Decrypt’s Morning Minute said Pump.fun’s PUMP token is showing its first golden cross since launch, with the 50-day EMA moving above the 200-day EMA after a prolonged downturn. The token fell to $0.001491 in July, traded as high as $0.003 intraday on Monday, and later changed hands near $0.002733.

Monad Foundation said it has completed a buyback plan that offered to purchase locked MON tokens from some early investors before their vesting schedule began to unlock. The foundation had set aside as much as $60 million for the program, aiming to give eligible holders a way to cash out early at a discounted price rather than wait for open trading and scheduled unlocks. Yet nearly all investors contacted declined to sell. The foundation did not disclose the final purchase price, the amount of capital ultimately used, or how many investors took part. It said any tokens repurchased under the plan would remain subject to the original lockup schedule, meaning the buyback would not accelerate token supply into the market. Monad’s early investors received about 19.7 billion MON, close to 20% of initial supply, when the mainnet launched last November. Those tokens are set for a first unlock in November, followed by monthly releases over four years. The development comes as MON trades below its public sale price while the chain’s onchain activity rises. On Tuesday, MON was around $0.021, below the $0.025 public sale level. At the same time, DeFiLlama data cited in the report showed Monad ecosystem TVL climbing from about $360 million on July 2 to roughly $895 million in six weeks, with stablecoins at about $707 million and 24-hour DEX volume near $79 million.

DeFiLlama has held back its official mobile app release because phishing apps impersonating the project have remained on Apple’s App Store, according to founder 0xngmi. He said the team decided not to launch until all fake apps are removed, aiming to reduce the risk of users being scammed. 0xngmi also described the team’s efforts to get one fraudulent app taken down. He said they spent months reporting the app to Apple for trademark infringement and impersonation of the official DeFiLlama product. The team later funded a small wallet, downloaded the app, and found that the wallet’s funds were fully stolen, which they then reported to Apple. According to him, the app was removed within a few days after that report. He added that he wanted other crypto companies to know about the experience so they would not waste time in the same way.

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi said the team deliberately funded a wallet linked to a fake DeFiLlama app on Apple’s App Store and allowed the app to steal the funds in order to collect hard evidence. According to the disclosure, Apple removed the app within days after receiving proof of the theft. Before that, the DeFiLlama team had repeatedly reported the app to Apple for trademark infringement, but had received no response for months. During that period, the team also delayed the release of its own official app to avoid confusing users. Public information about the developer behind the fake app has not been disclosed, and 0xngmi did not provide the amount sent from the sacrificial wallet or the exact timing of the test. The account was cited by CryptoBriefing.

DeFiLlama founder 0xngmi said on Aug. 15 that the team had spent months trying to get Apple to remove a fake app impersonating DeFiLlama from the App Store.

The team then reported that theft to Apple. 0xngmi said the app was removed within days after Apple received the report. He added that he wanted other crypto companies to know about the experience so they would not waste time in the same way.
