We’re excited to announce that Ondo has launched the first tokenized stock representations based on DTC tokenized entitlements to DTC-held securities generated through the DTCC Tokenization Service. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) is the premier post-trade market infrastructure for the U.S. securities markets, processing approximately USD 4.7 quadrillion in securities transactions in 2025. Ondo joins DTCC’s largest tokenization initiative to date alongside BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Nasdaq, & NYSE. How the landmark issuance works: 1. The DTCC Tokenization Service enables the recording of DTC tokenized entitlements (also referred to as digital twins) to DTC-held securities such as CRCL and SPY, which can be delivered to DTC Participant wallets for use in connection with customers such as Ondo. 2. In our case, the DTC tokenized entitlements associated with CRCL and SPY serve as digital twins of the securities underlying existing CRCLon and SPYon Ondo Stocks. 3. DTC-held securities can be converted between traditional and tokenized forms, enabling greater flexibility, access to new liquidity opportunities, and additional digital asset use cases. 4. That additional functionality can enhance the utility of assets such as CRCLon and SPYon (Ondo Stocks) held across Ondo’s global partner network of exchanges, wallets, & DeFi platforms. Ondo Finance CEO Ian De Bode on what comes next: “As tokenized securities markets continue to evolve, Ondo expects to play a leading role in bringing these assets onchain for investors.”

AVA WEEKLY UPDATE (30 May-5 June) Welcome to this week’s $AVA and market update! MARKET UPDATE The top stories from the broader market: 🥊 Trump-Musk Feud: @elonmusk and @realDonaldTrump have entered into a heated @X debate stemming from continuing disagreements about the US budget bill. The feud culminated in Musk accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files and claiming that Trump should be impeached. The @Tesla share price plummeted more than 14% following the tweets. 📈 Circle Begins Trading: @circle (CRCL) shares opened trading on Thursday at about $69 and closed at $83 on the first day of trading — a 167% increase following the IPO price of $31. The question now turns to whether CRCL can maintain positive momentum without following in the footsteps of Coinbase’s IPO in 2021, which opened at $381 and fell to below $200 within a month before falling to lows of around $33 at the beginning of 2023. 🚗 Uber Considering Stablecoins: The @Uber CEO revealed at the Bloomberg Tech Summit that the company is exploring the use of stablecoins as a payment method, citing that stablecoins have “a practical benefit other than crypto as a store of value”. The CEO has commented on the potential of cryptocurrencies before, stating back in 2021 that Uber may accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies if there is sufficient demand and benefit to the company. --- KEY UPDATES In this week’s round-up of $AVA news: 🗳️ AVA+ Rewards Perk Proposal: Voting for the new perk is open until 10 June! 🏦 Monthly Buyback: 153,288 AVA was repurchased as part of the Monthly AVA Buyback for April 2025. 📊 Monthly Report: View the May monthly report with key AVA Smart Program and @travalacom stats! 💻 Job Opening: We’re hiring a new Lead Growth Contributor to join the team! --- WEEKLY METRICS Below are the key $AVA metrics from the last 7 days: 💼 Total AVA holders (Travala + on-chain): 40,824 (+0.33%) 🤝 Total AVA Smart Program members: 66,246 (+1.22%) 🔒 Total AVA locked in the AVA Smart Program: 9,368,050 (+0.15%) 💰 AVA givebacks last 7 days: 29,959 AVA worth $16,119 (-5.06%) 🛍 Total saved via Smart discounts last 7 days: $5,722 (-21.31%) ✈️ # of room nights & flights booked with AVA last 7 days: 201 (+22.56%) 💱 $ value of AVA travel bookings last 7 days: $53,145 (+10.77%) 🔗 Link: https://t.co/h7SaWI4ruN
