The announcement was made on Saturday via PnP’s official X account, stating that users can now convert real-time DeFi metrics into tradable prediction contracts.
We just integrated @DefiLlama into PNP.
You can now create prediction markets on live DeFi data – tvl, market cap, and outflows.
It means anyone can turn on-chain metrics into tradable markets.

DeFiLlama provides a wide range of blockchain analytics data, including total value locked (TVL), market capitalization, protocol revenues, and fee volumes across multiple chains. Through this integration, PnP users can create and trade markets directly on live on-chain metrics sourced from DeFiLlama’s data feed.
Unlike existing centralized prediction platforms, Kalshi and Polymarket, which require permissioned approval for new listings, PnP’s DeFiLlama integration removes intermediaries entirely. It enables an open marketplace where users can speculate on any on-chain metric without custodial oversight or listing restrictions.
The feature will allow anyone to open new markets based on protocol performance, liquidity movements, or token flows. Traders will also earn fees when others participate in the markets they create.
The global prediction markets sector continues to gain traction in October. Earlier in the month, NYSE Parent, Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (ICE), took a $2 billion stake in Polymarket. The deal valued the platform at $9 billion post-money, making 27-year-old founder and CEO Shayne Coplan the youngest self-made billionaire.
On Friday, major derivatives exchange operator CME Group also announced a partnership with FanDuel, aiming at launching a new prediction market platform to rival existing players.
Solana’s official X page amplified the news, sharing PnP’s announcement with its 3.5 million followers.
As institutional Gold markets and US equities closed trading on Friday, major altcoins saw increased inflows, but Solana’s native token (SOL) struggled to sustain momentum. On Saturday, Ethereum (ETH), BNB, and XRP posted roughly 3% gains, while Solana underperformed with the weakest price uptick of 1.3%, among the top 5 ranked layer-1 assets.
Market data from Coinglass shows that SOL underperformance is linked to intense bearish pressure from futures traders.
Solana Derivatives Market Analysis | Source: Coinglass
As seen above, SOL futures trading volumes dropped 56.02% to $14.4 billion, while open interest fell 6.37% to $8.51 billion.
The long-to-short ratio also remains negative at 0.96, signaling bearish dominance. Solana traders’ reluctance to back up the 1.3% intraday gains with new futures positions poses a “bull trap,” signal. Failure to hold out for a close above $185 could see SOL price slide towards the next major supply cluster at $18.
With Solana price struggling below the $190 mark, traders are rotating into high-upside early-stage projects like Maxi Doge (MAXI). The meme-powered leverage platform offers up to 1000x leverage with zero stop-loss restrictions, attracting traders with a high-risk appetite.
Maxi Doge Presale
The Maxi Doge presale has now surpassed $3.7 million out of its $3.9 million target. MAXI tokens are currently priced at $0.00026 per token, with the next tier set to activate in approximately 48 hours. Prospective investors can visit the official Maxi Doge presale website to earn early-joiner benefits before public listings.

After suffering one of its steepest crashes to date, the Aster (ASTER) cryptocurrency is once again showing signs of life.
The decentralised exchange token has rebounded more than 13% in the past 24 hours, recovering from a deep selloff that wiped out over half of its market value earlier this month.
The rebound follows a chaotic week in the crypto market that saw more than $20 billion in leveraged positions liquidated — the largest single-day wipeout in digital asset history.
Aster, which had climbed to prominence after rebranding from APX, was hit particularly hard, plunging nearly 52% from its September highs around $2.30 to as low as $1.10.
The crash came after a string of damaging events, including its abrupt removal from DeFiLlama, a $12 million token transfer to Binance, and a delay in its highly anticipated Stage 2 airdrop.
Aster’s removal from DeFiLlama last week was more than a simple data correction. It reignited a broader debate about transparency and trust in decentralised finance (DeFi).
The analytics platform flagged Aster’s reported volumes for suspicious similarities with Binance’s perpetual market data, suggesting the exchange’s activity might not be entirely organic.
For a project that had quickly climbed to the top of the DEX leaderboard, the delisting was a major credibility blow.
The controversy highlighted a deeper issue within DeFi of how much the supposedly trustless system still depends on centralised gatekeepers to define what’s real.
Experts note that roughly a quarter of exchanges still display signs of inflated activity through wash trading or automated self-dealing.
When DeFiLlama pulled Aster’s data, some, like Bolivian, accused the aggregator of acting as a centralised authority.
Others, like Simon Dedic, defended its decision, saying it protected the integrity of market data. The incident served as a reminder that in a world built on transparency, trust remains the weakest link.
Adding to the uncertainty is Aster’s upcoming Stage 2 airdrop, which the team postponed from October 14 to October 20 after complaints about allocation discrepancies.
The developers have, however, confirmed that 4% of the token supply will soon move from the Airdrop Reserve to the project’s Treasury contract, ready for the unlock.
Heads up, community.
We’re moving funds on-chain to prepare for the upcoming Stage 2 $ASTER airdrop claim.
A total of 4% of $ASTER tokens will be transferred from the Airdrop Reserve to the Aster DEX Treasury contract.These are official transactions conducted by the team.…

While the delay has temporarily eased selling pressure, it has also raised concerns about future dilution.
More than half of Aster’s total supply remains designated for upcoming airdrops, and the lack of clear vesting details could spark volatility once tokens enter circulation.
Despite these challenges, Aster’s price has rebounded sharply, trading around $1.56 after recovering key support at $1.50.
Technical indicators show improving sentiment. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has climbed above the neutral 50 mark, while the MACD has turned positive, suggesting renewed buying pressure.
A clean break above $1.60 could open the path to $1.70 and eventually the psychological $2 level if momentum holds.
On-chain data also supports the bullish turn. Aster’s total value locked (TVL) has risen slightly to $2.16 billion, signalling that liquidity is slowly returning to the protocol.
The rebound in TVL, while modest, suggests users are regaining confidence after last week’s panic.
However, analysts caution that the pattern resembles a “dead cat bounce” common after steep selloffs.
$ASTER this might be unpopular, but there’s a valid case to be made that despite the liquidation, Aster’s still forming another lower high while bulls try to regain momentum.

If the bullish pressure fades, the price could retreat toward $1.25 or even $0.97.
