I've just noticed a quite interesting trend recently — institutional funds are quietly building positions in protocols with high TVL, and ONDO is one of their main targets. This indicates they are positioning themselves early before retail capital starts flowing in strongly.

There are three protocols receiving special attention from institutions: SECU, ONDO, and LCOL. All three have relatively stable inflows, driven by yield-focused models and backed by collateral assets. But what's interesting is that retail participation remains quite limited, meaning the market hasn't truly become "hot" yet.

Looking at each protocol individually, SECU stands out with its well-structured liquidity management, helping to improve efficiency in decentralized markets. ONDO is making waves by integrating tokenized real-world assets — a fairly new approach. Meanwhile, LCOL is emerging in the yield optimization space, and the ONDO price is also being closely watched as it reflects the attractiveness of these protocols to investors.

One thing not to overlook is SENT. Although still in early development, its on-chain activity is showing positive signals, with liquidity flows gradually increasing. This could be an opportunity to monitor before the ONDO price and other protocols start accelerating as the broader market pays more attention to them.
