Ondo Finance surged over 12% as a broad crypto market rally — fueled by cooler-than-expected US CPI inflation data coming in at 3.5% — lifted risk appetite across altcoins and particularly RWA-related tokens. The macro tailwind was amplified by major regulatory catalysts directly relevant to Ondo: the US and UK jointly unveiled a roadmap to align stablecoin and tokenized asset regulations, South Korea announced a National Asset Basic Act recognizing crypto as state wealth with a 2027 tokenized bond pilot, and Ondo Finance was named as a participant in the DTCC's tokenized securities pilot alongside BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan — a potential commercial launch by October 2026. The RWA tokenization sector, where Ondo is a key player, has seen on-chain tradable value nearly triple to $33.5B year-over-year, reinforcing the fundamental narrative driving the token's sharp recovery from recent lows.
