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.

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…

Whales Dump PEPE as Investors Move Into Pepenode Presale

Whales Dump PEPE as Investors Move Into Pepenode Presale

The post Whales Dump PEPE as Investors Move Into Pepenode Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pepe coin, one of the most recognizable meme coins in the cryptocurrency space, is currently navigating a difficult phase marked by sharp declines and shaken investor confidence. Following the recent liquidation events across the broader market, the token’s momentum has weakened considerably. Once boasting a market capitalization above $11 billion, it has now fallen to around $3 billion. This sharp drop was mainly fueled by large holders and smart money investors trimming their positions, reportedly offloading more than 1.5 trillion $PEPE tokens between September 26 and last Friday, a clear indication that they were anticipating a price downturn. Top 100 Pepe whale holdings over the past month. Source – Nansen Such heavy selling pressure has fueled uncertainty, prompting retail investors to de-risk and seek safety amid volatile market conditions. With major meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also posting weekly losses, it’s clear that the entire meme coin sector is enduring a widespread cooldown rather than an isolated correction. Historical data shows that Pepe has experienced major rallies during specific “meme seasons,” such as in February and December of 2024, where it recorded 10x and 3x surges respectively. However, the current market lacks the same euphoric retail participation and liquidity inflows that previously drove those gains. This article discusses the Pepe price prediction and Pepenode presale insights shared by crypto analyst and trader Jacob Crypto Bury, whose full analysis is available in the video below or on his YouTube channel. Pepe Price Prediction From a technical standpoint, Pepe coin’s price structure reflects a market struggling to regain momentum. The token has declined over 34% in the past month, with analysts observing consistent rejection around key resistance zones, particularly near the $0.00000120 level. If the price continues to fail in holding this region, further downside pressure could emerge, leading to…
