The launch pad for $PING @c402markets will officially open on the 11th at 14:00 UTC (which is 10 PM tomorrow). All newly minted x402 tokens will be traded against $PING. This means that $PING will become the foundational liquidity asset for the entire x402 ecosystem, similar to the role of $VIRTUALS in the Virtuals Launchpad. From on-chain performance, the market has already started pricing in expectations. The market cap once surged to 37M. If x402 can truly become the gateway to the "internet capital market," then the role of $PING may be much more than just a pairing coin. I have a feeling that $PING might continue to be one of the focal points on x402 going forward. However, the daily trading volume of the x402 ecosystem and the number of websites/services supporting payments through the x402 protocol are not looking too good.
