Why Buying Ondo Tokens Under $1 Could Be a ‘Gift’: ONDO Price Analysis
May 18, 2025
post photo preview

Ondo Finance (ONDO) has been leading the charge in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and according to top voices in the space, it might only be getting started.

The analyst CryptoED (@Crypto_ED7), known for consistently tracking early trends, called buying ONDO below $1 a “gift” after pointing to several powerful partnerships and ecosystem milestones achieved in just one week. These include collaborations with JPMorgan, PayPal, Solana, Chainlink, BlackRock, and even Ripple.

ONDO’s Growing Impact and Major Integrations

JPMorgan recently completed a tokenized U.S. treasury trade using the Ondo blockchain, marking a significant moment as one of the first major banks to use a public chain for real asset tokenization. The trade was enabled by Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol and coordinated by JPMorgan’s Kinexys. This not only shows the viability of public blockchains for institutional finance but puts Ondo front and center as the technical foundation.

Another game-changing move was the Ondo x PayPal integration. ONDO now allows instant redemptions of tokenized U.S. treasuries using PayPal USD (PYUSD). This 24/7 liquidity setup has made ONDO even more attractive to institutions and DeFi users alike. Following this announcement, the ONDO price jumped by over 35%, reflecting how seriously the market took the news.

Solana is also part of the ONDO ecosystem now. A new bridge built using LayerZero now lets ONDO’s USDY token move across chains without relying on third-party pools. This removes inefficiencies and creates a faster and safer way to transfer value. USDY has over $170 million locked and is integrated with more than 15 protocols on Solana alone.

In addition, Ondo is helping BlackRock’s BUIDL fund tokenize U.S. treasuries and is working closely with Ripple to bring $185 million in tokenized assets onto the XRP Ledger. This will use Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin and furthers the institutional reach of the ONDO network.

Representation at the Saudi-US Investment Forum and participation in SEC Crypto Task Force discussions also show that ONDO is now in the same room as BlackRock, Nasdaq, and Fidelity. The topic? How tokenization can make traditional finance faster, cheaper, and more open.

CryptoED also pointed out that the ONDO team is pushing hard behind the scenes. He highlighted that ONDO’s total value locked (TVL) just hit another all-time high. The suggestion is that when ONDO takes off again, the market will likely FOMO back in. But for those watching now, sub-$1 levels remain a strong long-term opportunity.

ONDO Price Analysis: Is a Rally Brewing?

Since breaking out of a descending channel in late April, the ONDO price has been moving higher but gradually. The structure now looks bullish as each move up is being supported and sustained.

The chart shows a clear setup for a rally continuation. If this structure plays out, ONDO could potentially double in the coming days or weeks. A 100% rally would bring it up to around $2.09, which is the upper boundary of the previous price channel.

That zone will likely act as resistance, but a break above it could trigger price discovery. If that happens, ONDO could reach a new all-time high during this market cycle.

Momentum is slowly building, and the fundamentals are lining up perfectly with technical signals. Buying ONDO below $1 might actually be, as CryptoED put it, a gift for those paying attention.

⚠️Speed isn’t everything. But it matters

Here’s how the fastest chains stack up by TPS:

• Sonic → 400K
• Sui → 297K
• Solana → 65K
• Arbitrum → 40K
• Avalanche → 4,5K

But TPS alone ≠ quality
Finality, UX, low fees & ecosystem depth matter

Sonic isn’t just fast. It checks every box 😉

🚨 SEC Accused of Fraud on Court in Explosive Filings: Veritaseum Case Takes Dramatic Turn 🚨

Reggie Middleton, digital asset influencer and founder of Veritaseum, has filed bombshell legal documents accusing the SEC of fabricating evidence and misleading the court during its enforcement action against his company. Middleton claims the SEC concealed and distorted facts to secure an asset freeze, which forced him into a costly settlement and effectively barred him from the digital asset industry[1].

🔹 Middleton alleges the SEC falsely claimed he was moving investor funds to personal accounts, when in reality the transfers were routine company transactions. He says the SEC’s own blockchain expert later admitted the accounts were not personal, but this correction was buried and never properly presented to the court[1].

🔹 The filings also accuse the SEC of witness intimidation and evidence suppression, including aggressive tactics against community supporters who tried to testify on Middleton’s behalf. Middleton argues these actions prevented a fair legal defense and coerced his ...

Musk Turns On Starlink to Save Iranians from Regime’s Internet Crackdown

Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and a visionary behind SpaceX, has flipped the switch on Starlink, delivering internet to Iranians amid a brutal regime crackdown.

This move comes on the heels of Israeli strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, as the Islamic Republic cuts off online access.

The former Department of Government Efficiency chief activated Starlink satellite internet service for Iranians on Saturday following the Islamic Republic's decision to impose nationwide internet restrictions.

As the Jerusalem Post reports, that the Islamic Republic’s Communications Ministry announced the move, stating, "In view of the special conditions of the country, temporary restrictions have been imposed on the country’s internet."

This action followed a series of Israeli attacks on Iranian targets.

Starlink, a SpaceX-developed satellite constellation, provides high-speed internet to regions with limited connectivity, such as remote areas or conflict zones.

Elizabeth MacDonald, a Fox News contributor, highlighted its impact, noting, "Elon Musk turning on Starlink for Iran in 2022 was a game changer. Starlink connects directly to SpaceX satellites, bypassing Iran’s ground infrastructure. That means even during government-imposed shutdowns or censorship, users can still get online, and reportedly more than 100,000 inside Iran are doing that."

During the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests, Starlink enabled Iranians to communicate and share footage globally despite network blackouts," she added.

MacDonald also mentioned ongoing tests of "direct-to-cell" capabilities, which could allow smartphone connections without a dish, potentially expanding access and supporting free expression and protest coordination.

Musk confirmed the activation, noting on Saturday, "The beams are on."

This follows the regime’s internet shutdowns, which were triggered by Israeli military actions.

Adding to the tension, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian people on Friday, urging resistance against the regime.

"Israel's fight is not against the Iranian people. Our fight is against the murderous Islamic regime that oppresses and impoverishes you,” he said.

Meanwhile, Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of Iran’s last monarch, called on military and security forces to abandon the regime, accusing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a Persian-language social media post of forcing Iranians into an unwanted war.

Starlink has been a beacon in other crises. Beyond Iran, Musk has leveraged Starlink to assist people during natural disasters and conflicts.

In the wake of hurricanes and earthquakes, Starlink has provided critical internet access to affected communities, enabling emergency communications and coordination.

Similarly, during the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Musk activated Starlink to support Ukrainian forces and civilians, ensuring they could maintain contact and access vital information under dire circumstances.

The genius entrepreneur, is throwing a lifeline to the oppressed in Iran, and the libs can’t stand it.

Conservative talk show host Mark Levin praised Musk’s action, reposting a message stating that Starlink would "reconnect the Iranian people with the internet and put the final nail in the coffin of the Iranian regime."

"God bless you, Elon. The Starlink beams are on in Iran!" Levin wrote.

Musk, who recently stepped down from leading the DOGE in the Trump administration, has apologized to President Trump for past criticisms, including his stance on the One Big Beautiful Bill.

GENIUS Act lets State banks conduct some business nationwide. Regulators object

The Senate passed the GENIUS Act for stablecoins last week, but significant work remains before it becomes law. The House has a different bill, the STABLE Act, with notable differences that must be reconciled. State banking regulators have raised strong objections to a provision in the GENIUS Act that would allow state banks to operate nationwide without authorization from host states or a federal regulator.

The controversial clause permits a state bank with a regulated stablecoin subsidiary to provide money transmitter and custodial services in any other state. While host states can impose consumer protection laws, they cannot require the usual authorization and oversight typically needed for out-of-state banking operations.

The Conference of State Bank Supervisors welcomed some changes in the GENIUS Act but remains adamantly opposed to this particular provision. In a statement, CSBS said:

“Critical changes must be made during House consideration of the legislation to prevent unintended consequences and further mitigate financial stability risks. CSBS remains concerned with the dramatic and unsupported expansion of the authority of uninsured banks to conduct money transmission or custody activities nationwide without the approval or oversight of host state supervisors (Sec. 16(d)).”

The National Conference of State Legislatures expressed similar concerns in early June, stating:

“We urge you to oppose Section 16(d) and support state authority to regulate financial services in a manner that reflects local conditions, priorities and risk tolerances. Preserving the dual banking system and respecting state autonomy is essential to the safety, soundness and diversity of our nation’s financial sector.”

Evolution of nationwide authorization

Section 16 addresses several issues beyond stablecoins, including preventing a recurrence of the SEC’s SAB 121, which forced crypto assets held in custody onto balance sheets. However, the nationwide authorization subsection was added after the legislation cleared the Senate Banking Committee, with two significant modifications since then.

Originally, the provision applied only to special bank charters like Wyoming’s Special Purpose Depository Institutions or Connecticut’s Innovation Banks. Examples include crypto-focused Custodia Bank and crypto exchange Kraken in Wyoming, plus traditional finance player Fnality US in Connecticut. Recently the scope was expanded to cover most state chartered banks with stablecoin subsidiaries, possibly due to concerns about competitive advantages.

Simultaneously, the clause was substantially tightened. The initial version allowed state chartered banks to provide money transmission and custody services nationwide for any type of asset, which would include cryptocurrencies. Now these activities can only be conducted by the stablecoin subsidiary, and while Section 16(d) doesn’t explicitly limit services to stablecoins, the GENIUS Act currently restricts issuers to stablecoin related activities.

However, the House STABLE Act takes a more permissive approach, allowing regulators to decide which non-stablecoin activities are permitted. If the House version prevails in reconciliation, it could result in a significant expansion of allowed nationwide banking activities beyond stablecoins.

Is it that bad?

As originally drafted, the clause seemed overly permissive.

The amended clause makes sense for stablecoin issuers. They want to have a single regulator and be able to provide the stablecoin services throughout the United States. But it also leans into the perception outside of crypto that this is just another form of regulatory arbitrage.

The controversy over Section 16(d) reflects concerns about creating a regulatory gap that allows banks to operate interstate without the oversight typically required from either federal or state authorities. As the two Congressional chambers work toward reconciliation, lawmakers must decide whether stablecoin legislation should include provisions that effectively reduce traditional banking oversight requirements.

Dubai regulator VARA classifies RWA issuance as licensed activity
Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) leads global regulatory framework - makes RWA issuance licensed activity in Dubai.

Real-world assets (RWAs) issuance is now licensed activity in Dubai.

~ Actual law.
~ Not a legal gray zone.
~ Not a whitepaper fantasy.

RWA issuance and listing on secondary markets is defined under binding crypto regulation.

It’s execution by Dubai.

Irina Heaver explained:

“RWA issuance is no longer theoretical. It’s now a regulatory reality.”

VARA defined:

- RWAs are classified as Asset-Referenced Virtual Assets (ARVAs)

- Secondary market trading is permitted under VARA license

- Issuers need capital, audits, and legal disclosures

- Regulated broker-dealers and exchanges can now onboard and trade them

This closes the gap that killed STOs in 2018.

No more tokenization without venues.
No more assets without liquidity.

UAE is doing what Switzerland, Singapore, and Europe still haven’t:

Creating enforceable frameworks for RWA tokenization that actually work.

Matthew White, CEO of VARA, said it perfectly:

“Tokenization will redefine global finance in 2025.”

He’s not exaggerating.

$500B+ market predicted next year.

And the UAE just gave it legal rails.

~Real estate.
~Private credit.
~Shariah-compliant products.

Everything is in play.

This is how you turn hype into infrastructure.

What Dubai is doing now is 3 years ahead of everyone else.

Founders, investors, ecosystem builders:

You want to build real-world assets onchain.

Don’t waste another year waiting for clarity.

Come to Dubai.

It’s already here.
