BlockBeats News, February 11, after several rounds of limited card packs sold out quickly, Renaiss recently launched the Infinite Gacha Beta limited-time test to further verify system stability and actual trading behavior under high concurrency scenarios. The test was successfully completed. Renaiss stated that the single transaction volume during this Infinite Gacha test exceeded $700,000, with 7,117 Pokémon cards certified by the professional authentication agency PSA being drawn, and the highest single card valued at over $2,500. Currently, Renaiss has been online for just three months and is still in the Open Beta phase. The platform's cumulative total trading volume has reached $3 million, and the official website has registered over 160,000 users. The official team revealed that Infinite Gacha, as one of the core modules at the application layer of Renaiss, is expected to officially launch in the first quarter of 2026.

ChainCatcher reported that the on-chain options market has reached a historic high in trading volume over the past two weeks, with the first week of February recording $44 million and the last week of January reaching $28 million. Currently, over 80% of the trading volume is concentrated on the two major protocols, Ithaca and Derive, which processed $26 million and $11 million in transactions last week, respectively, while the third-ranked Overtime recorded only $2 million. The reasons for the surge in trading volume remain inconclusive in the market. Possible factors include the annualized yield for USDT lending on Aave dropping to around 2%, reducing its attractiveness, as well as market expectations for Hyperliquid's upcoming HIP-4 market launch. Well-known DeFi trader Route 2 Fi recently posted on X, stating that the 2% annualized yield for USDT on Aave is no longer appealing, sparking widespread discussion in the community and reflecting that some users are actively seeking alternative investment channels with higher returns.
