Airdrop

An Airdrop is a distribution of free tokens to a community, typically used as a marketing tool or a reward for early protocol adopters and testers. In 2026, the "points-to-airdrop" model has matured into merit-based incentive programs that utilize Sybil-resistance and Proof-of-Humanity to filter out bots. Airdrops remain a primary method for decentralized governance (DAO) bootstrapping. Follow this tag for the latest on retroactive rewards, eligibility criteria, and how to participate in the most anticipated token distributions in the ecosystem.

Building Through the Downturn – Why Smart Money Is Watching XYZVerse

Building Through the Downturn – Why Smart Money Is Watching XYZVerse

The post Building Through the Downturn – Why Smart Money Is Watching XYZVerse appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Popular crypto voices predict a slow market movement for the short term, with traders seeing a tug-of-war between fresh sellers and long-term holders. Buyers tried to lift the price, but a faint negative momentum bar keeps them cautious, with most speculating a larger bearish possibility for the biggest altcoins in the crypto space right now. But this market scenario has helped investors refocus on projects that are trending and building products that may actually get adopted and scaled eventually. Attention is turning to those who keep building, even as the market cools. A good example of this is XYZVerse, which has become a trending option in the space recently.  XYZ Selling Out Fast Post CS2 League Announcement $15M Raised and Counting – Momentum Surges as XYZVerse Brings Esports On-Chain A recent announcement of XYZVerse’s crypto-powered Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) League with a 5.5 million prize pool has generated some serious traction for the project. With its popularity rising considerably now, the project’s presale has also seen a surge in demand, having raised over $15 million already towards its $22 million target. With Stage 18 of 24 already 98% complete, investors seem keen to rush and stock up on XYZ tokens as soon as possible before prices rise again in the next phase, from the current $0.00715 to $0.009295. Learn how to join XYZ presale now Esports Meets Blockchain The project’s CS2 League would mark the first-ever crypto-powered esports event, which in itself is a rather bold experiment. It fuses blockchain transparency with competitive gaming, which may be a mix that the industry has been seeking for years now. Ten teams are set to battle for victory in an event where fans and token holders will both be integrated into the experience. src=”https://img.outsetpr.io/static/964bb04ab511115afba5.jpeg” /> Through 100 USDT access passes, viewers can vote…

BSC Memecoin platform swallows up 90% of the market every day, has Pump.fun completely become a "little brother"?

BSC Memecoin platform swallows up 90% of the market every day, has Pump.fun completely become a "little brother"?

Author: Mars_DeFi Compiled by: TechFlow Pump.fun has long been considered a powerful engine for memecoin. But that's only part of the story. PumpFun does dominate the market, but only within the Solana ecosystem. If you zoom out, you can see that BSC (via @four_meme_ ) is quietly eating up the field. From the information chart data (taking the market status of the last 24 hours as an example): PumpFun drives the issuance of approximately 11,000 tokens per day, a figure that exceeds all other Solana platforms combined. (1) Daily revenue regularly exceeds $500,000 to $600,000, making it the most profitable platform on Solana. (2) Within 24 hours, 61 projects successfully completed the initial issuance phase and were officially launched for trading, while other platforms such as Boop, Bags, Believe, LaunchLabs, Heaven, etc. only had 0-3. (3) Other Solana platforms such as LetsBonk, Sugar, Moonshot, Jup Studio, Launchlabs, etc. have had little luck attracting token creators. (4) Conclusion : Solana has become a one-man show. If you’re trading Solana’s memecoin, you’re essentially trading PumpFun’s memecoin, otherwise you’re trading nothing. However, the real shock came from the cross-chain comparison (Pump.fun for SOL vs @four_meme_ for BSC): Number of tokens graduated (one-day sample) : 63 vs 748 (5) Market share (graduated tokens) : 14.8% vs 85.2% (6) Revenue share (daily cost) : 12.2% vs 87.8% (7) Some days, @four_meme_ accounts for 85-90% of successful memecoin deployments on both chains. This clearly shows where liquidity is currently flowing. The key to being a successful trader is this: liquidity always trumps brand loyalty. This is where traders need to wake up. Ask yourself: Are you loyal to a chain or to profits? Are you trading tokens, or are you trading liquidity flows? If more than 80% of the current successful memecoins are on BSC, don’t you think you should be there too? Cruel reality? If you can’t make the cross-chain transition, you are not a trader, but perhaps a bystander like me. Action Framework (how to plan for the future) For Memecoin Hunters: Track where capital flows into, not just where it ends up. @four_meme_ is currently in the main "zero to one" zone. Pump.fun is still available, but it is considered a secondary rotation pool rather than the default choice. For project parties: If you want organic liquidity, prioritize issuing on @four_meme_ . For investors/observers: This is a clear sign of a maturing market structure: Solana represents culture and innovation. BSC is the new battlefield for execution and trading volume. Additionally, @four_meme_ recently announced a $45 million Reload airdrop program, launched in conjunction with its ecosystem partners. Here are the details: Over 160,000 users who traded memecoin and incurred losses over the past week will be eligible. $BNB tokens will be randomly airdropped to these addresses. The result is a massive relief effort designed to rebuild community confidence and reward resilience. The first round of distribution will begin this week, and all airdrops will be completed by early November 2025. This alone should give you an idea of where liquidity will primarily flow in the coming weeks, so adjust accordingly.

BNB Chain China Projects Draw Big Capital

BNB Chain China Projects Draw Big Capital

The post BNB Chain China Projects Draw Big Capital appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It seems that Grachev anticipates the emergence of prominent protocols or development teams from China that are constructing their products directly on the BNB ecosystem China Renaissance, a big investment bank, announced plans to raise $600 million to build a public treasury vehicle centered on BNB, staking, DeFi, and tokenization on BNB Chain BNB ecosystem is pushing a big airdrop, distributing approximately $45 million in BNB to an estimated 160,000 memecoin traders Andrei Grachev, a high-profile figure in crypto and the head of DWF Labs (a company active in market making, liquidity, venture support, and ecosystem growth), is drawing attention to an up-and-coming Chinese blockchain project being built on the BNB Chain.  DWF Labs has already demonstrated a substantial commitment to Web3 initiatives originating from China and the Greater China region in the past. For instance, last year in July, the company officially started its $20 million Cloudbreak fund, dedicated to investing in cryptocurrency projects in the mentioned region. Grachev’s X post likely indicates that he anticipates the emergence of prominent protocols or development teams from China that are constructing their products directly on the BNB ecosystem, whether at the base layer, scaling solutions, or application level. Related: BNB Chain Meme Coin Frenzy Nets $516M in Profits for Over 93,000 Traders Institutional fuel: China Renaissance targets a $600 million BNB treasury A few days ago, China Renaissance, a big investment bank, announced plans to raise $600 million to build a public treasury vehicle centered on BNB, staking, DeFi, and tokenization on BNB Chain. This institutional commitment to BNB gives extra credibility to the idea that BNB is becoming a major hub. Consequently, high-quality projects native to the platform, particularly those with Chinese origins, are well-positioned to attract institutional investment.

Why Did Whales Buy Millions of Dollars of Bitcoin Hyper in a Week?

Why Did Whales Buy Millions of Dollars of Bitcoin Hyper in a Week?

The post Why Did Whales Buy Millions of Dollars of Bitcoin Hyper in a Week? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Whale wallets have been pouring millions into Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) over the past few weeks, helping push the project’s presale beyond $23.8M.  KEY POINTS: ➡️ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) has raised over $23.8M in its presale, attracting multiple six-figure whale buys. ➡️ The project builds a Layer-2 network for Bitcoin using Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM), enabling sub-second transactions and near-zero fees. ➡️ Unlike wrapped $BTC or sidechains, Hyper stays fully synced with Bitcoin’s base chain to remain decentralized and add scalability. ➡️ Staking rewards reach 49% APY, with early investors also gaining access to airdrops, launchpad opportunities, and governance rights. The project is beginning to turn heads in the crypto industry. On-chain trackers show several six-figure buys coming in, including buys of $379.9K, $274K, and $196.6K. It’s clear that strong conviction is growing as Bitcoin’s long-awaited evolution may finally be here. Bitcoin may be the most globally recognised symbol of crypto, but it struggles to do anything meaningful when it comes to payments, DeFi, or dApps. It’s more a store of value than an actual usable asset. Every cycle, congestion and fees remind users that speed simply isn’t part of Bitcoin’s DNA. Fortunately, that’s the void Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is looking to fill. The project is dubbed the first full Layer-2 built for Bitcoin using Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM). If it succeeds, the Hyper L2 will combine Bitcoin’s unmatched security with Solana’s lightning-fast performance. This will take Bitcoin from being ‘digital gold’ to becoming digital infrastructure. The Problem: Bitcoin’s Speed Limit Bitcoin may dominate in market cap, but its performance is shocking. According to data from Chainspect, Bitcoin’s real-time throughput averages at just 5.16 transactions per second (TPS). This is a staggering 99.39% lower than Solana’s 857.6 TPS. Source: Chainspect The gap widens further when you look at the theoretical capacity.…

Apex Fusion Launches REPDROP to Reward Genuine Ecosystem Contributors

Apex Fusion Launches REPDROP to Reward Genuine Ecosystem Contributors

The post Apex Fusion Launches REPDROP to Reward Genuine Ecosystem Contributors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The REPDROP signifies the conclusion of Apex Fusion’s first roadmap and the start of a new stage of ecosystem development and community involvement. Participants in the REPDROP experiment will come from the TG Mini App and the Reputation System, which together have onboarded over 55,000 people to the Apex ecosystem. The first REPDROP, a Reputation System Drop that recognizes sincere contributors and supporters of the Apex ecosystem, has been launched by Apex Fusion, the multi-layer blockchain ecosystem that unites the UTxO and EVM networks. The REPDROP signifies the conclusion of Apex Fusion’s first roadmap and the start of a new stage of ecosystem development and community involvement. The REPDROP explicitly links token distribution to confirmed activity inside Apex Fusion’s native Reputation System, in contrast to conventional airdrops that incentivize guesswork. Participants in the REPDROP experiment will come from the TG Mini App and the Reputation System, which together have onboarded over 55,000 people to the Apex ecosystem. “This event is more than a simple “thank you” note, it’s a proof of system,” said Vladimir Lelićanin, tech lead at HAL8, the partner team behind the system. “We’re demonstrating how reputation-based contribution models can become a sustainable way to recognise genuine ecosystem support while reinforcing compliance and long-term value.” Bridging the Ecosystem Apex Fusion reaches many milestones on its plan with this launch, including: Using the Skyline Bridge to connect Cardano and EVM’s liquidity. LayerZero integration provides omnichain connectivity to more than 150 networks. Performance with instant finality using the VECTOR chain, which is based on Cardano technology. With these accomplishments, Apex Fusion is positioned as one of the Web3 onboarding ecosystems that is most enterprise-ready and interoperable, onboarding new DeFi partners every week. Apex Fusion’s native asset, cAp3x tokens, will be distributed via the REPDROP on the Cardano mainnet. Users may then…

Robinhood Lists CZ Backed ASTER and XPL, Prices Jump

Robinhood Lists CZ Backed ASTER and XPL, Prices Jump

The post Robinhood Lists CZ Backed ASTER and XPL, Prices Jump appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto exchange Robinhood has listed Aster (ASTER) and Plasma (XPL) for spot trading, sparking a rise in their prices. This comes amid a crypto market downturn, which caused a drop to new lows. Robinhood Lists ASTER and XPL For Spot Trading Robinhood data shows that both tokens are now trading on the exchange and available for spot trading for its U.S. customers. The exchange also just listed VIRTUAL, the native token of Virtuals Protocol. The Robinhood listing quickly sparked a price rise for Aster and XPL. TradingView data shows that the former quickly surged above $1.3 from its intraday lows while XPL briefly broke above $0.5 before retracing. Source: TradingView; Aster Daily Chart XPL retraced below $0.5 as the Bitcoin price fell below $110,000, while ASTER also pulled back after rising to $1.36. However, this listing marks a positive for both tokens, boosting their visibility. ASTER becomes only the second decentralized exchange (DEX) token to be listed on Robinhood after Uniswap (UNI). On the other hand, XPL, which just went live last month, has now secured listings on almost all the top crypto exchanges. The timing also proves timely for both tokens. ASTER faced internal issues last week with the Aster airdrop allocation, though this has been rectified, with claims going live earlier this week. Meanwhile, XPL initially surged when Plasma’s mainnet beta went live, but faced significant selling pressure, dropping below $1, and has since continued to decline to new lows. Drop In DEX Volume Amid the Robinhood listing, DeFiLlama data shows that the Aster DEX has fallen behind in DEX volume, trailing Uniswap, Hyperliquid, and Pumpfun. The exchange has recorded $160 million in trading volume over the last 24 hours, ranking 18th among DEXs. However, the DEX has recorded a 7-day trading volume of $2 billion, which puts…
