KuCoin Web3 has integrated Ondo Global Markets into the KuCoin Web3 Wallet, bringing more than 260 tokenized US equities and exchange-traded funds into its self-custodial wallet alongside crypto-native assets and wallet-native perpetual trading. The integration was announced on 30 April 2026 and extends KuCoin’s wallet beyond crypto into the largest tokenized equities platform by total value locked.
What the integration covers
Through the new Ondo Global Markets layer, KuCoin Web3 Wallet users can discover, view and access tokenised securities directly inside the wallet. The catalogue includes tokenised Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft and Amazon, plus ETFs tied to gold, silver and the Nasdaq. Trading generally follows a 24/5 schedule aligned with the US market.
The experience currently supports Ethereum and BNB Chain. According to KuCoin, users can now manage crypto assets and TradFi-linked on-chain assets from a single entry point — a positioning the company frames as evolving the wallet from a custody-and-connectivity tool into a unified gateway for both crypto and tokenised real-world assets.
Why a self-custody route matters
The integration is part of a broader trend of major self-custodial wallets routing tokenised US securities directly to their existing user bases. MetaMask integrated Ondo Global Markets in March 2026, and Trust Wallet integrated the platform shortly after Ondo Global Markets went live in September 2025. KuCoin’s move adds another major exchange-affiliated wallet to that distribution layer.
The pitch is operational: rather than open a US brokerage account, fund it via wire and operate inside US market hours, a non-US holder can hold tokenised exposure to the same equities directly in a wallet they already use for crypto, with self-custody preserved.
Executive comments
Gas Meng, Lead of KuCoin Web3 Wallet Operation, framed the integration as a redefinition of what a wallet should be. “This integration reflects our broader view of what a wallet should become: not only a tool for custody and connectivity, but a trusted access point to a wider range of on-chain financial opportunities,” Meng said. “By bringing tokenized U.S. securities into KuCoin Web3 Wallet, we are giving users a more unified experience where crypto assets and traditional finance-linked assets can be accessed side by side, with self-custody remaining at the center.”
Min Lin, Managing Director of Global Business Development at Ondo Finance, framed it from a distribution standpoint. “With over 260 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs now accessible directly in KuCoin’s Web3 Wallet, millions of crypto-native users can expand their onchain portfolio to include the same equities they’d find on traditional brokerages,” Lin said. “What once required a brokerage account is now available to everyone.”
Ondo Global Markets in context
Ondo Global Markets serves as the issuance and redemption layer for the tokenised securities in Ondo Finance’s catalogue. Tokens give economic exposure to publicly traded US stocks and ETFs but do not confer ownership of the underlying shares — an important distinction for users assessing voting and shareholder rights, although Ondo recently partnered with Broadridge to bring proxy voting to its tokenised stocks and ETFs.
Since launching in September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has grown into the largest tokenized equities platform by TVL, supporting more than 250 assets across Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain at the time of its 60-asset expansion in March 2026. The platform now sits inside a tokenised real-world asset market that has surpassed US$22 billion globally according to MetaMask’s March 2026 disclosure.
How the deal slots into KuCoin’s product roadmap
For KuCoin Web3 Wallet, the Ondo integration follows the launch of native in-wallet perpetual trading and continues the wallet’s expansion into a multi-product surface. Recent KuCoin moves on the broader exchange side include the launch of the Mastercard-branded KuCard in Australia and the global PROOF brand campaign, both pushing KuCoin toward a more diversified retail footprint after a difficult 2024 marked by US AML enforcement and a $297.4 million DOJ settlement.
The Web3 Wallet is the consumer-facing edge of that diversification: a non-custodial product that does not rely on the exchange’s regulated entity for asset access, but does benefit from KuCoin’s existing user base and brand. By making tokenised US stocks accessible to that base without requiring a brokerage relationship, the integration extends KuCoin’s reach into a category that has become one of the few consistent growth segments in 2026’s crypto market.
FAQ
What does the KuCoin Web3 Wallet and Ondo Global Markets integration offer?
KuCoin Web3 Wallet users can now discover, view and access more than 260 Ondo-supported tokenised securities directly within the wallet, including tokenised Nvidia, Apple, Tesla, Microsoft and Amazon, plus ETFs tied to gold, silver and the Nasdaq. Self-custody is preserved, and the experience supports Ethereum and BNB Chain.
When can users trade tokenized stocks via the wallet?
Trading generally follows a 24/5 schedule aligned with the US market. Tokenised stocks and ETFs through Ondo Global Markets give users economic exposure to publicly traded US securities through blockchain-based tokens that can be held, transferred and accessed on-chain, rather than direct ownership of the underlying shares.
How does this fit into Ondo’s wider distribution strategy?
KuCoin Web3 Wallet joins MetaMask, Trust Wallet and other major self-custodial wallets that have integrated Ondo Global Markets since its September 2025 launch. Ondo Global Markets is now the largest tokenised equities platform by TVL, with more than 250 assets across Ethereum, Solana and BNB Chain.
The KuCoin–Ondo integration confirms a pattern that has built quietly through 2026: tokenised US equities are no longer a separate product class accessed through dedicated apps, but a feature inside the wallets crypto users already hold. Whether that translates into volumes that meaningfully challenge non-US brokerages — or remains a convenient secondary venue for existing crypto holders — will be the practical test for the next twelve months.
