Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 23rd, 2025, Chainwire
Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, today shared insights from its Head of Derivatives, Shunyet Jan, following Bitcoin’s surge to a new all-time high. Shunyet attributes the historic rally to a powerful alignment of market catalysts and macroeconomic shifts, and projects continued upside if current conditions hold.
“Bitcoin’s climb to this all-time high underscores a transformative moment in the evolution of global finance,” said Shunyet. “We’re seeing a unique convergence of factors—regulatory clarity, institutional inflows, and macroeconomic shifts—that are accelerating mainstream adoption.”
Shunyet identifies three core drivers behind Bitcoin’s rally:
Regulatory Clarity on Stablecoins:
“The emergence of comprehensive legislation—such as the GENIUS Act—is establishing clearer guardrails for stablecoins. This fosters greater institutional confidence and reinforces the foundational infrastructure needed for broader crypto adoption.”
Sustained Spot ETF Inflows:
“Robust and consistent capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs signal that institutional investors are embracing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. These vehicles offer regulated access points, unlocking new sources of liquidity and long-term demand.”
Weaker US Dollar and Inverse Correlation:
“Bitcoin’s global nature makes it particularly responsive to macro trends. With the US dollar weakening, Bitcoin has benefited as an alternative store of value, further cementing its role as digital gold.”
While Bitcoin leads the current rally, Shunyet notes a measured outlook for the broader crypto market: “Ethereum and other large-cap digital assets are likely to benefit from Bitcoin’s momentum,” Shunyet added. “However, high interest rates and lingering macroeconomic uncertainty may limit upside potential for smaller altcoins in the near term.”
Looking ahead, Shunyet offered a bold projection:
“If current trends continue, our analysis suggests Bitcoin could reach $125,000 by the end of Q2. We remain bullish on Bitcoin’s role in shaping the future of finance.”
Bybit continues to provide a trusted, high-performance platform for both retail and institutional participants, enabling access to cutting-edge trading tools and a deep, liquid market.

Solana users will be able to transact with Dogecoin securely, powered by Psy and Wormhole, tapping into a $36B asset and its vast community for DeFi, gaming & more.
Psy (formerly QED Protocol) has developed a trustless bridge connecting Dogecoin to the Solana blockchain. This innovation brings proof-of-work security to Solana while making Dogecoin, the world’s largest memecoin, available to Solana’s ecosystem of dapps.
This innovation allows Solana and Dogecoin to directly ‘speak’ to each other, with each blockchain able to independently verify the other’s transactions and consensus without requiring trust in third parties.
The bridge not only enhances security but also creates substantial ecosystem opportunities. Bringing Dogecoin’s $36B+ market cap and massive community to Solana opens new possibilities for both networks. Dogecoin users gain access to Solana’s DeFi, NFT, and gaming applications, while Solana developers can tap into Dogecoin’s extensive user base.
Unlike traditional bridges, which often rely on multisig signers or custodians, Psy’s next-generation proof-of-work technology validates Dogecoin Proof of Work consensus directly on Solana. This trust-minimized approach helps address a major weakness in crypto infrastructure: bridge hacks, which have caused more than $2.8 billion in losses to date.
This positions Psy as the leading proof-of-work innovator for Solana, bridging the security benefits of proof-of-work with Solana’s speed and programmability. This integration demonstrates that new proof-of-work chains, like Psy’s, can interact with high-performance blockchains without sacrificing security or requiring centralized intermediaries.
This bridge continues Psy Protocol’s mission to empower developers to build hyper-scalable web3 applications to host the next generation of the decentralized internet.
The bridge supports standard Dogecoin wallets and exchange deposits.
Quotes
“We have been working hard to find ways to better serve the Doge community, and now we get the chance to offer them even greater utility for their Dogecoin,” Carter Feldman, CEO of Psy Protocol, said. “This demonstrates the promise of combining best-in-class security with user demand and an established developer base.”
“We’re thrilled to announce the DOGE bridge to Solana, a big step in welcoming one of crypto’s most iconic communities to the Solana ecosystem,” said Lily Liu, President of the Solana Foundation. “DOGE, Bitcoin’s beloved pet, embodies the fun, irreverent spirit that drives on-chain culture. By bridging DOGE into Solana’s network, we’re inviting the Dogecoin community—and all OG crypto enthusiasts—to join us in marrying on-chain culture and decentralized finance.”
“Trustless verification has always been the holy grail of interoperability, but achieving it at scale has remained elusive,” said Robinson Burkey, co-founder of Wormhole. “Seeing Psy and Wormhole come together to build this around an asset like DOGE captures the true cyberpunk spirit of crypto. We’re excited to help bring a $36B asset to Solana—soon to be powered by Wormhole.”
How the Bridge Works
The bridge captures and verifies each Dogecoin block header on Solana. Block headers contain essential blockchain data, including the previous block hash, timestamp, difficulty target, the Merkle root of all transactions in the block, and the Proof of Work consensus algorithm. By verifying these headers directly on Solana, the system cryptographically confirms the validity of Dogecoin transactions without intermediaries.
When users send DOGE to the bridge, the system verifies the deposit on the Dogecoin blockchain and mints an equivalent amount of QDOGE tokens on Solana. To convert back, QDOGE tokens are burned on Solana, with withdrawal messages securely transmitted through Wormhole’s cross-chain messaging protocol, triggering the release of the original DOGE to the user’s Dogecoin address.
To enable this bridge, Psy has created a suite of infrastructure for developers:
- txindex: a fully-featured indexer for Dogecoin with effortless handling of forking behavior
- electrs-doge: the first open-source block explorer for Dogecoin
- doge-sdk: the first JavaScript SDK for Dogecoin
- forkr: an easy-to-use tool for simulating forks/re-orgs on Bitcoin and Dogecoin.
About Psy Protocol
Psy is the leading innovator in next-generation proof-of-work technology, on a mission to restore the security and decentralization principles of blockchain while enabling modern scalability. Psy is bridging the utility gap between Proof of Work and Proof of Stake chains, empowering developers to build hyper-scalable web3 applications, to provide a credible alternative to a centralized internet controlled by a handful of tech monopolies.

mETH becomes the first liquid staking token to be held on the balance sheet of a publicly listed company.
Mantle, the largest sustainable hub for on-chain finance with over $3 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL), today announced a strategic partnership with Republic Technologies, the Ethereum (“ETH”) treasury of publicly listed Canadian company Beyond Medical Technologies Inc. (CSE: DOCT) (IBKR: DOCT) (FSE: 7FM). This partnership marks a major milestone in institutional cryptocurrency adoption, positioning Mantle’s mETH as the first liquid staking token to be held on the balance sheet of a publicly listed company.
Through the partnership, Republic Technologies plans to delegate a significant portion of its ETH holdings to Mantle’s mETH Protocol and will hold mETH as a yield-bearing, liquid staking token on its balance sheet. The collaboration underscores a structural shift in institutional digital asset strategy and growing investor conviction in Ethereum-native yield infrastructure, reflecting Republic Technologies’ deepening alignment with the Mantle ecosystem.
Republic Technologies: The First Publicly Listed Ethereum Treasury
Republic Technologies is establishing a new institutional paradigm by building a treasury strategy around Ethereum, seen as the foundational layer for smart contracts, tokenization, and decentralized financial settlement. In contrast to Bitcoin-focused strategies employed by firms like Strategy and Metaplanet, whose reserves are largely Bitcoin-based, Republic Technologies’ approach is anchored in Ethereum’s role as the infrastructure layer powering both blockchain innovation and real-world enterprise integration.
By accumulating ETH as a core balance sheet asset, Republic Technologies advances the growth of its underlying healthcare technology businesses while offering institutional-grade exposure to digital assets for all shareholders. This strategy attracts growing interest from traditional markets and accelerates institutional participation in the emerging technology sector.
“We hold strong conviction that Ethereum is the institutional chain, with ETH serving as the digital fuel powering global financial systems,” said Daniel Liu, CEO of Republic Technologies. “Our initial entry through Mantle’s Scout Program helped us gain early exposure to the broader Mantle ecosystem, where our alignment with mETH Protocol came as a natural next step. More than 50 established incumbents—including BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, PayPal, and Visa—have already built services on Ethereum. Wall Street has made its decision. Our role now is to extend the benefits of this macro tailwind to a broader base of institutional and retail participants worldwide.”
Its leadership team brings decades of experience from top-tier financial institutions, including Apollo Global Management, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Canaccord Genuity. Republic Technologies operates under the publicly listed company Beyond Medical Technologies Inc., a technology firm integrating blockchain infrastructure to drive operational efficiency and improve patient outcomes across the medical ecosystem. In March 2025, Republic Technologies entered into a licensing agreement and launched its medical attestation platform, leveraging Ethereum-based distributed systems to power healthcare data integrity and regulatory compliance. The Ethereum treasury was established to support and scale this vision, marking a first-of-its-kind integration.
Institutional Alignment with Mantle’s Yield Infrastructure
Mantle’s mETH Protocol has quickly emerged as one of the leading platforms in Ethereum liquid staking and restaking. Within just 66 days of launch, it surpassed $1 billion in TVL —the fastest growth in its category—and has since peaked at over $2.19 billion. Designed with institutional-grade capital efficiency and composability in mind, mETH enables institutions to access Ethereum-native yield through a fully composable and capital-efficient framework.
To date, over 170,000 mETH (approximately $455 million) has been restaked into EigenDA, securing Mantle’s modular data availability layer. Validator operations are distributed across leading infrastructure providers, including Stakefish, P2P.org, Blockdaemon, A41, and Veda, ensuring high availability and robust institutional reliability.
“Republic Technologies’ participation highlights mETH Protocol’s ability to support institutional strategies built natively on Ethereum,” said Jonathan Low, Growth Lead at mETH Protocol. “As demand accelerates for ETH-native yield and utility, we remain focused on building resilient infrastructure that long-term allocators can trust.”
Looking Ahead: MI4 and Mantle Banking
The partnership precedes mETH’s inclusion in MI4, a tokenized, yield-focused index fund developed in collaboration with Securitize—the tokenization firm behind BlackRock’s BUIDL and Apollo’s ACRED. Backed by up to $400 million anchor investment from the Mantle Treasury, MI4 targets $1 billion in AUM and will offer regulated exposure to BTC, ETH, SOL, stablecoins, and select staking assets, with mETH playing a central role in its ETH allocation strategy.
In parallel, Mantle is preparing to extend mETH’s utility across traditional finance through Mantle Banking, an initiative that will integrate mETH into fiat rails, credit products, and conventional payment systems. This integration will allow users to spend, borrow, and invest with mETH across traditional payment rails, unlocking real-world utility for digital assets.
About Mantle Ecosystem
A pioneering on-chain ecosystem dedicated to revolutionizing the future of finance and blockchain scalability, seamlessly bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Through innovative products like Mantle Network, mETH Protocol, Function (FBTC), and Mantle Index Four (MI4), Mantle’s ecosystem empowers users and institutions with a unified financial services platform, redefining how the world spends, saves, and invests in the Web 3.0 era.

Supra, the first Layer-1 blockchain built for Automatic DeFi (AutoFi) via vertical integration, today announced the debut of its latest innovation: Threshold AI Oracles, a breakthrough protocol that embeds rich data from on-demand AI queries natively on-chain for the first time. Their novel protocol brings intelligence to on-chain applications.
This marks a new era of smart contracts with integrated intelligence, powered by real-time AI reasoning along with cryptographic proof, transforming how decentralized applications built on Supra will be able to interact with the real world.
Oracles are the lifeblood of decentralized applications, but until now they’ve been limited to price feeds and raw data pipes. Supra’s Threshold AI Oracles introduce multi-agent AI committees that can reason, deliberate, and deliver cryptographically verifiable insights to smart contracts on-chain. This is a groundbreaking shift in the kind of data and information that dApps can access, bringing the fast-evolving world of AI-based queries to dApps securely, verifiably, and in a trustless manner.
“Bringing intelligence on-chain is the natural next step for both AI and blockchain,” said Joshua Tobkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Supra. “Threshold AI Oracles will bring active reasoning and all kinds of rich information to dApps on Supra, way beyond just price feed data, while ensuring that every piece of data driving their smart contracts has been validated for security.”
This evolution in AI and blockchain oracles opens up a world of new possibilities for dApps on Supra, unlocked by three novel capabilities:
- Context-Aware Reasoning: Unlike legacy oracles that stream raw inputs, Threshold AI Oracles deliberate over questions like “Did this regulatory change really occur?” or “Should this liquidation execute given the current market sentiment?” The threshold AI oracle protocol can query and return a consensus-based, verifiable response to such complex questions on-chain.
- Verifiable AI Logic: Each AI query response comes with a compact, threshold BLS signature, providing cryptographic proof that a quorum of AI agents reached the decision, verifiable in milliseconds, and trustless at scale.
- Just-in-Time Execution: These AI agents operate on-demand, only activating when a smart contract explicitly queries them or when a condition is met. This prevents gas bloating or wasted computation, resulting in lean and intelligent responsiveness.
New Class of Intelligent On-Chain Applications
From DeFi and DAOs to prediction markets and real-world event triggers, Supra’s Threshold AI Oracles open doors for a richer category of intelligent dApps that can now get datasets of complex information on demand natively, with no centralized off-chain intermediaries or unverifiable black-box AI outputs.
“Until now, developers had to bolt AI onto crypto applications with off-chain hacks and centralized APIs to tap into this kind of intelligence,” said Jon Jones, CBO and Co-Founder of Supra. “But with Threshold AI Oracles being built into the Supra network, we can bring a new class of intelligence to on-chain applications natively with logic that is on-chain, verifiable, and secure.”
This new oracle layer is planned to roll out in three progressive phases in upcoming network upgrades on Supra Layer-1:
- Phase 1, Numerical Judgments: Yes/no verdicts, sentiment numerical scores, and binary validations.
- Phase 2, Structured Commands: JSON-based automation instructions for DeFi logic and DAO actions.
- Phase 3, Code-Generating Oracles: Supra’s long-term roadmap includes full generation of smart contract logic, enabling dApps that adapt, evolve, and govern themselves adaptively.
As the crypto industry matures and on-chain governance becomes increasingly autonomous, the need for intelligent, verifiable decision-making is now absolutely crucial. Supra’s Threshold AI Oracles address this importance, fusing LLM-powered reasoning with threshold cryptography, bringing intelligence on-chain without compromising decentralization or security.
“AI-enabled Oracles are the missing link between data and decision,” added Tobkin. “Supra is proud to bring this to Web3 in a way that is scalable, verifiable, and deeply integrated into our Layer-1.”
This protocol adds to Supra’s existing vertically integrated stack of native oracle price feeds, system-level automation and bridgeless cross-chain messaging — all of which are built into the Supra Layer 1 blockchain network.
Supra’s distinguished Research Team is proud to have published an elaborate whitepaper on this pioneering technology, which was made available this week for free download and review. Supra invites developers to review and test the Threshold AI Oracle module (coming soon to public testnet) with support materials available through its Developer Hub. With Supra’s Threshold AI Oracles, the next generation of dApps can now reason, react, and evolve on-chain and in realtime.
About Supra
Supra is the first chain built for Automatic DeFi (AutoFi), a novel self-operating automated financial system that also serves as the perfect framework for crypto AI Agents, built upon its vertically integrated Layer-1 blockchain with built-in high-speed smart contracts, native price oracles, system-level automation and bridgeless cross-chain messaging.
Supra’s vertical stack unlocks all-new AutoFi primitives that can generate fair recurring protocol revenue and redistribute it across the ecosystem, reducing reliance on inflationary block rewards entirely over time. This stack equips on-chain AI Agents with all the tools they need to run a wide variety of powerful DeFi workflows for users automatically, autonomously, and securely.

LONDON, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, OnRe, the leading regulated on-chain reinsurance company, launches its ONe token. ONe is an accumulating token for LPs, currently offering projected returns of up to 40.35% consisting of reinsurance performance, collateral yield, and token incentives. OnRe unlocks previously inaccessible yield from the $750 billion global reinsurance market, and combines it with the digital asset market’s unique return attributes, resulting in a stable and scalable product.
Through its partnership with Ethena, OnRe allows users to deposit sUSDe into a reinsurance pool on Solana. Deposited sUSDe flows into a balanced reinsurance portfolio, carefully underwritten by OnRe’s underwriting and actuarial experts, then allocated across diversified insurance lines to generate uncorrelated yields. This enables on-chain capital markets to utilize this real-world asset class as liquid collateral across the ecosystem.
“OnRe provides the perfect real-world use case for sUSDe, allowing over $6bn in stable capital to earn additional, meaningful yield by deploying into one of the world’s most established financial systems. This partnership sets the stage for a new era of capital efficiency, transforming deposits into productive, yield-generating assets while opening a market that has long been out of reach for most investors.” — Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs.
OnRe’s blockchain-native structured product unlocks capabilities unreplicable in traditional finance, including upside participation through on-chain funding rates and integrations with other DeFi protocols to enhance capital efficiency.
In bearish markets, OnRe delivers consistent, stable yield through reinsurance exposure, independent of crypto and equity downturns. In bullish conditions, elevated on-chain funding rates and token incentives from sUSDe and the $ONRE protocol token offer meaningful upside potential.
ONe is directly tied to a regulated, revenue-generating business, setting it apart from DeFi tokens that rely on emissions or abstract governance mandates. Its value is linked to TVL, backed by real-world underwriting, and aligned with long-term platform growth. The project’s revenue dynamics are appealing, with the ability to generate the same income from $10M in TVL as a $500M money market fund.
Rising on-chain capital flows, driven by stablecoin adoption and investor demand for lower-volatility yield, make for ideal launch timing. With support from RockawayX, a seed investor in Solana and backer of 15+ of the ecosystem’s leading projects, and the Solana Foundation, OnRe’s integration roadmap will offer pool investors the potential for additional returns through DeFi composability, such as the ability to use the pool deposit receipt as borrow collateral on lending platforms.
“We pursue DeFi products that offer a substantially superior risk and return profile or user experience to traditional alternatives, and OnRe definitely fits the bill, with predictable returns in bearish environments, and meaningful upside in bullish times. Active participants will leverage OnRe’s integrations across Solana DeFi, with projects like Kamino, Exponent, and Fragmetric, making reinsurance a key on-chain portfolio building block. Better yet, the reinsurance industry is sorely in need of a digital lift, and we see OnRe accelerating a leapfrog step forward.” — Samantha Bohbot, Partner & Chief Growth Officer of RockawayX.
“Innovation doesn’t happen overnight or in isolation. The launch of OnRe is the result of powerful partnerships and scalable technology, creating something genuinely new in digital assets and insurance. It’s a model that’s rigorously tested, securely designed, and fully compliant. I’m excited to see ONe scale as a reliable collateral asset year-round, giving digital asset markets access to the strong, stable returns of insurance — one of the world’s largest and most profitable industries.” — Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO of OnRe.
Backed by deep expertise and full regulatory approval, OnRe sets a new benchmark for allocators seeking reliable, cycle-resilient returns. Visit onre.finance for early investor incentives and and sign up to secure first access to upcoming rewards.
About OnRe
OnRe bridges the reliability of the $750bn global reinsurance market with the transformative power of blockchain. Licensed to deploy digital assets as insurance collateral, OnRe provides a new class of investors with direct access to consistent real-world yield through structured products designed to generate returns in both bull and bear markets — creating a return profile not replicable in traditional finance. With a focus on transparency, scalability, and capital efficiency, OnRe is transforming how capital is deployed, bringing opportunity to a system that has historically been out of reach.

Beer 2.0 aims to be more than a nostalgic nod to its predecessor. It’s a fresh pour of meme culture, community power, and real utility — served cold on Solana. Building on the viral rise of Beercoin (which hit an impressive 35x), this second iteration is aiming to turn that moment into something lasting.
In less than 48 hours since the official announcement, over 10,000 people have registered their interest in the Beer 2.0 presale via the official website. This strong response highlights a level of anticipation that surpasses typical meme coin hype, suggesting notable traction as the presale approaches.
Beer 2.0’s New Direction
The original Beercoin was a case study in how simplicity and community can drive exponential growth. But Beer 2.0 isn’t content with just good vibes and gains. It’s aiming to evolve the meme coin model with integrations into NFTs, gaming, and future DApps, bringing tangible use cases to the table — while keeping the humor on tap.
By building on Solana, Beer 2.0 takes advantage of lightning-fast transactions and low fees, making it ideal for high-frequency trading, gaming interactions, and viral moments on-chain.

The project embraces transparency in both vision and tokenomics structure. The total supply is capped at 888.8 billion tokens, with 20% allocated to the public via a presale running for 48 hours starting May 21, 2025, at 7:00 PM CEST.
Key allocations:
- 35% to the main creator
- 30% to liquidity
- 20% to public presale
- 10% to marketing
- 4% for advisors and supporters
- 6% split between two affiliate groups
This token distribution underscores the team’s focus on both sustainability and community reward, with enough liquidity and incentives to fuel long-term growth.
Early Access Perks: Presale Bonuses for the Fast and the Thirsty
The first 30 minutes of the presale come with tiered bonuses to reward early supporters — though exact percentages are time-sensitive. Participation is on a first-come, first-served basis, so timing and preparation matter.
Interested participants need to:
- Set up a Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom)
- Buy SOL via major exchanges like Binance or KuCoin
- Check the website and official social media channels at presale launch for the verified Presale address
- Send SOL to the address within the 48-hour window
- Receive BEER 2.0 tokens post-sale — trackable via Solscan
Roadmap to Cultural Dominance
Beer 2.0 is pouring a long-term vision into the glass, backed by a phased rollout designed to blend culture, real-world interaction, and Web3 expansion.
The roadmap unfolds across four phases, each one bringing the project closer to global visibility and community empowerment:
Phase 1: Setting the Table
- Launch marks the beginning of the journey, igniting traction and onboarding early believers.
- Listings on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko play a key role — not just for visibility, but for trust. These platforms validate legitimacy and help Beer 2.0 appear on worldwide radars.
- Influencer marketing fuels virality, tapping into crypto-native creators to spread the word and onboard new holders through humor, relatability, and reach.
Phase 2: Strengthening Infrastructure
- CEX listings (Centralized Exchanges) come into play, critical for scaling access. While DEXes serve early adopters, CEXes provide the liquidity and on-ramp ease needed for newcomers.
- Online events for holders create a sense of belonging and fun while reinforcing the Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) ethos.
- Strategic Web3 partnerships allow Beer 2.0 to extend its reach — integrations, collabs, and cross-community activations with other protocols or NFT projects.
Phase 3: Real-World Use Cases Meet Culture
- Exclusive prizes for holders keep the traction going and reward long-term commitment.
- A merch drop helps transform Beer 2.0 from a coin into a cultural symbol, with community members repping the brand IRL.
- Real-world $BEER payments in bars are being explored. Because what better utility for a beer-themed token than buying an actual pint?
Phase 4: Global Takeover (With a Side of Chaos)
- More listings and expanded adoption campaigns help Beer 2.0 move beyond niche communities into the broader crypto space.
- Meme partnerships — collaborations with creators and communities that shape crypto culture — to fuel another wave of social virality.
- BEERCOIN Festival, an IRL gathering designed to celebrate the movement and blur the lines between crypto and culture.
Beyond Tokens: Culture, Camaraderie, and a Brewmobile
Beer 2.0 is about more than charts — it’s about culture. The project promotes a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), building camaraderie between holders with weekly giveaways and community competitions.
The project is also offering a $30,000 Brewmobile grand prize for lucky supporters, further strengthening the project’s meme-to-matter appeal.
A Toast to Realism: Risks and Reminders
While the presale interest is clear, the project acknowledges the landscape:
- Volatility: Post-launch prices can swing drastically.
- Liquidity: DEX listings (Raydium, Jupiter) come first; CEX listings (Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io, etc.) are in the pipeline.
- Regulation: Like all crypto projects, Beer 2.0 operates in a shifting legal environment.
- Execution Risk: Ambitions are high — but execution will determine whether Beer 2.0 becomes more than a meme memory.
As always, users are invited to DYOR and only invest what they can afford to lose.
Final Sip: How Beer 2.0 Stands Out
Beer 2.0 signals a new phase in meme coin evolution — one where community strength meets actual on-chain interaction. With its presale kicking off May 21, and plans for integrations into NFTs, games, and beyond, it’s shaping up to be more than a moment.
Whether they’re here for the culture or the tech, Beer 2.0 is ready to pour investors a glass of what’s next.

Wall Street Ponke Gains $300K in Hours as Project attracts early investors.
The world of meme coins is always moving fast, and Wall Street Ponke is beginning to emerge as a notable early contender. In a space filled with flash and short-term noise, this one is trying to do things differently. It crossed the three hundred thousand dollar mark in presale within just a few hours of launch, pulling in early investors and observers across the board.
Unlike the usual meme coin trend, Wall Street Ponke is focused on function, not just buzz. Its goal is clear: to change how traders think about meme coins by offering real tools that focus on learning and safety. While many projects rely only on trend cycles, Wall Street Ponke is putting together a system that people can actually use and trust.
A major part of that system is a tool powered by artificial intelligence that watches over the market as it moves. Every token launched is checked against key warning signs. Users get alerts about tokens that may have fake liquidity, strange contract functions, or quick developer exits. For those who have been caught in bad trades before, this is something new and much needed.

Wall Street Ponke Builds Out Trader Learning Space for All Levels
Wall Street Ponke is not only working on protection. It’s also helping its users improve. A full learning area has been added to the platform, giving people access to information on decentralized finance, staking, blockchain basics, and token strategy. Whether someone is just starting out or already has trading experience, the platform breaks things down into useful and simple lessons tied to the current market.
Wall Street Ponke Utilities Deliver Real Value for Traders
Alongside education, the project delivers a complete toolkit tailored for real trading needs. A smart contract scanner powered by artificial intelligence checks every new token for signs of risk, flagging red flags like hidden code or sudden liquidity shifts. The staking system allows users to potentially earn high passive rewards, which makes holding more appealing. There’s also a public trading feed where users can follow active strategies and updates from the community. The built-in leaderboard highlights top-performing wallets, encouraging healthy competition while surfacing valuable market insight. Each of these tools plays a direct role in improving decision-making and giving traders a clearer path through a space often clouded by noise.
Wall Street Ponke Shows Signs of Sustainable Growth and Long-Term Design
This project is more than a coin launch. It’s forming the base for a full-featured network. The money raised during its first hours shows there’s a real interest in something with substance. People are not only looking for coins that can go up, but for systems that are clear, complete, and able to last. Wall Street Ponke seems to be taking that approach seriously with steady and clear building blocks.
Another thing to note is the potentially high return rate for those who stake early. Some are seeing over a thousand percent annually, which makes it more than just a hold-and-wait play. This setup makes fast selling less likely and rewards those who stay with the project longer. That kind of system creates a stronger tie between the holders and the project itself, making growth a shared goal.
Taking Part in the Wall Street Ponke Launch
Buying in during the presale phase is straightforward. Interested participants can head to wallstreetponke.com, connect their wallets, and complete transactions using ETH, USDT, BNB, or a credit card. The site is set up for speed and works well even for first-time buyers. As the project is still in its early stages, this period may present an opportunity to engage before broader market attention develops.
Wall Street Ponke is positioning itself as more than just another coin launch. It’s offering a new take on what meme coin projects can look like — not just a fun symbol or trend, but a useful and rewarding place for people who want more than hype. The tools are already live, with growing interest from early participants, to what could potentially be a key player in the next phase of crypto market activity
