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.

Coinbase launches ETH-secured loans through Morpho, allowing users to borrow up to $1 million. According to The Block, Coinbase has expanded its on-chain lending product to support Ethereum as collateral, allowing eligible customers to borrow up to 1 million USDC without selling their cryptocurrency. These loans are powered by the Morpho lending protocol on the Base chain, with Coinbase providing the user interface. ETH is the first of several collateral assets Coinbase plans to support, aiming to serve long-term holders seeking liquidity for down payments or debt refinancing while avoiding tax triggers. Initially, ETH-collateralized loans will use WETH as collateral, with later support for pledged ETH, which will be converted to cbETH as the underlying collateral token. The service is coming soon. There is no fixed repayment schedule; borrowers can avoid liquidation by maintaining a healthy loan-to-value (LTV) ratio, up to 75% of their LTV. Liquidation will be triggered when the LTV reaches 86%, the same ratio as for BTC-collateralized products. Loan interest rates are determined by supply and demand on Morpho, and the loan proceeds cannot be traded on the Coinbase platform. The service is currently available to verified users in the United States (excluding New York State), with plans to expand to international users in the future.

Ray Dalio: Bitcoin accounts for about 1% of my personal investment portfolio, and I believe it is unlikely to become a reserve currency for major countries. According to *Walter Bloomberg, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio stated in an interview with CNBC: "I have long held a small amount of Bitcoin, about 1% of my portfolio, and it has always been that way. I have repeatedly expressed the same view about Bitcoin. I think the problem with Bitcoin is that it cannot become a reserve currency for major countries because it can be tracked, and theoretically, quantum computing could potentially control or crack it, and things like that." US nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly surged by 119,000 in September, making the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision more complex. According to Jinshi News, the UK financial commentary noted that the unexpected rebound in the US labor market in September, as reported by the US September non-farm payrolls report, will further complicate the Federal Reserve's decision on whether to cut interest rates next month. The report, released Thursday, showed an increase of 119,000 non-farm payroll jobs in September, exceeding not only the 50,000 predicted by economists surveyed by institutions but also significantly higher than the revised 22,000 in August. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4% from 4.3% in August, a new high since 2021. This report is the first economic health indicator released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics since the record-breaking shutdown of the US federal government led to a halt in official data releases. The unexpectedly positive data will reinforce the stance of hawkish members of the Federal Open Market Committee, who have consistently warned the Fed against cutting rates too quickly. Following the data release, US Treasury yields and the dollar index both fell. Despite President Trump's long-term pressure on the Fed to cut rates, a deep division has emerged within the central bank: one faction advocates for continued rate cuts at the December meeting to support the labor market, while the other is concerned about the potential for increased inflation risks. The government shutdown has exacerbated the Federal Reserve's decision-making difficulties—the release of regular economic reports has been interrupted, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Wednesday that due to the stagnation of data collection during the shutdown, it will no longer release a separate October employment report, with some data being combined into the November report. The interest rate market is still pricing in a Fed rate cut in December. According to Jinshi News, the interest rate swap market indicates that a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve is unlikely. Following the release of the latest economic data, traders increased their bets on a Fed rate cut, but still expect the Fed to skip December. The combined U.S. nonfarm payrolls figure for July and August was revised down by 33,000. According to Jinshi News, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its July non-farm payrolls figure down by 7,000 to 72,000 from +79,000; and its August non-farm payrolls figure down by 26,000 to -4,000 from +22,000. The revised figures show that the combined job gains for July and August were 33,000 lower than before the revisions. The number of Americans filing for initial jobless claims in the week ending November 15 was 220,000, compared to an expected 230,000. According to Jinshi News, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending November 15 was 220,000, compared to an expected 230,000. The US unemployment rate was 4.4% in September, below the expected 4.30%. According to Jinshi News, the US unemployment rate in September was 4.4%, compared to an expected 4.30% and a previous reading of 4.30%.

The SFC noted that information about these products can be accessed by the Hong Kong public through their respective websites, social media accounts, and related mobile applications. Analysis: BitMine's $3.7 billion unrealized loss and its shrinking mNAV are threatening DAT's business model. According to a report by Cointelegraph, a research report released by 10x Research on Thursday shows that BitMine, the world's largest corporate Ethereum holder, is currently losing $1,000 per ETH relative to its average cost, with its total Ethereum holdings accumulating a floating loss of $3.7 billion. The report states that the declining net asset value (NAV) of corporate crypto treasuries makes it difficult to attract new retail investors, while many existing shareholders are effectively "trapped" unless they sell at a significantly lower price. When the premium inevitably falls to zero, investors find themselves trapped in this structure, unable to exit without suffering substantial losses. Unlike ETFs, digital asset treasuries (DATs) "are layered with complex, opaque, and often hedge fund-like fee structures that subtly erode returns." According to Bitminetracker data, BitMine's basic mNAV is 0.77, and its diluted mNAV is 0.92. BitMine holds approximately 3.56 million ETH, worth about $10.7 billion, representing 2.94% of the total Ethereum supply. The company's average cost basis is $4,051 per ETH. Other digital asset treasury companies also saw significant declines in their mNAV, including Strategy, Bitmine, Metaplanet, Sharplink Gaming, Upexi, and DeFi Development Corp. GAIB launches official buyback program in response to external institutions selling tokens ahead of schedule. GAIB, an AI and robotics infrastructure economic layer project, issued an official statement today regarding the premature sale of tokens by external institutions on the day of TGE, and announced the launch of an official GAIB buyback program. In the statement, GAIB emphasized that the approximately five wallets identified by the community, each selling approximately 1 million GAIB tokens, were not affiliated with the team, advisors, or any internal entity. All tokens belonging to the team and core contributors are currently locked, and the GAIB team has not sold any tokens. An internal investigation revealed that these wallets belonged to external market institutions in multiple regions. According to their pre-TGE cooperation agreements, the tokens they received were only permitted for community activity incentives after launch and were explicitly prohibited from being sold prematurely. However, some institutions violated the agreement by selling tokens without authorization on the day of TGE, constituting a serious breach of contract. GAIB has formally notified the relevant institutions, demanding a full buyback of all sold GAIB tokens, on-chain buyback certificates, and acceptance of all consequences of the breach. However, the relevant institutions have not provided a clear response. GAIB will immediately launch an official buyback program, with the team directly repurchasing the improperly sold tokens on the market to ensure that the community's interests are not affected by any third-party actions. In its statement, GAIB said, "We will not leave the community to bear any consequences. The buyback program is our commitment to responsibility and transparency." GAIB will release an update to the community as soon as it obtains further details on the buyback implementation. Bitcoin Core passed its first third-party security audit and no serious vulnerabilities were found. According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Core has passed its first third-party security audit, confirming that the software securing the Bitcoin network is highly mature and that no serious vulnerabilities were found. The audit was conducted by the French security firm Quarkslab, commissioned by the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund (OSTIF) and implemented on behalf of Brink, the Bitcoin Core development funding organization. During the 104-day audit period from May to September, auditors evaluated the most sensitive components of the project, focusing particularly on the P2P layer and block verification logic. The report notes that despite the large size of Bitcoin Core's codebase, containing over 200,000 lines of C++ code and more than 1,200 deployed test cases, the auditors assessed it as "the most mature and well-tested." The team found no high-severity or medium-severity vulnerabilities, only two low-severity issues, and a series of improvement suggestions primarily related to fuzzing tools and test coverage. These findings did not have any impact on the consensus mechanism, denial-of-service capabilities, or transaction verification. Metaplanet will issue $150 million in Class B perpetual preferred stock to increase its Bitcoin holdings. According to official sources, Japanese listed company Metaplanet has announced the issuance of $150 million worth of Class B perpetual preferred stock, "MERCURY."

GoPlus: Users who have received the DMT airdrop should promptly revoke authorization or transfer their assets to a secure wallet. GoPlus has issued a security alert: Users who claimed the DMT token airdrop from @dexmaxai are urged to immediately revoke authorization or transfer their assets to a secure wallet. Multiple users have reported being tricked into authorizing other tokens when claiming the DMT airdrop today, resulting in the theft of assets from thousands of users and the cross-chain transfer of over $130,000. The official @dexmaxai Twitter account and website have removed RUG. Investigations revealed that attackers tricked users into signing again when claiming the airdrop, thus obtaining authorization and subsequently transferring the authorized assets. After stealing the funds, the attackers used a cross-chain bridge to transfer the assets to ETH. Most of the stolen funds have flowed into HitBTC, with a small portion still on-chain. Swiss precious metals giant MKS PAMP plans to relaunch its gold token project. According to Bloomberg, Swiss precious metals giant MKS PAMP SA is relaunching its gold token offering six years after a failed initial attempt, aiming to capitalize on growing market interest in digital physical gold. MKS PAMP has acquired Gold Token SA to revive its digital gold project. MKS PAMP was one of the initial players in the 2019 launch of the DGLD token, a collaboration that also included CoinShares International Ltd. MKS PAMP CEO James Emmett stated that the initial launch was "premature," and the token remained largely dormant for many years afterward. This relaunch will involve the company's trading arm purchasing the tokens and providing liquidity on exchanges. MKS PAMP will issue DGLD tokens only to accredited institutions, who can then sell them on secondary cryptocurrency exchanges, operating similarly to other gold tokens. According to the company, the tokens can be redeemed for a corresponding amount of physical gold in quantities as low as 1 gram.

And if they pull it off, Ethereum and its L2 may never be the same. 📌 What Happened The Ethereum Foundation revealed its early work on something called the Ethereum Interoperability Layer, or EIL. The idea is simple but ambitious: let any Ethereum L2 talk to any other L2 instantly, safely, and in a way that feels invisible to the user. No more guessing what chain you’re on. No more juggling tokens or bridges. No more worrying whether your wallet is connected to the right place. You’d sign a transaction once—and the wallet + network would handle the rest in the background. They also made a point of tying this to Ethereum’s core values: self-custody, censorship-resistance, open-source development, and privacy. The roadmap rolls out in phases, starting with basic standards and messaging across L2s, and eventually moving toward real-time, trust-minimized communication between chains. 🗣️ What Are They Saying “What if all the L2s felt like a single, unified Ethereum? No bridges to think about, no chain names to recognize, no fragmented balances or assets. That’s the vision of the Ethereum Interop Layer (EIL): making Ethereum feel like…

Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025

Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025

The post Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Discover the best cryptocurrencies to invest in 2025, including $NNZ and top market leaders. Full analysis, price levels, and key insights. Finding the best cryptocurrencies to invest in 2025 starts with understanding which projects show real strength before the next market push. Some coins already prove their value through steady growth, while others are beginning to attract early attention from traders who watch trends closely. Strong signals usually appear long before prices move, and comparing these projects side by side helps investors see which ones might lead the next wave. The Top Picks For the Best Cryptocurrencies to Invest in 2025 1. Noomez ($NNZ) – Narrative-Driven Token With a Deflationary Presale Model Noomez enters 2025 with a structure that looks nothing like the usual presale coins. Its supply is fixed at 280B $NNZ with no minting and no inflation. Half of that supply (140B) fuels a 28-stage presale where unsold tokens at every stage are permanently burned. Stage 4 is live now at $0.0000187, and momentum hasn’t slowed. When Stage 5 arrives, the price climbs again. That alone is enough to draw early-stage investors, but Noomez goes further. The Noom Gauge lights a stage for every completed phase, building a storyline around progress. Stage X Million airdrops reward one wallet per stage based on transparent draws. The Noom Engine, coming after launch, sends partner-project tokens directly to $NNZ holders. This makes the Noomez token feel like the best crypto investment today for anyone who values sustained rewards over hype cycles. 2. Polkadot ($DOT) – Growing Utility and Steady Demand for Interoperability Polkadot continues to be one of the strongest long-term plays in 2025 thanks to its focus on chain-to-chain communication. Its current trading price sits around $2.75, with a market cap above $4.5B and daily trading volume over…

Polymarket Seeks $12 Billion Valuation After Record-Breaking Month

Polymarket Seeks $12 Billion Valuation After Record-Breaking Month

The post Polymarket Seeks $12 Billion Valuation After Record-Breaking Month appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. October was Polymarket’s busiest month ever, with November on track to surpass those activity records. The prediction market space has graduated from a hyped niche to an all-out frenzy, with Kalshi and Polymarket volumes soaring and legacy betting sites such as DraftKings entering the fray. Polymarket is capitalizing on the fervor as it seeks to raise yet another round of funding, this time at a $12 billion valuation, according to Bloomberg. After eclipsing $3 billion in total volume in October, the decentralized prediction market is on track to reach $3.5 billion in November. It is worth noting that November volumes may have been front-loaded due to the attention surrounding the NYC Mayoral election, which accounted for nearly $430 million in total volume. Polymarket Volume – Dune Analytics Attention and excitement surrounding the company’s go-to-market strategy have increased among the crypto crowd over the last few months, after Polymarket CMO Matthew Modabber appeared on a podcast and stated that “there will be a token, there will be an airdrop.” Modabber added that the priority at hand was launching Polymarket US, which has been advertised as coming “soon” since the beginning of Q4. However, the odds of “Will Polymarket US go live in 2025” have plummeted over the last week. The market traded above 90% for roughly two months, but tumbled from 94% to 75% over the last seven days.

DeFi Lending Hit New Record in Q3: Galaxy

DeFi Lending Hit New Record in Q3: Galaxy

The post DeFi Lending Hit New Record in Q3: Galaxy appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new report from Galaxy Digital shows record borrowing reflects a mix of airdrops, new lending products, and crypto price gains. Lending in decentralized finance hit a new quarter-end high as the total active loans on DeFi applications neared $41 billion, Galaxy Digital said in its latest “State of Crypto” report for Q3. Galaxy’s research team wrote that DeFi borrowing grew by about $14.5 billion, or nearly 55% in the third quarter, alongside centralized crypto lending. CeFi + DeFi lending by Q3 2025. Source: Galaxy Digital That growth helped push total crypto lending — across both DeFi and CeFi — to almost $73.6 billion, setting a new all-time high above the previous peak of $69.3 billion at the end of Q4 2021. TVL in DeFi lending protocols. Source: DefiLlama It’s worth noting that DefiLlama data shows that the total value locked in DeFi lending protocols was at around $90.9 billion as of early October. Although TVL doesn’t necessarily reflect the amount actually borrowed from the protocols, if that $90 billion indeed held in early Q4, it could suggest that on-chain lending — combined with CeFi — was significantly higher than Galaxy’s Q3 snapshot. A spokesperson for Galaxy Digital clarified that the wording about all-time high was meant “as of the end of Q3 2025,” which means that the historic maximum was likely reached in early Q4. In the report, Galaxy Digital explained that several factors helped borrowing increase. Airdrops, points programs, better collateral products, and rising prices boosted users’ ability to borrow as the value of their collateral grew. Challenges in Off-Chain Lending But Galaxy Digital also warned about possible double-counting between CeFi and DeFi numbers. As the report’s author, Galaxy research associate Zack Pokorny, wrote, some CeFi lenders borrow on-chain and then lend off-chain, which can show up twice without clear…

Why Veteran Web3 Users Are the Scammers’ Favorite Targets?

Why Veteran Web3 Users Are the Scammers’ Favorite Targets?

The post Why Veteran Web3 Users Are the Scammers’ Favorite Targets? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A recent report by Kerberus, a Web3 security firm, suggests that human behavior is now the primary risk in Web3. BeInCrypto spoke with the firm’s CEO, Alex Katz, and CTO, Danor Cohen, to understand why users continue to fall victim to attacks and what they can do to better protect themselves. Sponsored Sponsored Human Error Drives Major Web3 Losses, Kerberus Report Finds  In its latest report titled “The Human Factor – Real-Time Protection Is the Unsung Layer of Web3 Cybersecurity (2025),” Kerberus revealed that human-focused attacks were the most structurally dangerous vector in Web3. The report cites data showing that a significant share of industry losses stems from user mistakes. Roughly 44% of crypto thefts in 2024 resulted from the mismanagement of private keys. Another research indicates that human error is involved in approximately 60% of security breaches. With 820 million active wallets in 2025, the threat landscape is expanding quickly, and everyone remains at risk. Katz told BeInCrypto that bad actors are targeting both newcomers and experienced users, but for very different reasons. “New users are attractive because they don’t yet understand what ‘normal’ Web3 behavior looks like,” he said Interestingly, the executive noted that long-time users are becoming increasingly higher-value targets compared to newcomers. According to him,  “Veteran users interact with far more dApps, sign more transactions, and move larger amounts. That means a single moment of complacency can do far more damage. So the group most at risk today is anyone who assumes they’re not at risk.”  Cohen added that one of the biggest misconceptions in Web3 is the belief that security failures stem from users not understanding the technology. His analysis points in the opposite direction. People are getting hacked because the system places an unrealistic burden on them. “Users think, ‘I’m too smart to get drained,…
