Private markets can offer even more in both breadth and performance than US public markets, which are widely regarded as the global gold standard. 87% of US companies with more than $100 million in annual revenue are privately held, including many shaping the next generation of AI, robotics, and more. They can also deliver superior long-term returns. Over the 20 years ending December 2025, US private equity funds delivered annualized returns of 13.2%, net of fees, compared with 11.3% for an S&P 500 public-market equivalent. Yet, access to private markets remains out of reach for many retail and high-net worth investors, with high minimum investments creating substantial barriers to entry.Ondo Private Markets Notes make private market exposure accessible:
- Buy and sell, anytime. Private markets have historically offered limited liquidity. Ondo Private Markets enables trading venues to generate liquidity, bringing buyers and sellers together 24/7. Investors can increase, reduce, or exit their exposure through secondary trading without waiting for an IPO or other liquidity events.
- Access industry-defining companies. Gain economic exposure to private companies shaping the next era of the economy, before they reach public markets. We’re starting with AI, with plans to expand into robotics, cybersecurity, biotech, defense, energy, space, and more, bringing eligible investors access to the companies building out the modern economy.
- Only the companies you want. Choose the individual businesses you have conviction in, without having to buy a broad fund full of companies you don’t. Build exposure around your own view of a company’s prospects, with greater control over which businesses you include and how much you allocate to each.
- Self-custody and freely transferable. Hold your tokens in your own self-custody wallet and transfer them to other eligible holders. Onchain transferability gives you flexibility over where you hold your tokens and how you move them between supported wallets and trading venues.
- Built on proven infrastructure. Ondo Private Markets is built on the same institutional-grade infrastructure that has made Ondo the leading issuer of tokenized stocks and treasuries, with $3.7 billion in total value locked, over 1 million cumulative holders, and partnerships with the largest institutions in traditional markets.
