Koreans are coming to pick up the plate. To be serious, AEON just received TGE last week, and the pace is a bit scary. On July 27th, Binance Alpha, @ okx, @ Gate, @ KuCoin, and @ bitget were simultaneously launched, and Bitget even organized a Launchpool. Within a day, most mainstream platforms were fully operational. At that time, many people were still watching and felt that the project promotion was too quiet and the heat was average. Just one day later, the announcement from @ BithumbOfficial came out - AEON/KRW, Korean won trading pair. Anyone who has played cryptocurrency understands what the Bithumb Korean won market means. That is a completely independent fund pool, and the trading habits of Korean retail investors are different from ours. When emotions arise, the premium can be pulled out by an exaggerated amount. A new coin that reaches the Korean won market within a week of TGE indicates that the exchange resources behind it are really hard, not the kind of project where there is no follow-up after completing Alpha. Let's talk about what AEON itself does. It serves as the encrypted settlement layer for AI agents. Nowadays, AI can write code, conduct research, and help you negotiate and compare prices, but it cannot pay for it on its own. You ask it to book a flight ticket, buy an API quota, and buy data from another agent, but the final step still requires the human to pull out their credit card. What AEON has added is this link, allowing intelligent agents to directly complete payments and settlements between each other. Old problems such as transaction fees, programmability, and payment speed are all within its scope of solution. This track is currently very hot, but most of it is a pie in the sky. What sets AEON apart is that it has already landed - it connects with national payment networks in Argentina and Bolivia, covering over 50 million offline merchants worldwide. The combination of on chain narrative and off chain real merchant network is currently rare in the market. We raised $8 million in financing, led by YZi Labs. The founding team has a background in Binance and is mainly composed of Chinese members. So it's not surprising that it looks so smooth on it. Why is it recommended to pay attention to: Firstly, the chip structure is relatively clean. This is a ToB infrastructure project without large-scale community airdrops, and the early selling pressure is much smaller than those projects that rely on coin drops to generate revenue. The second reason is that the pace of the upper stage has not been completed yet. OKX、Gate、Bitget、 Binance Alpha and Bithumb have already been obtained, and the market's biggest concern now is whether Binance Dating will keep up. I really caught up, another wave. The third is that the narrative of AI+payment itself is big enough, and it is one of the few with real businesses running. Follow @ AEON_Community for the specific launch time of Bithumb, as the opening of the Korean won market is often the most promising.
