Injective (INJ) jumps over 5% as price nears $6 amid volume surge and market rebound

  • Injective price is up by over 5% in the past 24 hours, trading to an intraday high of $5.85.
  • Bulls could gain towards $10 but that is contingent on breaching $6 resistance.
  • INJ will ride broader market conditions and key network developments.

Injective’s native token is among the altcoins to post gains on December 8, 2025, rising more than 5% to highs of $5.85 as investor attention shifts ahead of a big week for risk asset markets.

INJ price looked to rise in a sharp rebound to $6, a level that provided the latest downward pressure on Dec. 4.

Notably, Injective’s surge arrives amid heightened trading activity.

Injective price rises to near $6 amid volume spike

Injective’s price trajectory has been in a downtrend since its all-time high of $52.75 in March 2024. As such, the token is $89% since that peak and 25% down in the past month.

However, the latest gains across the market have helped bulls, and INJ has rebounded from support around $5.

INJ traded at $5.71 at the time of writing, up more than 5% in the past 24 hours.

Bulls reached highs of $5.85 as they came close to the $6 psychological barrier. Trading volume also surged to $67 million, increasing by over 52% in the last 24 hours.

Why is Injective price up?

The token’s price gained alongside Bitcoin’s push to above $92,000, and Ethereum’s rebound above $3,100.

A similar uptick for the broader crypto market seems to have bolstered Injective.

Analysts have also attributed the spike to Injective’s recent integration with DexTools, exposing the chain to 15 million users for real-time asset monitoring.

Key appears to be momentum from Helix, a major decentralized spot and derivatives exchange for the INJ ecosystem.

The DeFi app’s upgrade that enabled gas-free, 24/7 trading of stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies recently went live.

Meanwhile, the community has responded positively to a governance proposal and approval of a mechanism for on-chain equity pricing.

Moreover, traction across stablecoin deployments and real-world asset (RWA) initiatives has played a huge role.

INJ price forecast

Although the 24-hour high of $5.85 saw bulls flirt with $6, the technical picture is currently mixed. The broader price trajectory remains in a downtrend. An extension of this could spell doom for buyers.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers at 44 and below the neutral level.

However, the indicator is upsloping and signaling a potential breakout. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows weak bullish momentum. The indicator flashed a bullish crossover recently.

Looking ahead, INJ’s path bifurcates between bullish breakouts and cautious consolidation.

In the short term, a breakout above $6 will allow bulls to target $8.22 and then $10. Conversely, a dip below $5.05 could spell danger for buyers.

ONDO price soars as SEC ends confidential investigation with no charges

  • The regulator has closed its probe without filing any charges.
  • The move removes a cloud of uncertainty that had lingered since 2024.
  • ONDO price jumped as the community welcomed regulatory clarity.

The cryptocurrency industry exhibited a bullish stance on Monday as Bitcoin steadied above $91,500.

While the altcoin space recorded brief gains in the past day, ONDO jumped sharply on its 24-hour price chart, gaining more than 6% within minutes.

The uptick emerged after Ondo Finance confirmed that the United States Securities & Exchange Commission has concluded its Biden-era probe into the RWA company.

Most importantly, the regulator has ended the investigation without enforcement actions or charges against Ondo Finance.

The clean outcome renewed optimism across markets, with traders perceiving the move as a rare development in regulatory clarity within a turbulent market.

Meanwhile, the team promises to leverage this moment to democratize the US capital markets with tokenization.

Today’s announcement read:

The path is now clearer than ever for tokenized Treasuries and tokenized equities to become core components of US capital markets. The future of global finance will be on-chain, and Ondo will help lead the transition.

ONDO’s price jumped from $0.4697 to $0.4999, an over 6% increase, almost immediately after the X post.

Notably, the scrutiny began last year, in 2024, and focused on whether native ONDO violated securities laws and whether the company’s tokenization of real-world assets and US Treasuries adhered to the federal financial rules.

A shift in regulatory stance

Indeed, the US SEC has been crypto-friendly under the Trump administration and the new chair, Paul Atkins.

The regulator has closed multiple high-profile cases recently, including those tied to Ripple and Coinbase.

Also, Donald Trump pardoned Binance founder CZ for wrongdoings that saw him spend four months in prison.

These developments confirmed a shift in the United States regulatory tone, from constant clampdowns to clarity.

Rather than resorting to enforcement actions, officials are now willing to accommodate blockchain and crypto projects while exploring models that support innovative markets.

Ondo’s latest purchase of licensed Oasis Pro Markets aligns with the ongoing regulatory transitions.

Moreover, these trends suggest that American capital markets could be preparing to migrate to on-chain assets at a significant scale.

The Ondo Finance team highlighted the accelerating demand for tokenization, with US regulators displaying interest in the sector’s future potential to enhance transparency, market efficiency, and transaction speed.

They said:

The SEC is openly engaging with industry to unlock the promise of tokenization for US capital markets, global adoption continues to accelerate, and US infrastructure is evolving to support the category.

Now that the investigation has ended, all eyes remain on February 3, 2026, when Ondo Finance will host the New York Summit.

Expectations around the conference have increased as the community expects the project to introduce its long-term mission without the SEC’s uncertainty.

ONDO price outlook

The altcoin displayed a bullish performance, trading at $0.4843 after a brief dip from its intraday high.

ONDO’s 24-hour trading volume has increased by more than 300% amid renewed interest in the altcoin.
