In the fast-paced world of crypto trading, new token-sale announcements and network updates often draw attention. This week, Cold Wallet (CWT) has been discussed after the project reported raising more than $6 million in fundraising while stating a token-sale price of $0.00998. Separately, Avalanche, Polygon, and NEAR Protocol have seen activity tied to technical upgrades, ecosystem programs, and changes in large-holder behavior.
The Cold Wallet team has also claimed it is starting with more than 2 million active users ahead of launch, citing its acquisition of Plus Wallet. Market participants are weighing these project-reported figures alongside ongoing price action in AVAX, MATIC, and NEAR.
Cold Wallet fundraising: project-reported figures and product claims
Cold Wallet (CWT) describes its product as a wallet that provides rewards tied to usage. According to the project, across 17 crypto presale stages, it has raised $6 million and sold more than 700 million tokens, with Stage 17 pricing at $0.00998 per CWT. The project has also referenced a proposed launch price of $0.3517; as with any such figures, outcomes are uncertain and depend on market conditions and execution.
The team says its model returns rewards to users for actions such as swaps or on/off-ramp use. These claims are based on project materials and have not been independently verified in this article.
Cold Wallet has said it acquired Plus Wallet in a deal valued at $270 million and that the acquisition brought more than 2 million active users ahead of launch. It also positions its design as a user-experience alternative to other wallets; such comparisons are subjective and may vary by user.
As with other early-stage token sales, pricing, demand and any future listing details remain uncertain. Readers should treat project-reported numbers and forward-looking statements as unverified and subject to change.
Avalanche: institutional activity and recent upgrades
Avalanche (AVAX) has been in focus after a sharp move that coincided with reported institutional activity and technical upgrades. The article’s source claims that on August 12, AVAX rose 13.48% following a $250 million injection into Real-World Assets (RWA) and the Octane upgrade, which it says boosted Total Value Locked by 40%. It also cites a further move the next day to around $24.77, alongside references to BlackRock activity and market speculation about a 2025 Avalanche ETF.
Upgrades such as Octane are intended to affect network performance and DeFi activity, but market responses can change quickly. Any discussion of potential price levels (including references to $30) is speculative and not a forecast.
Polygon: faster finality and a builder-incentive program
Polygon (MATIC) has highlighted infrastructure improvements through the Heimdall v2 upgrade, which the project says reduced transaction finality from over a minute to about five seconds. Polygon also announced the Polygon x Kaito leaderboard, which it says will reward top 50 content creators with $30,000 USDC monthly.
These types of network and ecosystem initiatives can influence developer activity and user engagement, though their impact on market prices is uncertain.
NEAR Protocol: large-holder activity and institutional flows
NEAR Protocol has shown mixed signals in market commentary. The article cites whale wallet data indicating accumulation by large holders. It also states NEAR was trading around $2.89, with a market cap near $3.61 billion and rising daily volume.
The piece further claims that on August 14 the token fell as much as 6.9% to $2.75 after institutions sold nearly 20 million tokens, before rebounding to $2.82. These conditions can contribute to volatility, and on-chain data can be interpreted in multiple ways.
Market recap: tokens in focus this week
This week’s market discussion has centered on Avalanche’s reported institutional-related headlines and upgrades, Polygon’s infrastructure changes and community program, and NEAR’s mix of large-holder and institutional flow narratives. Cold Wallet has also drawn attention due to its token-sale fundraising claims and its reported user-base figures ahead of launch.
The Cold Wallet team has highlighted a Stage 17 token-sale price of $0.00998 and referenced a proposed launch price of $0.3517. Such figures are not guarantees and should not be treated as expected outcomes.
