Recent Important News on ESP:
1️⃣ Token Launch and Airdrop Policy Initiation
The ESP token was officially launched recently, accompanied by a 10% airdrop plan. As a milestone following the Espresso Network mainnet launch, the token release with large-scale airdrops may cause a rapid increase in initial market supply, putting downward pressure on the price. Additionally, the airdrop provides a low-cost entry point for new ecosystem participants, but may also trigger short-term cash-out behaviors, which are related to the 12.35% decline over the past 24 hours.
2️⃣ Intensified Competition in Layer 2 Scaling Ecosystem
Espresso Network aims to support Layer 2 scaling solutions such as rollups, Validiums, L2, and L3 on Ethereum and other chains, at a time when Layer 2 solutions are gaining market attention. The competitive landscape is complex, with multiple mainstream players vying for cross-chain infrastructure dominance. Market evaluation of different solutions is still in exploration, which may limit valuation recognition for new ESP projects entering the space.
3️⃣ Staking Mechanism and Ecosystem Incentives
The ESP token’s staking function is now open, allowing stakers to unlock enhanced staking rewards. As an infrastructure project, its value capture depends on real usage demand and participation within the ecosystem. In the early stages, while staking provides incentives for holding tokens, actual adoption and network effects need time to develop. Short-term market valuation of this mechanism remains uncertain.

HOOD drops 17% in two days, down 37% year-to-date: Can Robinhood rebound 68% amid crypto business drag?
On February 13, news reports indicate that Robinhood Markets experienced a double blow this week from weak earnings and declining crypto sentiment. The stock price fell nearly 17% within two trading days after releasing its Q4 earnings on February 10, with a year-to-date decline of 37%. The earnings report showed a earnings per share of $0.66, slightly above expectations, but revenue of $1.28 billion fell short of Wall Street estimates, primarily due to a sharp drop in cryptocurrency trading income.
Data shows that cryptocurrency-related revenue for the quarter plummeted 38% year-over-year to $221 million, with trading activity significantly weakening. Market concerns suggest that this business is unlikely to recover in the short term, becoming a key factor putting pressure on the stock price.
