As the race to tokenize real-world assets (RWAs) accelerates, ONDO is quietly 
positioning itself as one of the most influential players in the growing 
sector. While the market shifts toward real-world asset tokenization, ONDO has 
continued to expand its footprint in tokenized finance by building products 
that bridge traditional financial markets with blockchain infrastructure. Why 
ONDO Is Emerging As A Leader In The Real-World Asset Sector ONDO Finance is 
quietly emerging as one of the most influential players in the rapidly 
expanding tokenized finance sector. A KOL manager and advisor, known as 
BitBull on X, has revealed that tokenized US Treasury products have now grown 
into a $13.7 billion market capitalization, with Ondo already ranking among 
the largest issuers in the space. Related Reading: ONDO Proves the Protocol 
Wins, Token Holders Lose – The BMIC Crypto Presale Flips That Model With Real 
Utility At the same time, tokenized stocks are gaining momentum, surpassing 
$1.5 billion in total value locked (TVL) as assets such as NCDAon, IBITon, 
MUon, and IVVon attract growing investor demand through Ondo Global markets. 
Meanwhile, the broader shift happening behind the scenes is becoming 
increasingly difficult to ignore. Users can now access the US stocks, ETFs, 
and treasury products directly on-chain, without relying on traditional 
brokerage infrastructure. While Ethereum continues to dominate the tokenized 
asset landscape, Ondo has rapidly positioned itself as one of the major 
platforms accelerating real-world asset adoption across crypto markets. 
BitBull noted that this signals a transition beyond stablecoins, with capital 
markets slowly migrating onto on-chain, and Ondo aiming to sit at the center 
of that transformation. Tokenized Stocks Could Become Ondo’s Biggest 
Opportunity ONDO is increasingly being viewed as one of the most undervalued 
opportunities in the tokenized finance sector. According to Not Telling on X, 
the project originally positioned the ONDO token strictly as a governance 
asset to avoid potential regulatory issues tied to securities laws, 
particularly around sharing protocol-generated revenue with token holders.

Acquisition However, with the introduction of a clearer regulatory framework, 
such as the CLARITY Act, the landscape may be shifting. The new guidance 
suggests that distributing protocol revenue to token holders may no longer 
automatically be classified as a security asset. At the same time, the 
evolving stance of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) toward 
tokenized assets is reinforcing Ondo&#8217;s position as the best. The platform is 
already a dominant player in tokenized stocks, reportedly controlling a 
significant 60% shares of the market. If Ondo moves forward with the revenue- 
sharing protocol with token holders, the combination of real yield and strong 
positioning in tokenized real-world assets could significantly reprice the 
token. In that scenario, ONDO&#8217;s trajectory toward becoming a top-tier crypto 
asset, potentially breaking into the top 10 or even top 5, would come into 
focus. Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan issued a strongly bullish view on 
Hyperliquid and its native token, HYPE, shortly after Bitwise launched a HYPE 
exchange-traded fund (ETF) last week. In his comments, Hougan argued that the 
market is mispricing Hyperliquid’s broader business model—treating it as 
essentially just another perpetual futures venue. Hyperliquid As A Global 
Super App Hougan said Hyperliquid appears to be caught in what he described as 
a “pricing error,” with investors valuing the platform as little more than a 
perpetual futures exchange. In contrast, he framed Hyperliquid as a global 
financial “super app,” one that is moving beyond the boundaries of crypto and 
expanding into areas such as stocks, commodities, foreign exchange, and 
prediction markets. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Meltdown: What’s Behind The 
Drop To $76,000, And What’s Next As part of his valuation perspective, Hougan 
estimated the platform’s annual revenue could be in the range of about $800 
million to $1 billion, suggesting room for the business to scale well beyond 
how it’s currently categorized by the market. A key element of Hougan’s case 
involves Hyperliquid’s fee model. He pointed to a structure in which 99% of 
trading fees are directed toward HYPE token buybacks, describing it as a 
mechanism that helps support value rather than simply extracting revenue 
without a token-linked benefit. That, he said, aligns incentives in a way that 
differs from what investors may be assuming when they treat Hyperliquid as a 
standard trading platform. HYPE Approaches All-Time Highs Hougan also 
emphasized that HYPE’s recent performance does not change his view that the 
token remains undervalued. He noted that HYPE is up by 77% this year, yet he 
believes the market still hasn’t fully credited Hyperliquid’s long-term 
trajectory. In his view, Hyperliquid’s real opportunity is not just to grow as 
a rapidly expanding crypto perpetual exchange, but to evolve into a broader 
trading super app spanning stocks, pre-IPO assets, commodities, prediction 
markets, and crypto assets. Related Reading: Zcash, Bitcoin, And 
Solana—Catalysts Ahead That Could Fuel Another Upswing Before May Ends The 
bullish remarks come as interest in HYPE gained another boost from ETF 
activity. Along with Bitwise’s launch of a Hyperliquid ETF tied to HYPE, 
21Shares introduced its own HYPE ETF earlier in the month. Following those 
launches, HYPE surged—recording massive gains of nearly 20% in the past week 
alone. At the time of writing, HYPE was trading just above the key $48 mark, 
only 18% below all-time high levels of $59 reached last year. Featured image

Bitwise Bullish on Hyperliquid: HYPE Labeled ‘Undervalued’ As It Rallies 20%

XRP is making its boldest move yet into mainstream finance as two of the 
biggest names in traditional finance are stepping deeper into crypto. The CME 
Group and Nasdaq have announced plans to introduce a new crypto index futures 
product, and XRP is included in the basket. The contract will give 
institutional investors regulated access to a range of digital assets through 
a single product, opening the door to the trillion-dollar Wall Street market. 
CME And Nasdaq To Launch XRP-Inclusive Crypto Index Futures In a landmark 
move, the CME Group and Nasdaq are set to launch the Nasdaq CME Crypto Index 
Futures on June 8, marking the first-ever market-cap-weighted crypto index 
futures contract. The single cash-settled product will give institutional 
investors regulated exposure to a basket of digital assets, including Bitcoin, 
Ethereum, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Chainlink, and Stellar. Related Reading: If 
You’re Holding XRP, This Pundit Says You Should See This Crypto expert Pumpius 
was among the few analysts to speak about the development on X, describing it 
as a turning point for XRP and the broader crypto market. He noted that XRP is 
now being integrated into Wall Street as traditional finance goes all-in on 
digital assets. For XRP holders in particular, Pumpius said the token is 
finally transitioning from a speculative asset to a core institutional 
holding. Adding more context to the recent development, market analyst 
Ripplexity said that crypto futures volume at CME has skyrocketed by 43% so 
far this year, reflecting just how high the demand is for regulated crypto 
products. He also said that the upcoming index futures contract will be 
settled using the Nasdaq CME Crypto Settlement Price Index, which already 
includes XRP. CME Moves To 24/7 Trading Ahead Of June Launch Crypto analyst 
SMQKE offered a broader view of the new milestone and its implications for the 
crypto industry. He described the CME Group as the world&#8217;s largest and most 
important derivatives exchange, noting that its partnership with Nasdaq could 
bring institutional capital into the altcoin market through a fully regulated 
channel. Related Reading: Market Analyst Outlines How The XRP Price Will Reach 
$300 And What Everyone Is Missing SMQKE also highlighted a major operational 
change happening before the June index launch. Starting May 29, the CME Group 
will reportedly shift its crypto futures and options trading to a 24/7 
schedule, a move designed to match the round-the-clock nature of crypto 
markets. The analyst said that this will be a massive shift and a clear 
example of how fast the traditional finance sector is catching up to crypto 
technology. SMQKE also pointed out that XRP, Stellar, and Cardano are all ISO 
20022-compliant tokens and that their inclusion in this derivatives product 
signals a deeper integration into mainstream finance. As the June 8 date 
approaches, market participants are still waiting on regulatory approval from 
the CFTC. According to SMQKE, the CME and Nasdaq partnership is likely to pave 
the way for further institutional adoption of digital assets and decentralized 
technologies. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
