PDD Holdings (Ondo Tokenized)Price

(PDDON)

No. PDDon is a "total-return tracker" tokenized on the blockchain. While it mirrors the price of PDD stock at a 1:1 ratio, it represents a digital claim backed by the stock rather than direct legal ownership of the shares. Consequently, PDDon holders do not receive voting rights in PDD Holdings. It serves as a bridge for crypto investors to gain exposure to the performance of the traditional stock market within a Web3 environment.

To ensure the token price stays in parity with PDD stock, a "mint and redeem" mechanism is utilized. If the market price of PDDon deviates from the underlying stock price, professional market participants can arbitrage the difference. They do this by minting new tokens or redeeming existing ones for stablecoins, effectively bringing the price back to its peg through supply and demand adjustments.

While PDDon is a blockchain asset that can be transferred between wallets 24/7, the processes of minting (creating) and redeeming (converting back to stablecoins) are tied to traditional financial systems. These specific actions can only occur during standard U.S. market hours, typically Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. However, once the tokens are in circulation, they can be traded on supported platforms at any time.

PDDon operates as a "total-return" token. This means that instead of receiving cash payments in your wallet, any dividends issued by PDD Holdings are automatically reinvested into more underlying shares after the necessary taxes are withheld. This process increases the net asset value (NAV) of each token over time. Essentially, the value of the dividend is reflected in the token's worth rather than being distributed as separate liquidity.

PDDon is legally classified as a tokenized security. To comply with international regulations and avoid the strict registration requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), it is issued under specific exemptions like "Regulation S." This legal framework prohibits the sale of these tokens to U.S. persons. Eligibility is generally limited to non-U.S. investors in jurisdictions where the product is legally permitted to be offered.

The underlying stock shares are held by licensed, regulated broker-dealers, while the digital assets are secured by institutional-grade custodians. To protect investors from the issuer's financial risks, the assets are structured to be "bankruptcy remote." This means the stocks are held in a separate legal entity from the main company, ensuring that the assets belong to the token holders and remain protected even if the issuing organization faces financial difficulties.
