Multiple outlets (Crypto Daily, The Block, and CoinCodex) confirm that Ondo Finance has launched Ondo Private Markets, offering tokenized notes tied to private companies. The initial offering focuses on a pre-IPO AI company, as reported by The Block and CoinCodex. Crypto Daily and CoinCodex both highlight the 24/7 secondary trading feature for eligible non-U.S. investors.

Ondo Finance has launched Ondo Private Markets, a platform that offers tokenized notes tied to private companies, starting with a pre-IPO artificial intelligence firm. This initiative aims to provide investors with exposure to private markets through blockchain-based instruments.
The platform's tokenized notes are designed to represent ownership in private companies, allowing investors to gain exposure traditionally reserved for venture capital and private equity firms. This approach could democratize access to private market investments.
According to multiple outlets, the initial offering is centered around a pre-IPO AI company, with plans to expand to include more private companies in the future. This phased rollout suggests a strategic approach to testing the market and regulatory response.
One of the key features of Ondo Private Markets is the availability of 24/7 secondary trading for eligible non-U.S. investors. This continuous trading capability sets it apart from traditional private market investments, which typically lack liquidity and have limited trading windows.
The launch comes as the total crypto market cap stands at $2.9 trillion, with 
Bitcoin experiencing a 2.99% decline in the past 24 hours. The ONDO token, which is associated with Ondo Finance, is also down 6.79% in the same period, currently trading at $0.464977 with a market cap of $2.26 billion.
Since this brief published about 12 hours ago, Ondo (ONDO) has moved from $0.465 to $0.467 — +0.44%.
