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.

1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid

1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid

The post 1.3B NIGHT tokens claimed as Hoskinson midnight airdrop mid appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Charles Hoskinson denies insider hoarding rumors for Midnight’s NIGHT token airdrop. Over 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens claimed, with 69,000 wallets participating by August 19. Midnight partners with Fireblocks to support secure institutional adoption of NIGHT tokens. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shut down speculations that insiders are hoarding tokens in the Midnight network’s NIGHT token airdrop. The Glacier Drop, which started in early August, has already seen over 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens claimed, showing strong interest from the crypto community. Hoskinson’s response comes as Midnight teams up with Fireblocks to enhance secure adoption by big players. Midnight’s Airdrop Success and Partnerships The speculations started with a meme on X claiming most NIGHT tokens would end up back with Hoskinson, suggesting the airdrop wasn’t attracting enough people. Hoskinson called this misinformation and shared data showing over 69,000 wallets claimed 1.3 billion NIGHT tokens by August 19, about 5.5% of the total supply. He pointed out the airdrop is doing well, with 250 million tokens claimed in just the first 24 hours. Analysts say the 60 day claim window ensures fairness, and fewer early claims could mean bigger payouts. For those who join later, possibly leading to a rush near the deadline. Midnight, a privacy focused project tied to Cardano, also announced a partnership with Fireblocks, a platform for safely managing digital assets. This move helps institutions claim and use NIGHT tokens securely. Fireblocks supports Midnight’s goal of a private, secure blockchain future. The airdrop gives 50% of the 24 billion NIGHT tokens to Cardano’s ADA holders. 5% to XRP holders, and the rest to users on other blockchains like Bitcoin. Hoskinson’s focus on transparency aims to build trust as Midnight grows. Source: https://thenewscrypto.com/1-3b-night-tokens-claimed-as-hoskinson-highlights-midnight-airdrop-success/

Stablecoin Supply on Linea Hits All-time High amid Airdrop Speculation

Stablecoin Supply on Linea Hits All-time High amid Airdrop Speculation

The post Stablecoin Supply on Linea Hits All-time High amid Airdrop Speculation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The total supply of stablecoins issued on Linea jumped by over $50 million in two weeks as the network gears up for its native token launch. The stablecoin supply on Consensys-backed Linea, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, reached a new all-time high at $74.5 million last week as the network prepares for its token launch and airdrop. Stablecoins on Linea According to DefiLlama data, USDC makes up over 75% of the market at $56 million. The increase comes alongside higher trading activity on Linea-based decentralized exchange Etherex, the largest protocol on Linea with over $150 million in total value locked (TVL). Linea DEX Volume Daily DEX volumes also climbed to about $100 million during the stablecoin inflows, but fell back to an average of $10 million since then. Linea now ranks 34th among blockchains by stablecoin supply, placing ahead of StarkNet, Algorand, and Tezos, but still behind Blast, Polkadot, and Hedera. Behind the Numbers The growth comes as MetaMask, also backed by Consensys, prepares to launch a dollar-pegged stablecoin — called mUSD — on Ethereum and Linea, with support from Stripe’s Bridge for payment infrastructure. Earlier in August, Linea revealed details of its tokenomics. The network set the total supply at 72 billion LINEA tokens, with 9% allocated to early users through an airdrop fully unlocked at token generation. Around 22% of the supply is scheduled to circulate at launch. Consensys holds 15% of tokens under a five-year lock-up. A share of transaction fees will be directed toward token buybacks and burns, while a portion of ETH fees will also be removed from circulation.

‘WTF Is Going On?’ Fake Kanye West Coins Crash After Real YZY Token Launches

‘WTF Is Going On?’ Fake Kanye West Coins Crash After Real YZY Token Launches

The post ‘WTF Is Going On?’ Fake Kanye West Coins Crash After Real YZY Token Launches appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Ye, formerly Kanye West, launched an official meme coin on Tuesday, prompting other tokens that some investors believed were tied to the musician to crash and burn. Yeezy Coin and Swasticoin were launched approximately six months ago, with members of both communities believing they were part of a performance art piece or an alternate reality game. Now, investors are reckoning with increasingly worthless coins supported by communities that trade in antisemitism. Meme coins created to play on purported associations with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, have crashed after the rapper launched his own official Solana coin on Wednesday. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been flirting with crypto for months, with his interest spawning two notable meme coin communities that adamantly believed they were part of a masterful performance art piece—or an alternate reality game.  But holders of Yeezy Coin and Swasticoin found their hopes dashed after the launch of Ye’s YZY Money this week. As rumors intensified on Tuesday that Ye was about to release his official meme coin, both tokens pumped hard. With Ye’s move apparently confirming that neither previous token was part of his plan, Yeezy Coin has plummeted 88% from Tuesday’s high while Swasticoin is down nearly 78% from its Wednesday high, according to DEX Screener. “Yo WTF is going on? Are we still alive?” one user in the 4NBT Yeezy Coin Telegram group said (Yeezy Coin is also referred to as “4NBT,” which is part of the coin’s contract address). “They emotionally harvested us for six months. Bye,” another person posted, moments after Ye posted the official YZY contract address.  The 4NBT community has been surveying Ye’s social media antics with a fine-tooth comb for half a year, believing that the musician has been dropping hints that he would soon endorse…

New Crypto Assets Group Backed By Trump Gets Green Light

New Crypto Assets Group Backed By Trump Gets Green Light

The Securities and Exchange Commission is moving in a different direction on crypto. Related Reading: Cardano Climbs To 8th, Pushing Dogecoin And TRON Down The Ranks Chair Paul Atkins confirmed that the agency will launch the President’s Digital Assets Group, a step he says will open a new chapter in US regulation. White House Roadmap According to Atkins, the first objective of the new group will be to carry out recommendations from the President’s Digital Asset Markets Working Group. His remarks came during the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, where he introduced what he called “Project Crypto” and promised to move away from regulation by enforcement. I had a great conversation with @TeresaGoody at @SALTConference’s Wyoming Blockchain Symposium today about my priorities as @SECgov chairman, including Project Crypto and making IPOs great again. It’s a new day at the SEC. Thread 🧵⬇️ pic.twitter.com/I7UIrjQFpT — Paul Atkins (@SECPaulSAtkins) August 19, 2025  Atkins stated the SEC will not rely on old methods. Instead, the commission intends to create rules that prevent abuse but remain flexible enough for technology’s rapid development. Atkins said the effort is part of US President Donald Trump’s extensive push for a more transparent policy on digital assets. Investor Protection And Innovation Atkins praised the administration for supporting a plan that he says balances investor protection with space for innovation. He added that cooperation with Congress, the White House, and other agencies will help keep US policy consistent and aligned with international standards. This is a clear contrast to the approach of his predecessor, Gary Gensler, who frequently said most tokens were securities under existing rules. Critics of Gensler’s stance argued it drove innovation overseas and created a climate of uncertainty. Atkins rejected that argument, saying very few tokens meet the definition of securities. The way tokens are packaged, marketed, and sold matters more, he explained. Flexible Rules For Developers The shift could make it easier for crypto projects to operate in the US without immediately being treated as securities. Reports show that the President’s DAWG released a roadmap in July urging regulators to introduce rules that encourage businesses while maintaining investor safeguards. Atkins said the SEC will stick closely to that roadmap. Related Reading: Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce Exemptions & Transparency He explained that the commission will provide exemptions, safe harbors, and new disclosure standards tailored for crypto companies. That would replace the “one-size-fits-all” system that has frustrated the industry for years. Activities such as ICOs, airdrops, network rewards, and building decentralized apps may be treated more flexibly under this plan. Atkins clarified that the new approach does not mean a free-for-all, but rather a structure designed to support responsible growth. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
