ONDO Price Rises Amid Decreasing Exchange Supply
A DeFi token, ONDO, added 7% to its value on Saturday with increasing discussions on social media platforms. Crypto intelligence tracker Santiment helps identify assets gaining interest among investors by tracking the social dominance metric. A significant wallet investor triggered these DeFi token 
price increases by withdrawing Ethereum assets on Friday and purchasing ONDO.
The cryptocurrency ONDO is gaining popularity among investors with the increasing demand for risk-free fixed-income loans backed by yield-generating cryptocurrencies. According to the crypto intelligence platform Santiment, the social media discussion rate of the DeFi token ONDO reached its highest level of 2024 today.
One of the key on-chain metrics, exchange supply, shows that ONDO‘s supply is at its lowest level in 2024. Exchange supply helps measure the selling pressure on the asset. Accordingly, the higher this supply, the more likely the tokens are to be sold for profit, which can negatively affect prices. The exchange supply of ONDO has been consistently decreasing in 2024.
