MetaMask, the self-custody crypto wallet developed by Ethereum software company Consensys, is launching access to tokenized US stocks, exchange-traded funds and commodities through Ondo Global Markets.
Starting Tuesday, eligible MetaMask users in non-U.S. countries will give you the option to access 200 tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs and commodities corresponding to gold and silver on the Ethereum network, the corporate said in an announcement shared with Cointelegraph.
The offering allows users to buy tokenized assets via MetaMask Swaps by swapping Circle's USDC (USDC) stablecoin for Ondo Global Markets (GM) tokens, that are designed to trace the worth of their underlying assets on a 1:1 basis.
Ondo Finance has previously attracted attention for its collaboration with World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a crypto project backed by US President Donald Trump. According to data from CoinGecko, Ondo’s native token, ONDO, has fallen by around 80% over the past yr.
Desktop support expected at the top of February
MetaMask's tokenized asset offering will initially be available exclusively on MetaMask Mobile, with desktop integration with a browser extension expected in late February, a Consensys spokesperson told Cointelegraph.
“Access to US markets continues to be through old rails,” said Joe Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Consensys, citing fragmented apps and rigid trading windows in traditional markets.
“The direct integration of Ondo’s tokenized US stocks and ETFs into MetaMask shows what a greater model looks like,” Lubin said, adding:
“A single, self-managed wallet where people can switch between crypto and traditional assets without intermediaries and without giving up control. This is the long run we’re actively working towards at MetaMask.”
30 jurisdictions excluded from rollout
In keeping with Ondo's stated give attention to offering tokenized assets primarily to non-American investors, the launch of MetaMask will exclude users within the US in addition to numerous other markets.
The offering is not going to be available in 30 countries and regions, including Canada, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom.

“MetaMask uses a wide range of methods to be certain that geographic restrictions are enforced, including geographic restrictions based on the user’s IP address,” a Consensys spokesperson told Cointelegraph.
If a user is found to be in a restricted region, they are going to receive an error message stating that the trade route is unavailable, the representative said, adding:
“MetaMask continues to explore compliant ways to expand global access to tokenized real-world assets according to evolving regulatory frameworks.”
Growing trend towards RWA and forecast market integration
MetaMask's move into real-world assets (RWAs) underscores the industry's broader push toward the “every little thing app” vision, with exchanges and self-custodial wallets increasingly integrating tokenized assets and prediction markets.
Coinbase, the biggest U.S. crypto exchange by trading volume, announced late last yr that it could be developing its own RWA platform, Coinbase Tokenize.
Trust Wallet, the self-custody crypto wallet backed by Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, integrated tokenized assets from Ondo in September 2025.
Both corporations have also expanded into prediction markets, with Coinbase integrating Kalshi and Trust Wallet using Myriad for its initial launch.
In October 2025, MetaMask partnered with Polymarket to offer access to prediction markets directly from MetaMask's mobile app.
