Ethereum-beta Ondo Finance (ONDO) Price Touches New All-Time High, What’s Cooking?
Amid the approval of the spot Ethereum ETF by the U.S. SEC on Thursday, May 23, Ethereum-beta Ondo Finance cryptocurrency surged to its new all-time high levels. In the last 24 hours, the ONDO price has surged more than 8% rallying all the way to $1.15 and hitting a market cap of over $1.5 billion. Also, the daily trading volume for ONDO has skyrocketed by a staggering 130% to $455,519,046.
What’s Behind the ONDO Price Rally?
Ever since its launch earlier this year, Ondo Finance (ONDO) has been in strong demand and has rallied 550% so far on its way to hitting new all-time highs. In addition to the spot Ethereum ETF approval, another major catalyst behind the ONDO price rally has been Coinbase adding ONDO to its perpetual market.
Trading has commenced for ONDO-PERP, PYTH-PERP, and ZETA-PERP on the perpetual markets. Coinbase’s platforms, both Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced, are now fully operational for trading, offering a range of order types such as limit, market, stop, and stop-limit orders.
Initially, the ONDO-PERP, PYTH-PERP, and ZETA-PERP markets will enter post-only mode on Coinbase International Exchange and Coinbase Advanced.
As a result, several market traders have been giving bullish calls for ONDO. In response to the tweet, a trader emphasized that ONDO represents a potent “ETH beta” poised for attention in the near future.
Another researcher predicts a forthcoming surge in the “real-world-asset narrative,” highlighting ONDO’s noteworthy performance, ranking closely behind leading Layer 1 platforms and meme tokens this week.
Additionally, a crypto trader suggested that for those unable to acquire securitized tokens, investing in ONDO presents a compelling alternative, calling it the next best option.

You can’t buy securitize tokens, but you can buy ONDO which is the next best thing. https://t.co/IV5mYUGOqe

Crypto expert Egrag Crypto has again predicted that the XRP price could rally to as high as $27. The analyst has also revealed the exact timeline for when the altcoin could record this massive price surge.
Expert Reveals Time For XRP Price To Hit $27
In an X post, Egrag Crypto asserted that the XRP price can hit $27 in 60 days. The expert remarked that historical patterns indicate that the altcoin can reach this target within this timeframe.
Based on this price prediction, XRP could reach this $27 target by June, marking a 1,250% gain for Ripple’s native crypto. The expert’s accompanying chart showed that he was alluding to the 2017 bull run as to why the altcoin could record such a parabolic rally.
In 2017, XRP recorded a historic gain of over 60,000% as it rallied to its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.8 the following year. As such, based on history, a 1,250% increase is nothing for the altcoin.
In the meantime, the XRP price still boasts a bearish outlook thanks to the sentiment in the broader crypto market. As CoinGape reported, Ripple’s coin could drop to the next major support levels at $1.79 and $1.56 if it fails to hold above $2.03.
Decision Time For The Altcoin
In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that it is decision time for the XRP price. She noted that the altcoin is showing strength with a bounce right back to the first key test at $2.17. She added that this is the resistance level she wants to see flip into support, as it might be the “most important price of the week.”
The analyst stated that XRP must reclaim this level to build momentum. She added that the $2 level remains a valid target if the $2.17 level rejects. Meanwhile, CasiTrades revealed that $2.70, $3.05, and $3.80 are the major resistance zones once the upward trend is confirmed.
The analyst also mentioned that the XRP price is now fully inside the Fibonacci Time Zone 3, which spans most of April. She affirmed that this is the breakout window market participants have been preparing for and that all signs point to a macro wave.
CasiTrades affirmed that the structure is clean. The RSI divergence has confirmed the bottom, while the subwaves are aligning well with the larger targets. If the next leg pushes XRP back above $2.17 with momentum, she claimed that market participants may finally see obvious signs of Wave 3. Interestingly, the analyst added that if the altcoin clears $2.70 this week, it may break the $1,000 price extension.
For now, investors may remain cautious, especially seeing how XRP fell after the PMI and JOLTS data release earlier today. Donald Trump is also set to announce reciprocal tariffs tomorrow, which could spark a massive price crash.

A recent Binance update has triggered massive liquidations while sending Solana memecoin ACT into a steep correction. At first, pundits blamed market maker Wintermute for the jarring declines but Binance’s update to leverage and margin tiers appears to be the culprit.
Several Altcoins on Binance Suffer Massive Corrections
According to an X post, several altcoins listed on Binance took a major hit, dropping by double-digit percentages. The hardest hit of the lot was Solana memecoin ACT, experiencing a sudden drop of over 50% in 30 minutes.
Other altcoins including DEXE and DF equally recorded steep declines of 23% and 16% respectively in the same window. The price slump left traders scratching their heads but a consensus formed that sizable sell orders were behind the declines.
“The sudden dips were triggered by large sell orders executed in a short time frame, leading to a significant surge in spot trading volume,” said one pundit.
Others turned to market maker Wintermute as the trigger for the selloff. However, Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy denied responsibility while noting that the market maker reacted “post move.”
The decline comes amid a broader market recovery with several cryptocurrencies including Compound (COMP) gaining 70%.
What Triggered The 50% Decline For Solana Meme Coin
A Binance update on leverage and margin tiers on specific tokens like ACT triggered the massive declines. According to an April 1 announcement, the top exchange has updated the margin tiers of several perpetual contracts, noting that existing positions will be affected.
Following the move, one ACT whale got liquidated for $3.79 million at $0.1877, triggering a broad selloff. Former FTX community manager Benson Sun noted that traders had less than 3 hours to respond to the change, criticizing Binance for the move.
“Before changing the rules, Binance should have evaluated how many positions would be closed,” said Sun. “If there are market makers with large positions, they should have notified them in advance.”
Within hours of MUBARAK’s listing, the memecoin tumbled by 40% with Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao downplaying the impact of a listing on prices. Binance has drawn criticism in recent days following its exclusion of Pi Network from its Vote To List initiative.

A crypto market crash looks imminent, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Dogecoin witnessing notable declines. This price crash happened following the release of weak manufacturing PMI and JOLTS data, which provides a bearish outlook for the market.
Crypto Market Crash: BTC, ETH, XRP, & DOGE Decline
CoinMarketCap data shows that a crypto market crash could be on the horizon, with the Bitcoin price sharply dropping below $83,000 from a daily high of around $84,400. Altcoins such as Ethereum, XRP, and DOGE also witnessed sharp declines.
This market crash occurred following the release of weak ISM manufacturing PMI and JOLTS data. The March PMI data dropped to 49, below expectations of 49.5 and lower than the 50 recorded in February.
The US JOLTS job openings for February came in at 7.568 million, below the expected 7.690 million and lower than the 7.762 million recorded in January. These data add to several macro fundamentals that paint a bearish outlook for the market.
This crypto market crash could persist, with China, Japan, and South Korea agreeing to respond to Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs. Trump is set to announce a number of reciprocal tariffs tomorrow, which could significantly harm the market as it sets off a trade war between the US and other nations.
