This week's been another round of all-time highs for x402, with all metrics (transactions, volume, buyers, sellers) expanding rapidly as the new protocol gains excitement.

Granted, much of these stats are likely inflated by the wave of "x402" tokens which have swept across onchain in recent days, a trend I'd highly suggest fading — except for maybe Daydreams (though, I don't hold any.)
