A significant $ONDO purchase was detected recently, as a new wallet created just 11 hours ago spent 4,611 ETH ($17.1M) to acquire 10.978 million $ONDO tokens at an average price of $1.553 amid a market dip.

This development comes ahead of a substantial token unlock scheduled for January 18, 2025, which could have a profound impact on the market.

Key Unlock Details:

The unlock will release 135% of the circulating supply, valued at $3 billion. Currently, $ONDO’s circulating supply stands at 1.43 billion tokens (14.37% of the total supply). Of the unlocked tokens:

– 80% will be allocated to ecosystem growth and protocol development.

– 20% will go to investors.

Early investors stand to gain significantly, with the token’s price surging from an entry price of $0.02 (Series A) to $1.58, marking an 80x return. With $500 million worth of tokens (322 million $ONDO) unlocking for investors—equivalent to 22.4% of the current circulating supply—there is potential for sell pressure. However, its impact will depend on market conditions and investor sentiment.

Price Performance and Ecosystem Implications:

$ONDO has demonstrated impressive growth:

– ICO Growth: A 50x increase from its initial offering price.

– Recent Rally: A 110% surge in the past month, reflecting strong market momentum.

The bulk of the unlocked tokens is earmarked for ecosystem development, which, if managed strategically, could drive long-term adoption. While the 135% surge in circulating supply may risk dilution, incentives for ecosystem growth could counterbalance any negative effects.

$ONDO’s recent rally signals robust demand and confidence among investors. If the project introduces utility programs or updates strategically, the unlock event might even support a bullish narrative, minimizing potential price shocks.
