Ondo Perps CEO Sees ‘Huge Opportunity’ in US Perpetuals Market

The significance is less about Ondo specifically than about a US-regulated venue openly weighing perpetuals, a product that has largely been pushed offshore. That framing matters for platforms already serving US users under tighter rules, since a domestically tailored contract could reset what compliance-viable leverage looks like. Wells stopped short of a launch, so the real signal is intent, not a product. Whether Ondo moves from exploring to filing — and how it would ring-fence US terms from its offshore offering — is the open question.
