Latest Trading market Announcement Today, September 26: Plasma (XPL), ASTER, Avantis (AVNT), and STBL Adjusting as BTC USD and Ethereum USD Pairs Remain Stagnant
Today’s market isn’t in the best condition, with BTC USD and Ethereum USD pairs remaining in a severe downturn. Yet, not everything is down. Emerging assets such as Plasma(XPL), ASTER, Stable (SBTL), and Avantis(AVNT) are attracting USD liquidity. While Bitcoin has fallen below 110K USD and ETH has seen a decline of over 2.5%, these newer coins have achieved gains exceeding 100% at a minimum.
The XPL USD pair is reaching $1.5 post-launch, and the ASTER USD pair has logged impressive 3-digit percentage increases to $2.4, before experiencing corrections in the last couple of days.

On social media, particularly Twitter, the sentiment is on the rise. Weekly mentions of ASTER are surging by 190%. From negative comments to bullish posts, ASTER is incredibly prominent, aided by the involvement of CZ, the Founder of Binance. Many are predicting it to be the next major perp DEX, with increasing comparisons to Hyperliquid.

On the other hand, XPL is receiving accolades for its no-fee stablecoin transfers and practical applications, backed by Tether. This is significant in a crypto market where both Ethereum and Bitcoin seem unable to find momentum, continuing to decline against USD.

ASTER and XPL USD Pairs Ignite While Bitcoin and ETH Stumble
In spite of the weakness in BTC ▼-1.82% and Ethereum ▼-2.49%, tokens such as ASTER and XPL are making notable progress. According to CoinGlass, the open interest in ASTER USD has surged to over $1 billion.

Additionally, DeFiLlama indicates it’s accumulating significant perp volume, surpassing Hyperliquid with $100 billion just this week. Meanwhile, XPL is drawing in over 1 billion USD in bridged assets.

Data reflects that crypto traders are reallocating their USD stablecoins from traditional assets to those that exhibit potential for growth, namely ASTER, XPL, AVNT, and STBL.
STBL, currently priced around $0.46, has experienced a twofold increase this week. Supported by a $100M minting initiative and the endorsement of Tether’s CEO, its credibility is building up.
People starting to realize… $STBL is only $400M MC and has the backing of a Tether co-founder. The math writes itself.

AVNT, or Avantis, is on a similar trajectory. Despite a 19% drop today, it has gained 45% over the week, trading just above 1.5 USD. With RWA perps and institutional interest growing, AVNT USD is certainly a coin to monitor.
Thus, while Bitcoin USD and ETH USD pairs continue to decline, there is vibrancy in the crypto market.
