Ondo Finance hires former Blockchain.com CFO Adam Schlisman
Ondo Finance has appointed former Blockchain.com CFO Adam Schlisman to lead its financial operations as the firm scales its tokenized real-world asset platform. The company currently manages over $3.5 billion in assets, including tokenized U.S. Treasuries and stocks.
Why it matters
This move signals the transition of tokenized financial assets from niche crypto experiments to institutional-grade infrastructure.
Schlisman joins from global macro hedge fund Monashee Investment Management, where he served as CFO.
Before that, he was chief financial officer at Blockchain.com, overseeing finance, treasury and risk during a period of rapid growth. Earlier in his career, he spent nearly a decade at Graham Capital Management in portfolio management and risk roles.
Founded in 2021 by former Goldman Sachs executives, Ondo is one of the largest tokenized real-world asset platforms, offering blockchain-based U.S. Treasuries and stocks with more than $3.5 billion across its products.
Tokenization has emerged as one of crypto's fastest-growing sectors as Wall Street firms race to bring traditional financial assets onto blockchain rails. Banks, asset managers and crypto-native firms are increasingly issuing tokenized versions of Treasuries, money market funds, private credit and equities, betting the technology can reduce settlement times, improve market access and unlock round-the-clock trading.
