ONDO Smashes TVL Record After Ripple Deal – Is a Price Explosion Next?

Blockchain''s sleeping giant just woke up swinging. ONDO''s Total Value Locked (TVL) just shattered its all-time high—thanks to that game-changing Ripple partnership. But here''s the million-Satoshi question: when do the charts catch up?

The institutional seal of approval

Ripple''s stamp isn''t just corporate validation—it''s a liquidity magnet. Suddenly every crypto fund manager who couldn''t spell ''Ondo'' last quarter is repositioning portfolios. Funny how that works.

Price action lagging behind

TVL''s mooning while price plays catch-up. Classic crypto divergence—either a coiled spring or proof that fundamentals still don''t matter in this casino. Your call.

Watch the smart money flow

Whales are accumulating, exchanges are bleeding supply, and the charts are printing that eerie pre-pump consolidation. History says this either ends in 3x gains or another ''we told you so'' from the Bitcoin maxis.

Just remember—in crypto, the ''fundamental play'' is usually just a narrative chasing price. But hey, this time might be different*.

*It never is.

ONDO partners Ripple as TVL hits new high

The partnership of Ondo Finance and Ripple has seen the tokenization of the U.S. Treasuries cross stay at the XRP Ledger with 24/7 get right of entry to and redemption in RLUSD.

The mixing was enabled via the BUIDL fund, a BlackRock initiative, making ONDO the hub of institutional DeFi infrastructure.

But this was not merely a story game — this was operational capital investment in the quest of scalable income. Ondo sprang a new all-time high on its Total Value Locked of $1.368B.

This was more than $20 million in additional growth since the previous milestone.

The market cap was equal to $2.824 billion, and the daily volume was $167.02 million. The revenue was less impressive though — annualized fees stood at $54.24 million.

The platform revenue was $11.69 million as holders continued to get in revenue share.

That was indicative of the growth momentum in ONDO but also indicative of the absence of direct holder returns, which may become an issue as the sector matures.

Nevertheless, as the XRPL integration went live and the TVL was increasing, the strategy of ONDO proved to bring results. This was in terms of bringing real-world assets to DeFi rails.

The extent to which it can maintain this rate will relate to its success in balancing institutional attractiveness with community incentives.

How will the prices react?

Technically, ONDO kept increasing along the trendline, and the support as it approached the $0.867 area. The price was circling around $0.88 and indication of pressure was seen as price retested trendline.

Provided this support beneath ONDO held, it may rebound back to the $0.90 area and even come a second time to challenge the swing high at around $0.98.

Nevertheless, a decrease to the levels under $0.867 could result in the pullback to $0.84 or even deeper.

The MACD indicated a deteriorating bullish trend, with the MACD line falling below the signal line ($0.0053) and heading into negative territory.

This reversal indicated possible NEAR term weakness unless momentum could get restored.

The trend structure was intact in the meantime, though a confirmed break below the rising support WOULD turn the sentiment bearish. The traders may observe $0.867 and $1 as directional validation areas.

Meanwhile, the price of XRP on the other hand saw modest gains in the last 24 hours while maintaining its stay around the $2.30 zone.

This stressed that the partnership did not have direct impact on prices of the crypto in the short-term but would in the long-term.
