Highlights

Ondo launched its Ondo Perps platform, enabling non-U.S. users to trade perpetual futures on equities, indices, and commodities using tokenized stocks and stablecoins as collateral.
Ondo Finance’s infrastructure has experienced rapid adoption, surpassing $1 billion in total value locked since September 2025, with up to $3 million in trading rewards to attract early participants.
ONDO/USD faces sustained selling pressure, trading below key moving averages with strong bearish momentum; the short-term range is expected between $0.306 and $0.3371, with a high probability of continued downside.

Persistent selling despite product expansion and platform adoption gains

Ondo launched Ondo Perps, a new perpetual futures platform for non-U.S. traders, expanding its product suite to include leveraged trading on equities, indices, and commodities with tokenized stocks and stablecoins as collateral, according to Phemex. This rollout is supported by Ondo Finance’s infrastructure, which surpassed $1 billion in total value locked since September 2025, as reported by Prnewswire, highlighting rapid platform adoption and technical capacity. To stimulate early user participation, Ondo introduced up to $3 million in trading rewards—including a $150,000 USDC pool in the first week—according to Finance Yahoo, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish technicals as momentum signals confirm sustained selling pressure

On the hourly chart, ONDO/USD trades below the MA-20 and MA-50, while it remains under the MA-200 on the daily timeframe. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at $0.325, serving as an immediate resistance point. Bearish momentum continues as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Average Directional Index (ADX) both indicate sustained downside bias. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 31.43, with the Stochastic RSI and Commodity Channel Index (CCI) in oversold territory, reinforcing bearish technical sentiment; Bull/Bear Power also confirms seller dominance in the session. The Awesome Oscillator is currently neutral.

Upside recovery unlikely as short-term risks skew to the downside

Over the next two to three trading days, ONDO is expected to trade within a volatility band between $0.306 and $0.3371. The likelihood of an upward breakout is very low, with downside risk considered significantly higher in the short term. The baseline expectation is for the price to consolidate sideways inside this range. An upward move above $0.325 would signal an early recovery scenario, while a drop below $0.306 would indicate renewed bearish pressure.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior analyst at Traders Union, believes Ondo’s launch of a perpetual futures platform demonstrates strong fundamental commitment to market expansion, even as current price action stays weak. He sees institutional-grade infrastructure and substantial incentives driving user adoption, reinforcing long-term growth prospects. Despite short-term technical weakness, the broader trend in product innovation and capital inflows remains positive. "If ONDO can hold above $0.306 and consolidate, I expect renewed interest and potential for medium-term recovery as adoption catalysts build momentum."

Previously it was reported that Ondo Finance made headlines by launching tokenized versions of major U.S.-listed securities on public blockchains through a compliant, third-party custody framework. The latest developments—marked by the debut of Ondo Perps and rapid growth in platform adoption—add a new dimension to the Ondo ecosystem, with traders advised to monitor for a potential early recovery signaled by a sustained move above the $0.325 resistance level.
