DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In November 2025, MOVA officially announced the launch and trading of its native token, marking the network’s transition into full market circulation and ecosystem self-governance. Simultaneously, the network’s native derivatives protocol, MOVA Liquid, went live. Its first trading pair, MOVA/USD1, recorded over $3 million in 24-hour trading volume and a 370% price surge, making it one of the most talked-about DeFi projects of the quarter.
These milestones not only reflect the market’s confidence in MOVA’s technical architecture but also signify that Modular Finance is moving from concept validation to real-world implementation.
MOVA Chain: A Foundational Infrastructure for Institutional-Grade Financial Applications
MOVA is a high-performance blockchain purpose-built for payment, settlement, and asset issuance scenarios. Adopting a modular architecture, MOVA decouples the consensus, execution, and settlement layers, reshaping the balance between performance and flexibility in blockchain systems.
In testing environments, MOVA achieved world-class benchmarks:
- Peak throughput: 110,547 TPS
- Average processing speed: 100,108 TPS
- Finality: Under 1.5 seconds
This modular design not only optimizes transactional performance but also provides a foundation for scaling advanced financial functionalities. Developers can flexibly combine modules within the MOVA framework to deploy payment channels, derivatives markets, and stablecoin settlements. This “composable financial infrastructure” makes MOVA not just a blockchain, but a sustainable and evolvable financial system operating platform.
Compliance and transparency are core pillars of MOVA’s architecture. The network natively supports KYC/AML audit modules and transaction-level compliance interfaces, enabling institutional participants to operate on-chain under regulatory frameworks — effectively bridging Web3 and traditional finance through both technology and compliance.
Strategic Financing and Global Expansion
In August 2025, MOVA announced the completion of a $100 million strategic funding round, co-led by Aqua1 Foundation and GeoNova Capital (UAE), with participation from several top Abu Dhabi financial institutions.
This round focuses on:
- Deployment of global node and validator networks
- Construction of a stablecoin-based cross-border settlement system
- Expansion of institutional compatibility interfaces
This positions MOVA as a key component of Middle Eastern capital’s global financial infrastructure strategy. Over the next three years, MOVA aims to establish a comprehensive ecosystem covering nodes, clearing, stablecoin infrastructure, and liquidity management, providing a high-performance, compliant, and composable foundation for financial institutions, payment providers, and Web3 enterprises.
Token Trading Launch: MOVA Ecosystem Enters Market Price Discovery
The official launch of the MOVA token marks the ecosystem’s transition from its technical and capital phase into market-driven price discovery and liquidity.
The first trading pair, MOVA/USD1, showed exceptional performance on day one — exceeding $3 million in trading volume and reaching a 370% price increase. The platform’s zero trading fee promotion attracted strong organic participation, establishing a solid foundation for liquidity and market depth.
This phase validates MOVA’s network performance and matching efficiency while initiating a market-led valuation process. The token’s market cap and liquidity depth will serve as key indicators for future ecosystem growth and institutional adoption.
MOVA Liquid: The First Native Implementation of Modular Finance
Launched alongside the token, MOVA Liquid is MOVA’s first native decentralized derivatives platform, leveraging the blockchain’s modular architecture to achieve centralized-exchange-level execution efficiency in a fully decentralized system.
Core features include:
- Separated matching and clearing modules: Independent configuration for risk parameters, margin models, and settlement cycles per asset class.
- Pluggable compliance modules: Institutions or developers can enable identity verification and audit trails as needed.
- Multi-asset parallel execution: Supports multiple derivatives markets running simultaneously without interference.
- Stablecoin settlement system: Fully on-chain settlement powered by MOVA’s native compliant stablecoin, USD1.
This structure makes MOVA Liquid not just a trading protocol but also a benchmark implementation proving MOVA’s financial scalability and modular flexibility.
From a technical perspective, MOVA Liquid demonstrates the logic of modular finance:
Base layer → Token circulation → Product deployment → Ecosystem closure.
This progression, from blockchain infrastructure to product layer integration, gives MOVA both technological depth and structural business logic.
Future Outlook: From Modular Finance to a Global Settlement Network
MOVA’s strategic vision extends beyond performance — it aims to build a global modular financial network spanning cross-border payments, derivatives, RWA (real-world assets), and stablecoin settlements.
With the launch of MOVA Liquid, the ecosystem has entered its real-world validation stage. Upcoming initiatives include:
- Integration with regional settlement networks and regulatory sandboxes
- Expansion of USD1-based multi-asset trading and settlement ecosystems
- Introduction of DAO governance involving institutional nodes and strategic partners
As DeFi in 2025 shifts “from narrative to structure,” MOVA’s path represents the industry’s move toward infrastructure-level transformation.
The 370% first-day surge is not a sign of speculation — it’s an early market valuation signal for a new generation of decentralized financial infrastructure: composable, compliant, and sustainable.
