Aero sets Oct. 21 merger launch date and token conversion terms

Aero has set Oct. 21 as the launch date for its merger and outlined how existing tokens will convert under the new structure. According to details cited by The Defiant, AERO will convert on a one-to-one basis, while VELO will convert at roughly 0.044 new AERO for each token. The update also states that existing locked positions will keep their remaining lock duration rather than being reset during the transition. The announcement gives tokenholders a clearer view of the mechanics ahead of the merger launch, focusing on the conversion ratio for both assets and the treatment of locked tokens. No additional terms were provided in the source text beyond the launch date, the conversion rates, and the handling of current locks.

Monad offered up to $60 million to buy back locked MON, but almost no early investors sold

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.
