This is an original Kriptometre brief synthesising 3 outlets (Blockonomi, TronWeekly, Crypto.news), plus live market data, as of Sun, 18 Oct 2026 17:07:02 UTC.

Blockonomi, TronWeekly, and Crypto.news all report that Yuga Labs has launched the Mudwater trading card collection on the Solana blockchain, with specific benefits for BAYC and MAYC NFT holders. The outlets agree that the project allocates 2.5% of trading volume to APE token purchases. However, while Blockonomi and TronWeekly emphasize the collection's connection to Yuga Labs' ecosystem and the involvement of physical cards, Crypto.news focuses more on the ApeCoin rewards aspect and Solana's current market position.
Yuga Labs has launched Mudwater, a new trading card collection that combines physical cards with digital NFTs, built around Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) artwork. The collection features 120 unique artworks, including rare cracked-ice editions and eight serialized one-of-one cards.
Holders of BAYC NFTs are eligible to receive 10 packs per NFT, while MAYC holders will receive two packs per NFT. This distribution model aims to reward long-time supporters of Yuga Labs' NFT ecosystem. The project is hosted on the 
Solana blockchain, with trading support on OpenSea.
Multiple outlets confirm that Mudwater will allocate 2.5% of its trading volume to purchasing ApeCoin (APE), which could provide ongoing support for the token's value. This mechanism ties the new project to Yuga Labs' existing ecosystem, which includes the APE token and various NFT collections.
The launch comes as Solana's decentralized finance (DeFi) total value locked (TVL) stands at $5.95 billion, according to DeFiLlama. This indicates that the network continues to maintain a significant presence in the DeFi space, despite recent market fluctuations.
At the time of the launch, Solana (SOL) is trading at $102.65, down 1.33% in the last 24 hours and 5.95% over the past week. The overall cryptocurrency market cap is $2.79 trillion, with a neutral Fear & Greed index of 53. The launch of Mudwater could potentially impact SOL's price and trading volume, given the increased activity on the network.
Since this brief published about 10 hours ago, Solana (SOL) has moved from R$5.083,95$102.65 to R$5.067,11$102.31 — -0.33%.

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 SOL ≈ 5,258.73 ₺ (about $102.31), down 0.7% over 24 hours. The real itself trades about 3.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Turkish buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
