The crypto world is buzzing with the latest from BSC News, highlighting five standout projects on the Core DAO ecosystem. As a blockchain that's blending Bitcoin's rock-solid security with DeFi innovations, Core DAO is gaining traction fast—with over $300 million in total value locked (TVL) and more than 125 decentralized apps (dApps). This tweet from BSC News points to some gems that could ride the wave of Core's growth, especially for meme token enthusiasts.

While Core DAO isn't exclusively a meme playground, it's home to a budding meme coin scene, like the Call of Memes Yacht Club ($COME) and initiatives from communities such as Memes on the Core Chain, which incubates community-driven meme projects. These new projects could provide the infrastructure to make meme tokens thrive even more. Let's break them down one by one, explaining what they do in simple terms and how they might tie into the wild world of memes.

ASX Capital: Tokenizing Real Estate for DeFi Yields

First up is ASX Capital, a project that's bridging real-world assets (RWAs) with DeFi on Core DAO. In plain English, RWAs are things like real estate or stocks turned into digital tokens on the blockchain. ASX lets users create and trade NFTs backed by actual U.S. commercial real estate, where you earn monthly yields in USDC (a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar) from rental income.

The $ASX token comes with zero buy tax and a 4% sell tax, part of which goes back to holders through buybacks and airdrops. It's integrated with Core's non-custodial Bitcoin staking, meaning you can stake your BTC without giving up control and earn CORE tokens on top.

For meme token fans, this opens doors to diversifying portfolios. Imagine meme communities pooling funds to invest in RWAs, generating passive income to fuel more meme coin launches or marketing hype. It's a way to add real utility to the fun side of crypto.

Blockz.gg: Your Go-To NFT Marketplace on Core

Next, Blockz.gg is shaking things up as a digital asset marketplace secured by Bitcoin's hash power—the computing muscle that keeps BTC safe. It's essentially an NFT hub where you can buy, sell, lend, or even earn yields on tokenized items like art, collectibles, or in-game assets.

With super-low fees (under a penny per transaction) thanks to Core's EVM compatibility (that's Ethereum Virtual Machine, making it easy for devs to build on), it's user-friendly for exploring collections by floor price, sales volume, and more. Gamified features and community input keep it fresh.

This one's a no-brainer for memes: NFTs are often the visual backbone of meme coins, think Pepe frogs or Doge pics. Blockz.gg could become the spot for trading meme-inspired NFTs, helping creators monetize viral content and build stronger communities around meme tokens on Core.

BitFi: Unlocking Yields on Your Bitcoin Holdings

BitFi is all about blending centralized finance (CeFi, like traditional banks but crypto-style) with DeFi to let you earn on your Bitcoin without losing custody. Their bfBTC token is basically BTC plus extra yields—5-8% APY through smart strategies that balance risks.

No minimums (start with as little as 0.0001 BTC), zero fees, and full liquidity make it accessible. They're backed by big names like Binance's MVB9 accelerator and integrate with tons of dApps.

In the meme token context, this means more capital efficiency. Meme traders holding BTC can earn passive income, freeing up funds to ape into the next hot meme coin on Core without selling their Bitcoin stack. It's like having your cake and eating it too—secure yields fueling meme mania.

Houdini Swap: Privacy-First Cross-Chain Swaps

Houdini Swap focuses on secure, private asset exchanges across different blockchains on Core DAO. Their "Houdini Mode" ensures swaps are anonymous with audited protocols, low slippage (minimal price impact), and broad compatibility.

Privacy is huge in crypto, especially for avoiding front-running or tracking in volatile markets. For meme tokens, which often thrive on hype and quick flips, this tool could let traders move assets discreetly, dodging taxes or scrutiny while bridging liquidity from other chains into Core's meme ecosystem.

Agora: Stablecoins Bridging TradFi and Crypto

Rounding out the list is Agora, which issues AUSD—a USD-pegged stablecoin fully backed by collateral. It's designed for easy fiat-to-crypto ramps via integrations like Ramp and Trust Wallet, with zero fees for purchases.

Stablecoins like AUSD are the glue for DeFi, providing stability amid crypto's ups and downs. For institutions and everyday users, it simplifies entering BTCfi. In meme land, this means smoother trading pairs for meme tokens against stables, reducing volatility risks and attracting more liquidity to projects like $COME.

These projects showcase Core DAO's potential as a powerhouse for BTC-secured DeFi, and with its growing meme coin community, they could be the launchpad for the next wave of viral tokens. If you're into memes, keep an eye on how these tools evolve— they might just make your favorite pump even more epic. For the full scoop, check out the original BSC News article.
