Gate News Bot Message, January 28th, according to CoinMarketCap data, as of press time, MON (Monad) is currently priced at $0.02, up 14.36% in the past 24 hours, with a high of $0.02 and a low of $0.02. The 24-hour trading volume reached $154 million. The current market capitalization is approximately $233 million, an increase of $29.2 million from yesterday.
Monad is a next-generation, Ethereum-compatible public chain dedicated to becoming a high-performance EVM blockchain. The network offers 10,000 transactions per second throughput, sub-second finality, low fees, and scalable decentralized features. Monad is fully compatible with EVM at the bytecode level, with Solidity smart contracts, EVM addresses, infrastructure, tools, and libraries ready to use out of the box, allowing developers to avoid learning new tech stacks. The network uses a custom database and low system requirements, enabling validators to run nodes on consumer-grade hardware, achieving true decentralization from day one, with a global network of over 200 validators.
Important recent news about MON:
1️⃣ Category Labs Launches Token Buyback Program to Support Price
Category Labs announced plans to buy back up to $30 million worth of MON tokens on the open market in the first half of 2026, depending on market conditions. This institutional-level buyback commitment demonstrates the project’s confidence in the long-term value of the token, while reducing circulating supply to support the price, sending a positive signal to investors. The implementation of the buyback will depend on market conditions, reflecting the project’s flexible and cautious capital allocation strategy.
2️⃣ Opportunities in the Evolving Competition Among Public Chains
The Ethereum ecosystem faces ongoing fragmentation pressures from Layer 2 networks like Base and Arbitrum, as well as competing public chains such as Solana. As a high-performance public chain compatible with EVM and offering 10,000 TPS throughput, Monad is well-positioned to benefit from the trend of users and capital migrating to high-efficiency chains, thanks to its advantages in transaction speed, cost, and decentralization.
3️⃣ Positive Macro Liquidity Expectations
The Federal Reserve’s easing policy expectations are changing, with market pricing indicating that rate cuts may be delayed until July 2026. This delay, along with stable policy expectations, is conducive to rational valuation of risk assets. As an alternative asset class, crypto assets are expected to attract more institutional allocation demand under the backdrop of increased policy certainty, providing macro-level support for high-performance public chain tokens like MON.

Recently, altcoins represented by RAVE have sparked a fierce investment craze, but some old star projects like FF and INX have used this wave of hype to carry out “pump-and-dump” operations—rapidly driving up coin prices to lure retail investors to buy, and then dumping them heavily, causing the price to plunge rapidly. Such behavior not only exposes the project team’s funding difficulties, but also damages investors’ trust.

On April 13, Bitcoin rose from its early-session low of 70,741 to trade as high as $74,900 during the session, approaching the $75,000 level. The main drivers came from two directions: after Trump ordered the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, traders began to view Bitcoin as a geopolitical hedge asset; and a massive net short position that had been building as funding rates stayed persistently negative was met with liquidation, triggering a chain of liquidations totaling millions of dollars near the $70,000 support level.
