Moca Network, the flagship project of Animoca Brands, marks a groundbreaking shift in the entertainment sector by launching AIR Shop Tickets: over 40 million tickets for concerts, sporting events, and theater performances are now available on blockchain. Thanks to this innovation, live ticketing enters the Web3 era, offering digital rewards on a global scale and tangible benefits for fans for the first time.

AIR Shop Tickets: a real and interoperable rewards system

AIR Shop Tickets introduces a completely new loyalty program, based on tangible benefits rather than unused points. Users who purchase tickets through the platform, powered by Spree Finance and BookIt.com, can receive up to 10% cashback in AIR SP, a stable and interoperable digital currency, spendable at over 2 million merchants worldwide.

This initiative not only drastically reduces fees compared to traditional platforms, but also offers prices that are equal to or lower, with almost no additional costs. AIR Shop Tickets thus presents itself as a transparent and advantageous alternative for those who wish to enjoy live experiences without hefty surcharges.

Global Events and Exclusive Prizes

Through AIR Shop, fans can purchase tickets for world-class events, from Shakira’s concerts to the World Series games, and even Broadway shows. To mark the launch, the platform is celebrating with a sweepstakes offering five pairs of tickets for the BLACKPINK concert at the Tokyo Dome in January 2026, marking a significant milestone for the entry of blockchain into global entertainment.

Technology and Transparency at the Service of the User

Each user sees their AIR SP balance recorded on-chain and linked to a verifiable digital identity through the AIR Kit by Moca Network. This ensures transparency, trust, and smooth management of rewards. The system offers various reward tiers – Basic, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum – which can provide up to 31% cashback in AIR SP on purchases, encouraging participation and loyalty.

According to Lin Dai, co-founder of BookIt.com, “for the first time, blockchain and stablecoins are powering real-world ticketing on a global scale. We are merging entertainment and Web3 to make loyalty programs truly valuable and interoperable.” Dai also emphasizes that the AIR Shop solution is available in white-label for companies that wish to integrate on-chain rewards into their platforms.

An Innovative Trading Model

Carter Razink, co-founder and Head of Technology at Spree Finance, highlights how “the ticketing sector has long been dominated by intermediaries imposing high costs on buyers and sellers. By bringing 40 million tickets on-chain, we reduce fees, eliminate friction, and directly reward users with a new loyalty currency of real and stable value.”

Kenneth Shek, project lead at Moca Network, adds: 

How to Participate and Win

Users can explore the new ticketing experience on tickets.air.shop and participate in the BLACKPINK Tokyo Dome Sweepstakes by signing up for free on AIR Shop. The initiative represents a unique opportunity to experience exclusive events and benefit from a transparent and innovative rewards system.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
