$ONDO Event on 18 Jan 2026

Why this matters:

Token unlocks increase sell pressure as previously restricted/unvested tokens enter the market.

If demand doesn’t absorb the new supply, downward price pressure often follows.

📊 Market Sentiment & Price Pressure

According to recent market commentary around this event:

Analysts have warned that the unlocking of ONDO tokens (e.g., ~322 million or larger figures depending on source) could put downward pressure on price near the unlock date. �

Crypto markets in early 2026 also face broader volatility risks according to fresh Bitcoin/Ethereum outlooks, which can amplify altcoin swings. �

📈 Potential Price Impact (Short‑Term)

Bullish catalysts are limited near the unlock date, while the large release of tokens is a bearish/neutral supply event unless:

there is strong buy support ahead of the unlock, or

new utility/adoption news emerges around ONDO.

— Typically, large unlocks can: ✔ increase sell-side volume

✖ cap rallies or prolong corrections

✔ amplify volatility close to the unlock time

📌 Other Project Developments (Early 2026)

Ondo Finance has been working on:

Expanding tokenized tradable assets, such as stock and ETF tokenization on other blockchains (e.g., Solana). �

This is not immediate price news, but supports long‑term ecosystem growth.
