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.

Protect Your Crypto Assets Now

The post Protect Your Crypto Assets Now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the Monad airdrop face a serious security threat that could compromise their digital assets. Recent warnings from blockchain security experts suggest the official claim page may have been compromised, putting users’ funds at risk. What’s Happening with the Monad Airdrop? Cos, founder of renowned blockchain security firm SlowMist, has issued an urgent warning about potential security breaches affecting the Monad airdrop claim process. Multiple users report that wallet addresses displayed on the official claim page differ from those they originally registered. This discrepancy suggests a possible website compromise where hackers may have altered destination addresses to redirect funds. The security expert noted that a white-hat hacker previously identified similar vulnerabilities, indicating this exploit method isn’t new to the crypto space. How Can You Protect Your Assets? While confirmation of active exploitation remains pending, extreme caution is essential during any Monad airdrop application. Here are critical safety measures: Double-check every wallet address before confirming transactions Verify website URLs to ensure you’re on the legitimate platform Use hardware wallets for additional security layers Monitor official channels for security updates Avoid rushing the claim process despite excitement Why Are Airdrops Particularly Vulnerable? Airdrops create perfect conditions for scammers because they generate significant user excitement and involve mass transactions. The Monad airdrop situation highlights how hackers exploit this enthusiasm to bypass security measures. Moreover, the technical nature of cryptocurrency transactions means once funds transfer to wrong addresses, recovery becomes nearly impossible. This makes prevention absolutely crucial for protecting your investments. What Should You Do Immediately? If you plan to participate in the Monad airdrop, take these proactive steps immediately. First, pause any claim attempts until security concerns resolve. Second, monitor official Monad communication channels for updates. Third, consider using alternative verification methods beyond the primary claim page. Finally, report any…

Hyperliquid prepares for $316 mln unlock – Investors split on price reaction

Hyperliquid prepares for $316 mln unlock – Investors split on price reaction

The post Hyperliquid prepares for $316 mln unlock – Investors split on price reaction appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways  Why did the team unstake 10M tokens?  It’s intended for the token unlock scheduled for the 29th of November.  What are the market expectations?  Mixed. Large players expect a 10% dip to $28, while other analysts projected a rebound at $30.  The team behind Hyperliquid has reportedly unstaked $316 million worth of HYPE ahead of the token unlock scheduled for the 29th of November.  According to a pseudonymous analyst, Avseenko, most players were either farming HYPE through its DeFi ecosystem or shorting it. However, he cautioned that there was no strong bidding from the spot markets.  Tokenomist data showed that about 3.6% of HYPE circulation, or 10 million HYPE, will be unlocked over the weekend to support the founders and team.  It’s one of the major unlocks to be tracked this week, given the project’s success and the FUD it has caused in the past.  Source: Tokenomist  In the next 24 months, Hyperliquid [HYPE] will have monthly unlocks. Even at the current pace of buyback, crypto investor Arthur Hayes warned that it could leave over $400 million of supply overhang, outweighing the HYPE value.   Assessing HYPE market positioning As of writing, HYPE traded at $31.4, down by 47% from its prior all-time high of $59.4. On the incoming unlock, the market was pricing a potential 10% downside move to $28.  Source: Laevitas According to Options data, the $28 level had the highest volume of put activity (hedging against downside moves, red bar).  Put differently, large funds and players expected HYPE not to drop below $28 over the weekend after the unlock.  On the price charts, the level was a breakout point (white zone) during HYPE’s explosive recovery early this year. Perhaps market participants expected it to act as support and potentially trigger a rebound.  Source: HYPE/USDT, TradingView  That…

Irys: IRYS token airdrop applications will begin today at 20:00. Irys, a programmable data chain platform, announced on the Galxe platform that the IRYS token airdrop application link is now live. The application period is from 20:00 Beijing time on November 25th to 20:00 on December 25th, with a snapshot time of November 11th. Furthermore, Irys stated that the top 10,000 participants on Galxe will receive the airdrop; all Genesis NFT holders who have previously registered for the airdrop are eligible. Previously, Irys announced the IRYS token economics: 20% initial circulating supply, with 8% allocated to the airdrop and future incentives. The 40.71 million TRX previously purchased by WLFI have been transferred to HTX in the past 10 hours. According to on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa, the 40.71 million TRX previously purchased by WLFI has been deposited into HTX in the past 10 hours, with the purpose unknown. Ten months ago, WLFI purchased $40.17 million worth of TRX at an average price of $0.2415, totaling $9.85 million. Yesterday, WLFI Strategic Reserve conducted a small test transfer of 147 TRX to address 0x6A2...C99c9, which was subsequently deposited into HTX. Ten hours ago, all 40.68 million TRX were transferred and deposited into HTX in batches, worth $11.23 million. WLFI previously purchased a basket of tokens including LINK/AAVE/ENA/MOVE/ONDO, which were also deposited into Coinbase, claiming it was "not a sale, but a reallocation of assets for daily business purposes." However, this is the first time they have deposited into HTX. Vitalik comments on the SitusAMC attack: Privacy is not an option, but a "hygiene habit". According to Decrypt, customer data from major U.S. banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley may have been leaked due to a cyberattack on mortgage technology provider SitusAMC. The company confirmed on Saturday that a threat actor stole data related to multiple large financial institutions, including accounting records, legal agreements, and some customer data. The scope, nature, and extent of the leak are still under investigation. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin commented, "Privacy is not a feature, but a hygiene practice." His response echoes the point emphasized throughout the year that privacy should be considered a fundamental requirement of digital systems, not an add-on feature. SlowMist: Users who haven't received their Monad airdrops are advised to check if the URL linked to their claim page has been changed by hackers. Yu Xian, founder of SlowMist, posted that some users may not have received their Monad airdrops. He suggested checking if the wallet address linked to the airdrop claim page was the intended address. If not, they might have encountered a similar issue to user @Onefly: their wallet address was linked to a hacker's address, and the airdrop was subsequently sent to the hacker's address. He also mentioned that a white-hat hacker had previously shared a vulnerability with him. This vulnerability has a prerequisite: if someone hijacks a user's session on the Monad airdrop claim page, they can change the claiming wallet address without further confirmation. He suggested that Monad investigate @Onefly's issue, such as by checking the wallet address change logs. Multicoin Capital purchased $10.94 million worth of AAVE tokens today. According to on-chain analyst Ember, Multicoin Capital continued to purchase AAVE today through Galaxy Digital.

TD Cowen: Strategy's Bitcoin premium is nearing the lows of the "crypto winter," but we maintain our buy rating. According to The Block, a recent report by TD Cowen indicates that Strategy's Bitcoin premium continues to decline and is currently "approaching the lows of the 2021-2022 'crypto winter'." The report includes two updated premium charts (one looking back to 2020 and the other covering the last 12 months), showing that Strategy did not issue new shares or purchase new Bitcoin through an market offering (ATM) yesterday, a move that has drawn renewed attention to its current premium level. The charts show that the current premium has fallen significantly from its peak at the end of last year and is gradually compressing to levels seen in late 2021 and early 2022. Despite this, TD Cowen maintains a bullish stance on MSTR, keeping its buy rating and $535 price target (approximately 200% higher than Strategy's current share price of around $180), believing that "achieving this target within a year is reasonably achievable." The report states, "We have not adjusted our base Bitcoin price forecast. We expect Strategy to hold 815,000 Bitcoins by the end of fiscal year 2027, estimating its holdings value to exceed $185 billion by December 2027, or an intrinsic value of approximately $540 per share. The target price of $535 reflects zero premium to the intrinsic value per share in December 2027." The report also emphasizes that the risk of Strategy being removed from the MSCI index has already put downward pressure on its share price, and it anticipates the company will be removed from the index and continue to face pressure under the shadow of MSCI inclusion. A Bitcoin OG whale has deposited another 10 million USDC into HyperLiquid and leveraged it 5x to go long on ETH. According to Onchain Lens monitoring, a Bitcoin OG whale (1011 short) has deposited another 10 million USDC into HyperLiquid and opened a 5x leveraged long position in ETH.

Japan's Financial Services Agency is planning new regulations requiring cryptocurrency exchanges to establish liability reserves. According to Cryptobriefing, citing Nikkei, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) will require cryptocurrency exchanges to establish liability reserves to protect customers from potential security vulnerabilities and operational risks. As the country's main financial regulator, the FSA is pushing forward this reserve requirement to bring virtual currencies into a regulatory framework closer to that of traditional securities and to promote a safer market environment. The new regulations emphasize ensuring that exchanges are able to cover operational risks and safeguard customer funds. With these regulatory adjustments, Japanese asset management institutions are actively exploring new cryptocurrency investment products, and these changes are expected to expand trading services in the digital asset sector and stimulate market competition. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a no-action letter to Fuse Energy regarding the ENERGY token. Fuse Energy posted on the X platform that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a No-Action Letter today regarding its Energy Dollar (ENERGY) token. ENERGY is a native utility token of The Energy Network, an energy network built on the Solana blockchain. The project white paper, containing full details, was released today. In its announcement, the SEC stated: “Based on the facts stated, if Fuse had issued and sold the token in the manner and circumstances described in your legal counsel’s opinion without registering it under Section 5 of the Securities Act and without registering it as an equity security under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, the Division would not recommend enforcement action to the SEC. This position is based on the statements made to the Division in your legal counsel’s opinion. Any different facts or circumstances could lead the Division to a different conclusion. Furthermore, this response only states the Division’s position regarding enforcement action and does not constitute any legal conclusion on the matters stated.” Brevan Howard has reportedly received a $25 million "refund right" on his investment in Berachain. According to The Block, Unchained columnist Jack Kubinec revealed in his latest report that Brevan Howard's venture capital investment in Berachain was virtually "risk-free." Documents released this Monday show that Berachain granted Brevan's crypto investment subsidiary, Nova Digital, a special right—a one-year refund guarantee on its $25 million Series B funding round. This means that although Brevan co-led a $69 million funding round for Berachain at a $1.5 billion valuation, it can still recover its entire investment after the token generation event on February 6th. This right is reportedly valid until February 6th, 2026. Kubinec stated in the report: "This refund clause completely protects Brevan's fund principal from risk, which is very different from traditional venture capital models. If Berachain's BERA token performs well, the fund will obtain excess returns; if the token performs poorly, the fund can exercise its refund right." Currently, the BERA token is trading at approximately $1, a drop of about 67% from Brevan's investment cost of $3. According to The Block data platform, the token's fully diluted valuation is currently $536.7 million. The Series B funding round was led by Framework Ventures, with participation from Arrington Capital, Hack VC, Polychain, and Tribe Capital. Berachain also completed a $42 million Series A funding round in 2023. It is currently unclear whether other investors also have a refund right. Exodus will acquire W3C Corp, the parent company of Baanx and Monavate, for $175 million. According to CoinDesk, crypto wallet company Exodus Movement (NYSE American: EXOD) is acquiring W3C Corp, the parent company of cryptocurrency card and payment companies Baanx and Monavate, for $175 million. The deal is funded by the company's existing cash and financing provided by Galaxy Digital, using Exodus's Bitcoin holdings as collateral. Baanx and Monavate have been working with institutions such as Visa, Mastercard, and MetaMask to develop cryptocurrency cards and user-controlled Web3 payment services. Overall, this transaction will make Exodus one of the few self-custody wallet providers capable of controlling the entire payment experience from wallet to card. Exodus stated that it will take over the underlying card and payment technology stack and gain the ability to issue payment cards through networks such as Visa, Mastercard, and Discover, while expanding its operations to the US, UK, and EU to support new products and partnerships. Exodus also stated that this infrastructure is expected to enhance the capabilities of enterprise clients whose customers transact through Exodus's XO Swap application. The transaction is subject to regular adjustments and approval processes and is expected to be completed in 2026. The US September PCE report has been rescheduled to December 5th, and the preliminary Q3 GDP report has been cancelled. According to Jinshi News, information from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) shows the following data release schedules affected by the U.S. government shutdown: ① The preliminary GDP estimate for the third quarter of 2025 has been cancelled; it was originally scheduled for release on October 30. ② The September PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) and Personal Income reports will be released on December 5 at 10:00 AM (Beijing time), originally scheduled for October 31. Federal Reserve Bank of Canada President Tom Daly expressed support for a December rate cut, subsequently raising the probability of a December rate cut to 81%. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal cited by Jinshi, San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly, a 2027 FOMC voting member, stated that she supports a rate cut next month because she believes the possibility of a sudden deterioration in the labor market is greater and more difficult to control than a sudden surge in inflation. In an interview on Monday, she said, "I'm not confident we can get ahead in the labor market. The labor market is fragile enough right now, and the risk lies in non-linear changes." She indicated that the risk of an inflationary surge is lower by comparison because tariff-driven cost increases are much more moderate than expected earlier this year. Daly's views are noteworthy, as although she does not have a vote on monetary policy this year, she rarely disagrees with Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in public. At the December 9-10 meeting, Daly is likely to play a key role in resolving the disagreement within the interest rate-setting committee regarding whether to cut rates or pause rate hikes. Following Daly's remarks, CME's FedWatch tool showed an 81% probability of a 25 basis point rate cut in December (compared to 69.4% yesterday), and a 19% probability of keeping rates unchanged. The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by a cumulative 25 basis points by January next year is 65.2%, the probability of keeping interest rates unchanged is 14.1%, and the probability of cutting interest rates by a cumulative 50 basis points is 20.6%. Machi deposited approximately 499,700 USDC into HyperLiquid to open long positions in ETH and HYPE.

SWC previously invested over $130 million in 2024 to help over 250 pro-crypto candidates win elections and plans to continue its influence. Federal Reserve Governor Waller: I advocate for a rate cut in December. Federal Reserve Governor Waller: My focus is on the labor market, and I advocate for a rate cut in December. He stated that most private sector data indicates a weak job market. Since the Fed's last meeting, existing data shows little change, and inflation is not a major issue. January will be challenging, with a large amount of data to be released to determine whether another rate cut is needed; we need to assess each meeting individually. If the data shows a rebound, we can be more cautious. I still don't believe the labor market will turn around in the coming weeks. September employment data may be revised downwards; a concentrated release of data is not a good sign. There are no signs that companies are about to launch a hiring spree. Inflation has risen, but I think it will begin to decline. The inflation rate, excluding tariffs, is about 2.4% or 2.5%. He also mentioned that he spoke with Treasury Secretary Bessant about 10 days ago, and the meeting went very well.

BlackRock's IBIT fund saw redemptions of $2.2 billion, accounting for 60% of the total, potentially marking its worst monthly performance since its inception. This capital outflow exacerbated downward pressure on Bitcoin, with the price briefly falling to $80,553. Citi Research estimates that every $1 billion in redemptions will drag down the (spot) price by approximately 3.4%, and vice versa. CoinShares: Digital asset investment products saw a net outflow of $1.94 billion last week.

The European Central Bank has warned of the risks of cross-border regulatory arbitrage involving stablecoins and called for a unified regulatory framework globally. The European Central Bank's (ECB) Financial Stability Review preview, released today (with the full report due on Wednesday), shows that as of November 2025, the total market capitalization of stablecoins has exceeded $280 billion, representing approximately 8% of the entire crypto market. USDT and USDC together account for nearly 90% of this, and their reserve assets are equivalent to those of the world's top 20 money market funds. The ECB report points out that widespread adoption of stablecoins could lead to households converting some of their bank deposits into stablecoins, weakening banks' retail funding sources and increasing funding volatility. While MiCAR has prohibited European issuers from paying interest to curb such transfers, banks are still calling for similar restrictions in the United States. Furthermore, the rapid growth of stablecoins and their connection to the banking system could trigger concentrated capital outflows during crises. The report emphasizes the risks of cross-border "multi-issuance mechanisms," warning that EU issuers may struggle to meet global redemption requests, calling for pre-access safeguards, and promoting global regulatory alignment.

Monad’s $105 Million Airdrop Underwhelms Speculators as Token Debuts Near Sale Price

Monad’s $105 Million Airdrop Underwhelms Speculators as Token Debuts Near Sale Price

The post Monad’s $105 Million Airdrop Underwhelms Speculators as Token Debuts Near Sale Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief A long-awaited airdrop of MON tokens was completed on Monday. Monad’s airdrop was valued around $105 million. The token’s price was close to that of a recently conducted public offering. Monad completed its long-awaited airdrop of MON tokens on Monday, giving recipients access to millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency alongside its blockchain’s debut. Earlier this month, the much-hyped competitor to Ethereum and Solana saw around 76,000 wallets claim MON for free, but people couldn’t touch their holdings immediately because the network hadn’t yet launched. At the time, Monad said 3.33 billion MON tokens were claimed by the network’s users, builders, and members of Monad’s community, among others.
