As BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK) aggressively accelerated its digital asset and blockchain footprint, as Finbold reported, Ondo (ONDO), the governance token for the Ondo Finance ecosystem and the Ondo DAO, has emerged as a primary beneficiary.
Over the past 24 hours through September 24, 2026, Ondo’s price rocketed by 24.19%, trading at approximately $0.517 at the time of writing.

This significant uptick for the ONDO ERC-20 token was catalyzed by a partnership announcement with BlackRock earlier on Thursday. Ondo Finance announced the launch of Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, a suite of tokenized and multi-asset investment portfolios built around model strategies, developed by BlackRock.
The initial rollout debuts three distinct portfolio tokens – including BLKHIon for high income, BLKDIGon for diversified growth, and BLKGRWon for high growth. As such, Ondo Intelligent Portfolios ensures eligible non-United States investors access single-token model asset allocations from BlackRock through tokenization of real-world assets (RWA).

During m the last 24 hours, this token recorded a 175% uptick in its trading volume to roughly $751 million, according to metrics from CoinMarketCap.
Consequently, the Ondo token is well positioned to benefit from the rising tokenization of RWAs, fueled by BlackRock’s partnership amid crypto regulatory clarity.
