and Bitcoin. At press time, the total market cap is down, sliding to $3.3 trillion, according to Coingecko.
Determined sellers are keeping bulls under pressure, having succeeded in capping Bitcoin below $95,000. While the trading environment could be gloomy, and investors may shift to risk-off, other opportunities exist.
Capital flow suggests that smart traders find value in Ondo Finance, one of the most valuable real-world asset tokenization (RWA) projects, and meme coins. Although this sub-sector has seen double-digit losses, top coins under consideration include Wall Street Pepe and Meme Index.
Ondo Finance To Unlock $1.62 Billion Worth Of Tokens
As of writing, Ondo Finance is changing hands at $1.12, down roughly 10% in 24 hours.
It was down -27% in the last trading week at spot rates. However, it is still the second-largest RWA project in the world, commanding a market cap of $1.6 billion.

On January 18, Ondo Finance will unlock $1.62 billion of ONDO.
Looking at Tokenomist data, the amount of tokens set for release is almost the value of the circulating supply.

All token unlocking events are bearish events since supply will increase.
Considering that a significant chunk of ONDO tokens will hit the market, it is highly likely that prices will drop, adjusting to the deluge in expected supply moved to exchanges.
Last year, 1.43 billion ONDO was released on the same date, and these unlocks will continue until 2029.
Therefore, before then, ONDO should be expected to come under pressure every Q1 until all tokens are unlocked. If Ondo Finance attracts more users, thanks partly to its attractive stablecoin yields, offering an average yield of 4.2%, ONDO may find support.
ONDO crypto is trading below $1.30 and may drop to $0.80.

Altcoins to Watch in 2025
With ONDO in focus and investors concerned that prices could tank, two noteworthy contenders are emerging as attractive options. Analysts are convinced Wall Street Pepe and Meme Index each offer unique opportunities for investors considering their value propositions.
Which Crypto Will Boom in 2025? It Might Be Wall Street Pepe (WEPE)
Wall Street Pepe (WEPE) aims to blend the exciting meme culture with practical and possibly profitable trading tools. In the ongoing presale, over $45 million has been raised.
Each token is available for just $0.00036645, a huge discount. Interested investors can buy WEPE using ETH, USDT, BNB, and credit cards at any time of the day as long as the presale is in progress.
That over $47 million has been raised is no surprise. Wall Street Pepe aims to empower WEPE holders, allowing them to compete with institutional players when trading.
WEPE holders will be given special access to the “WEPE Army” VIP group for trading signals and insights. They will also have the chance to participate in weekly trading activities.
Additionally, WEPE presale investors can choose to grow their stash. Wall Street Pepe currently offers a staking yield of 27%. Over 29.7 billion WEPE have been staked.
Which Crypto Will Boom in 2025? It Might Be Meme Index (MEMEX)
Meme Index (MEMEX) is yet another innovative meme coin to consider.
As meme coins grow in prominence and command billions in cumulative market cap, investors are beginning to realize just how indispensable they are.
Meme Index wants to change how meme coin investment is down by introducing a diversified, index-based strategy. Subsequently, there are four indices to choose from, each tailored to the investor’s risk profile.
Each index will adjust dynamically, reflecting the state of market conditions. This way, investors will quickly change track, providing a safe way to navigate the usually high volatility.
Meme Index has raised over $2.3 million. MEMEX is trading for $0.0151636. Once MEMEX lists leading exchanges, the token could fly.
Currently, MEMEX stakers receive a 994% APY, one of the highest in the market.
