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.

China Bans RWA for First Time: 7 Agencies’ Biggest Crypto Crackdown Since 2021

China Bans RWA for First Time: 7 Agencies’ Biggest Crypto Crackdown Since 2021

The post China Bans RWA for First Time: 7 Agencies’ Biggest Crypto Crackdown Since 2021 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Seven major Chinese financial industry associations jointly issued a risk warning, marking the most comprehensive crypto crackdown since the 2021 ban that drove all crypto exchanges out of the country. The associations cover banking, securities, funds, futures, payment clearing, listed companies, and internet finance. They stated that all crypto-related business activities, including stablecoins, airdrops, mining, and, notably, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, are illegal in China. Sponsored Sponsored RWA Tokenization Enters Regulatory Crosshairs The statement, which was issued on Dec 5, explicitly noted that Chinese financial regulators have “not approved any real-world asset tokenization activities,” marking the first official prohibition of RWA in the country. A researcher explained that the last time this coalition mobilized was September 24, 2021. It was when 10 government departments jointly issued the “Notice on Further Preventing and Disposing of Risks from Virtual Currency Trading Speculation.” That action forced all cryptocurrency exchanges to exit China and shut down all mining operations. China’s share of global Bitcoin hashrate plummeted from 75%. This move comes as global RWA tokenization surpasses $30 billion in market size. Major players like BlackRock’s $2 billion BUIDL fund—tokenized by Securitize and accepted as collateral on Binance, Crypto.com, and Deribit—are driving mainstream adoption. Chinese regulators appear concerned that RWA tokenization could become a sophisticated tool for capital flight. The mechanism would allow individuals to convert domestic assets into tokens, transfer them to offshore wallets, and exchange them for foreign currency—all bypassing traditional banking and foreign exchange controls. Enforcement Tightens With Multi-Agency Coordination The statement reemphasized that virtual currencies, including stablecoins and tokens such as Pi coin, lack legal status and cannot be circulated in China. Individuals and organizations may not issue, exchange, or raise funds via RWAs or virtual currencies within mainland China. This restriction also applies if offshore companies employ staff based in…

Crypto Holiday Gift Guide 2025

Crypto Holiday Gift Guide 2025

The post Crypto Holiday Gift Guide 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With the holiday season just around the corner, it’s time to start piling presents under the tree. Here’s our pick of the best options for the crypto fan in your life. Ledger Nano Gen5 Ledger Nano Gen5. Image: Ledger ledger.com, $179 Hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is doing its level best to present itself as the Apple of crypto, enlisting iPod designer Tony Fadell to create its new product line, and now Apple Macintosh icon designer Susan Kare to work on the graphics for its latest offering. As you might expect, the Nano Gen5 is a slick-looking, consumer-friendly bit of kit, with an E Ink touchscreen interface, Bluetooth and NFC, and secured by a CC EAL6+ Secure Element chip. Ledger raised some eyebrows after ending support for its original Ledger Nano S earlier this year, but that does mean there’s an opportunity to gift an upgraded model. Cold Wallet (Blu-ray) Cold Wallet Blu-ray. Image: Well Go USA amazon.com, $11 After ominously named crypto exchange Tulip collapses in suspicious circumstances, a luckless bagholder enlists his friends to kidnap the founder and retrieve his missing funds. This thriller from director Cutter Hoderine is notable for being one of the first films to accurately depict crypto on-screen. It’s also partly funded by Web3 film fund Decentralized Pictures through a grant from executive producer Steven Soderbergh—which, inevitably, led to it being billed as “the crypto ‘Ocean’s Eleven.’” That’s not entirely accurate, though. “Cold Wallet” is no globetrotting heist movie, instead it’s a character piece that pits the hostage-takers against the mind games of their billionaire nemesis, before a shocking act of violence turns the film into a riff on “The Most Dangerous Game.” A good stocking-filler—and with its snowbound Massachusetts setting, a suitably chilly bit of Christmas Day viewing.
