Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). They provide investors with curated access to token sales while offering startups a community-driven capital injection. In 2026, launchpads have evolved into full-stack incubators, focusing on project quality and long-term sustainability. Follow this tag for the latest in token distribution models, tier-based participation, and the emergence of the next generation of "unicorn" protocols across various blockchain ecosystems.

Bitmine Scoops Up Another 28,625 Ethereum ($82.1M) as Market Bleeds – Details

Bitmine Scoops Up Another 28,625 Ethereum ($82.1M) as Market Bleeds – Details

Ethereum is fighting to hold the $2,800 level after a brutal correction that has erased more than 45% of its value since late August. The sharp decline has flipped market sentiment decisively bearish, with many traders fearing that ETH has entered a prolonged downtrend. Bulls are struggling to establish a reliable support level, and the lack of strong buy-side reaction so far has only intensified uncertainty. Liquidity continues to thin out across major exchanges, reinforcing the narrative that the market is still deep in a risk-off phase.

In fact, some are doubling down. Fresh on-chain data from Lookonchain reveals that Tom Lee’s Bitmine — a well-known crypto-focused investment operation—continues to buy ETH aggressively at current prices. Bitmine has been one of the few entities consistently adding to its position during the downturn, signaling strong conviction that Ethereum remains undervalued in the long term. This divergence between retail fear and whale accumulation is becoming increasingly notable. As ETH hovers around a critical psychological level, the coming days may determine whether this whale’s confidence translates into broader market stabilization or remains an isolated bet against the prevailing trend. Bitmine’s Aggressive Accumulation Signals Confidence According to Lookonchain, Tom Lee’s Bitmine has continued its aggressive accumulation, purchasing another 28,625 ETH worth $82.11 million. This move reinforces the growing narrative that some of the market’s most sophisticated players are positioning for a rebound despite the prevailing fear and relentless selling pressure. Large-scale buying during deep corrections has historically aligned with early reversal zones, and Bitmine’s conviction adds weight to the idea that Ethereum may be approaching a significant turning point. Still, a recovery is far from guaranteed. ETH remains trapped near the $2,800 zone, a level that has acted as a fragile line of defense during this downturn. For momentum to shift, Ethereum must not only hold this area but also reclaim the $3,000 mark, which has now flipped into an important resistance zone. A decisive move above this level would signal that buyers are finally stepping back in with strength, potentially setting the stage for a broader trend reversal. Until then, the situation remains delicate. Bitmine’s accumulation offers a bullish signal, but without confirmation from price structure, Ethereum continues to walk a tightrope. A failure to hold current levels could invite another wave of capitulation, but stability here may spark the rebound whales seem to be anticipating.

Price has now pulled back to around $2,800, a level that aligns closely with the 200-week moving average—a historically important area where ETH has often found long-term support. This zone previously acted as a launchpad during major market reversals in both 2022 and mid-2023, making its defense crucial for maintaining broader structural strength. The recent breakdown below the 50- and 100-week moving averages highlights the intensity of the current selloff. Momentum clearly shifted in favor of bears over the past weeks, with several large red candles confirming aggressive distribution. However, ETH’s current stabilization attempt above the 200-week MA signals that buyers are finally stepping in, preventing a deeper slide toward $2,400.

Monad Mainnet Officially Launches, Ushering in a New Era of High-Performance Blockchain Infrastructure

The much-anticipated Monad Mainnet is now live, one of the biggest blockchain rollouts of the year, and the precursor of a highly scalable, parallelized execution environment that would deliver up to 10,000 transactions per second. The message was distributed via the primary social media of the project, and Monad invited the users to visit the recently established ecosystem through the application app.monad.xyz. Monad Mainnet is now live!Check it out here: https://t.co/emewXRKtNEhttps://t.co/emewXRKtNE— Monad (mainnet arc) (@monad) November 24, 2025 Monad, an up-and-coming Layer 1 blockchain, with parallel execution features and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible infrastructure, has gained massive hype in Web3 because of its ability to achieve higher throughput, quicker transaction finality and developer-friendly architecture.  Governance Takes Shape with the Mon-Genesis Eco Forum After the mainnet announcement, the community was given another significant update with the launch of the Mon-Genesis Eco Forum v0.1, a new governance and community coordination center. The forum promotes early members to get involved in governance proposals, ecosystem project and long-term development planning of Monad. The announcement states that those who contribute early can be in a position to get augmented MON allocations in Q4 and this will serve as an incentive to participate in governance in these formative months.  This layer of the governance indicates that Monad cares about decentralization and making decisions collectively as it starts to become global blockchain platform. Staking MON Goes Live Across Validator Networks The MON token staking is now on and the mainnet is active in various validator portal allowing users to stake their tokens and earn the rewards by ensuring the security of the network. Delegation is offered on the gmonads.com dashboard and in the BlockVision staking interface, with delegators having a variety of choices to allocate stake to a worldwide network of validators. The staking model makes MON holders stakeholders in the chain performance and security. With the expansion of the number of validators and delegation, the decentralized security model of Monad is set to become stronger and more varied, with the capacity to supply the increased throughput that the chain will be designed to provide Curated Vaults Expand DeFi Access for MON and AUSD The other significant item in the ecosystem rollout is the launch of curated DeFi vaults aimed at simplifying the generation of yields to the users.  The MON Vault, managed by Steakhouse, provides an actively maintained strategy to MON holders, and the statistics indicate that a total of 21.6K dollars of value is locked. MVT is issued to participants as a token of deposit, which allows the flow of liquidity and easy accounting. Simultaneously, the Agora EarnAUSD vault run by Upshift has already achieved a total value locked of 5 million dollars. The vault offers a token of liquid yield, EarnAUSD, that allows users to earn yield on AUSD and retain the flexibility to access their assets. These vaults are some of the first DeFi products on Monad and they are the start of a fast-growing financial ecosystem. DeFi at the Speed of Monad Such categories as spot trading, perpetual derivatives, launchpads, lending and borrowing protocols are now part of the Monad eco system. Having numerous applications within each category, DeFi Teams have started implementing applications that are suited to the parallel execution model of Monad.  The early users will be able to visit six spot trading platforms, two perp trading venues, five launchpad and four lending/borrowing protocols.

ETH Hits 364 TPS Avg While Traders Watch Key Discount Zone

ETH Hits 364 TPS Avg While Traders Watch Key Discount Zone

The post ETH Hits 364 TPS Avg While Traders Watch Key Discount Zone appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum is entering a pivotal phase as its network processes record transaction loads, even while net supply turns modestly inflationary again. At the same time, traders highlight a repeating wave pattern with a fresh “discount zone” on the chart, framing the current pullback as a potential launchpad for the next major move. Ethereum Network Sets New TPS Record as Layer 2s Lead Activity The Ethereum ecosystem has set a new record for daily average transactions per second, according to data cited by ChainCatcher from growthepie. Over the past 7 days, average daily TPS reached 364.52, while peak throughput hit 24,192 TPS, underscoring how much activity is now flowing through the network’s broader stack. Ethereum Daily TPS Chart. Source: Joseph Young/growthepie.com At the same time, Layer 2 solutions accounted for about 95.35 percent of total TPS, highlighting their growing role in handling user demand and scaling workloads off the main chain. In addition, the Perp DEX Lighter contributed a significant share of this traffic, further reinforcing the shift of trading and derivatives activity toward Ethereum’s Layer 2 market. Ethereum Supply Turns Net Positive Over the Past Week Ethereum’s supply has ticked higher over the last seven days, with net issuance rising by 18,019 ETH, according to data from Ultrasound.money. The increase lifts the total supply to 121,234,582 ETH and reflects an annualized growth rate of about 0.776 percent. At the same time, the figures show Ethereum running in a mildly inflationary mode after recent stretches of low on-chain fees and slower burn activity. The move contrasts with earlier periods when strong demand pushed more ETH to be burned than issued, briefly turning the asset deflationary. Ethereum Chart Highlights Repeating Wave Structure Meanwhile, Ethereum’s chart shows a recurring three-wave pattern that the analyst labels as ignition, correction and expansion. The structure appears…
