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.

Best Crypto Presales To Watch As Bitwise’s XRP ETF ‘Historic Moment’ Lands Today

Best Crypto Presales To Watch As Bitwise’s XRP ETF ‘Historic Moment’ Lands Today

What to Know: Bitwise’s XRP ETF has launched on NYSE Arca with a 0.34% fee waived on the first $500M, positioning XRP as an institution-ready asset. XRP dropped more than 9% into the launch before recovering, with higher volumes and futures open interest indicating renewed speculative and hedging activity. Best Wallet Token, Bitcoin Hyper, and Ionix Chain map onto themes supported by ETF flows: self-custody, Bitcoin scalability, and AI-native infrastructure. These projects provide presale access and strong utility narratives but still come with early-stage risks tied to execution, exchange listings, and long-term adoption. Bitwise’s spot XRP ETF is finally live on NYSE Arca under the ticker ‘XRP’, and the issuer is calling it a ‘historic moment’. The $15B asset manager has set a 0.34% management fee and is waiving it for the first month on the first $500M of assets, an aggressive move to capture early institutional flow. The market reaction has already been spicy. XRP dumped more than 9% to around $2 on classic ‘sell the news’ flows, then bounced back to about $2.12 as volumes jumped and futures open interest ticked higher. That’s the ETF era in a nutshell: institutions get a cleaner wrapper, traders get more volatility to play with. This matters beyond XRP. Spot ETFs helped normalize exposure to $BTC and $ETH; now one of the biggest payments tokens is getting the same treatment. As capital moves from blue chips into higher-beta plays, altcoins and the best crypto presales tend to ride the second wave of risk-on sentiment. Three presales line up neatly with this shift: a wallet super-app built for self-custody, a Bitcoin Layer-2 turning ‘digital gold’ into active collateral, and an AI-native Layer-1 chasing the next infrastructure trade. Here’s how Best Wallet Token, Bitcoin Hyper, and Ionix Chain fit into the post-ETF landscape. 1. Best Wallet Token ($BEST): Wallet Super-App For The Post-ETF Onboarding Wave If XRP ETFs succeed, a fresh wave of non-crypto natives will end up holding digital assets for the first time. Those users eventually graduate from brokerage accounts into self-custody, and that’s exactly where Best Wallet Token tries to position itself. Best Wallet is a live, non-custodial, multi-chain wallet with fiat on/off-ramps, portfolio tracking, and cross-chain swaps routed through hundreds of DEXs and bridges. It already counts hundreds of thousands of users, supports major chains like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, and is rolling out a debit card, analytics suite, advanced order types, and a staking aggregator. The idea is simple: one app that feels like a trading terminal, not a barebones wallet. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is the access key to that stack. Holders get reduced swap and on-ramp fees, boosted staking yields, governance rights, and early ‘Stage 0’ access to new token launches inside the wallet’s launchpad. The presale has raised over $17.23M so far, with the current stage pricing $BEST at about $0.025975 and staking yields around 76% APY for early participants. To buy $BEST and start staking, check out our guide. Our $BEST price prediction suggests that, if the roadmap lands and exchange listings arrive in a supportive market, $BEST could potentially reach up to roughly $0.05106175 in 2026. From today’s presale level, that implies a 96% upside scenario. If ETF flows pull more people into crypto, full-stack self-custody tools should be one of the structural winners. Check out Best Wallet Token. 2. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER): BTC Layer-2 Turning ‘Digital Gold’ Into DeFi Collateral While XRP steals today’s headlines, Bitcoin is still the main liquidity engine in this market. The problem: as a base layer, it’s slow, expensive, and terrible for DeFi. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is trying to fix that without touching Bitcoin’s core security model. Bitcoin Hyper builds a high-throughput Layer-2 using the Solana Virtual Machine. Users bridge $BTC into the network via a canonical bridge; wrapped $BTC then moves on a fast chain with near-instant finality and sub-cent fees, while settlement still anchors back to Bitcoin. That opens the door for $BTC-denominated DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and even meme coins, all while remaining ‘Bitcoin-native’. The HYPER presale has already crossed roughly $28M raised at a token price of $0.013305, with staking rewards at 41% APY. There’s no private VC round in front, and on-chain data shows multiple six-figure whale tickets (including a $500K buy and a $379K purchase), which is why this sale keeps popping up on presale trackers. Learn how to buy $HYPER to get in early. From a valuation angle, our $HYPER price prediction put a potential 2026 high around $0.08625. Measured from the current sale level, that’s roughly 546% upside in the optimistic case. The thesis is clean: if ETFs push more capital into $BTC, a working $BTC Layer-2 that actually lets that capital do something could be in the slipstream. Research Bitcoin Hyper today. 3. Ionix Chain ($IONX) — Quantum AI Layer-1 With Built-In Revenue Sharing Where XRP ETFs reflect TradFi edging into crypto, Ionix Chain ($IONX) represents the opposite direction: crypto infrastructure leaning into AI. Ionix pitches itself as the first AI-native Layer-1 blockchain using a proprietary Quantum AI Consensus to hit up to 500,000 TPS with sub-second finality and gas fees near $0.0005. Under the hood it combines Proof-of-Stake with a DAG-style architecture, plus sharding, to stay scalable as usage grows. The network is designed for AI-heavy workloads: adaptive smart contracts that optimize in real time, on-chain ML computation, and cross-chain bridges into ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana. In other words, it’s built for the part of the market where AI and DeFi start blending, exactly the type of narrative that tends to catch fire when risk appetite returns after big events like the XRP ETF launch. Tokenomics are tailored to keep holders plugged in. $IONX stakers can currently earn around 12% APY in the presale, while the protocol plans to distribute 15% of daily gas fees back to token holders and add up to 5% loyalty airdrops for early participants. The presale has already raised more than $1.57M, with the current stage pricing IONX at about $0.050. If the mainnet lands by 2026, major CEX/DEX listings go ahead around the planned $2 listing band, and the AI-chain narrative actually converts to real usage, Ionix could launch hard and climb fast. The XRP ETF launch marks another step in crypto’s institutionalization, with Bitwise offering fee-waived exposure to XRP just as traders lean back into risk. That backdrop sets the scene for selectively hunting upside further out the curve. Best Wallet Token targets the self-custody and tools layer, Bitcoin Hyper extends Bitcoin into high-speed DeFi, and Ionix Chain bets on AI-driven infrastructure, three very different ways to play the same shift in capital and narrative.

BANK Leads With a 97% Rally

The post BANK Leads With a 97% Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Last week, the crypto market displayed a clear divergence between overall macro sentiment and sector-specific rotation. While BTC traded sideways, locked in a stalemate between bulls and bears around a key range, investors actively focused on structural opportunities within the Bitcoin ecosystem, Solana DEXs, and the L1/L2 scaling sectors. HTX data from November 10 to 17 show that high-quality assets across multiple sectors performed exceptionally, highlighted by BANK’s remarkable 97% surge in a single week. Bitcoin Ecosystem: BANK Leads With a 97% Weekly Gain The Bitcoin ecosystem was clearly in the spotlight this week. Momentum in the sector continued to build in the fourth quarter, driven both by the strengthening BTC Layer 2 narrative and active support for ecosystem assets from major centralized exchanges (CEXs). BANK’s exceptional performance also reflects the market’s strong conviction in the “next major breakout within the Bitcoin sector.” ● BANK (Lorenzo Protocol): A modular Bitcoin L2 infrastructure built on Babylon. First launched on HTX in May, BANK surged 97% this week, fueled by community enthusiasm and an upgraded ecosystem narrative, securing its position as the top gainer of the week. L1/L2 Sector: SOON and STRK Rise as Funds Return The L1 public chain and Layer 2 sectors regained investor attention this week, leading to a general uptick in trading activity. Investor sentiment shifted toward “high-growth narratives and high-elasticity assets”. Compared to volatile meme coins or one-off spike tokens, the L1/L2 sectors showed a clear move toward a more sustainable growth trajectory. ● SOON: Up 80% for the week. Progress in ecosystem rollout and performance enhancements fueled renewed short-term interest, making SOON the top L1 performer of the week. ● STRK (StarkNet): Gained 50% this week and stands out as the most representative growth asset in the L2 sector.  DEX Sector: Solana Remains in Focus, PerpDEXs…

GoPlus Issues Security Alert After DexMax Airdrop Exploit

The post GoPlus Issues Security Alert After DexMax Airdrop Exploit appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Over $130,000 lost due to DMT token fraud. Critical importance of revoking unwanted token authorizations. Echoing past phishing attacks with ERC-20 approvals. GoPlus Security has issued an urgent alert on November 20th, urging users to revoke permissions following a $130,000 heist via the DMT token airdrop scam by @dexmaxai. The incident raises significant concerns about airdrop security, affecting numerous crypto holders and driving discussions on safeguarding digital assets in decentralized ecosystems. Regulatory Landmarks Loom Amidst Escalating Smart Contract Breaches Industry leaders, such as GoPlus Security, reaffirm the risks associated with transactional approvals from unfamiliar projects. “There’s no such thing as free money — don’t trust projects that claim you can easily earn just by participating. Always verify token contract permissions and use on-chain tools to limit granted approvals.” — GoPlus Security, Security Firm.

GoPlus: Users who have received the DMT airdrop should promptly revoke authorization or transfer their assets to a secure wallet.

PANews reported on November 20th that GoPlus issued a security alert: Users who received the DMT token airdrop from @dexmaxai are urged to immediately cancel authorization or transfer their assets to a secure wallet. Multiple users reported being scammed today, claiming they were tricked into authorizing other tokens when receiving the DMT airdrop. This has resulted 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 from their platform. The investigation revealed that when users claimed the airdrop, the attackers tricked them into signing again to obtain authorization, and then transferred 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, while a small portion remains on the blockchain.
