Onchain Stocks Are Now Live on Glider, Powered by Ondo Finance

For the first time, you can build a fully automated investment portfolio of tokenized stocks, available to anyone, anywhere in the world.

For decades, investing in stocks meant accepting someone else's rules. You picked from funds that were built for the average investor, weighted by someone else's formula, with fees attached whether you liked it or not. The idea of building your own portfolio with your own stocks, your own allocations, rebalancing automatically, was reserved for institutions with the infrastructure to support it.

That changes today.

Glider has launched onchain stocks powered by Ondo Finance, bringing every tokenized stock directly into Glider's automated portfolio engine. $TSLAon, $NVDAon, $SPYon, $GOOGLon and more are now available to build with. No brokerage account required, no geographic restrictions, no intermediary standing between you and your assets.

What are tokenized stocks?

Tokenized stocks are onchain representations of real-world equities. Each token tracks the price of the underlying stock and is backed by Ondo Finance, one of the leading real-world asset protocols in the world. They trade onchain like any other asset but behave like the stocks you already know, giving you direct exposure to companies like Tesla, Nvidia and Google from your own wallet.

If you want to invest in stocks onchain, tokenized stocks are the most direct and accessible way to do it today. You get the same price exposure as owning the underlying equity, with all the benefits that come with holding assets onchain.

What Glider adds on top

Owning a tokenized stock is one thing. Building an automated, self-rebalancing portfolio of them is another entirely.

On Glider, you choose the stocks you want, set your allocations and Glider handles everything from there. No gas, no signing, no manually rebalancing when prices shift. The portfolio runs itself, maintaining your target allocations automatically around the clock.

You can build a tech-heavy portfolio with $NVDAon and $TSLAon, a broad market portfolio with $SPYon, or mix stocks with crypto and stablecoins in a single automated strategy. The building blocks are yours to combine however you want.

Every tokenized stock is non-custodial. Your assets sit in your own smart wallet and nothing is commingled or managed on your behalf. Glider executes your strategy and you own the assets directly. If you want to learn more about how Glider's non-custodial portfolio engine works, you can read more in our Buy/Sell on Glider post.

Available to anyone, anywhere in the world

94% of Glider's users are outside the United States. For many of them, access to US equities has historically been limited, expensive, restricted or simply unavailable through traditional brokers.

The ability to invest in stocks onchain changes that entirely. Someone in Nigeria, Indonesia or Vietnam can now build an investment portfolio containing Nvidia stock, auto-rebalancing on a weekly schedule, without a brokerage account or a US bank. For a deeper look at how Glider is expanding onchain access globally, read about our Solana launch and the broader vision behind it.

This is what permissionless investing actually looks like in practice.
