Ondo introduces 24/7 conversions between PayPal USD and OUSG

As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in the intersection of traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), I find this latest development between Ondo Finance and PayPal incredibly exciting. My career has been marked by a constant pursuit to bridge these two worlds, and this collaboration seems like a significant step forward in that direction.


Ondo Finance now offers immediate swaps between their tokenized U.S. Treasury bills fund and the PayPal-issued stablecoin, US Dollar.

As per recent news, it’s mentioned that investors can soon switch between Ondo’s primary offering – the Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries – by using PayPal’s USD platform (PyUSD) as a gateway.

The digital investment group, Ondo’s OUSG, primarily invests in a tokenized version of U.S. Treasury bonds, with a significant portion of its holdings being placed within the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund.

The integration takes place the very next day following PayPal’s announcement that their users are now able to transfer PYUSD between Ethereum and Solana networks using LayerZero as a bridge.

As a researcher, I’m excited to announce that with the introduction of our new feature, PYUSD holders will now have the chance to either invest in or divest from their OUSG positions at any time. This round-the-clock service aims to boost both the fund’s redeemable liquidity and the practical applicability of our stablecoin within the broader market of real-world assets.

Enabling transactions between OUSG and PYUSD strengthens our services by providing our clients with a broader selection of dependable and top-tier onchain settlement options. This lets them retain more of their assets on the blockchain. We’re thrilled to be at the intersection where traditional finance and DeFi are merging,” expressed Nathan Allman, CEO of Ondo Finance.

The swift implementation of immediate exchanges between PYUSD and OUSDG by Ondo signifies a phase of rapid acceptance in the sector of tokenized real-world assets. As more and more investors, particularly those who are qualified, explore novel opportunities in cryptocurrencies and RWAs, products like OUSG and BUIDL are witnessing a surge in interest.

Investors find appeal in these financial instruments because they provide tokenized forms of cash substitutes, carrying minimal risk yet promising competitive returns from money market accounts and U.S. Treasury securities.

As reported by RWA.xyz, the worldwide market for tokenized U.S. treasury bonds experienced significant growth, expanding from approximately $100 million in early 2023 to more than $2.3 billion.

Currently, the cumulative value of Realized Widely Attached (RWA) assets on the blockchain exceeds $13.1 billion. This surge is driven by established financial institutions like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton extending their fundamental offerings across various blockchain platforms.
