Ondo Finance is reportedly exploring an acquisition worth up to US$500 million as it seeks to expand its business in the tokenised real-world asset market.

People familiar with the matter said discussions remain active, although no final agreement has been reached and the transaction could still change or be abandoned.

The proposed acquisition would support Ondo Finance's strategy of expanding blockchain-based access to traditional financial products, including tokenised US Treasuries.

The reported deal comes as competition intensifies among companies developing tokenised real-world asset platforms, a sector that has attracted increasing attention from banks and asset managers.

If completed, the acquisition would rank among the largest transactions involving a private company focused on tokenised real-world assets.

At the time of reporting, Ondo price was $0.4072.
