Ostium Expands Blockchain-Based Trading to Traditional Markets

Ostium, a blockchain-based platform, has emerged as a significant player in the tokenized real-world assets (RWA) segment. The company's innovative approach to trading traditional assets on-chain has resonated with traders, particularly those who have traditionally focused on crypto-native assets.

The CEO of Ostium, Kaledora Fontana Kiernan-Linn, attributes the company's success in 2025 to a structural shift in the market. With the rise of macro volatility and changing user behavior, traditional financial instruments are being integrated into blockchain technology. This has created a new paradigm for traders who seek to capitalize on cross-asset derivatives.

The CEO highlights that Ostium's model is built around the idea of connecting traditional financial markets with blockchain infrastructure. This approach allows for transparent and credible trading experiences, reducing discretionary counterparty risk. As a result, users can trade across multiple asset classes in size, without leaving the on-chain environment.
