The integration is made possible through a collaboration with Ondo Finance, a platform focused on tokenizing traditional financial products, and 1inch, a tool that finds optimal trading routes on decentralized exchanges.
Ondo Finance will handle the creation of digital versions of stocks, ETFs, and bonds. Meanwhile, 1inch Fusion helps improve pricing and liquidity to make swaps into RWAs more seamless.
