Who may buy, hold, transfer, and redeem

Each answer rests on the issuer’s own words, quoted from the document named under it. Ketju re-reads each document and records whether the words are still there. Where the documents say nothing, the row says so.

What the holder owns

A secured note of Ondo Global Markets (BVI) Limited. Holders have a security interest in the backing assets but no right to the Treasuries.

“USDY is not classified as a traditional stablecoin; instead, it is a tokenized secured note.”

Who may hold it

Non-US persons only. US persons and orders placed from the US may not subscribe, acquire or redeem; some countries require professional status.

“Persons who place buy orders from within the United States, or any of its states, possessions, territories or federal districts, and persons who are ”US persons” or acting for the account or benefit of any ”US persons” within the meaning of Rule 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, are also prohibited from subscribing for, acquiring or redeeming USDY tokens.”

Who it may be transferred to

How a holder redeems

Who keeps the official record

Powers read from the deployed contracts and their verified source: the token and every contract it consults on transfer. A power recorded here is the issuer’s ability, not evidence it has been used.

Who holds the keys

Every current holder of each power, read from the chain on 2026-09-23. A single key is one private key: whoever holds it acts alone. A multisig needs the stated number of signers. A timelock makes every action wait, so holders can see it coming.

What the monitor reads daily

Every control function in the table above and the contracts the token consults on transfer; the token’s on-chain supply against yesterday’s; and its market quote against yesterday’s quote, since a fund of this kind accrues a few basis points a day. Every document quoted above is re-read too, and a quote that leaves its document reopens the file. A change opens a review item in the governance queue and reopens the file before any client action.
