The post SEC Shuts Down Two-Year Probe Into Ondo Finance Without Charges appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The SEC has officially closed its years-long investigation into Ondo Finance, and the timing signals a clear change in how the U.S. is approaching tokenized assets.

After being under scrutiny since 2023, Ondo walked away without a single charge.

A Long Probe Comes to an End

The investigation, launched under former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, focused on whether Ondo followed securities laws when tokenizing U.S. Treasury products and whether the ONDO token should be treated as a security.

The company cooperated throughout, and has now received the formal notice confirming the case had been closed with no enforcement action recommended.

It’s a meaningful outcome for a firm that helped pioneer tokenized Treasuries and was one of the few attempting to scale tokenized public equities.

A New SEC, A New Direction

The closure reflects a broader policy shift under the SEC’s new leadership.

Since Chair Paul Atkins took over, the agency has rolled back several major crypto cases and shut down most ongoing investigations, including those involving Coinbase, Ripple, and Kraken.

Ondo Builds Out Its U.S. Footprint

With the regulatory cloud gone, Ondo is preparing to expand. The firm recently acquired Oasis Pro, a broker-dealer and ATS operator that also holds transfer agent status, giving Ondo a fully regulated setup for bringing tokenized securities to U.S. investors.

The market reacted quickly. ONDO rose 6.12% to $0.4879 after the news surfaced.

Looking Ahead

Ondo plans to reveal the next phase of its roadmap at the Ondo Summit in New York on February 3, 2026, where regulators, policymakers, and major TradFi players will weigh in on the future of onchain finance.
