Bearish AF Hits 10B Giphy Views; Kona Launches Leverage Trading on Abstract

A Saturday of milestone announcements and new product launches kept the Abstract ecosystem active through the weekend, with the Bearish AF collective and Kona DeFi each delivering notable news against a backdrop of softening on-chain metrics.

Bearish AF Crosses 10 Billion Giphy Views

tolibear_ announced Saturday that the Bearish AF Giphy strategy reached 10 billion cumulative views, one year after the initiative began. The figure reflects a sustained content distribution effort by the team behind bearish-nft and scottybmitch, who have built the brand across multiple Abstract-native products including their March Madness bracket platform launched earlier this week.

scottybmitch added a brief positive comment that drew 60 likes, signaling team satisfaction with the milestone. The Giphy strategy, which embeds branded GIFs across social platforms to drive passive brand awareness, has become a notable off-chain growth lever for an Abstract-native NFT project.

Kona Brings Leverage Trading to Abstract

kona launched leverage trading on Abstract on Saturday, introducing native PnL share cards that allow traders to display and share their performance directly from the platform. The feature targets the social trading audience and follows a broader trend of DeFi protocols adding shareable, identity-linked performance tools.

The launch adds a new trading primitive to the Abstract ecosystem at a moment when DEX volume has been modest. Saturday's 24-hour DEX volume across Abstract came in at $0.96M, and total TVL dipped to $20.1M from $21.5M earlier in the week. Morpho V1 continues to anchor the protocol stack at $6.71B in deposits, with Stargate V2 and Orderly Bridge rounding out the top three.

Gaming and Collectibles Updates

jihoz-axie outlined a major April product update for Axie, flagged growth in Moku's prize pool, and used his platform to contrast Solana memecoin culture unfavorably with prediction markets — commentary that drew attention given Abstract's own gaming and collectibles ecosystem.

@gacha_game_ ran a live Gacha pack raffle Saturday and highlighted a Roronoa Zoro P card that sold for $22,460, representing a 356% increase from its price six months prior. The sale underscores continued demand for high-grade collectible cards in the Abstract-adjacent market, a segment that @dyli_io has also been targeting with its upcoming PSA 10 box product.

Community and Ecosystem Engagement

@frankythefrog highlighted that holding a Nibble NFT now earns XP within the Franky's Dinner ecosystem, reinforcing the project's ongoing effort to add utility to its collectibles following the third birthday celebration and vault return announced earlier this week.

pollyxyz shared a lighthearted moment involving pengu requesting water, keeping the project's community tone casual and accessible. mariannehere polled followers on 2026 income strategies, touching on skill development and business planning — a recurring theme from the account that speaks to Abstract's creator-adjacent user base.

hunter-orrell was spotted monitoring activity on Polymarket, consistent with his pattern of tracking prediction market developments without detailed public commentary.

What to Watch

With Abstract TVL pulling back from its recent $21.5M high and weekend volume below $1M, attention will turn to whether kona's leverage trading launch can draw new activity to the chain early next week. @dyli_io's March 27 live rip event and the ongoing March Madness bracket competition remain the nearest-term catalysts on the calendar.
