The PING token experienced a significant 50% surge in value within 24 hours following the announcement of c402.market, a new token minting platform utilizing the x402 protocol. Scheduled to launch on November 10, the platform enables users to create new tokens that automatically pair with PING, establishing it as the core currency within the x402 ecosystem. This approach is similar to models like Solana's Pump.fun, where native tokens are integrated into new asset creation, enhancing their utility.
