ONDO, the native token of Ondo Finance, climbed over 17% after the company connected its real-world asset products with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a leading US securities settlement and post-trade infrastructure provider. The token jumped from around $0.34 to nearly $0.39, marking a notable increase and extending gains for the week as investor interest returned to projects bridging traditional finance and blockchain technology.
DTCC integration supports tokenized stock rollout
Ondo Finance reported that its CRCLon and SPYon products now link with tokenized entitlements issued via DTCC’s Tokenization Service. These tokenized instruments represent Circle shares and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF, offering investors a bridge between digital assets and established financial markets. According to DTCC, tokenized assets issued within its framework retain the same rights and protections as conventional securities, providing institutions with the familiar standards for custody, ownership, and settlement.
The integration ensures that tokenized stocks supported by Ondo carry CUSIP identifiers and established market symbols, making them easier for institutions to adopt within their existing workflows. DTCC plans a wider rollout of this Tokenization Service in October 2026, following a limited launch involving more than 50 institutional participants.
Santiment Intelligence pointed out the momentum:
ONDO jumped approximately 18% with its tokenized stock launch, and unlike most catalyst-driven moves, the on-chain activity is following. The token rose from about $0.31 to $0.37 between July 14 and 16 after launching DTCC-backed tokenized stock representations and a new partnership with SBI.
The connection with DTCC places Ondo’s products alongside systems trusted by major banks, asset managers, and trading venues. However, analysts note that connecting tokenized securities to robust settlement infrastructure does not directly translate into immediate institutional demand for the ONDO token itself.
Mini dictionary: DTCC (Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation), a US-based institution, provides clearing, settlement, and information services for financial markets, processing trillions of dollars in transactions each year and playing a fundamental role in global securities infrastructure.
Expanding distribution, onchain integration
Ondo Finance, a platform focused on tokenizing real-world assets, is also broadening its market presence with the launch of Robinhood Chain in July. Powered by Arbitrum, this new integration allows Robinhood users to access stock tokens and decentralized finance products, potentially increasing market exposure to tokenized equities.
In May, Ondo collaborated with Kinexys, Mastercard, and Ripple to complete a cross-border Treasury redemption pilot. The process saw Ondo conduct the asset tokenization and redemption while traditional banking partners managed fiat settlements, demonstrating a practical link between public blockchains and mainstream financial payment systems.
The company’s perpetual derivatives platform, Ondo Perps, reported over $1 billion in trading volume in the span of seven days and surpassed $3 billion in cumulative activity. This growth reflects increased market interest in RWA-linked derivatives products.
Key resistance and support levels for ONDO
ONDO’s price has surged past short and medium-term exponential moving averages, including the 20-day, 50-day, and 100-day EMAs, which cluster around the $0.339 to $0.345 range. The token also moved above the 200-day EMA at $0.376, shifting the technical outlook in favor of buyers.
| Level | Value/Range | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| Support | $0.37 – $0.38 | Breakout holding zone |
| Resistance | $0.39 – $0.40 | Near-term cap, requires breakout |
| Target | $0.43 – $0.45 | Previous May highs |
| Major Resistance | $0.48, $0.70 | Longer-term challenge levels |
A firm close above $0.40 could pave the way for a move toward May highs near $0.43 to $0.45, with additional resistance further up at $0.48 and $0.70. However, with the four-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) touching 75, the market now appears overbought, which raises the risk of short-term consolidation or a pullback.
First support now appears at $0.37 to $0.38. If ONDO holds this range, the breakout structure stays intact. A drop below $0.37 could lead to further declines toward the dense support zone near $0.34, where multiple moving averages converge.
