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.

HYPE, LIGHTER Winning: Are ASTER, APX Just Propped Up by Airdrop Farmers?

HYPE, LIGHTER Winning: Are ASTER, APX Just Propped Up by Airdrop Farmers?

The post HYPE, LIGHTER Winning: Are ASTER, APX Just Propped Up by Airdrop Farmers? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ASTER and APX surge on airdrop farming, while HYPE and LIGHTER grow through organic value. Are incentives enough for long-term success?   HYPE and LIGHTER have demonstrated substantial organic growth as the crypto market advances. However, others, like ASTER and APX, are facing scrutiny for relying heavily on airdrop incentives.  While these farming strategies can boost short-term volume, their long-term sustainability remains uncertain. The real question is whether ASTER and APX are driven by genuine user interest or short-term speculative trading. Airdrop Incentives Behind ASTER and APX’s Growth ASTER and APX have gained significant trading volumes, but most of this activity is driven by airdrop farming. Aster alone has surpassed 650B in trading volume within just one week of launch.  However, much of this is tied to the anticipation of airdrop rewards, rather than organic demand. This trend suggests that the current price increases and volume surges may be short-lived. New player has entered the perp dex arena: $APEX Have to imagine that @benbybit has done the math on how much $ASTER airdrop incentive has boosted price & volume…and how they could use Mantle treasury to achieve something similar… Aster mkt cap: $3.3BAster airdrop… pic.twitter.com/mo9wLZWwDF — Luke Martin (@VentureCoinist) September 27, 2025 Airdrop farming can create a temporary illusion of demand, but once the incentives end, the market may correct itself. Many traders focus on these rewards and quickly move on when the incentives run out. As a result, the real value of these tokens may be overestimated in the short term. HYPE and LIGHTER Gaining Through Organic Growth In contrast, HYPE and LIGHTER have attracted attention for their strong products and organic user bases. These tokens focus on real-world applications and long-term value, making them appealing to genuine investors.  HYPE has reached a $14B market cap by focusing on…

Crypto Trader Who Bet $1B on Bitcoin Returns With 3x Leveraged Long on ASTER

Crypto Trader Who Bet $1B on Bitcoin Returns With 3x Leveraged Long on ASTER

The post Crypto Trader Who Bet $1B on Bitcoin Returns With 3x Leveraged Long on ASTER appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. James Wynn, the pseudonymous trader behind a billion-dollar BTC$109,499.06 bet earlier this year, is back. This time, Wynn is making a leveraged play on ASTER just days after being liquidated on the same token. Wynn has opened a new 3x leveraged long on ASTER, the native token of the emerging Aster perpetuals exchange, worth over $16,000, entering at $1.97 with a liquidation level around $1.57.The move was first spotted by Onchain Lens. While the dollar amount seems small compared to Wynn’s previous positions, the trade is likely to be a hedge on a different position on Aster itself. “I’m farming the $ASTER airdrop,” the trader wrote on X. “I believe it will be one of the biggest [in] crypto history.” The move is Wynn’s latest high-risk bet on Hyperliquid, an onchain derivatives platform where he previously took out a $1.2 billion long on bitcoin using 40x leverage. That position closed with a $17.5 million loss, before he flipped into a billion-dollar short. At one point, he had his entire $50 million wallet on the line. That wild streak ended with Wynn saying he was walking away “a wynner” after netting $25 million in profit.

Tapzi Stands Out in the 2025 Altcoin Race

Tapzi Stands Out in the 2025 Altcoin Race

The post Tapzi Stands Out in the 2025 Altcoin Race appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 27 September 2025 | 19:49 Tapzi presale at $0.0035 is gaining traction in 2025 as one of the best cryptocurrency projects to buy now for long-term growth. Bitcoin slipped below $111,500 before recovering modestly, while the overall crypto market cap climbed back above $4 trillion. Ethereum, XRP, DOGE, ADA, and other major tokens remained mostly flat. Solana and BNB posted minor losses. Aster (ASTER) and Immutable (IMX) were among the few to post noticeable gains. While large-cap coins continue to dominate institutional demand, their growth potential has slowed compared with earlier years. Attention is now shifting toward upcoming crypto projects with smaller valuations and higher growth prospects. Tapzi, currently in presale, is positioning itself as one of the best altcoins to buy in 2025, combining a low entry price with real-world gaming utility. Why Tapzi Stands Out in the Altcoin Race Ethereum, Solana, and BNB already command market caps in the billions, limiting their ability to multiply in value. Tapzi operates in a different category. It is a GameFi altcoin built on BNB Smart Chain, designed around competitive skill-based gameplay. The project allows players to stake TAPZI tokens to compete in chess, checkers, tic-tac-toe, and rock-paper-scissors. Winners claim rewards from player-funded prize pools.
