Senior Event Manager, APAC - Ondo Finance

About Ondo Finance

Ondo Finance provides institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We operate both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We were the first company to tokenize exposure to US Treasuries and have since expanded into several other assets. We are also focused on incubating protocols that support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto.

Founded by alumni from Goldman Sachs's Digital Assets Team, we are backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, and Tiger Global. We are currently leaders in the space by AUM and are well-capitalized to continue growing the firm. We are a remote-first team with members across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC.
