$4.9 Million

+787%

The memecoin $TIME became the first token to launch on Raydium’s new LaunchLab and quickly exploded to a $4.9 million market cap, rising 787% today. Based on a strange character who claims to split each day into thirds and live 21 days per week, $TIME taps into surreal meme energy with powerful price action to match. LaunchLab is Raydium’s new token launchpad designed as a direct competitor to pump.fun. It offers linear, exponential, and logarithmic bonding curves, supports multiple quote tokens, and integrates with Raydium's liquidity provider tools.

President Trump is developing a crypto video game with a real estate theme inspired by Monopoly. The game will allow players to earn in-game currency and build digital cities, blending blockchain elements with gameplay mechanics. It adds to the Trump family's growing crypto portfolio, which already includes NFTs, a memecoin, a stablecoin project, and Bitcoin mining operations. The project is being led by Bill Zanker, a longtime Trump associate involved in previous crypto ventures. Following the announcement, the $TRUMP token climbed 1.8 percent to a $1.5 billion market cap.

TRON SHOCKS PEOPLE WITH Q1 NUMBERS!!!

$TRON

$24.2 Billion

+2.6%

TRON posted a strong first quarter in 2025, with Messari reporting a 2.7% increase in revenue to $760.2 million, an all-time high for the network. Stablecoin activity remained dominant, with USDT on TRON reaching $65.7 billion in supply and averaging $19 billion in daily transfers. Despite a 36.7% drop in DeFi TVL to $4.7 billion, TRON’s DEX volume rose 14.2% and its staking ratio remained resilient at 45.3%, even after the TRX circulating supply jumped from 86.6 billion to 95.0 billion. Network usage grew, with active addresses up 6.5% and CeFi activity surging 162.1%, although new address creation and stablecoin transfers declined. Technical upgrades like Smart Wallets and gas-free USDT transfers were introduced, and TRON continued to decentralize with 8,008 nodes across 84 regions. With a 2.6% rise in market cap to $24 billion, TRON has solidified its position as a leading player in stablecoin infrastructure and decentralized resource management.
