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.

Upbit to resume deposits on Dec 1 after recent hack

Upbit to resume deposits on Dec 1 after recent hack

The post Upbit to resume deposits on Dec 1 after recent hack appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Upbit will resume digital asset deposits and withdrawals on December 1 at 1:00 PM KST following a $37 million hack that targeted Solana-based assets. The South Korean exchange announced that all existing deposit addresses have been deleted, and users must issue new addresses before depositing funds. The security breach occurred on November 27, 2025, when hackers stole approximately 44.5 billion KRW ($30-36 million USD) from Upbit’s hot wallets. Unlike the 2019 attack which focused on Ethereum (ETH), the latest incident targeted Solana ecosystem tokens including Solana (SOL), USDC, and Bonk (BONK). North Korea’s Lazarus Group is suspected of planning the attack. New deposit addresses required for all users Upbit warned that using old deposit addresses could result in delays. “Due to security vulnerability improvements and wallet system maintenance, new deposit addresses for all digital assets are required,” the exchange stated in its announcement. The exchange instructed users to delete any existing Upbit deposit addresses registered in personal wallets or other exchanges to prevent future misuse. Deposits made during the suspension period will be shown sequentially once services resume. However, they mentioned that processing may take extra time. Withdrawals and deposits will resume in phases, starting with network digital assets that have completed wallet system inspections and confirmed security. Staking requests and NFT deposits supported by resumed networks will be processed after service stability is verified. Exchange covers all user losses from corporate reserves Upbit pledged 100% coverage of user losses from its corporate reserves. The exchange immediately halted all deposits and withdrawals upon detecting the unauthorized transfers on November 27. The company successfully worked with token foundations to freeze approximately $8.18 million worth of specific tokens like LAYER, making them worthless to attackers. The frozen assets represent roughly 22% of the total stolen amount. Users should note potential price differences…

Hyperliquid Volume Falls 32% After HYPE Token Unlock

Hyperliquid Volume Falls 32% After HYPE Token Unlock

The post Hyperliquid Volume Falls 32% After HYPE Token Unlock appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights Hyperliquid volume dropped 32% after the team unlocked 1,745,746 HYPE. Wallet data shows most tokens were held or restaked, with limited OTC sales. Community revisits Hyperliquid’s growth story as the unlock draws attention. Hyperliquid volume dropped 32% recently after the team behind the project unlocked 1,745,746 HYPE. Notably, the unlock took place on the TGE anniversary and shifted attention to trading activity in the community. These wallet movements, and how the added supply might shape market behavior, are now under conversation in the broader market. HYPE Price and Volume Slip After the Unlock Hyperliquid continued to draw attention as the HYPE price moved around $33.02 while the market cap stood near $11.11 billion. The fall in volume came at a time when traders were already watching daily movements closely. As detailed, the decline put the token in focus as market participants tried to understand how the unlock might influence liquidity in the short term. It is worth noting that the unlock added new tokens into the market, which often leads to questions about selling pressure. The effect on trading was visible as activity slowed. Market watchers followed the numbers to see if the drop in volume would stabilize or extend into later sessions. Some traders pointed to the timing of the unlock, which landed on the anniversary of the token generation event. This made the movement more noticeable because many community members were already reviewing the project’s earlier milestones. Interest in the price shift grew as some users waited to see if the token would find support or drift lower. The wider market did not show major changes during the same period, so attention remained on Hyperliquid and the direct effect of the unlock. How the Team Unlocked and Managed the Tokens It is important to add that…

Trader suffers $2 million loss trading this hot crypto

Trader suffers $2 million loss trading this hot crypto

The post Trader suffers $2 million loss trading this hot crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crypto trader has recorded nearly $2 million in realized losses after placing a series of aggressive long positions on Monad’s newly launched MON token. The losses, amounting to about $1.9 million, came within hours of trading as MON experienced violent price swings during its debut on secondary markets, according to the latest on-chain data retrieved by Finbold from Lookonchain on November 30. Trade records show a chain of liquidations and forced exits, including a single liquidation that wiped out more than $963,000. Several others ranged from tens of thousands to well over $300,000. Crypto trader’s MON transaction. Source: Lookonchain The trader built long exposure near the $0.034 level, but a sharp intraday reversal sent MON tumbling from its peak, triggering a cascade of liquidations. Although MON gained nearly 99% at one point within the 24-hour window, the rapid downturn visible on the price chart erased the trader’s positions almost instantly. MON 24-hour price chart. Source: OKEX The heavy loss unfolded during one of the most widely participated token sales held on Coinbase’s new launch platform. The week-long sale attracted nearly 86,000 buyers from more than 70 countries, accumulating $269 million in commitments and oversubscribing the $187.5 million allocation by 1.43×.  Most participants entered for long-term exposure, but early trading activity proved far more volatile than the sale itself. Notably, MON launched with 10.8% of its 100 billion supply unlocked, split between the public sale at $0.025 and the airdrop, while the rest remains locked for years across team, investor, treasury, and ecosystem allocations. The team’s large share drew pushback from some community members who viewed the distribution as insider-heavy.  Why MON rallied  Monad’s mainnet went live with apps and developers active from day one, generating immediate on-chain activity. The combination of strong early demand and low circulating supply fueled…

Top 5 New Tokens for 2025

Top 5 New Tokens for 2025

The post Top 5 New Tokens for 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Presales Explore 2025’s top crypto tokens. Discover why IPO Genie ($IPO) leads the pack, presale at $0.00010420 with airdrop ending 30 Nov 2025. Could 2025’s Most Promising Crypto Token Be Overlooked? As the crypto market rebounds from recent turbulence, after Bitcoin slid 30% from its October highs. And the broader market lost over $1 trillion in value, savvy investors now hunt “top crypto tokens” that combine innovation, utility, and timing.  Amid that search, one name repeatedly surfaces: IPO Genie ($IPO). With presale stage-14 live at $0.00010420 and its airdrop ending 30 November 2025, this is the last-chance entry before the next cycle picks up momentum. Key Takeaway: Why IPO Genie Stands Out Private market access IPO Genie tokenises pre-IPO equity, and retail investors get exposure to deals typically reserved for institutions. The platform uses AI analytics to scout high-potential deals faster than manual methods and provides effective AI deal discovery. Presale terms and vesting schedule are clearly defined, reducing common presale risks. IPO’s have transparent tokenomics.  Given today’s market backdrop, IPO Genie emerges as a rare “top crypto token 2025” combining structural discipline and growth potential. Why IPO Genie Outshines Other Top Crypto Tokens Unlike many presale tokens chasing short-term hype, IPO Genie positions itself as a bridge between traditional private markets and retail crypto investors.  While many new tokens offer gaming gimmicks or meme-coin vibes, IPO Genie delivers institutional-grade tokenomics and a logical roadmap. Where other top crypto tokens rely heavily on speculative sentiment. But $IPO  builds on data, AI analytics, and real-world private-market deals, a distinct structural advantage. Also, IPO Genie offers Black Friday 30% bonus for investors. So, you can avail these amazing offers till 1st December at 11:59 PM. It means that if you buy a 1000 $IPO token, then you’ll get a 300 $IPO…

Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – ENA, KAS, M, ZEC

Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – ENA, KAS, M, ZEC

The post Crypto market’s weekly winners and losers – ENA, KAS, M, ZEC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aster slipped 11% this week, extending its drift downward on the charts. Price showed lower highs and lower lows, while the RSI was weak, but not yet oversold. Momentum clearly leaned bearish, with buyers struggling to defend the $1 zone. But despite the dip, sentiment online is heating up. One X user summarized December as a “countdown to a supply shock,” with a packed schedule: token burns, buybacks, airdrop claims, major events, and the L1 testnet. In a more formal read, it’s a month of reduced supply, increased demand mechanisms, and heightened visibility. The tide could change. Memecore [M] — A heavy hit Memecore [M] had a rough week, dropping 35%; one of its steepest declines in recent months. The chart showed a big downtrend, capped off by a massive red candle. Selling pressure is high. The RSI was deep in oversold territory, which basically means sellers have been in full control. The MACD was also firmly bearish, with widening red bars and both lines trending down. Momentum’s weak, confidence is low, and buyers haven’t stepped in yet. If there’s any silver lining, it’s that oversold levels sometimes attract short-term rebounds. For now, the market mood around M remains cautious. Other weekly losers The slump extended to several mid-cap tokens. Fasttoken [FTN] led the declines at press time with a 51.7% weekly drop, sliding to $0.8514 on modest volumes. Sahara AI [SAHARA] followed, falling 47% despite posting over $300 million in weekly trading activity. DeAgentAI [AIA] also retreated 40.2%, closing the week at $0.4031. And that’s your week! Some coins flexed, some coins fumbled. Narratives can shift overnight, and sometimes the biggest moves come from the least expected corners of the market. As always, take all of this as a guide, not gospel. Stay curious, stay skeptical, and make sure…

Hyperliquid unlocked 1.75 million HYPE tokens for team members as part of its scheduled vesting

Hyperliquid unlocked 1.75 million HYPE tokens for team members as part of its scheduled vesting

The post Hyperliquid unlocked 1.75 million HYPE tokens for team members as part of its scheduled vesting appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pseudonymous developer and cofounder of Hyperliquid, Iliensinc, shared an X post after a scheduled token distribution to team members triggered concerns about potential selling pressure among HYPE holders, with some community members mistaking the movements for external investors dumping tokens. The statement posted to X noted that the 1.75 million tokens went exclusively to team members as part of vesting schedules announced a year ago, reminding the community that Hyperliquid did not share any tokens to external investors, as the platform never raised venture capital. Hyperliquid: There are no investor unlocks The post included a Discord screenshot stating: “As announced a year ago, Hyperliquid Labs’ tokens unlocked on Nov 29, 2025. Different team members have different vesting schedules and can choose what to do with their vested tokens. Today, 1.75M tokens were distributed to different team members. We are thankful for each person’s contributions to the team and the broader ecosystem. For perspective, ~270M tokens were fully unlocked on Nov 29, 2024, in the largest airdrop in history, measured in today’s market value at ~$9.5B. There are no investor unlocks, as Hyperliquid never raised any external capital.” Why the clarification was needed Some analysts flagged the token movement, and it sparked speculation that external investors were preparing to sell. On-chain monitoring and analytics platform Lookonchain posted during the early hours of November 30 that the Hyperliquid team had been unstaking and restaking. It wrote, “The HyperLiquid team recently unstaked 2.6M $HYPE ($89.2M). Of that amount: 1,088,822 $HYPE($37.4M) was restaked; 900,869 $HYPE($30.9M) remains in the wallet; 609,108 $HYPE($20.9M) was sent to #Flowdesk; 1,200 $HYPE was sold for 41,193.45 $USDC.” However, the team only sold a fraction of HYPE, which has tipped the scales back toward optimism, as many observers speculated that the team was still very much bullish with its holding…
