Analysis suggests it may reshape the internet capital market structure.

ONDO: Today, J.P. Morgan executed the first U.S. Treasury bond tokenization public blockchain transaction with Ondo Finance using Chainlink, propelling ONDO into a hotly discussed topic on Twitter.

The market sees its association with Pudgy Penguins as a typical example of NFT and meme coin ecosystem integration. The community generally expects its price to continue rising and potentially become the next leading project in the market.

This strategic partnership significantly strengthens growth expectations for the ecosystem.

Crypto KOL @himgajria (him) drove the Solana-based meme coin STARTUP to skyrocket 40X in 30 minutes through precise calls, turning his initial $10,000 investment into $430,000 rapidly.

Despite the undisclosed team and token details, leveraging community sentiment and KOL market control capabilities, the market cap surged from $450,000 to $20 million, becoming a typical representative of the Solana ecosystem speculation frenzy. him led this operation through a triple strategy of "buying the dip + social opinion manipulation + controversial marketing," highlighting the extreme effects of the current crypto market's attention economy.

2. "Crypto Adventure in MapleStory: NXPC Creates Wealth Effect, Will the Spring of Blockchain Games Return?"

The blockchain adaptation project of the classic MMORPG "MapleStory" IP, MapleStory Universe, saw its governance token NXPC surge to $3 on mainstream exchanges (reaching a fully diluted valuation of $30 billion). Fueled by nostalgia and airdrop benefits on platforms like Binance, it triggered a short-term wealth effect. The project adopts a dual-token model (NXPC+NESO) and creator-centric economic design, but fundamentally, it has not yet broken away from the traditional blockchain game loop of "main coin-sub coin-NFT." Its current market value is approaching that of top blockchain games like Decentraland. While benefiting from speculative enthusiasm in the Korean market and exchange liquidity support, challenges such as user retention during the game's public testing phase, economic model sustainability, and creator involvement remain significant obstacles to realizing long-term value. The overall recovery of the blockchain gaming sector is still subject to observation.
