Gate-by-gate analysis

01

Riba (interest)

Fail

Ondo's core product is tokenised US Treasury yield — direct interest income on government debt.

02

Gharar (uncertainty)

Pass

Asset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.

03

Maysir (gambling)

Pass

Spot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.

04

Haram-sector exposure

Fail

Tokenised conventional debt instruments — direct riba exposure.

05

Liquidity

Pass

ONDO has sufficient liquidity, but gate failure is decisive.

Final verdict

Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening excludes ONDO. Tokenised Treasury yield is direct riba.

Caveats and notes

  • Excluded structurally.
  • Tokenised sukuk would be a different analysis; Ondo's products are conventional Treasuries.
