Ondo's token has no value accrual, so tokenization's growth isn't flowing to holders. What Ondo is building is really good, as tokenization is the future, but not every project needs a token. Almost 20% of total supply unlocked in January 2026, and the same will happen next year. That is why the price is down 85% even with TVL and revenue at all-time highs. x.com 

ONDO's token captures too little of Ondo Finance's value, and without a large buyback it risks being outpaced by RWA tokens that adopt fee switches sooner. It is mostly a governance token, with no large-scale staking and no gas role on Ondo Chain, while about 51% of supply vests until 2029, a constant sell pressure. @ar_web3's worry about roughly 1B tokens unlocking yearly would be a disaster without big buybacks. Decisive DAO action in 6–12 months could let ONDO reflect the protocol's strength. … Show more

Ondo Finance is the leading real-world-asset protocol tokenizing US Treasuries onchain, and the RWA narrative is just getting started. Institutions such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are already in the space, and Ondo is already building it, with the ONDO token sitting at $0.55. x.com 

Pendle's product-market fit wasn't strong enough: it was losing TVL even before the recent DeFi hacks. Capital allocators care about altcoins that make revenue, and Pendle isn't one, while its vote-escrow token model forces holders to lock up in a market where altcoins mostly fall over the long term. @katexbt adds that nobody wants to be in DeFi after the hacks, with layered yield turning into a liability in a bear market. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Bit Digital deserves to trade at a discount because management is levering its ETH to finance a related party it controls, so shareholders should not value that ETH at NAV. Its new "Strategic Asset Company" label defines a category around its own activities and compares it with DATs and ETFs that do not perform them. Investors can hold ETH themselves; Bit Digital should return the ETH to shareholders and wind down. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Ondo Finance is still the biggest tokenized-stock issuer by a long way, with almost $1B in tokenized stocks, and ONDO at $0.50 hasn't priced that in yet. x.com 

Bitcoin and crypto have largely failed to evolve beyond vehicles for speculation after about 15 years, as @kingtutcap argues. Its digital gold role has been inconsistent, since it trades like a risk asset in panics rather than a safe haven, and most coins offer little beyond hopes of selling to someone else at a higher price. Bitcoin also serves largely as a backend for criminals to move money. x.com  x.com 

Ondo is positioned for tokenized stocks onchain, a trend that could get much bigger, and adoption should bring more demand for the token. Its stock products hold $1.19 billion and its yield-bearing dollar token USDY $2.28 billion. New BlackRock-designed portfolios hold Ondo's stock and ETF tokens, and institutions can supply tokens using shares held through Alpaca, potentially cheapening liquidity. More buyers attract liquidity, which makes trading cheaper and draws in the next buyer. x.com 

The Ondo Network launch strengthens the ONDO thesis by making Ondo an emerging financial infrastructure stack for tokenized assets rather than just an RWA project, a much larger opportunity. Issuance is only the first layer; value comes from liquidity, execution, settlement, privacy and DeFi use. Ondo is moving closer to controlling the full asset lifecycle, so products share liquidity, users and settlement, a stronger moat. Attracting liquidity and institutions is the execution risk. x.com 

Ondo and Centrifuge are building the issuance, distribution, liquidity and asset-management rails that benefit as more assets move onchain, and their value does not yet reflect how fast the product layer is expanding. Tokenized stocks, at $2.46B of market cap, produced $808M of daily volume, about 60% of the total, while tokenized ETFs at $583M traded $163M, turnover close to stocks and almost 5x commodities. Robinhood leads now, but the opportunity should expand beyond one platform. x.com
