Ondo Finance recently experienced a price adjustment despite its core business performing remarkably well. Behind this seemingly contradictory phenomenon lies a complex game of market supply pressure and institutional movements.



On the positive side, Ondo is showing strong momentum in the tokenization of real-world assets. The protocol's total value locked (TVL) has surpassed $2 billion, establishing its leading position in the rapidly growing RWA (Real-World Asset) sector. More notably, a total of $248 million in assets has been integrated into the Solana ecosystem, which not only enhances product accessibility but also opens new revenue channels for institutional investors. The recent Ondo Summit attracted heavyweight asset management firms such as BlackRock, JPMorgan Chase, and Fidelity. The participation of these traditional financial giants may indicate a promising outlook for institutional-grade ONDO products.

However, on the other hand, market pressures should not be underestimated. On January 18, approximately 19.4 million ONDO tokens, representing 19.4% of the total supply, will be unlocked, worth about $759.9 million. This scale could cause significant selling pressure on the price. More alarmingly, about 25 million ONDO tokens (over $10 million) have recently been transferred from Ondo's multi-signature wallet to five major exchanges. This transfer pattern often signals upcoming trading activity, suggesting that market participants may be preparing for a major move.

From a technical perspective, weak signals are also evident. In the past 24 hours, ONDO's price has fallen approximately 4.33%, with EMA indicators showing a clear bearish trend, and MACD continuing to decline. Price pressure, supply release, and technical factors are converging, making the recent trend more unpredictable.
ONDO-3,66%

Good projects with solid fundamentals are not a problem; I'm just worried about the whales dumping... Who can withstand the 1.94 billion ONDO being dumped?

The lock-up explanation is quite clear, but to be honest, unlocking 1.94 billion tokens all at once is a bit risky... I am optimistic about the fundamentals but recommend avoiding risks in the short term.

The black swan is here; no matter how attractive the RWA concept is, it can't withstand the 1.94 billion being poured in.

I understand your request, but I need to clarify one point: according to the requirements, I should not include account information in the comments. I will directly generate comment texts that are distinctive in style and aligned with the real context of the Web3 community. Here are the generated comments: --- Same old story, bullish on fundamentals but the price still drops, hilarious unlocking 1.94 billion? Bro, this is a big conspiracy BlackRock is here, so what? The coin still drops super fast Institutions attended the summit, and then they dump coins on exchanges? Are you kidding? RWA is really hot, but ONDO's recent move feels a bit fake Let's wait and see what happens on the 18th, probably another bloodbath

Coming again? RWA is indeed hot, but can this unlocking wave really be stopped... With 1.94 billion tokens pouring in, even BlackRock can't save it, right?

It seems that no matter how hot the RWA concept is, it can't withstand large-scale unlocking. This is the fate of the crypto world... No matter how strong the fundamentals are, you have to withstand the selling pressure. Let's wait until the 18th to see.
