Which one will be worth more?+
Nobody knows, and anyone telling you otherwise is guessing. Crypto prices depend on adoption, regulation, liquidity and sentiment, none of which can be forecast from a protocol's specs. This page deliberately compares only what is verifiable today.
Which has the scarcer supply?+
Both have a hard cap: 10.000M for Ondo and 555M for Raydium. A cap limits future issuance, but it says nothing about demand — and demand is what sets the price.
Do they use the same technology?+
No: Ondo uses — (token sobre Ethereum) and Raydium uses — (token sobre Solana). The consensus mechanism affects energy use, how the network is secured and how new coins enter circulation.
Should I hold both?+
That is a question about your risk tolerance, not about these two protocols. Crypto is a volatile asset class where you can lose your entire investment, and holding two coins in the same category adds far less diversification than it looks — they tend to move together.
