$PING's 100-fold profit has set the market on fire. Will the x402 protocol replicate the inscription craze?

$PING's 100-fold profit has set the market on fire. Will the x402 protocol replicate the inscription craze?

Author: Cookie Yesterday, a special "golden dog" was born on Base: $PING. Based on the cost of a new mint and the current price, a successful mint yields a return of approximately 18x. (With a current market capitalization of $18 million, the return from a new mint is nearly 100x.) What's unique about $PING is that its minting is reminiscent of the inscription from two years ago. The cost of minting a $PING is approximately $1, and if successful, 5,000 $PING are awarded. The minting page for $PING, like the inscription from that year, lacks a sophisticated front-end and appears rather rigid. This is the first token issued through the x402 protocol. So, what is the x402 protocol? Why is the minting process for $PING so unique? And what is the current state of the protocol ecosystem? What is the x402 protocol? x402 is an open payment protocol developed by Coinbase that enables AI agents to complete transactions autonomously. The x402 protocol utilizes the long-standing "reserved" HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code to require payment before completing an API request or loading a web page. If an API request lacks payment information, x402 returns an HTTP 402 status code, prompting the client to pay and retry the request. The following protocol workflow diagram intuitively explains the operation process of the x402 protocol: A user makes a request to Claude, "Use my Coinbase wallet to buy me a pair of jeans on Amazon." Upon receiving the request, the AI initiates a purchase request to Amazon, which then constructs a preliminary transaction, including the wallet address, blockchain, currency, and amount. The AI then sends this transaction to the x402 protocol's validator, which verifies that the wallet has sufficient assets on the corresponding blockchain, that the item is tradable, and that the user has confirmed authorization. Once this is complete, the transaction is completed, along with proof of payment, by sending the amount and payment verification to the merchant. Overall, the HTTP 402 status code serves as a "message" in the protocol, indicating whether a transaction was successful. Coinbase, based on this status code, added blockchain-based payment functionality, resulting in the x402 protocol. While it may sound simple, the protocol flow above offers two exciting aspects. First, it further simplifies the channels through which on-chain assets are used for actual payments. Users no longer need to withdraw funds into fiat currency for purchases; instead, they can directly use USDT, USDC, or even other on-chain assets. However, achieving this goal requires widespread rollout and sufficient merchant adoption and support. Any web API or content provider (crypto or Web2) that wants to provide a low-cost, frictionless payment path for small or usage-based transactions can integrate x402. The second point is AI agents. As payers and payees, AI agents are well-suited to blockchain payments because, unlike humans, they don't inherently possess bank or payment app accounts through KYC. As AI agents continue to improve their intelligence, we can expect novel consumer and on-chain experiences. This workflow also explains why the minting process for $PING is similar to an inscription, as it requires confirmation by the x402 validator. During the minting process, the large number of minting requests not only repeatedly overwhelmed the minting interface, but also provided the x402 protocol with a real stress test for the first time. Data from the past 30 days shows that $PING's interface has received more than 150,000 x402 transactions, with a total amount of approximately $140,000, far ahead of the second-ranked Questflow. This is the first time in the nearly six months since the launch of the x402 protocol that it has attracted such buzz and recognition. Regardless of the chain or protocol, new asset issuance is always a perennial hot topic in the cryptocurrency world. x402 Ecosystem Overview So, besides $PING, what other projects in the x402 protocol are worth paying attention to? The Ecosystem page on the x402 protocol's official website provides a summary of current projects. Clicking through each project reveals that the protocol is still in its early stages of development. Many projects directly lead to technical documentation or Github links. Here we summarize some projects that already have tokens or are about to issue tokens. Questflow A multi-AI agent work sequencing layer enables multiple AI agents to autonomously coordinate and execute tasks. In July of this year, the company announced the completion of a $6.5 million seed round of financing, led by Cyber Fund, with participation from Delphi Labs, Systemic Ventures, Eden Block, HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands, and Tezos. The company also received grants from Coinbase Developer Platform, Aptos, and Virtuals. There is no official token yet, but in December last year, it jointly launched $SANTA with Virtuals, an autonomous Agent cluster built using Questflow's QDP (Questflow Developer Platform) and MAOP (Multi-Agent Orchestration Protocol). $SANTA's current market capitalization is approximately $4.5 million. AurraCloud AI agent infrastructure for crypto-native applications. Instantly host AI agents using OpenAI-compatible APIs or MCP servers, and monetize AI through the on-chain x402 protocol on Base. In addition, the project also provided x402 verification services earlier this month. The token $AURA was launched through Virtuals and currently has a market capitalization of approximately $1.6 million. Meridian Incubated by uOS, it provides multi-chain settlement and custody services based on the x402 protocol. The token $MRDN currently has a market capitalization of approximately $1.5 million. PayAI Provides multi-chain x402 payment service support including Solana, and also provides x402 verification services. The token $PAYAI currently has a market capitalization of approximately $5 million. Daydreams The LLM reasoning process that supports x402 is provided for applications and AI agents. At the same time, Lucid is being built, a platform where anyone can deploy Daydreams agents to solve problems. Users pay USDC by signing transactions through x402, and agents can pay each other for access. The $dreams token currently has a market capitalization of approximately $6.7 million. Gloria AI A real-time news platform built for traders, creators, AI agents, and automated systems. Services can be paid for in $GLORIA through x402. The current market capitalization of the $GLORIA token is approximately $1.65 million. Kite AI Kite AI is building the foundational transaction layer for the "Agentic Internet," providing unified identity, payment, and governance infrastructure for autonomous agents. Kite AI's work is closely related to x402, having announced support for x402 as early as July. Kite AI is arguably the only project within the x402 ecosystem that can be categorized as a "chain." On September 2, Fortune reported that Kite AI announced it had raised a total of US$33 million in financing, with the latest Series A funding amounting to US$18 million. The round was led by PayPal Ventures and General Catalyst, with participation from 8VC, Samsung Next, SBI US Gateway Fund, Vertex Ventures, Hashed, HashKey Capital, Dispersion Capital, Alumni Ventures, Avalanche Foundation, GSR Markets, LayerZero, Animoca Brands, Essence VC, and Alchemy. Kite AI has not yet issued a token, but the Kite Foundation X account was recently launched, confirming that a token issuance is imminent. Currently, the tradable asset is the official FLY THE KITE NFT, with a floor price of 0.375 ETH. Conclusion In September of this year, Coinbase and Cloudflare announced they would jointly establish the x402 Foundation to promote protocol development. While there are some similar competitors, such as bitGPT's h402 and Radius's EVMAuth, x402 undoubtedly has the strongest background and the highest level of attention. If $PING's market capitalization surges, x402 will gain more market attention. This is good news not only for meme coins but also for infrastructure projects.

VyFinance Launches cstAPEX to Bring 10% APY Cardano Staking Yields to Multi-Chain DeFi

The post VyFinance Launches cstAPEX to Bring 10% APY Cardano Staking Yields to Multi-Chain DeFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Although the token is now only available on Cardano, there are already efforts to expand cstAPEX to EVM chains, which will soon link Cardano’s native DeFi yield. Offering Cardano users up to 10% APY, it replicates the staking mechanisms of APEX on Prime and is designed to eventually blend in seamlessly with EVM-based apps. To recreate the projected 10% APY return of staking APEX on Prime, VyFinance, one of Cardano’s most well-known DeFi protocols, has introduced cstAPEX, a staked version of the APEX token. The launch is a significant milestone for Cardano’s decentralized finance sector, strengthening the company’s high-assurance, UTxO-based ecosystem and setting the stage for Apex Fusion’s compatibility with EVM-compatible networks. In keeping with its expanding position within Apex Fusion’s interoperable ecosystem, VyFinance created and implemented cstAPEX exclusively on Cardano. Although the token is now only available on Cardano, there are already efforts to expand cstAPEX to EVM chains, which will soon link Cardano’s native DeFi yield to the larger multi-chain landscape. “This partnership with VyFinance brings Cardano’s DeFi innovation into the heart of the interoperable Web3 world,” said Christopher Greenwood, COO of the Apex Fusion Foundation. “Together, we’re creating a pathway for Cardano-native liquidity to flow across global DeFi, from UTxO-based execution to the broader EVM landscape.” The new cstAPEX token is intended to be cross-chain ready as well as yield-bearing. Offering Cardano users up to 10% APY, it replicates the staking mechanisms of APEX on Prime and is designed to eventually blend in seamlessly with EVM-based apps. This essentially places Cardano at the core of developing multi-chain liquidity flows by making cstAPEX a future-ready, definable DeFi instrument. “We see enormous potential in making Cardano DeFi interoperable through Apex Fusion’s architecture,” said Steven, CEO of VyFinance. “Cardano’s DeFi protocols have built strong fundamentals — stability, security, and yield.…

Bitcoin Hyper Is the Fastest Layer-2, Raises $24.6M in Viral Presale: Next Crypto to Explode?

Bitcoin Hyper Is the Fastest Layer-2, Raises $24.6M in Viral Presale: Next Crypto to Explode?

The post Bitcoin Hyper Is the Fastest Layer-2, Raises $24.6M in Viral Presale: Next Crypto to Explode? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin, the $1.3T foundation of the digital economy, is trapped in a paradox: it is the most secure asset in the world, yet the least functional for modern dApps. That is, until now, thanks to Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). KEY POINTS:➡️ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a Layer-2 solution designed to unlock the massive utility of the most secure asset, Bitcoin, for modern dApps.➡️ Bitcoin Hyper gets hyper-speed execution and low latency by integrating a highly optimized version of the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).➡️ Transactions are anchored back to the Bitcoin Layer-1 via a Canonical Bridge, offering Solana’s speed with zero compromise on Bitcoin’s foundational security. Bitcoin’s slow block times and high fees have kept it a store of value, isolating it from the high-speed worlds of DeFi and GameFi. The market’s patience has run out, and its money has moved. That money is now flowing into Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), the next crypto to explode. This Layer-2 solution is not just an upgrade; it’s an engineering breakthrough, confirmed by a viral presale that has already raised a staggering $24.6M as investors rush to back the first project to truly unlock Bitcoin’s utility. Why Your Bitcoin is Stuck in Digital Glue You can’t build the future on a network that moves at a glacial pace. Bitcoin’s design, it was intentional, yes, has left us with some major pain points that keep it on the sidelines: The Speed Trap: 7 Transactions Per Second Seven. That’s the most transactions Bitcoin can handle every second. Meanwhile, major competitors like Solana handle tens of thousands. When the network is busy, fees skyrocket, and your transaction can take a long time to confirm. The Isolation Chamber: No Smart Contracts DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, the things that make crypto exciting, run on programmable blockchains. Bitcoin offers none of that. It’s…

What Truly Sets It Apart Today

What Truly Sets It Apart Today

The post What Truly Sets It Apart Today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin is not “crypto” An X post from Jack Dorsey revived an old question: Is Bitcoin part of “crypto” or a category of its own? On Oct. 19, 2025, Jack Dorsey posted three words on X: “bitcoin is not crypto.” The post quickly drew attention across the platform and in media coverage. It reflected a view he has long maintained, that Bitcoin should be regarded as money with its own rules and history, not included in the broader token market. Source: Jack Dorsey Dorsey argues that Bitcoin (BTC) belongs in a separate category. It was launched without a foundation or premine and is governed conservatively. The network is designed for payments and savings, unlike smart contract platforms and app tokens that evolve quickly and serve multiple use cases. Let’s unpack the argument. To understand why, it helps to look at how Bitcoin’s design, governance and regulation differ from the rest of the crypto world. Did you know? El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. The law was passed on June 9, 2021, and took effect on Sept. 7, 2021. Monetary policy and issuance: Fixed rules vs. flexible policy Starting with supply, Bitcoin’s issuance follows a fixed schedule, while most other networks treat supply as a tunable feature. New coins are issued as block rewards, which halve roughly every 210,000 blocks until the total supply reaches 21 million BTC. The fourth halving occurred at block 840,000 in April 2024, reducing the reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Each reduction makes miners depend more on transaction fees and less on new issuance. Changing Bitcoin’s issuance would require overwhelming social consensus among users running nodes, allowing investors to model supply years in advance. That predictability remains a core part of its “store-of-value” appeal. Most other networks approach monetary…
