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.

Morning Minute: The CFTC Just Approved US Spot Crypto Trading

The post Morning Minute: The CFTC Just Approved US Spot Crypto Trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Morning Minute is a daily newsletter written by Tyler Warner.

Today’s top news: Crypto majors dip 2-4% overnight; BTC at $91,300 Larry Fink says sovereign wealth funds are buying the BTC dip CFTC approves spot crypto trading in US, starting with Bitnomial Jack Maller’s Twenty One approved to list on NYSE, with $4B in BTC MetaMask integrates Polymarket in wallet; Kalshi partners with CNBC; Myriad introduces Pools 🏛️ The CFTC Just Approved U.S. Spot Crypto Trading Barriers keep falling down, and institutional adoption is here. 📌 What Happened The CFTC has formally approved spot crypto trading on CFTC-regulated exchanges, a first in the U.S. Newly approved rules allow CFTC-registered exchanges to list spot Bitcoin and Ethereum markets. And Bitnomial is expected to be the first venue to launch under the new framework. Until now, spot crypto trading in the U.S. has lived in a regulatory gray zone. It was supervised indirectly but never explicitly approved. This is the first time that the CFTC has authorized a federally regulated spot market. And it comes in a hallmark week that included Vanguard and Charles Schwab opening their doors to spot crypto ETF trading. 🗣️ What Are They Saying “For the first time ever, spot crypto can trade on CFTC-registered exchanges that have been the gold standard for nearly a hundred years, with the customer protections and market integrity that Americans deserve.” – CFTC Chair Caroline Pham “For the first time ever, spot crypto can trade on CFTC-registered exchanges that have been the gold standard for nearly a hundred years”… IMO, basically paves way for every major brokerage to offer spot crypto trading & feel comfortable from a regulatory perspective.

Perpetual DEX trading surpassed $1 trillion in November, on-chain data shows

Perpetual DEX trading surpassed $1 trillion in November, on-chain data shows

The post Perpetual DEX trading surpassed $1 trillion in November, on-chain data shows appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The volume of perpetual contracts traded on DEXs surged above $1 trillion in November, despite the uncertainties prevailing in the crypto market that month. November marked the second consecutive month with $1 trillion in perpetual trading volume after October’s $1.37 trillion. Perpetual contracts are becoming increasingly popular on decentralized exchanges, according to on-chain data. Platforms such as Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Aster recorded notable volume in October and November compared to preceding months. November perpetual trading volume on DEXs exceeds $1 trillion Source: DefiLlama. Perpetual Trading Volume on Decentralized Exchanges Data from DefiLlama, an open-source analytics platform for decentralized finance (DeFi), shows that November marked the second consecutive month with $1.317 trillion in trading volume for perpetual contracts. The figure follows a surge in trading activity in October, which sent the volume to a new all-time high, surpassing $1 trillion. The volume of perpetual contracts that DEXs processed in October stood at $1.37 trillion, surpassing $759 billion recorded in August and $564.622 million in July. The significant rise in volume indicates growing confidence among investors in decentralized on-chain platforms. The notable performance of newer DEX protocols, such as Lighter and Aster, shows that traders are moving away from centralized exchanges.  The data shows that Lighter, a DEX based on the Ethereum network, leads the pack with a total trading volume of $290.605 billion recorded in the last 30 days and $8.882 billion in the last 24 hours. The protocol has claimed the top spot after falling second to Hyperliquid in October, with a trading volume of $265.4 billion. Hyperliquid ranked first in October with a trading volume of $317.6 billion.  Aster has also displaced Hyperliquid, currently claiming the second spot with a trading volume exceeding $248 billion in the last 30 days and $7.414 billion in the last 24 hours.

Solana’s HumidiFi Prepares New Token Sale After Bot Network Captures Entire WET Supply

Solana’s HumidiFi Prepares New Token Sale After Bot Network Captures Entire WET Supply

HumidiFi plans a fresh token sale after a coordinated bot attack captured the entire WET supply during its public launch. The team described the incident as a major setback for early supporters, who expected a fair distribution after months of community growth. The project built momentum from DeFi trading activity on Solana, yet the event revealed critical vulnerabilities in the initial sale process. Consequently, HumidiFi moved quickly to design a new plan that protects legitimate participants and restores confidence across its user base.How the Snipe HappenedAccording to the team, the bot farm deployed thousands of funded wallets. Each wallet prepared an instruction to push funds into the DTF contract the moment the sale opened. Additionally, the setup allowed multiple instructions to execute within a single transaction bundle. Each bundle triggered four transactions, and each transaction activated six instructions. Consequently, every bundle pushed about 24,000 USDC into the sale and captured roughly 350,000 WET. Many bundles were sent at once, overwhelming the sale window and leaving genuine users without a chance to participate.HumidiFi said the event exposed how sophisticated automation can exploit public sale designs. The team described the attack as a coordinated rush that drained the entire allocation before real users could react. Moreover, the moment intensified calls across Solana’s DeFi community for smarter contract structures that defend distribution fairness.New Token, New Contract, New ApproachHumidiFi will now issue a new token. Supporters from the Wetlist and JUP staking groups will receive a pro-rata airdrop. The sniper wallets will not receive any allocation. Besides replacing the token, the team said it rebuilt the DTF contract with community protection as the priority. Temporal developers contributed to the redesign, and Osec completed an audit.The project plans to reopen the public sale on Monday. The team expects the improved contract to prevent the same exploit. Additionally, HumidiFi aims to reassure its early community that their role remains central. The group also said it wants to demonstrate that DeFi 2.0 requires fairer access paths rather than faster bots.
