Ondo Finance APAC Expansion

Highlights

  • RWA assets like Ondo Finance rallies BlackRock makes a move in this industry.
  • ONDO's whale transactions worth $100,000 surge supporting the price rally.
  • Ondo Global Markets bridge traditional and DeFi with Tokenized Securities

The ONDO token, powering the Ondo DAO and Flux Finance, has witnessed remarkable growth in recent times. Within the past week alone, the price of ONDO has surged by an impressive 40%, reaching its all-time high (ATH) of around 77 cents. Since its listing just two months ago in January 2024, ONDO has delivered returns exceeding 350%.

What’s Behind the ONDO Price Rally?

After BlackRock ventured into blockchain by introducing a tokenized fund on Ethereum, there has been a notable surge in the value of various Real World Asset (RWA) tokens.

Among these tokens, Ondo Finance (ONDO) has witnessed substantial price hikes. Ondo Finance seeks to merge traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi) by tokenizing securities. Its diverse offerings and growing partnerships within the blockchain ecosystem have contributed to its positive market impact.

New data provided by on-chain analytics firm Santiment reveals a surge in whale transactions related to ONDO. Over the past 24 hours, transactions exceeding $100,000 have increased from 68 to 91 unique cases. This uptick in whale activity aligns with a notable decrease in ONDO’s supply on exchanges, dropping from 536.64 million to 529.6 million tokens across all platforms during the same timeframe.

The substantial rise in whale transactions, coupled with the reduction in exchange supply, suggests a robust bullish sentiment surrounding ONDO’s market dynamics.

Expanding Tokenized Assets Offering

Earlier this week, Ondo Finance unveiled Ondo Global Markets, a new platform designed to bridge traditional and DeFi markets by introducing tokens representing ownership of conventional securities. This strategic move extends Ondo’s offerings beyond tokenized U.S. Treasuries, broadening its appeal to a wider audience and potentially boosting demand for the ONDO token.

In addition to its core product, Ondo Finance has forged partnerships with several blockchain platforms, including Aptos, Sui, and Solana. By integrating its tokenized treasury products (USDY) and exploring additional DeFi applications, Ondo is diversifying its presence across multiple chains, solidifying its position as a frontrunner in the RWA tokenization sector.

Despite the recent surge in price, it’s essential to analyze technical indicators. ONDO is currently trading above its 50-day moving average, indicating a potential short-term uptrend. Moreover, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains at a healthy level, suggesting further room for growth before reaching overbought conditions.
