RWA Tokenization Market Leader Ondo Finance Surges Ahead in 2025

As the real-world asset sector continues to evolve, Ondo Finance has emerged as a dominant player. ONDO's surge in transaction volume and updates to its platform

Real-world asset (RWA) protocols continue to integrate new asset classes into their protocols, expanding the possibilities for DeFi. Despite the market downturn, some RWA protocols, such as Ondo Finance, have seen a surge in transaction volume.

Ondo Finance leads the RWA sector in transaction volume, outpacing competitors. The company’s token, ONDO, saw a significant surge in transaction activity in late 2024. In January 2025, ONDO’s transaction volume exceeded 400 million but it declined and currently sits below 300 million, still surpassing other RWA tokens in the sector.

Ondo Finance’s dominance in transaction volume aligns with recent updates to its platform. On February 5, 2025, Ondo launched an enhancement to its Ondo Global Markets platform to expand its offerings. The platform brings U.S. securities, such as stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds(ETFs), onto the blockchain.

The global market for tokenized assets has experienced steady growth, with major players like BlackRock contributing to its expansion. Ondo Finance holds a significant market share, valued at $650 million, in the $3.5 billion U.S. Treasuries tokenization market. Ondo dominates approximately 40% of the global market for these tokenized products because of its focus on tokenization of securities.

Ondo Finance’s token, ONDO, has drawn substantial interest from institutional investors. Data shows that 88% of ONDO’s market is held by whales which demonstrates its appeal to large-scale investors. Transaction activity on the token also reflects this trend, with $1.2 billion in transactions recorded over the past seven days.

Recently, technical indicators suggest that ONDO is preparing for an upward momentum. On February 17, 2025, the token’s 50-day moving average crossed the 200-day moving average, signaling a bullish trend. Moreover, the MACD indicator confirmed this trend with a bullish crossover on February 18, 2025.

On-chain metrics indicate increased network activity, which further supports ONDO’s market strength. The number of active addresses on the ONDO network rose by 20% to 12,000 on February 19, 2025. At the same time, the average transaction value increased by 10% to $5,000, signaling growing institutional interest.
