ALL COLLATERAL

Borrow against ONDO

Teller pools accept ONDO as collateral on Ethereum at up to 28.6% LTV, lending USDC at 25% APR. Every loan is fixed-term with no margin-call, so a price fall during the loan cannot liquidate your collateral.

A loan against the token behind the tokenized shares

Teller pools on Ethereum take ONDO at 28.6% LTV and 25% APR. There is a neat symmetry here: Ondo issues the tokenized Apple, Tesla and NVIDIA shares that Teller also accepts as collateral, so both the governance token and the assets it stands behind borrow from the same matrix.

At 28.6%, ten thousand ONDO supports a loan of roughly the figure shown above in USDC.

Which token the pool holds

The ERC-20 at 0xfaba6f8e4a5e8ab82f62fe7c39859fa577269be3 on Ethereum, 18 decimals. That is the governance token, distinct from the tokenized securities Ondo issues, which carry their own tickers and their own pools with very different ceilings.

See the tokenized stocks page for those, where equity collateral earns some of the highest LTVs on the platform.

Ten billion in issue, and where that lands you

totalSupply on the governance contract answers 10,000,000,000 ONDO. That is ten times ApeCoin’s fixed billion and it sets the scale of the unit: a meaningful loan here is measured in tens or hundreds of thousands of tokens rather than in single digits, which is worth knowing before you check whether a wallet balance covers the collateral a given loan needs.

Read the figure yourself off the contract or any explorer. Supply is one of the few claims about a token that resolves without trusting the page you read it on.

Holding through a build-out

Real-world asset tokenization is a multi-year thesis, and the holders who believe it tend to be the ones who least want to sell into a dip for liquidity. A loan lets the position stay on while the cash comes out of it, and in the US borrowing is generally not the taxable disposal a sale would be.

The mechanics

Deposit ONDO, receive USDC, repay or roll on the due date. Rate, LTV and the roll window lock when the loan opens, and the protocol holds the collateral until you close it. No liquidation threshold exists in between, so a move during the term leaves the obligation exactly where it started and nothing needs topping up.

Miss the due date and the collateral is forfeit, so the risk you manage is a calendar rather than a chart. Pools run a 30-day payment cycle and add a 1% marketplace fee to the quoted rate. Budget for mainnet gas across the approval and the borrow.

Frequently asked questions

How many ONDO are there?

Ten billion, which totalSupply on the governance contract confirms. That scale means a meaningful loan is measured in tens or hundreds of thousands of tokens rather than single digits.

Is ONDO the same as Ondo's tokenized stocks?

No. ONDO is the governance token. The tokenized Apple, Tesla and NVIDIA shares Ondo issues carry their own tickers and their own Teller pools, at much higher collateral ceilings.

Can I borrow against ONDO without selling it?

Yes. Deposit ONDO as collateral and receive USDC against it. The position stays on, and in the US borrowing is generally not the taxable disposal a sale would be.

What happens if ONDO drops during my loan?

Nothing happens to the loan. There is no liquidation threshold during the term, so a move in either direction leaves your obligation on the due date exactly where it started.

What does an ONDO loan cost?

The quoted rate plus a 1% marketplace fee, and mainnet gas across the approval and the borrow. Pools run a 30-day payment cycle.

What do the ONDO pools lend?

USDC on Ethereum, delivered to the wallet that signed the borrow.
