*Catch all the highlights from April, including the RWA public launch, campaign highlights, events, and what’s next for perp markets*

![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/37/82/37822e10-9d2d-43a2-bb10-35e6e8b4d8bc/content/images/2026/06/69fddf863317ed58c3c3e9d3_MT-March-2026-Monthly-Recap-_-X-Graphic.png)

April felt like it was over before it even started.

The crypto timeline was anything but quiet. DeFi exploits hit record monthly highs with roughly $625M–$651M stolen, AI continued dominating every conversation online, and global attention remained fixed on the next era of space exploration with NASA’s Artemis mission developments.

April was certainly *not* for the weak.

On Monday Trade, we launched tokenized stocks (RWAs) to everyone, added 30+ new trading pairs, rolled out new RWA campaigns for traders, introduced our ambassador program, and connected with the community at events in Korea.

Catch all of this, and a lot more in our April recap ↓

## **Monday Trade Mainnet: April Snapshot**

April reinforced something even more important: consistency compounds.

As we expanded our RWA products, simplified the trading experience, and leaned deeper into community-led content and campaigns, we continued building strong momentum.

The first month of Q2 made one thing clear: accessible onchain trading is where we strive.

## RWAs Launch Into Hyperspace: Now Open to Everyone

April marked the [**launch of Real-World Assets**](https://x.com/MondayTrade%5F/status/2044777873559490628?s=20&ref=blog.monday.trade) (RWAs) landing on Monday Trade.

What started with teasers, waitlists, and early beta access has now opened to everyone. Trade tokenized stocks with 24/5 trading, and a simpler experience without the usual CEX friction and KYC barriers.

**Here’s what this means for you:**

- Trade RWAs now on: [app.monday.trade](http://app.monday.trade/?ref=blog.monday.trade)
- No KYC or bank required
- Each tokenized stock is backed 1:1 by the underlying stock held in a regulated brokerage account, giving you direct economic exposure to traditional equities from your Web3 wallet.
- Fully Regulated
- Fully Onchain & Transparent
- Trades Execute at Monad Speed
- 24/5 trading (see full trading hours [here](https://docs.monday.trade/rwa-trading/how-rwa-trading-works?ref=blog.monday.trade#trading-hours))

**RWA Campaign Highlights**

Last month, we focused on strengthening our RWA narrative across content, campaigns, and product education. The goal remained the same: making RWAs easier to understand and easier to access for all traders.

Here’s a quick recap of the RWA Campaigns you missed in April:

1. [**First Buyer Incentive Campaign:**](https://x.com/MondayTrade%5F/status/2039659164041941153?s=20&ref=blog.monday.trade) Users earned a 10% bonus on their first RWA purchase
2. [**RWA Weekly Trading Rewards:**](https://blog.monday.trade/rwa-weekly-trading-rewards) Users earned weekly rewards for trading RWAs.

## Perp Transition in Motion

Onto more critical announcements, last month we announced we’re entering the next phase of Monday Trade and DeFi on Monad.

[**Perp markets on Monday Trade are temporarily winding down**](https://x.com/MondayTrade%5F/status/2049444067482710303?s=20&ref=blog.monday.trade) as part of a controlled transition towards RWA-focused products.

We highly encourage you to close out your perp positions.

**Key dates to make note of:**

- 4th of May: Perp trading points will be redirected to RWA and Spot trading during the perp wind-down period.
- 8th of May: All perp positions are fully closed

## RWA Live Event in Seoul

Last month, [we brought the conversation to Seoul](https://x.com/MondayTrade%5F/status/2045443383733219796?s=20&ref=blog.monday.trade), Korea through a live event focused on onchain investing, tokenization, and the future of accessible global markets.

The RWA Live event introduced the world of tokenized assets to over 80+ attendees, collaborating with Monad and Anchored for a series of discussions, panels, raffles and live trading demos.
