On January 16, 2025, the DeFi sector witnessed notable movements in bridging ecosystem assets, particularly Stargate V2. According to data from IntoTheBlock, Stargate V2’s trading volume on January 16, 2025, reached a peak of $120 million within a 24-hour period, while its market cap stood at approximately $500 million (IntoTheBlock, 2025). This disparity between volume and market cap suggests potential market inefficiencies or untapped value, as highlighted by market analyst Lord Zyre (Twitter, @lord_zyre, January 16, 2025). The specific metrics from IntoTheBlock reveal a clear gap in the asset’s valuation, with the 24-hour volume being 24% of the market cap, a significant deviation from the sector average of 10% (IntoTheBlock, 2025). Additionally, the price of Stargate V2 increased by 5% from $10 to $10.50 on January 16, 2025, reflecting heightened investor interest (CoinGecko, 2025).

On-chain metrics from Etherscan showed a spike in active addresses to 10,000, up from an average of 7,000 in the previous week, suggesting increased engagement (Etherscan, 2025).
