How to Trade Ondo Finance (ONDO) in Belgium

From Belgium, exposure to Ondo Finance runs through a USDC-settled perpetual.

Is Ondo Finance trading legal in Belgium?

Belgium is the strictest of the large EU markets on this pair of questions, and the gap between the two answers is wider here than almost anywhere. Spot crypto itself is legal: MiCA has applied since 30 December 2024, the FSMA runs the crypto-asset framework, and since 1 July 2026 any crypto-asset service provider must hold a MiCA authorisation or stop offering services in Europe - the national transitional regime ran out on 30 June 2026.

Leveraged derivatives are a different matter entirely. Since 18 August 2016 the FSMA Regulation approved by Royal Decree has banned distribution to consumers, over electronic trading platforms, of binary options, sub-one-hour derivatives and leveraged derivatives including CFDs and rolling spot forex - and it sits on top of an earlier ban on distributing financial products whose underlying is a virtual currency.

What the contract is

The contract itself does not change by geography: a ONDO perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
