The memo
REJECTED ON ACCESS AND ON A DERIVATIVE, NOT SHARE-OWNERSHIP, STRUCTURE. This memo covers Ondo Global Markets (BVI) Limited's offshore "Ondo Stocks" product ("xxxon" tickers such as TSLAon and HOODON) — a separate legal product from Ondo Finance's OUSG/USDY treasury tokens, already covered elsewhere in this registry, and separate again from Ondo's newer US onshore product built on Oasis Pro TA custody, which claims DTC-linked entitlements this offshore product does not. Ondo Stocks are structured notes that track a stock's total return, collateralized by securities held at US-registered broker-dealer custodians and independently attested by Ankura Trust — a real, disclosed collateral chain, but a derivative claim against a pool, not direct beneficial share ownership with voting rights or SIPC protection. US persons and orders placed from the US are explicitly and absolutely prohibited from subscribing, acquiring, or redeeming, which alone disqualifies this product for this registry's US mass-affluent client base. The issuer also retains "sole discretion" to block subscription, acquisition, or redemption for any perceived legal or regulatory concern, and no source confirmed whether that discretion is backed by an on-chain enforcement mechanism or relies purely on off-chain/legal enforcement.
What would reopen the file
- A US-eligible offering or share class opens to this registry's target client population
- The token contracts' freeze, blacklist, or force-redeem mechanism (or its absence) is independently confirmed from contract source rather than issuer discretion alone
- The SEC registration statement becomes effective, converting this from an offshore exempt offering into a reporting-company security
- Confirmation of whether the closed SEC investigation concerned this specific product
