PANews reported on November 17th that WeChat Security Center issued a "Crackdown Announcement on Illegal and Criminal Activities such as Pyramid Schemes and Fraud," stating that it has recently received user complaints that some WeChat accounts are engaging in illegal and criminal activities such as organizing pyramid schemes and fraud within WeChat groups. These activities use pretexts such as the "unfreezing of national assets," national policies and projects, as well as blockchain virtual currencies and stablecoins, to lure users into joining WeChat groups with the promise of high returns. Within these groups, users are encouraged to invite others, post unknown links leading to the download of fraudulent apps, conduct daily check-ins, and participate in brainwashing activities such as meetings and courses, ultimately committing fraud. These actions seriously infringe upon users' property rights. Once the above-mentioned behavior is discovered and verified, the platform will take tiered measures against the relevant accounts based on the severity of the violation, in accordance with relevant national laws and regulations, as well as platform agreements and rules such as the "Tencent WeChat Software License and Service Agreement" and the "WeChat Personal Account Usage Guidelines". Repeat offenders may be permanently restricted from logging in, and WeChat groups that are confirmed to be in violation will have their group functions suspended.PANews reported on November 17th that WeChat Security Center issued a "Crackdown Announcement on Illegal and Criminal Activities such as Pyramid Schemes and Fraud," stating that it has recently received user complaints that some WeChat accounts are engaging in illegal and criminal activities such as organizing pyramid schemes and fraud within WeChat groups.

Aster Price Surges After Airdrop and CZ Mention

Aster Price Surges After Airdrop and CZ Mention

The post Aster Price Surges After Airdrop and CZ Mention appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aster, previously referred to as APX, witnessed its token price soar on September 18, rising by over 360% in one day. The surge followed after the project started its airdrop program and from CZ. What’s Driving Aster Price Surge The token’s steep price action came after the token’s airdrop began, and it will run until October 17. Approximately 704 million tokens representing approximately 8.8% of the total supply are being sent to eligible users. These include members of Aster’s Spectra Stage 0 and 1 programs, owners of Aster Gems, and traders of Aster Pro. Adding fuel to the charge, CZ publicly congratulated the Aster team, further increasing visibility to the project. That validation, combined with the token distribution, driven the price surge. Fundamentals Behind the Rally Beyond the frenzy, Aster’s fundamentals have been improving. Based on statistics provided by DeFi Llama. Its perpetual futures platform has seen more than $12 billion worth of trading volume this month, an increase from $9.78 billion in August and $8.5 billion last July. Revenue has increased steeply as well. Fees earned this quarter total $8.82 million, up from only $1.8 million during the same time last year. In Q3 2024, Aster had only generated $11,660 in revenue, but today that number is up to $5.4 million. The total value locked (TVL) in the protocol has hit a record high of $1.85 billion, an astronomical increase from $141 million in January. What’s Next for Aster Analysts believe that the rally may prevail since Aster is now becoming available on additional exchanges, yet it is mainly traded on its own platform. Yet with recipients of the airdrop likely to take profits in place, there will be some pressure selling. Like other recently listed coins like WLFI, Spark, and Avantis, a good starting run will be followed…
