$LAYER is trading at $0.6908—with a 24-hour volume of $228.9 million and a market cap of $145.1 million—up 10.03% in the last day. This breakout was kicked off by the launch of Solayer’s v1.2 “Warp Rollup” update—bringing sub-second finality and 2,500 TPS to its Layer-2 network—which immediately drove a 35% surge in daily on-chain transactions; was turbo-charged by yesterday’s KuCoin listing, unlocking USDT and BTC pairs and sending volumes soaring over 700%; further buoyed by the rollout of its new 18% APR staking program (which has already locked up 30% of circulating LAYER); and cemented by a decisive reclaim of the $0.65 pivot on heavy volume that drew momentum traders back in, even as on-chain data show renewed whale accumulation tightening available supply.
