We’re excited to announce the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology (FCAT®), an innovation catalyst for Fidelity Investments, is now a required verifier for Ondo Stocks transfers across Ethereum, HyperEVM, and additional supported chains via the Ondo Bridge.

FCAT’s Decentralized Verifier Network (DVN) participates in validating each transaction alongside a quorum of verifiers, helping to confirm transaction integrity before settlement on the destination chain. FCAT validates transfers of 35 Ondo Stocks to HyperEVM and all 450+ Ondo Stocks across other supported networks, providing a foundation for future expansion.
Institutional-Grade Verification for Cross-Chain Transfers

Tokenized stocks now top $3 billion in total value across a growing number of blockchains. As more value moves between networks, verifiers play a central role in supporting secure interoperability across blockchain ecosystems. FCAT operates within Fidelity Investments, one of the world’s largest financial services firms, with $19.9 trillion in assets under administration. Today’s announcement reflects the growing participation of traditional financial institutions in building infrastructure critical to support tokenized assets.

In February 2026, the Ondo Bridge became the first entity to adopt FCAT’s DVN for tokenized assets through LayerZero. Today, that integration extends to Ondo Stocks, which now share the verification standard already in place on the Ondo Bridge.
"FCAT is proud to provide trusted cross-chain verification for tokenized transactions, including Ondo Stocks. With the growth of native digital assets and traditional financial assets increasingly moving on-chain, reliable verification is becoming an increasingly important building block for foundational infrastructure. The FCAT DVN helps enable secure interoperability across blockchain networks, giving market participants greater confidence to utilize tokenized assets."
Jason Ward, Head of FCAT Blockchain & Crypto
“Ondo and the Fidelity Center for Applied Technology are helping to strengthen the security of cross-chain transfers of Ondo Stocks, with FCAT now serving as a required verifier for every transfer. It’s clearer now more than ever that the future of markets is open, global, and running on institutional-grade infrastructure.”

Using Ondo Stocks Across Chains

Eligible investors outside the U.S. can transfer Ondo Stocks between networks, with FCAT’s DVN integrated into the verification framework. Once on the destination network, they can swap assets, hold them in self-custody or use them as collateral. As markets move onchain, Ondo Finance is building the infrastructure where they will run.

Eligible investors outside the U.S. can transfer supported Ondo Stocks today via the Ondo Bridge.
