).

With a competitive total expense ratio (TER) of 1.49%, it provides an accumulating income structure, ideal for portfolio diversification amid rising interest in AI-driven blockchain assets.

Maximilian Lautenschläger, CEO and founder of DDA, emphasized the strategic fit:

“We are excited to announce the launch of Safello Bittensor Staked TAO ETP through our collaboration with Safello. By leveraging DDA’s white-label ETP platform, we enable our partner to bring their innovative crypto investment strategies to market, while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.”

Unlocking decentralized AI

Bittensor (TAO) is currently trading at $425 and powers a groundbreaking peer-to-peer network, incentivizing collaborative machine learning.

Participants contribute data, models, and compute power for tasks like image recognition, fraud detection, and protein structure prediction, earning TAO rewards in a proof-of-stake ecosystem.

With a market cap exceeding $4.3 billion, Bittensor exemplifies the fusion of blockchain and AI, positioning it as a high-growth asset in the evolving digital economy.

Safello CEO Emelie Moritz commented,

“The launch of Safello Bittensor Staked TAO ETP underlines Safello’s conviction in decentralised AI. Bittensor is a prime example of how decentralized technology and AI are converging to reshape the future of value creation. Together with DDA, we’re making it possible for investors to easily access this innovation through a regulated and transparent investment vehicle.”

Bittensor price reached highs of $457 on Oct. 29, but its all-time high is $767, which it hit back in April 2024.
