According to an October 31, 2026 report by Golden Finance, Ondo’s smart investment portfolio product line has expanded to Solana.

Rolling 24 hours, $SOL -0.99%; rolling 24 hours, $JUP -0.73%; rolling 24 hours, $RAY +0.47%. These are spot price movements, not data on user growth, protocol revenue, or retention. Their coinciding with the product news does not show that the news drove the market movements.
Access points address “how to find it”; aggregators affect transaction routes; and liquidity determines whether users can execute and exit trades. To establish real usage, we also need to see whether the products meet a need and whether users come back.
