$C98
As of February 2026, Coin98 (C98) is undergoing a significant strategic pivot. Once known primarily as a multi-chain wallet, it is now attempting to rebrand itself as a "regulated financial gateway," specifically targeting the Southeast Asian market through high-level institutional partnerships.#c98
Market Performance & Context
Price Stagnation: C98 is currently trading in a tight range between $0.021 and $0.026. Like CHESS, it is significantly down from its historical highs ($6.42 in 2021), reflecting a shift in investor interest from older DeFi "super-apps" to newer AI and Layer 2 narratives.
Full Circulation: A key technical advantage in 2026 is that 100% of the 1 billion C98 supply is now in circulation. This removes the "inflationary overhang" of venture capital unlocks that plagued the token in previous years.
Micro-Cap Status: With a market cap hovering around $22M – $25M, C98 has transitioned into a "value play" for those betting on its ecosystem's survival rather than a top-tier market leader.
2026 Core Growth Drivers
1. The "G98" Initiative (Vietnam Strategy)
The most bullish catalyst for C98 this year is the G98 Joint Venture. Partnering with Tether, Coin98 is positioning itself as the primary infrastructure provider for Vietnam’s national digital transformation.
The Goal: To build compliant digital asset products for a country that consistently ranks in the top 5 for global crypto adoption.
Why it matters: If C98 becomes the "regulated bridge" for millions of Vietnamese users, it creates a moat that global competitors like MetaMask cannot easily replicate.
