NEAR Protocol and Ondo Finance are expanding access to tokenized assets by integrating Ondo's suite of U.S. financial products into the 1Click Swap API. This move builds on their existing September 2026 collaboration, which introduced tokenized stocks, ETFs, and commodities to the NEAR platform.

This integration seeks to streamline how users interact with tokenized traditional financial assets, potentially simplifying the process for those looking to diversify portfolios across crypto-native interfaces. It reflects a growing effort to bridge decentralized platforms with institutional financial instruments.
The initial lineup includes 20 tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs, and commodity-linked products available on NEAR platforms. The scope of assets available through the future API integration remains to be seen.
