Primex, a leading decentralized prime brokerage protocol, today announced a pivotal expansion into the rapidly growing real-world asset (RWA) sector with the integration of tokenized stocks and ETFs from Ondo Finance. This strategic move establishes Primex as one of the first decentralized finance (DeFi) money markets to facilitate lending, borrowing, and leveraged trading for tokenized equities, starting with SPYon (SPDR S&P 500 ETF), NVDAon (Nvidia), and TSLAon (Tesla).
The integration marks a significant milestone, providing DeFi users with unprecedented on-chain access to blue-chip traditional market exposure while enabling new yield opportunities for lenders and sophisticated trading strategies for borrowers.
“The on-chain tokenization of real-world assets is no longer a theoretical concept; it’s the fastest-growing bridge between traditional finance and crypto rails,” said Dmitry Tolok, VP of Growth, Primex. “With this launch, Primex is at the forefront of this evolution, offering the first dedicated DeFi money market for tokenized stocks. We are empowering users to seamlessly engage with familiar assets like the S&P 500, Nvidia, and Tesla within a composable, 24/7 DeFi environment, opening up immense opportunities for both liquidity providers and traders.”
The move comes as the RWA tokenization market continues its explosive growth, scaling from a niche segment to approximately $28 billion today, representing a nearly 380% increase in just three years. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries alone have surged to over $7.5 billion in 2025, underscoring a clear institutional shift towards on-chain asset management. Major financial players, including BlackRock’s BUIDL fund surpassing $2 billion in AUM and collaborations between Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon on tokenized money market fund rails, further validate the inevitable convergence of traditional and decentralized finance. Industry forecasts, such as BCG’s estimate of $16 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030, reinforce the long-term trajectory of this market.
Primex’s integration with Ondo Finance, a leading RWA issuer known for its Ondo Global Markets which offers over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs backed by securities held with regulated broker-dealers, ensures robust and compliant on-chain representations of these assets.
This early embrace of tokenized equities firmly positions Primex at the forefront of DeFi innovation, providing a crucial bridge for capital seeking diversified exposure and enhanced utility. Alongside the expansion of tokenized stocks, Primex is also deepening its stablecoin integrations to optimize capital routing, collateral efficiency, and settlement, providing complementary rails for all RWA activities.
Primex is committed to continuous innovation in the RWA space. Upcoming developments include:
Primex invites crypto investors, DeFi users, and stablecoin/tokenized asset issuers to explore the new opportunities presented by tokenized stocks on the platform.
Primex Finance is a leveraged farming and trading protocol that offers the highest APYs in the market and margin trading of an unlimited range of tokens on DEXs.
On Primex, borrowers utilize lender liquidity to leverage low-risk assets like LSTs and LRTs, RWAs, DEX LP positions as well as margin trade assets on spot DEXs, including those not available on CEXs and perps markets. By enabling a truly decentralized approach to leveraged trading, Primex empowers traders with advanced tools and lenders with opportunities to earn yield on their assets, all while maintaining a non-custodial and transparent environment.
