BINANCE HAS MORE CRYPTO ACCOUNTS THAN THE ENTIRE US HAS BROKERAGE ACCOUNTS.
That's Ondo's framing of the tokenized stock opportunity. Generational, by Ian de Bode's read. Not a quote you forget.
The math is staggering when you actually run it:
US brokerage accounts: ~150M (across all firms combined) Binance accounts: ~250M+ Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, Kraken combined: ~300M+
Crypto exchanges are now the largest distribution rails for any financial product on earth. Not the largest "for crypto." The largest, period.
When tokenized stocks move through these rails, the customer acquisition cost approaches zero. The user is already there. The wallet is already funded. The compliance is already done.
Ondo at 66% market share in tokenized equities sits in the position to capture the bulk of that flow. 117% YTD growth confirms it's already happening.
The opportunity isn't tokenizing US stocks for US users.
It's tokenizing them for the 5 billion humans without a brokerage account who already have a crypto wallet.

This is the most pro-crypto regulatory alignment any country has ever assembled. And it's happening while CLARITY moves to markup, while a federal $BTC reserve announcement is "weeks away," while ETF flows turn positive again.
The structural setup hasn't been this aligned in 10 years.

🔥 @Pumpfun burns $370M worth of PUMP, commits 50% of revenue to token buybacks
#Pumpfun has burned around $370M in $PUMP tokens and introduced a one-year automated buyback-and-burn program, allocating 50% of platform revenue to repurchase and permanently remove its native token. The move signals a shift in Pumpfun’s strategy to support the token’s value after months of community concerns about whether buybacks would continue and how the team would handle previously repurchased tokens.
Pumpfun is a #Solana-based platform that makes it easy to create and trade meme coins, letting users launch tokens with little technical knowledge and build liquidity on decentralized exchanges.
