Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users of near.com now see Ondo’s tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs inside the app, with purchases available using crypto from more than 30 networks. That means access to these assets is showing up in a consumer-facing venue, not only in the institutional conversion route.
