$93 Million Casually Misappropriated? The Truth Behind the Stream Finance Collapse

marsbitPublished on 2025-12-17Last updated on 2025-12-17

Abstract

Stream Finance, a DeFi yield protocol with over $200M TVL, collapsed on November 4, 2025, after announcing a $93M loss caused by an "external fund manager." Its stablecoin xUSD plummeted 77%, triggering a $285M contagion across lending protocols like Morpho and Euler, leading to a $1B DeFi outflow. Initially blamed on "Curator" risk managers, the truth emerged from a December 8 lawsuit: founder Caleb McMeans had transferred protocol control to trader Ryan DeMattia with "no formal relationship." On October 10, DeMattia’s personal leveraged positions were liquidated during an ETH crash, and he allegedly used Stream’s funds to cover his losses—weeks before the Balancer hack (November 3) was falsely cited as the cause. The disaster was amplified by xUSD’s recursive lending structure but rooted in unregulated, off-chain asset control without multisig or custody safeguards. The incident highlights DeFi’s vulnerability to opaque operations and personal misconduct, not systemic failure of Curator models or yield strategies.

November 4, 2025, marked a "Black Tuesday" for the DeFi world.

Stream Finance, a yield aggregation protocol with a TVL that once exceeded $200 million and was touted as "The SuperApp DeFi Deserves," suddenly announced that an "external fund manager" had caused approximately $93 million in losses, and all deposit and withdrawal functions were suspended effective immediately.

Upon the news, its issued "stablecoin" xUSD flash-crashed from $1 to $0.26, a 77% drop in 24 hours. More critically, xUSD was widely used as collateral in major lending protocols like Morpho, Euler, Silo, and Gearbox—one bomb detonated, causing severe shockwaves throughout the DeFi lending market.

According to statistics from DeFi research firm Yields And More (YAM), Stream-related debt exposure reached a staggering $285 million:

  • Elixir's deUSD, which had lent 65% of its reserves (about $68 million USDC) to Stream, directly announced its closure. Its price plummeted from $1 to $0.015, nearly zero.

  • Compound suspended its USDC/USDS/USDT markets.

  • Euler froze related liquidity pools.

  • Morpho incurred bad debt.

Within a week, the DeFi market saw a net outflow of about $1 billion. Some compared this to the "Terra moment of 2025," Aave founder Stani Kulechov even warned on social media: "The next Terra Luna might be brewing."

I happened to be researching Curator in depth recently, and because of the Stream Finance incident, Curator was pushed into the spotlight. So I looked into the sequence of events to help everyone understand the full picture as much as possible.

Scapegoat: How Did Curator End Up Taking the Blame?

After the incident, public criticism quickly pointed to one role: Curator.

How was this blame shifted? Looking back at Stream's official statement on November 4th, the loss was caused by an "external fund manager."

This wording easily brings to mind the Curator role in DeFi lending protocols like Morpho and Euler—those "curators" responsible for managing liquidity pools and setting risk parameters.

The chain reaction following Stream's collapse made this narrative seem even more "confirmed":

On November 6th, Lista DAO urgently initiated a governance vote to force liquidate Vaults managed by MEV Capital and Re7 Labs—borrowing rates had soared to 800%, and the borrowers showed no signs of repayment. Re7 Labs subsequently issued a statement admitting it had an exposure of about $14.65 million in its xUSD isolated vault on Euler.

Top Curators' Vaults collectively exploding, emergency votes for forced liquidation—wasn't this a Curator problem?

BlockBeats published a widely circulated article after the event titled "DeFi's Potential $8 Billion Bomb, Only $100 Million Has Exploded So Far," attributing the collapse to "external Curators using user funds for opaque off-chain transactions" and characterizing it as a "systemic crisis of the Curator model."

Meanwhile, another "coincidence" made things even more mysterious—just one day before Stream's collapse (November 3rd), Balancer was hacked, losing approximately $128 million.

Thus, the mainstream narrative became: Curators misappropriated client funds for high-risk strategies, invested in Balancer, Balancer got hacked, money was lost, the Curator model is unreliable.

But there's a key question here: Was Curator really the core cause behind Stream's collapse?

It wasn't until December 8th, when court documents were made public, that we got a glimpse of the full picture.

The Truth Emerges: A Different Story Revealed by Court Documents

On December 8th, Stream Trading Corp. (the original Stream founding team) filed a lawsuit in San Francisco Federal Court against Caleb McMeans (online alias 0xlaw) and Ryan DeMattia.

This lawsuit revealed a completely different story.

Project Handover: A "Acquisition" Without Cash

According to a detailed report by DL News on the court documents:

In February 2024, Argentine crypto investor Diogenes Casares founded the Stream Protocol. In April of the same year, the project completed a $1.5 million seed round led by Polychain, with a valuation of $20 million.

However, after just 9 months of operation, by November 2024, the founding team decided to shut down the project due to "operational challenges."

At that moment, trader Caleb McMeans appeared. He proposed acquiring Stream, presenting himself as an "expert in managing complex yield strategies."

In January 2025, both parties signed an agreement:

  • McMeans gained full control of the protocol, including all on-chain transactions, off-chain business agreements, and user deposit management rights.

  • In exchange, he would pay the original team a 35% fee share and promised to "fully transparently disclose the deployment locations of the funds."

Note: This was not a cash acquisition—McMeans did not pay money to buy the protocol but signed a "I operate, you get fees" agreement. The original team retained the role of service provider for the smart contracts, website, and token.

Out-of-Control Assets: $90+ Million Handed to Someone with "No Formal Relationship"

The problem arose after McMeans took over. According to the lawsuit, he handed over more than $90 million in protocol assets to a person named Ryan DeMattia for off-chain management.

Who is DeMattia? The lawsuit's description is quite subtle: McMeans initially called him an "employee" but later admitted to having "no formal relationship" with DeMattia.

No formal relationship, yet he gave this person control over $90+ million in off-chain assets. Outrageous?

It gets even more outrageous.

Laptop Destroyed in a Car Crash

In September 2025, the original founding team began demanding more transparency from McMeans, wanting to know where the funds were. McMeans' response was "continuous delays and excuses."

When the team pressed DeMattia, his response was even more spectacular—direct quote from the lawsuit:

"DeMattia offered a series of patently false excuses for why he could not provide any further information, even claiming at one point that his laptop had been destroyed in a car crash."

The creativity of this excuse is perhaps only matched by "my dog ate my homework."

The lawsuit continues, stating that McMeans at the time advised the original team to "stop asking questions and just trust DeMattia."

October 10th: Personal Liquidation, Misappropriation to Cover Losses

Then, October 10th arrived.

On that day, the price of ETH plummeted 21%, setting a record for the largest single-day liquidation in crypto history, with approximately $20 billion in positions liquidated. The lawsuit describes:

"But upon information and belief, on October 10, 2025, Mr. DeMattia faced a margin call on a personal loan for which he lacked sufficient funds to cover, had his position liquidated, and then used Stream Protocol assets to which he had access to cover his loss."

Translation: DeMattia's own leveraged position was liquidated, he didn't have money to cover the margin call, so he顺手 used Stream's money to fill the hole.

On November 2nd, DeMattia finally "confessed." According to DL News:

"On November 2, he admitted he had lost 'nearly all' of the Stream protocol assets under his control, which were worth about $93 million at the time."

Timeline Mismatch: Balancer Was Just a Smokescreen

Please note this date: November 2nd.

When was Balancer hacked? November 3rd.

If Stream's $93 million was lost in the Balancer hack, the loss should have occurred on November 3rd. But DeMattia admitted on November 2nd that it was "all lost"—the timeline doesn't match.

More crucial evidence: The lawsuit points out that McMeans deleted "all private Discord communication records with DeMattia since October 10th"—exactly the day DeMattia is believed to have started misappropriating funds.

If the loss was truly due to an external event like the Balancer hack, why delete chat records starting from October 10th?

The answer becomes clear: The Balancer hack was likely just a "convenient coincidence," used to divert attention, confuse the timeline, and provide a "force majeure" smokescreen for internal misappropriation.

BlockEden's analysis report also corroborates this: "No evidence of a smart contract hack or exploit has been found."

Essence: Personal Misappropriation, Amateurish Operation

So, was this collapse caused by a systemic failure of the Curator model, or blatant amateurish behavior leading to personal misappropriation of assets?

The lawsuit provides a clear answer: This was personal misappropriation.

DeMattia was not a professional Curator institution; he was an off-chain trader privately hired by McMeans, with "no formal relationship" to the protocol. He was given actual control over $90+ million, with no custody segregation, no multi-signature protection, no on-chain verifiability—when his personal position was liquidated, he directly used users' money to fill his own hole.

The Amplifier: How xUSD Recursive Lending Blew the Hole Wider

This personal misappropriation led to a collapse that, due to xUSD's recursive lending strategy, blew a $285 million hole.

If Stream were just a simple custody protocol, DeMattia misappropriating $93 million would have resulted in at most a $93 million loss. But because xUSD was designed to be a "yield-enhanced stablecoin" that could circulate, be used as collateral, and be re-borrowed across various protocols, this $93 million hole spread like a virus through DeFi's composability, infecting the entire ecosystem.

Recursive lending was not the cause of the disaster, but it was the amplifier of its scale.

Yearn developer Schlag had warned before the collapse: "Using the same 1.9 million USDC, they minted about 14.5 million xUSD"—a 7.6x capital amplification. When the underlying assets failed, this multiplier became an accelerator of destruction.

When the underlying assets (the $93 million held by Stream) disappeared, the entire recursive lending structure instantly collapsed, inflating the debt exposure from $93 million to $285 million.

Conclusion: Review, Reflection, and the Future

Let's梳理 (organize) the complete chain of this collapse:

Starting Point: The Stream Finance project "sold" the protocol to trader McMeans, who then handed $93 million in user assets to DeMattia, with whom he had "no formal relationship," for off-chain management.

Trigger: ETH price crashed on October 10th, DeMattia's personal position was liquidated, and he directly misappropriated Stream's funds to cover his losses.

Amplifier: The xUSD recursive lending structure amplified the $93 million hole into a $285 million debt exposure, infecting the entire DeFi lending market.

Smokescreen: Balancer was hacked for $128 million on November 3rd, becoming the perfect excuse to divert attention—even though DeMattia had already admitted the loss on November 2nd.

Scapegoat: Public opinion pointed the finger at the Curator model, ignoring the real problem of personal misappropriation.

What is the essence of this collapse?

Not a failure of the Curator model

In protocols like Morpho and Euler, Curators have defined boundaries—they can set risk parameters, adjust collateral ratios, decide which assets to accept, but cannot directly transfer user funds. User assets deposited into Vaults are locked in smart contracts; Curators cannot move them.

The problem with the Curators pushed into the spotlight was "negligence": accepting problematic assets like xUSD as collateral without conducting thorough due diligence.

Not the original sin of recursive lending strategy

Recursive borrowing itself is just a tool to amplify returns and risks. Used well, it's efficient capital operation; used poorly, it's suicidal leverage. Stream's recursive lending amplified the scale of the disaster but was not its cause.

The real problem is: One person could control tens of millions of user assets without any constraints

  • No custody segregation

  • No multi-signature protection

  • No on-chain verifiable fund flow

  • No compliance audits whatsoever

  • Not even a formal employment contract

This is the most primitive betrayal of trust—handing money to a person, and that person taking it away.

This is also the current state of the DeFi industry: Amateurish operations are rampant, and regulation is absent. A DeFi protocol can be casually "transferred," user funds can be casually misappropriated, and there are no real institutional constraints at any step of the entire process.

But crisis often breeds turning points.

The Stream collapse is forcing the industry to mature. As regulatory frameworks and legislation continue to be refined and implemented, more transparent, compliant, and professional protocols and service providers represent the real future opportunity for this industry.

Related Questions

QWhat was the main reason behind the $93 million loss at Stream Finance according to the lawsuit filed by the original team?

AAccording to the lawsuit filed by Stream Trading Corp., the $93 million loss was primarily due to personal misappropriation of funds by Ryan DeMattia, who used Stream Protocol assets to cover his personal trading losses after his leveraged positions were liquidated during the ETH price crash on October 10, 2025.

QHow did the xUSD stablecoin and its looping strategy amplify the impact of the initial $93 million loss?

AThe xUSD stablecoin was designed as a 'yield-enhanced' stablecoin that could be used as collateral for recursive lending across multiple DeFi protocols like Morpho, Euler, and Silo. This looping strategy amplified the initial $93 million loss into a total debt exposure of $285 million, as the collapse of the underlying asset caused the entire leveraged structure to fail simultaneously.

QWhy was the Balancer hack on November 3rd not the actual cause of Stream's collapse, despite initial narratives?

AThe Balancer hack on November 3rd could not have been the cause because Ryan DeMattia had already admitted to losing 'nearly all' of the $93 million in assets under his control on November 2nd, one day before the Balancer exploit. The timing discrepancy and the hack were likely used as a convenient excuse to obscure the true cause, which was internal misappropriation.

QWhat critical failures in Stream Finance's operational structure allowed this misappropriation to occur?

ACritical failures included: no custody isolation of user funds, no multi-signature protection for asset movements, no on-chain verifiability of fund flows, lack of formal compliance audits, and most notably, entrusting over $90 million to an individual (Ryan DeMattia) with whom the operator (Caleb McMeans) had 'no formal relationship' and no official employment contract.

QDid the lawsuit reveal that the problem was fundamentally a failure of the Curator model or something else?

AThe lawsuit revealed that the problem was not a fundamental failure of the Curator model used in protocols like Morpho or Euler. Instead, it was a case of primitive trust betrayal and irresponsible personal mismanagement. The actual Curators in question were guilty of negligence (e.g., accepting xUSD as collateral without proper due diligence), but they did not have the ability to directly misappropriate user funds, which are locked in smart contracts.

Bitwise: Bullish on Bitcoin's Performance in the Second Half of the Year, AI and Regulation Will Spark a New Altcoin Season

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan and Research Lead Ryan Rasmussen express strong bullish sentiment on Bitcoin's long-term prospects, suggesting that its $1 million price target may be too conservative. They argue Bitcoin serves a dual role: as digital gold and a potential global settlement asset, especially amid declining trust in traditional monetary systems. Despite a weak Q1 2026 where nearly all crypto assets and prices saw double-digit declines, the analysts remain optimistic due to strong forward-looking catalysts, including institutional adoption via Bitcoin ETFs from major firms like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. Geopolitical instability, such as Iran’s mention of using Bitcoin for international payments, increases the value of Bitcoin’s “out-of-the-money call option” as a non-political, global settlement currency. This enhances its appeal beyond a mere store of value. . Additionally, Hougan highlights that a clearer regulatory token framework under current SEC leadership, combined with AI efficiency gains and high-performance blockchains, could fuel a new “altseason” by late 2026. This may lead to a wave of legitimate, value-capturing token projects, unlike the earlier ICO boom. . Bitwise also announced an Avalanche ETF, citing its unique architecture and rapid growth in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which has surged 10x to nearly $30 billion in two years. The firm believes Layer 1 blockchains are still early in their growth cycle, with significant potential ahead.

Bitcoin Rally To Near $80K Fuels Sharp Sentiment Rebound Across Crypto Markets

Bitcoin's recent rally towards $80,000 has driven a significant rebound in crypto market sentiment, with the Fear & Greed Index jumping 14 points to 46—its highest level since January. Analysts note that over 300,000 BTC have shifted from short-term to long-term holders in the past month, signaling stronger investor conviction. However, the rally appears largely driven by perpetual futures speculation rather than spot market demand, raising concerns about sustainability. Retail participation also remains subdued, limiting further sentiment gains. While entities like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) continue accumulating BTC, weak spot interest could lead to a price correction if profit-taking occurs.

Intel Soars 20%, CPUs Return to Center Stage in the Agent Era

Intel's stock surged 20% after reporting exceptional Q1 2026 results, with revenue of $13.6 billion (up 7% YoY) and non-GAAP EPS of $0.29, beating expectations by 29x. The rebound is driven by the resurgence of CPUs in the AI era, particularly as workloads shift from training to inference and agent-based applications. Intel’s Data Center and AI (DCAI) division hit a record $5.1 billion in revenue, up 22% YoY, marking a U-shaped recovery since mid-2025. The growth is attributed to strong demand for Xeon 6 "Granite Rapids" processors and increased AI infrastructure refresh cycles. While NVIDIA and AMD dominated the AI training phase, Intel is benefiting from the focus on AI agents, where CPU performance becomes critical—accounting for 50-90% of workflow latency in agent orchestration. This shift, coupled with management changes and strategic refocus on CPUs (including canceling the Falcon Shores GPU project), has repositioned Intel. New CEO Lip-Bu Tan emphasized that CPUs are re-establishing themselves as essential infrastructure in the AI era.

Tether Cooperates with U.S. Sanctions to Freeze $344 Million in USDT, Reigniting Debate Over Stablecoin 'One-Click Freeze Authority'

Tether, the issuer of USDT, has frozen over $344 million worth of USDT across two Tron blockchain addresses in its largest-ever single compliance action. The freeze was carried out on April 23 in coordination with the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and other law enforcement agencies. The funds are suspected to be linked to sanctions evasion, criminal networks, or other illicit activities, though specific details were not disclosed. This action comes amid increased U.S. regulatory scrutiny, including sanctions against entities tied to Iran and Mexican drug cartels. Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, emphasized the company’s commitment to preventing illegal use of USDT, contrasting it with slower responses from competitors like Circle. To date, Tether has frozen over $4.4 billion in assets and collaborates with more than 340 law enforcement agencies across 65 countries. The move has reignited debate within the crypto community over the centralized "freeze authority" held by stablecoin issuers, challenging the notion that "your stablecoins are your own." Critics point to the built-in blacklist function in USDT’s smart contracts, which allows Tether to immobilize funds in targeted wallets, while proponents argue it enhances regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering efforts.

Salesforce Tokenized Stock (Ondo): Revolutionising Traditional Equity Access Through Blockchain Innovation The emergence of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) marks a pivotal advancement in integrating traditional financial markets with blockchain technology. This innovative approach offers investors unprecedented access to equity exposure through tokenisation. Developed by Ondo Finance, CRMON provides tokenholders with economic exposure equivalent to holding Salesforce stock (CRM) while automatically reinvesting dividends. This effectively bridges the gap between conventional equity markets and decentralised finance (DeFi). Introduction and Comprehensive Overview of Salesforce Tokenized Stock In recent years, the financial landscape has dramatically transformed due to blockchain technology, fundamentally altering how investors access and interact with traditional assets. The development of Salesforce Tokenized Stock (CRMON) is a prime example of this evolution, representing a sophisticated fusion of conventional equity markets with cutting-edge distributed ledger technology. CRMON is a tokenised version of Salesforce stock, emerging from the innovative work of Ondo Finance, a leading platform in the real-world asset tokenisation sector that positions itself as a bridge between traditional finance and decentralised systems. Designed to provide tokenholders with economic exposure that mirrors the performance of the underlying Salesforce stock, CRMON incorporates automatic dividend reinvestment mechanisms. This eliminates many traditional barriers associated with international equity investment, such as complex brokerage relationships, currency conversion challenges, and restricted trading hours. The tokenisation process reimagines stock ownership as a blockchain-native asset while maintaining its economic equivalence with the underlying security, offering enhanced portability and integration capabilities within decentralised finance ecosystems. CRMON transcends its individual utility as an investment instrument to represent a fundamental shift in how financial markets can operate in an increasingly digital world. By maintaining full backing through U.S.-registered broker-dealers and implementing robust compliance frameworks, CRMON demonstrates that tokenised securities can achieve the regulatory standards necessary for institutional adoption while delivering the technological advantages of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding Tokenized Real-World Assets and CRMON's Strategic Position Tokenised real-world assets signify one of the most significant innovations in modern finance, fundamentally reimagining how traditional securities are represented, traded, and utilised within digital ecosystems. CRMON operates as a tokenised equity instrument correlating directly with Salesforce stock while optimising accessibility and efficiency. This aligns with Ondo Finance's broader mission to democratise access to institutional-grade financial products through innovative tokenisation strategies. The tokenisation process guarantees complete economic equivalence with the underlying Salesforce equity. Each CRMON token represents a proportional claim on Salesforce stock held by qualified custodians, with dividend payments automatically reinvested to maintain continuous exposure to total return performance. This structure simplifies dividend management and ensures that tokenholders receive the full economic benefit of their equity exposure, encompassing both capital appreciation and income generation. Ondo Finance's strategy in tokenising Salesforce stock demonstrates its expertise in creating compliant, institutional-grade products that meet traditional financial markets' stringent requirements. The platform’s focus on merging regulatory compliance with blockchain benefits positions it at the forefront of decentralised finance, captivating both institutional and retail investors seeking blockchain-native solutions. The Technology and Innovation Framework Behind CRMON The technological infrastructure supporting CRMON integrates blockchain technology with traditional financial mechanisms, delivering institutional-grade security and compliance while maintaining the operational advantages of decentralised systems. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, CRMON utilises robust smart contract capabilities to ensure transparent, secure operations. The smart contract architecture incorporates layered security and compliance mechanisms, enabling automated compliance checks and real-time asset backing verification. Integration with oracle services maintains accurate pricing and dividend information, ensuring CRMON reflects the underlying Salesforce stock's accurate performance. This architecture delivers automated dividend reinvestments and other corporate actions, eliminating manual processing requirements and directly enhancing tokenholder benefits. Ondo Finance ensures CRMON's security structure includes daily third-party verification of holdings, independent collateral agents, and a multiple-layer custody system through partnerships with established financial institutions. This framework safeguards tokenholder interests against operational risks while providing robust asset backing. The user interface enhances integration capabilities, allowing seamless interaction between CRMON and various decentralised finance protocols, as well as cryptocurrency exchanges. This interoperability enables users to leverage their tokenised equity across multiple platforms, creating sophisticated investment strategies that marry traditional equity characteristics with blockchain-native innovation. Leadership and Corporate Structure of Ondo Finance The leadership team behind CRMON and Ondo Finance blends expertise from traditional finance and blockchain technology, presenting a robust combination of skills essential for successfully bridging conventional markets with decentralised finance. Nathan Allman, the founder and CEO, emerged from a distinguished financial background before establishing Ondo Finance in 2021. Allman's experience includes notable roles at major financial institutions, including significant contributions to developing cryptocurrency market services. His insights into regulatory compliance were paramount in developing products like CRMON that successfully unify traditional securities with blockchain technology. With a team of professionals boasting substantial experience in both conventional finance and blockchain sectors, Ondo Finance's leadership comprises diverse expertise that covers every aspect of tokenised asset development. Justin Schmidt serves as President and COO, contributing unique operational expertise, while Chris Tyrell brings essential compliance knowledge. Investment Landscape and Funding History The investment landscape surrounding Ondo Finance reflects significant institutional confidence in its mission to tokenise real-world assets. The company has raised substantial funds through various investment rounds, attracting leading venture capital firms and strategic investors that recognise the transformative potential of tokenised securities like CRMON. Notably, Ondo Finance completed a successful Series A funding round in 2022, led by well-known venture capital firms. This funding success validates Ondo Finance's innovative approach to creating compliant, institutional-grade tokenised products. In total, Ondo Finance has successfully secured substantial funding, raising significant capital for product development and market expansion, including a noteworthy token sale that reinforced its governance structure through the establishment of the ONDO token. The diverse composition of investors reflects broad market confidence in Ondo Finance's business model, demonstrating support from both traditional and blockchain-native organisations. Operational Mechanics and Technical Implementation The operational framework supporting CRMON exemplifies sophisticated integration of traditional financial mechanisms with blockchain technology. The technical implementation introduces multiple layers of security, compliance, and operational efficiency to meet institutional standards while enhancing accessibility. The tokenisation process begins by acquiring actual Salesforce stock through U.S.-registered broker-dealers, ensuring each CRMON token maintains direct correlation with the underlying equity performance. Smart contracts automate operational processes, including dividend reinvestment and corporate action processing, facilitating a streamlined user experience. The Minting and redemption processes allow authorised participants to manage CRMON tokens effectively. During U.S. trading hours, institutions can mint new tokens by depositing stablecoins that are used to purchase corresponding Salesforce equity. This structure maintains a tight correlation with underlying assets, enhancing liquidity and price discovery. Additionally, the infrastructure supports twenty-four-hour token transfer capabilities, providing CRMON holders with operations outside traditional market hours. This represents a significant advantage over conventional securities ownership, thus promoting integration with decentralised finance applications. Plans for cross-chain compatibility through partnerships signal further ambitions for CRMON's market reach. By expanding to other blockchain networks, Ondo Finance aims to enhance accessibility and user engagement with tokenised equity products.
