Cryptocurrency Market Shifts Focus towards Transparency and Scalability

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a significant shift in focus, with investors prioritizing transparency, roadmap clarity, and measurable adoption signals over hype cycles.

APEMARS Stage 9 has emerged as a notable example of this trend, having sold 12 billion tokens and raised $255,000 at a price of $0.00007841. The project's structured presale model creates a visible pricing gap towards its intended listing price of $0.0055, making it an attractive option for investors seeking transparency.

NEAR Protocol is also upgrading its infrastructure to improve scalability and usability, having integrated with Shield to streamline cross-chain swaps. Fantom is targeting performance leadership through its Sonic mainnet upgrade, which aims to increase throughput to 2,000 transactions per second with 1.1-second finality.
