Qubetics crypto price collapses 97% amid airdrop turmoil

TICS, the crypto behind the blockchain protocol Qubetics, crashed after technical issues plagued its airdrop launch.

Summary
  • TICS crypto collapsed 97% after botching the airdrop
  • The project blamed an outsourced team for the failure
  • Qubetics claims it’s building a cross-chain Web3 aggregator

High-tech blockchain projects are only as strong as the confidence in their technical teams. On Thursday, July 31, the Qubetics (TICS) team addressed the botched airdrop that caused the token to crash 97%.

The team acknowledged “critical errors” in the vesting contract during the live airdrop launch. However, the team denied direct responsibility, placing the blame on an outsourced development team, Antier, which was allegedly in charge of the vesting contracts.

The team promised a full report on the issue and said all eligible wallets would receive the full allocation of tokens. Qubetics also emphasized that it remains committed to its roadmap to build a layer-1 network aggregating the Web3 ecosystem, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.

What happened with the TICS crypto aidrop

On July 30, the team planned to unlock and distribute 10% of the tokens immediately, with the remaining 90% unlocked over the next 90 days at a rate of 1% per day. Following the launch, the token initially surged 950% to $2.16 at its peak.

However, technical issues soon emerged. Multiple users reported receiving significantly less than 10% of their allocation, which the team later confirmed. Observers also noted that the 1% daily vesting schedule contributed to heavy selling pressure, accelerating the token’s collapse.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
