[COINBASE] Today, Coinbase became a trending topic, mainly due to several key developments. The platform announced a new partnership with Apple Pay, allowing users to directly purchase cryptocurrency via Apple Pay, a move that was well received. Additionally, the U.S. government transferred a significant amount of Bitcoin to Coinbase, sparking speculation about potential sell-offs. Furthermore, Coinbase listed the meme coin MOODENG, leading to market discussions and speculation about possible future coin listings.
[MOODENG] As a Solana-based meme coin, MOODENG gained attention for being included in Coinbase's listing plans, causing its price and trading volume to surge. Its market cap skyrocketed from $300 million just a few months ago to a valuation poised to surpass $1 billion, prompting market discussions about its role as a key player in the meme coin space, similar to Dogecoin. This listing also fueled speculation about other potential meme coins to be listed in the future, such as PNUT and CHILLGUY. While questions remain about its long-term sustainability, this listing is seen as a positive signal for the meme coin market, attracting the attention of both retail and institutional investors.
[LINK] LINK has received widespread attention due to its recent price surge, breaking key resistance levels and hitting new all-time highs, becoming a hot topic of discussion. The discussion has emphasized LINK's partnerships with several major financial institutions (such as Swift, UBS Group, and the Central Bank of Brazil), highlighting its significant role in bridging traditional finance and blockchain technology. This narrative has sharply contrasted LINK's actual progress in institutional partnerships with XRP's perceived lack of momentum. Additionally, the integration of LINK with Europe's first tokenized securities trading platform and its increasing adoption in the financial sector have also become focal points of interest.
[AVAX] Today's discussion about AVAX has focused on its significant price increase, surpassing $50, accompanied by predictions of further growth in the future. The upcoming Avalanche9000 network upgrade scheduled for December 16 has been a focal point, with the upgrade promising enhanced interoperability and custom L1 chain creation features. The community holds an optimistic view of AVAX's potential to surpass other cryptocurrencies (such as XRP) in institutional adoption. Furthermore, the Avalanche ecosystem is expanding through new projects and partnerships (including the gaming and NFT sectors), contributing to its growing popularity.
