Ondo Finance Becomes Second-Largest Application on Stellar Network Body: Ondo Finance has reportedly climbed to become the second-largest application on the Stellar blockchain by total value locked (TVL). The milestone reflects increasing adoption of tokenized financial products and growing interest in real-world asset initiatives. According to recent figures, the platform’s TVL has expanded significantly over the past month, highlighting strong investor demand. Ondo has emerged as a major player in the tokenization sector by connecting traditional financial instruments with blockchain infrastructure. Stellar’s ecosystem has also benefited from the growth, attracting additional attention from developers and institutional participants. The achievement underscores the expanding role of decentralized finance platforms that focus on regulated and yield-generating products. Industry observers view the development as another sign of growing convergence between traditional finance and blockchain technology.
