Ondo Finance's USDY tokenized note saw its on-chain market capitalization expand by $98.9 million over the 30-day period ending October 27, 2026. This growth outpaced similar tokenized U.S. Treasury products from Franklin Templeton during the same timeframe.
Why it matters
Investors are increasingly turning to tokenized products that offer exposure to short-term U.S. Treasuries and bank deposits. This trend highlights a shifting interest in blockchain-based financial instruments that distribute yields outside of conventional stablecoin structures.
Ondo Finance's USDY grew by $98.9 million in on-chain market capitalization compared to the $14.1 million and $12 million gains seen by Franklin Templeton's sgBENJI and BENJI tokens. These figures track growth over the 30-day period ending October 27, 2026.
The players
Ondo Finance
A financial firm that offers tokenized investment products, including USDY, to non-U.S. investors.
Franklin Templeton
An asset management firm known for its traditional funds and its recent expansion into blockchain-based tokenized assets.
The details
USDY functions as a tokenized note that provides exposure to short-term U.S. Treasury securities and bank deposits. Unlike standard stablecoins, these notes are distributed under Regulation S, which limits their availability to non-U.S. individuals and institutional investors. The growth represents the change in total on-chain market value as assets move into these tokenized vehicles.
Timeline
The 30-day measurement period occurred from September 27, 2026 to October 27, 2026.
Money Landscape
The growth of tokenized Treasury products follows the regulatory framework set by Regulation S, which governs the international sale of securities. This trend reflects an evolving interest in global digital assets that operate outside the traditional U.S. securities market.
Investors outside the U.S. may consider these tokenized notes as an alternative to traditional cash holdings or standard stablecoins for yield exposure. Since these products are not offered to U.S. persons, domestic investors should consult with a tax or financial professional regarding alternative assets.
The takeaway
The rise of tokenized Treasuries demonstrates a growing demand for digital instruments that track short-term government debt. If you are exploring international investment products, ensure you verify all eligibility requirements and consult with a professional to understand the risks involved.
