Fidelity unit joins as validator for Ondo stock bridge

Ondo Finance announced Fidelity Center for Applied Technology has joined the Ondo bridge as a required validator for cross-chain transfers of tokenized stocks. FCAT’s Decentralized Validator Network will validate all 35 Ondo stocks transferred to HyperEVM, along with roughly 450 assets across other networks. Ondo Finance said the bridge became the first institutional platform to adopt FCAT’s Decentralized Validator Network through LayerZero (ZRO) in February 2026, and has now expanded that validation standard to Ondo stocks.
