The Discount Rack
BTC plunged below $90,000 amid recent volatility, hitting a six-month low. XRP's ETF debut flashed and faded, while BTC ETFs saw their biggest outflows since August. Institutional deleveraging from DAT added to the slide.
Still, stablecoins stay firm, and Alibaba's tokenized-fiat collaboration with JPMorgan proves the rails are still moving forward, even in a down market.

Back to Basics
Speed alone doesn't make a winner, but Monad is making sure no one can call it slow. Its testnet has already processed 3.2 billion transactions, peaking at 34 million per day, all while keeping decentralization intact.
Now live with a public token sale on Coinbase: 7.5 billion at $0.025 each (~$2.5B FDV). The chain targets 10,000 TPS, 303 dApps, DEX integrations, and native USDC support at launch.
Still, high-performance blockspace is becoming abundant faster than demand can catch up. Monad's challenge isn't just speed. It's proving why the market needs more of it.
Our MON Launchpad offers a front-row seat to the next wave of L1 innovation.
