History doesn't repeat itself, but human greed always rhymes
1️⃣ 1979-1980: The most turbulent bull market for precious metals, crazy gold surged from $200 to $850, silver skyrocketed from $6 to $50. The macro script was the oil crisis + severe inflation.
Result? Topped out for two months, gold halved, silver dropped by 2/3, followed by a freezing period lasting 20 years.
2️⃣ 2010-2011: After the subprime crisis, liquidity-driven gold touched 1921, silver once again challenged the 50 mark. The script changed to a liquidity party post-subprime crisis.
Outcome? Gold retraced 45%, silver plummeted 70%, and once again, several years of sideways decline.
3️⃣ 2024-2026: Is this time different? The current story sounds better: global central banks are buying up, de-dollarization, silver industrial demand... Central bank support has become the last faith of this bull market.
Can this surge of precious metals with a 'new script' escape historical laws?
The core contradiction of precious metal investment: the alluring trend versus the cruel mean reversion. The current market indeed stands at a crossroads similar to history, yet filled with new variables. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to engage in a deeper analysis together👀 📜 Historical Mirror: The inevitable cyclical law From 1979 to 1980 and from 2010 to 2011, two classic cycles, both essentially driven by 'monetary credit anxiety' price bubbles, burst after liquidity receded or crises eased. The core lessons are as follows: 1. Amplitude Symmetry: The premium formed by emotions and leverage during an uptrend is as large as the pullback caused by profit-taking and panic during a downtrend.
In the past, we pursued stars purely for the "power of love"; money was spent just to hear some noise. But MEET48 is completely reversing this logic. In the world of AI + Crypto, fans are not just consumers but also co-builders and beneficiaries of the ecosystem.
Just yesterday, a landmark operation occurred on-chain: 8.7 million pieces of $IDOL were permanently destroyed.
Where did this money come from? It's 30% of the revenue from the second Best7 voting. This is real "hard cash" deflation, not a digital game where the project side shifts numbers from one hand to the other. Behind every destroyed token is real fan purchasing power and a strong voting intention. This demand-driven deflation model is more substantial than any empty promises.
In the social track of BSC, MEET48's active address count (UAW) has reached 356,000, taking the top spot across the chain. Transaction volume (TXN) has surpassed 619,000. Such a level of real activity is a rare species in today's robot-dominated Crypto social scene.
Why is now a good time to ambush $IDOL ? Because the 2026 Roadmap is the real "trump card":
Crypto version of Audition Dance (Auditions GO): The original team of "Audition Dance" personally handles this. It's not just nostalgia; it's a traffic nuclear bomb. In the future, raising virtual idols can be profitable; this wave of GameFi expectations is directly through the roof.
The official announcement stated that $IDOL can be exchanged for the native token $POC of the public chain. This means that the $IDOL you hold now is essentially the "early bird ticket" for this future AI content public chain.
AI Productivity (ParoAI): Allowing fans to use AI to produce high-quality content, lowering the threshold for content creation, and increasing the value of asset confirmation.
Only when the tide goes out do we know who is swimming naked, and MEET48 is building a moat with high-frequency interactions and continuous destruction. AI + idols + games + public chain, with this combination, the sky's the limit, those who understand, understand.
Since we will eventually embrace the new era of AI entertainment, why not choose a leader that has both traffic and deflation? #IDOL
The Era of Stablecoins: PLASMA Partnering to Reshape Global Financial Flow
Like a dedicated stablecoin "highway," it optimizes the circulation of Tether (USDT), making transfers lightning fast and fees negligible. This inevitably leads its collaborations to focus on high-frequency scenarios such as payments, lending, yield generation, and RWA (real-world assets). Unlike Ethereum’s "all-in-one" chain, Plasma resembles a specialized "stablecoin expert," expanding its ecosystem from DeFi to real-world payments and energy sectors through partnerships. The result? Its native token $XPL rapidly soared from a market cap of $240 million at mainnet launch to now several billion dollars, thanks to the liquidity and trust injected by these collaborations.
From family-level deep binding, to cross-domain ecological integration, and then to the fresh 'big bomb' of 2025.
These stories are not only about technology integration but also textbook cases of 'warming together' in the crypto world. 1. 'Family Heritage': The strong backing of the ConsenSys ecosystem. The starting point destined it to not be a lone wolf. As a beloved child of ConsenSys, it naturally enjoys the full range of resources of a 'family business', allowing it to crush many independent L2s in the initial stages. Seamless empowerment from MetaMask: Linea is the default L2 recommendation of MetaMask Portfolio, with zero friction across bridging, swapping, and card payments. In October 2025, the MetaMask Card will directly integrate Linea, supporting earning yields while spending aUSDC (Aave deposit certificate). Even cooler, the Coinmunity Cashback program in collaboration with DapDapMeUp offers up to 10% cashback in ecological tokens (such as $FOXY, $REX, $LYNX, $ZERO) every week, covering projects like FoxyLinea, EtherexFi, LynexFi, and more. Users can inject liquidity into the Linea ecosystem indirectly by spending with the card—this is not collaboration; it's a 'closed-loop win-win'.
Linea's 'Consortium Universe' Strategy for Ethereum L2
From the launch of the mainnet in 2023 to the end of 2025, @Linea.eth has evolved from a pure zkEVM L2 into a 'consortium-type' network with over 420 partners, deeply integrated with ConsenSys family resources, while also opening its arms to the entire industry. Its cooperation logic can be summarized in one sentence: no stealing the spotlight, just serving as a foundation, allowing everyone to earn money, have fun, and build steadily on #Linea . 1. Core 'family'-level deep integration: Produced by ConsenSys, it is a hardcore endorsement. Linea is essentially ConsenSys's own child, naturally inheriting the priority of top tools like MetaMask and Infura.
Morpho: From Optimizer to the 'King of Alliances' in DeFi Lending Infrastructure
In the DeFi lending space, Aave and Compound have long held the top positions, but as of 2025, a project called
has quietly risen, becoming the player that is most adept at 'huddling together for warmth.' It is not content with going solo but instead brings the entire ecosystem together to play. From established lending protocols, risk management experts, to centralized exchanges, institutional players, RWA, and even AI agents, it has almost turned the 'circle of friends' in DeFi into a super alliance. TVL is approaching $15 billion, ranking it among the top three lending protocols; it relies not on revolutionary disruption but on the 'composability + open infrastructure' trump card.
Morpho 101: From Aave/Compound's 'small optimizer' to the new overlord of DeFi lending empire
In the DeFi lending track, Morpho (@morpholabs) is definitely the most dazzling 'dark horse comeback' story of 2024-2025. Initially, it was just a rate optimizer running on Aave and Compound, helping users achieve higher returns than the native pools. But since the launch of Morpho Blue in 2024, an immutable, modular, permissionless lending primitive, Morpho has completely transformed from a 'parasite' to an 'infrastructure overlord'. Now, Morpho is no longer just a protocol but the entire DeFi's 'Universal Lending Network'. It has fully open-sourced and made the core lending engine (Morpho Blue) immutable, with risk management and product layers (Vaults) completely open to third-party curators for building. This is equivalent to bringing DeFi lending from the era of 'one-size-fits-all large pools' into the 'modular blooming' era. Due to this extreme openness and efficiency, Morpho has attracted a vast number of top players to collaborate. By November 2025, Morpho's TVL has steadily surpassed 10 billion USD (multi-chain cumulative), with active loan sizes even briefly exceeding Aave, becoming number one globally. Below is its 'love story' with major crypto projects/institutions, which is simply a DeFi version of 'Game of Thrones': 1. Collaboration with Coinbase: The most heavyweight 'DeFi Mullet' partnership (institutional backend + retail frontend)
Web Weaver Linea, how a Layer2 becomes the 'home' of Ethereum through deep cooperation
Why is @Linea.eth called the "Web Weaver"? Because it never fights alone, but instead plays "cooperation" to perfection: from oracles to cross-chain, from identity verification to institutional compliance, from Meme communities to traditional financial giants, almost every step forward stands on the shoulders of partners. In the years 2024-2025, the TVL of $LINEA surged from hundreds of millions to over ten billion dollars, with millions of users and over 500 dApps, and all of this is the chemical reaction brought about by cooperation. 1. Infrastructure-level "staunch allies": Chainlink is the "soul mate" of Linea, and the collaboration between Linea and Chainlink is simply a textbook-level deep binding:
Plasma × Binance: The Beginning of Ecological Cascading
The most exciting news is the deep strategic cooperation between @Plasma and Binance. It's not the shallow excitement of 'Binance has listed a new coin, everyone rush to grab it,' but a move that could truly change the DeFi landscape. I have been observing this project for almost a year, from Plasma quietly building its ecosystem on Berachain and BNB Chain, to suddenly being brought into the core vision by Binance. The signals in between are too strong, strong enough that I must write something down. Let's start with the conclusion: this is not an ordinary Launchpool; this is Binance's proactive action to 'catch up' on DeFi infrastructure during the mid-term of the 2025 bull market. What Plasma is doing happens to be the piece of the puzzle that Binance's ecosystem currently lacks the most—high capital efficiency parallel lending + real-world asset channels.
How do stablecoins illuminate the future of finance in Africa?
Speaking of the collaboration between @Plasma and @yellowcard_app, I can’t help but want to talk more about it! These two entities, one focused on stablecoin infrastructure and the other being Africa's largest licensed stablecoin payment coordinator and infrastructure provider, are simply a match made in heaven. Their partnership is not just a technical integration, but more like injecting fresh blood into the global financial system, especially for regions suffering from currency volatility. $xpl
What are the highlights of this collaboration? First, it’s the 'zero-fee transfer'. Plasma's Paymaster system allows USD₮ transfers to be free and instant, which is simply unbelievable in the traditional banking system. Imagine in Nigeria or Kenya, users can directly exchange stablecoins for local currency using their mobile wallets, or vice versa, without worrying about fees eating into their profits. This is a boon for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those engaged in cross-border trade—previously, remittances could take days and incur high fees, but now it’s done in seconds! Moreover, Yellow Card's infrastructure covers cash agent points, which means even in remote areas, people without bank accounts can participate. Stablecoins are no longer a plaything for urban elites, but a tool accessible to everyone.
Linea and Lamina1 Join Hands to Ignite the Future Sparks of the Blockchain Creator Economy
Let me briefly introduce the two main characters.
It is a zkEVM Layer 2 solution under ConsenSys, focused on enhancing the scalability and efficiency of Ethereum. With zero-knowledge proof technology at its core, it provides a low-cost, high-throughput trading environment, perfectly suited for applications like DeFi, NFTs, and games. Since its official launch at the beginning of 2025, Linea has quickly become a dark horse in the Ethereum ecosystem due to its seamless integration with MetaMask and developer-friendly nature. Its goal is simple: to make Ethereum more user-friendly and efficient, becoming the preferred chain for ETH capital. x.com Meanwhile, @Lamina1official is more like a sci-fi dream factory, co-founded by (Snow Crash) author Neal Stephenson and crypto pioneer Peter Vessenes. It is a blockchain platform focused on digital content and co-creation, aimed at providing creators with tools to take control of their IP (intellectual property) and build a sustainable community economy in the metaverse. Lamina1 is not just a chain; it is more like a protocol that encourages storytellers, artists, and developers to express themselves freely on the blockchain.
The Perfect Integration of DeFi Lending and Autonomous Vaults
Recently, kpk announced the expansion of their curated vaults to
the platform, launching 'Agent-Powered Vaults' @kpk_io. This means that kpk is opening the autonomous infrastructure originally intended for DAO treasury management to a broader market, allowing users to access these vaults through Morpho's lending network. These vaults leverage Morpho's $10 billion+ network effects, integrating with global fintech and banking to provide automated management yield strategies. Simply put, kpk's agents automatically optimize vault performance based on preset policies, such as real-time rebalancing of liquidity and adjusting risk parameters, while Morpho provides the underlying lending infrastructure, ensuring zero idle capital and efficient matching.

Igniting the "SomETHing" revolution in the Ethereum ecosystem
$Line Mention
I couldn't help but get excited! As a powerful force in the Ethereum ecosystem, LineaBuild has been committed to creating a 100% Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 solution, emphasizing "the best ETH capital chain." In recent months, their activities have been incredibly vibrant, launching numerous innovative mechanisms and continuously igniting the passion of developers and users through podcasts, community events, and partner collaborations. Today, I'll talk about their latest developments, from the Linea Exponent growth plan to the official launch of the burning mechanism, and various online and offline interactions.
$morpho In the rapidly evolving world of DeFi (decentralized finance), data analysis and lending protocols are often the two pillars of the ecosystem. The Tie, as a leading digital asset information service provider, is known for its powerful data terminal and market insights, while
is an innovative protocol focused on optimizing lending efficiency, connecting global lenders and borrowers through its Morpho network to achieve higher yields and lower borrowing costs.
The Tie was established in the early stages of cryptocurrency, primarily providing real-time data, social sentiment analysis, and institutional-grade market intelligence. Its core product, The Tie Terminal, helps investors track price fluctuations of crypto assets, social media trends, and on-chain activities. Imagine, in a highly volatile market, The Tie acts like an 'intelligence center,' helping users avoid risks and seize opportunities. On the other hand, Morpho Labs focuses on an upgraded version of DeFi lending. It does not simply replicate the pool model of Aave or Compound but builds a 'universal lending network' that allows users to customize market parameters and achieve peer-to-peer matching, thereby maximizing capital utilization. To date, Morpho has processed over 12 billion dollars in deposits and has expanded across multiple chains, such as Ethereum, Base, and the recent Sei Network. These two projects may seem data-oriented and finance-oriented, respectively, but they have a natural complementarity at the intersection of DeFi.
$XPL Collaboration is often the key driving force behind innovation. Today, let's talk about Nexo, a well-known digital asset wealth platform, and
the collaboration between this project focused on stablecoin infrastructure. This is not just a simple technical integration; it is a strong partnership between two projects in the DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and stablecoin fields, bringing users a more efficient and practical asset management experience. As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I am particularly interested in this cross-platform collaboration because it directly enhances the returns and convenience for ordinary users.
Collaborative Ecosystem Builders in the DeFi Lending Revolution
The development of DeFi (decentralized finance) is in full swing, and
as an innovative project focused on optimizing lending protocols, is standing out through a series of strategic partnerships. Morpho Labs' core product Morpho Blue is a universal lending network that improves lending efficiency, reduces risks, and brings higher returns to users through a peer-to-peer matching mechanism. As an open-source protocol, Morpho Labs is not satisfied with isolated development but actively collaborates with other crypto projects to build an interconnected ecosystem.
First, we must mention the deep cooperation between Morpho Labs and Coinbase. This largest cryptocurrency platform in the U.S. partnered with Morpho Labs in early 2025 to make its second foray into the crypto lending market. Through Morpho's infrastructure, Coinbase launched loan products collateralized by Bitcoin, and within a short period, the active loan amount exceeded $130 million, with collateral values reaching $270 million. This collaboration allows users of traditional crypto exchanges to seamlessly access DeFi lending, significantly lowering the entry barrier. Imagine, if you hold BTC on Coinbase, you can directly lend stablecoins to earn returns, while Morpho's optimization algorithms ensure higher capital efficiency. This is not just a technological integration but a model of the fusion of DeFi and CeFi (centralized finance), helping Morpho Labs reach millions of new users.
The Collaborative Ecosystem of Linea Connecting the Future of Ethereum
As an Ethereum Layer 2 solution developed by ConsenSys, with its core based on zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, it aims to enhance the scalability and efficiency of Ethereum. Since its launch, Linea has not only achieved complete equivalence with Ethereum in technical terms but has also built a thriving ecosystem through a series of strategic partnerships. These collaborations span areas such as DeFi, infrastructure, AI agents, stablecoins, and more, helping Linea attract a large number of users and funds. Now, let's dive into the collaborative stories of Linea with other crypto projects and how these partnerships have propelled Linea to become the 'best chain for ETH capital.'
The Thai Crypto Market Welcomes the Stablecoin Revolution
As a Layer-1 blockchain focused on stablecoin infrastructure,
it is simply tailor-made for the future of digital payments. It not only addresses the pain points of traditional blockchains, such as high fees, slow speeds, and scalability issues, but also directly targets the trillion-dollar stablecoin market. Bitkub, as Thailand's leading crypto exchange, partnering with Plasma feels like a shot of adrenaline for the Thai crypto ecosystem.
On October 14, 2025, Bitkub Exchange and Bitkub Academy officially announced their collaboration with Plasma, aiming to expand Thailand's stablecoin infrastructure and scaling solutions. This is not just a simple token listing (although Bitkub did launch $XPL on October 2, allowing users to deposit and trade), but a comprehensive educational and ecological collaboration. In simple terms, Plasma enters the Thai market through Bitkub, providing educational support on stablecoins, helping Thais understand how to make payments with zero fees and instant transactions. Bitkub Academy will be responsible for promoting Plasma's Layer-1 technology, teaching everyone about the practical applications of stablecoins, such as DeFi participation and global payments. Plasma's efficiency, processing over 1000 transactions per second, with block confirmations in less than 1 second, perfectly addresses the pain points of Thai users on the blockchain, such as high gas fees and slow transfers.
