Movement Network Foundation Announces Public Mainnet Beta Now Live with $250M+ TVL
Innovative day-one liquidity fuels the latest Move blockchain network launch
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Movement Network Foundation, the organization dedicated to advancing MoveVM technology, today announced the successful launch of Movement Public Mainnet Beta, with an impressive $250M in at-launch Total Value Locked (TVL) from the Cornucopia program. This milestone enables permissionless smart contract deployment and user onboarding for the first time and allows everyone to freely build on and use Movement, the only Move-based chain that settles to Ethereum.
Cornucopia Deepens Liquidity
“Securing over $233 million in TVL through our Cornucopia program is a clear validation of the market’s confidence in Movement,” said Cooper Scanlon, Co-Founder of Movement Labs. “This level of day-one liquidity is exceptionally rare for a new network and gives us, our builders, and our community a significant advantage. It allows us to skip the months-long bootstrapping phase and immediately provide the foundation needed for meaningful DeFi adoption and utility.”
Cornucopia provides Movement Network with substantial day-one liquidity across BTC, ETH, MOVE, and stablecoin assets, addressing one of the primary challenges new networks face: the “cold start” problem. Developed with industry leaders including Concrete, Veda Labs, Echelon and Canopy, this robust financial foundation enables Movement to support sophisticated DeFi applications from day one.
Public Mainnet Beta Launch: Features
Movement Network is a secure and scalable network of Move-based chains secured by Ethereum, creating safer execution environments through the Move programming language originally developed by Meta to power safer, better digital economies. Movement is the Network’s first chain.
Public Mainnet Beta key features:
- Permissionless smart contract deployment
- Full user onboarding and engagement
- Attestations of block states will be committed to Ethereum as part of the Movement’s Fast Finality Settlement.
- Canonical Movement bridge via LayerZero
“With Public Mainnet Beta, developers can now deploy smart contracts without approval, and users can freely engage with the Movement ecosystem. This marks the beginning of a new chapter for Move-based technology, combining robust security and better performance with Ethereum’s network affects” added Rushi Manche, Co-Founder, Movement Labs.
The launch features the canonical Movement bridge powered by LayerZero, enabling users to seamlessly transfer MOVE (the network’s native gas token), USDT, USDC, wBTC, wETH, and more to the Movement chain.
The Movement Network Foundation will continue to launch additional features over time as the ecosystem evolves.

Bybit’s CEO Meets with Vietnam’s Minister of Finance to Support Regulatory Sandbox and Strengthen Crypto Compliance
DUBAI, UAE, April 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, one of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchanges by trading volume, met with H.E. Nguyen Van Thang, Minister of Finance of Vietnam, to express Bybit’s strong support for the country’s regulatory sandbox initiative and its vision to build a safe, transparent, and innovation-friendly digital asset ecosystem.
Hosted at the Ministry of Finance headquarters, the meeting centered on Vietnam’s efforts to establish a comprehensive legal framework for crypto assets. Minister Nguyen Van Thang outlined the Government’s plan to launch a pilot sandbox mechanism that will allow regulators to test the issuance and trading of crypto assets in a controlled environment. This initiative is designed to mitigate risks, strengthen investor protection, and ensure regulatory readiness before introducing official legislation.
A key part of the discussion focused on safeguarding the market against illicit activities. The Minister emphasized the importance of robust compliance frameworks, including Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, to prevent the misuse of digital assets and support the country’s financial security.
In response, Ben Zhou welcomed Vietnam’s measured and responsible approach to digital asset regulation and reiterated Bybit’s long-standing commitment to compliance:
“Vietnam’s forward-thinking regulatory sandbox is a critical step toward unlocking the full potential of blockchain technology. At Bybit, we are fully aligned with the Government’s focus on investor protection and financial integrity,” said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “We are proud to share our expertise in KYC, AML, and global compliance standards, and we look forward to supporting Vietnam in building a resilient, secure, and dynamic crypto economy.”
Bybit expressed its readiness to collaborate with Vietnamese authorities on several fronts, including system architecture design, transaction oversight, and the implementation of international best practices in AML/KYC. The exchange also proposed support in capacity building, such as training financial regulators and sharing experiences from other jurisdictions.
Minister Nguyen Van Thang welcomed Bybit’s proactive approach and assigned the State Securities Commission to coordinate with Bybit on concrete proposals. He also commended Bybit’s reputation for strong financial capabilities, technological resilience, and its adherence to legal and regulatory requirements in the markets where it operates.
This meeting underscores Bybit’s growing role as a trusted international partner for regulatory dialogue and innovation. It also highlights Vietnam’s readiness to embrace blockchain technology while ensuring financial safety and public confidence in the digital asset space.
