Meridian mainnet upgrade

The crypto market sits at a total capitalization of $2.87T, with Bitcoin dominance near 58.7%. The top coins by market cap remain BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, XRP, USDC, SOL, and TRX — a reminder that capital still concentrates in the largest, most liquid names. Against that backdrop, the calendar ahead leans heavily toward incentive and rewards programs rather than hard protocol changes. Several campaigns cluster around late August and early September, spanning DeFi incentives, staking programs, and RWA initiatives. A few governance and community items also stand out — a grant vote and an AMA — alongside token-specific events tied to JUP, PENDLE, ASTER, WLFI, STX, SOL, ZEC, and ADA. For observers, the themes worth watching are the pace of incentive-driven activity, the continued build-out of real-world-asset campaigns, and how governance participation evolves. Whether these events shift liquidity or sentiment is the open question.
