Ondo launches Intelligent Portfolios, Powered by BlackRock, bringing portfolio strategies onchain. Sep 24, 2026, 09:00 ET New Ondo Intelligent Portfolios will offer portfolio tokens based on portfolio strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo, bringing professionally designed portfolios delivered as single onchain tokens for eligible investors outside the United States. NEW YORK, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Ondo Finance today launched a new onchain product category: Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, curated portfolios delivered as single onchain transferable tokens. The three portfolio tokens launched today are based on portfolio strategies powered by BlackRock, developed by BlackRock for Ondo, marking the first time eligible onchain investors can access exposure to such strategies through a single token. Diversified, professionally constructed strategies have historically required brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures. Now, delivered as peer-to-peer transferable tokens from Ondo, these onchain portfolios become accessible to eligible non-US investors in permitted jurisdictions through the wallets, exchanges, and DeFi applications they already use. Distribution is only part of the story. Bringing portfolios onchain can unlock novel capabilities: rebalancing that executes automatically at the smart contract level, portfolios that are fully programmable and composable with the broader onchain economy, and the potential to combine asset classes within a single token. Ondo Intelligent Portfolios establishes the infrastructure to bring portfolios based on leading asset managers' strategies onchain. "Tokenization creates new ways for portfolio strategies to be delivered through digital infrastructure. Diversified portfolio strategies can be incorporated into tokenized investment products, enabling eligible investors to access diversified allocations through a single instrument. It shows how established portfolio construction approaches can be delivered through new channels and technologies." - Lisa O'Connor is Global Head of the Model Portfolio Solutions team and the Co-CIO for Global Solutions within the Multi-Asset Strategies group at BlackRock Three custom portfolio strategies addressing three specific needs are launched today across income, allocation, and thematic strategies: * BLKHIon: Ondo High Income Powered by BlackRock * BLKDIGon: Ondo Diversified Growth Powered by BlackRock * BLKGRWon: Ondo High Growth Powered by BlackRock "Portfolios like these have never been available onchain. Now, they are made accessible onchain, transferable at any time, and usable across DeFi. This launch represents an important milestone in the development of onchain investment products. By incorporating strategies drawn on BlackRock's longstanding portfolio construction experience into tokenized investment structures, eligible investors in supported jurisdictions can obtain exposure to diversified portfolio allocations through a single token. " - Ian De Bode, Acting CEO and President, Ondo Finance Holding a portfolio token provides economic exposure to the portfolio's underlying basket. Each portfolio token is issued by Ondo Global Markets and tokenized by Ondo Finance. Investors mint or redeem a single token to hold a weighted basket of tokenized assets, without buying, weighting, or rebalancing individual positions themselves. Holdings, weights, and every rebalance are visible onchain, and the tokens are transferable peer-to-peer across wallets, exchanges, and DeFi protocols. Ondo intends to expand the product line with additional onchain portfolios over time.

BlackRock partnership sparks 24% rally in this crypto. September 24, 2026 Finbold general Positive Ondo Finance's governance token ONDO surged 24% following news of a deepening relationship between Ondo Finance and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK), the world's largest asset manager, as BlackRock continues its aggressive push into digital assets and tokenized real-world asset infrastructure. Ondo Finance, which operates at the intersection of decentralized finance and institutional-grade tokenized treasuries, has emerged as a direct beneficiary of BlackRock's blockchain ambitions - particularly as BlackRock's BUIDL tokenized fund and broader RWA tokenization strategy gain traction among institutional investors. The 24% ONDO price rally underscores how closely crypto markets are tracking BlackRock's every move in the digital asset space, with the asset manager's partnerships now functioning as de facto market catalysts for associated tokens and protocols. For investors researching Ondo Finance tokenomics, RWA crypto investments, and DeFi governance tokens, ONDO's performance signals growing conviction that tokenized U.S. Treasuries and institutional DeFi will be a defining sector of the next crypto market cycle. BlackRock's entry into on-chain finance also adds legitimacy that could attract additional institutional capital into Ondo's ecosystem, supporting both the ONDO token and the broader Ondo DAO governance structure. Investors should closely monitor further BlackRock digital asset announcements, Ondo Finance TVL growth, any new tokenized product launches, and ONDO's price action relative to key resistance levels in the weeks ahead. As BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK) aggressively accelerated its digital asset and blockchain footprint, as Finbold reported, Ondo (ONDO), the governance token for the Ondo Finance ecosystem and the Ondo DAO, has emerged as a primary beneficiary.
