Personal news: I’m joining @GSR_io as Head of Content and Special Projects. I’ve covered crypto since 2017, always drawn to market structure and how institutions shape this space. What started with bitcoin futures has evolved into a truly institutional market with real liquidity, access, and regulatory clarity. Now I get to help tell that story from the inside.

.@Ondo CEO Ian deBode hinted at model portfolios when he joined the podcast earlier this year, months before today’s announcement with BlackRock. Ondo Intelligent Portfolios packages professionally designed investment strategies into single onchain tokens, with the first three portfolios based on strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo. It fits into a broader theme we’ve discussed: onchain rails can expand access to investment products and tools that have historically been available primarily to wealthy investors, making them accessible globally.

Ehhh this is like $174M across multiple chains and cold/hot wallets sent to 0x770b10b273fC44Fe9197D6bF20F145c2e98463Ee over the past hour.
Think @bitget hot wallet might’ve just been hacked for 20M? something hella fishy happening on @arbitrum Fresh wallet 0xe410…d946 just bought 7,111 ETH on Arbitrum in 6 min with 19.67M USDT0 (from a Bitget hot wallet), via UniswapX + 1inch Fusion, paying up to +5% over spot WETH/USDC pool hit $2,870 which makes no sense if someone was just trying to buy eth That’s just arb chain

The Ondo x BlackRock tie-up is a good example of DeFi x TradFi convergence. The pitch is to combine the strengths of both: institutional portfolio construction, diversification and deep public-market liquidity from TradFi, with 24/7 transferability, self-custody, transparency and composability from DeFi. higher
Introducing Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, the first three portfolios powered by BlackRock. Ondo Intelligent Portfolios introduces a new onchain product category: curated investment portfolios delivered as single onchain transferable tokens. The first three portfolios are based on portfolio strategies developed by BlackRock for Ondo, marking the first time eligible onchain investors can access exposure to such strategies through a single token. 1. BLKHIon: Ondo High Income Powered by BlackRock 2. BLKDIGon: Ondo Diversified Growth Powered by BlackRock 3. BLKGRWon: Ondo High Growth Powered by BlackRock Diversified, professionally constructed strategies have historically required brokerage accounts and traditional fund structures. Now, delivered as peer-to-peer transferable tokens from Ondo, these onchain portfolios become accessible to eligible non-US investors in permitted jurisdictions through the wallets, exchanges, and DeFi applications they already use. “Tokenization creates new ways for portfolio strategies to be delivered through digital infrastructure. Diversified portfolio strategies can be incorporated into tokenized investment products, enabling eligible investors to access diversified allocations through a single instrument. It shows how established portfolio construction approaches can be delivered through new channels and technologies.” - Lisa O’Connor, Global Head of the Model Portfolio Solutions team and Co-CIO for Global Solutions within the Multi-Asset Strategies group at BlackRock Ondo Intelligent Portfolios can unlock novel capabilities: → Programmatic rebalancing → Full composability with DeFi → Complete transparency onchain → Multiple asset classes in a single token This is just the start for Ondo Intelligent Portfolios. The infrastructure is now in place for leading financial institutions to bring their asset allocation expertise onchain.
