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.

A Practical Guide Before Joining Any Presale

A Practical Guide Before Joining Any Presale

The post A Practical Guide Before Joining Any Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Projects Discover how users evaluate presales in 2025 and explore top projects including Mono Protocol, Nexchain, WeWake, Bitcoin Hyper, and TOKEN6900. Interest in early-stage blockchain opportunities continues rising as users explore new platforms with real functionality. Before joining any crypto presale, many people now assess transparency, development activity, and network structure. This guide explains how users navigate today’s presale crypto market before reviewing five projects gaining attention in Web3 discussions. Clear Use Cases Help Users Understand Value Projects now need a clear function instead of general promises. Users often start by asking what problem a platform solves and whether the token supports its operation. When utility aligns with the network, confidence grows, especially across cryptocurrency presales where most activity occurs before public listings. Excessive marketing without a real system is becoming less appealing. Instead, users look for features such as cross-chain routing, simplified onboarding, or advanced execution tools. These elements help determine whether a project may maintain user interest beyond launch. Development Progress Signals Consistency Early-stage networks sharing technical updates help users evaluate momentum. Dashboards, testnets, audits, and community announcements allow people to track actual work being done. Within the crypto presales space, this visibility often separates short-lived projects from active platforms building long-term systems. Routine updates also help users confirm whether the presale coin structure matches the public roadmap. Development that matches published milestones supports trust in a project’s internal organization and delivery pace. Security and Audits Support Safer Participation Security reviews help users understand contract behavior. Many choose platforms that provide audit reports, lock rules, or documented token controls. These checks are becoming standard expectations among crypto presales where users want to minimize uncertainty before engaging. Transparent documentation and visible smart-contract details help users confirm whether a project follows responsible practices. This contributes to safer participation in…

Vugar brings over 15 years of experience driving high-growth transformations across Fortune 500 companies and leading Web3 platforms. Most recently, he served as Chief Operating Officer at Bitget, where he played a pivotal role in scaling the exchange from a top-20 platform into the world’s 4th largest crypto exchange, achieving fivefold user growth to over 120 million users globally. His previous leadership experience includes senior roles at Facebook, Bain & Company, Coca-Cola, and Sony, as well as co-founding a high-growth MarTech company. He is an alumnus of Harvard University and the University of Oxford. As Chief Operating Officer, Vugar will lead global business transformation, operational excellence, go-to-market execution, and strategic market expansion, with a focus on Eastern Europe, Turkey, CIS, and Latin America. He will also oversee policy, regulatory, and compliance readiness as MEXC continues to expand across global markets. “Vugar’s appointment represents a strategic inflection point for MEXC and for the broader industry,” said Cecilia Hush, Chief Strategy Officer at MEXC. “We are not focused on simply becoming better—we are focused on raising the entire standard for what a global crypto exchange should be. Vugar brings the rare combination of scale-building experience, transformation leadership, and regulatory discipline needed to help realize that mission. He is not here to manage incremental growth; he is here to help lead the next chapter of industry evolution through stronger operations, deeper trust, and higher global benchmarks.” Over the past several years, MEXC has recorded exceptional global growth, expanding its user base to more than 40 million users across 170+ markets, while consistently ranking among the world’s most liquid and fastest-growing exchanges. Its zero-fee trading model, deep liquidity, and rapid token listings have positioned MEXC as a preferred platform for retail traders worldwide. Vugar’s proven experience in scaling platforms to global leadership—particularly his success in driving mass adoption, operational excellence, and regulatory alignment—will be instrumental in guiding MEXC’s transition from hypergrowth to durable, long-term global market leadership. Through years of navigating crypto market cycles and user adoption trends, Vugar has developed a strong understanding of how the industry is evolving and where real user demand lies. He is eager to drive strategic innovation and product development that will propel MEXC into its next stage of global leadership. “I have closely followed MEXC’s growth over the past four years, and it is a privilege to join at such a pivotal moment for both the company and the global crypto industry,” said Vugar Usi. “MEXC is a rising global underdog powered by relentless innovation, rapid expansion, and sustained momentum across international markets. What truly sets the company apart for me is its deep, mission-driven DNA. As the new Chief Operating Officer, my focus is not on incremental change, but on fundamentally raising the standard for what a global, retail-first exchange should represent. With true zero-fee trading, world-class infrastructure, and an unwavering commitment to user empowerment, MEXC has the foundation to lead the industry into its next era. My role is to help scale that mission globally through operational excellence, responsible market expansion, and a regulatory-first approach that strengthens trust across the entire ecosystem.” MEXC’s appointment of Vugar Usi as the architect of its next phase signals its evolution from hypergrowth to true industry leadership—charged with amplifying momentum, challenging the status quo, and translating its retail-first, standards-driven mission into a new global benchmark for compliant, performance-led crypto adoption.

PA Daily News | Bank of America recommends clients allocate 1%-4% to crypto assets; UK formally includes cryptocurrencies under legal protection.

Today's top news highlights: The UK has officially included cryptocurrencies and other digital assets under legal protection, recognizing them as a new form of personal property. Trump has been actively hinting that Hassett will be the next Federal Reserve Chairman. The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in December is 89.2%.

Bank of America recommends that its wealth management clients allocate 1%–4% to crypto assets. Macro Reuters: Strategy is in talks with MSCI about potential removal from its index. According to Reuters, Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is in talks with index provider MSCI regarding a potential removal from the MSCI USA and MSCI World indices. MSCI is expected to make a decision on January 15, 2026. If removed, the removal could trigger an outflow of up to $8.8 billion, particularly from passive investment vehicles such as ETFs. Strategy's Executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, stated that the company is involved in the process but expressed uncertainty about the scale of the outflow predicted by JP Morgan. 21shares launches Ethena and Morpho ETPs, expanding investment channels for high-growth DeFi infrastructure. 21shares, a leading global provider of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (ETPs), announced the launch of two new ETPs: 21shares Ethena ETP (ticker symbol: EENA) and 21shares Morpho ETP (ticker symbol: MORPH).

The UK has officially included cryptocurrencies and other digital assets under legal protection, recognizing them as a new form of personal property. The UK has officially recognized crypto assets, such as cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, as property under legal protection. On Tuesday, Lord Speaker John McFall announced that the Property (Digital Assets, etc.) Bill, with royal assent by King Charles, has become law. Based on recommendations from the Law Commission of England and Wales in 2024, the bill explicitly classifies crypto assets as a new form of personal property. This provides a clearer legal basis for digital assets, particularly in areas such as proof of ownership, recovery of stolen assets, and bankruptcy or estate management. CryptoUK notes that the bill affirms that "things" in digital or electronic form can be objects of personal property rights, even if they do not fall under the traditional categories of "physical property" or "debt property." Industry insiders say this change provides greater clarity and protection for consumers and investors, while laying the foundation for supporting new financial products, tokenized physical assets, and a more secure digital market. The UK had previously planned to introduce a crypto regulatory framework aimed at integrating crypto businesses into a similar regulatory system as other financial companies, promoting its development as a global crypto hub. The probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in December is 89.2%.

The index references the implied volatility of Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin options, similar to the VIX in the stock market, aiming to optimize option pricing and risk management. The Bitcoin volatility benchmark launched by CME and CF Benchmarks includes the real-time index BVX and the settlement index BVXS.

Sources familiar with the matter: Anthropic has begun IPO preparations and could list as early as 2026. According to the Financial Times, artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has hired law firm Wilson Sonsini to begin preparations for one of the largest IPOs in history, potentially as early as 2026.

Multiple sources also indicated that the company has discussed potential IPO plans with several major investment banks. However, these discussions are still in the preliminary and informal stage, and the company is not yet close to selecting IPO underwriters.

"We have not made any decisions regarding when or even if we will go public, and there is no information to share at this time." Opinion Strategy CEO: Does not rule out the possibility of lending Bitcoin to enhance financial flexibility. According to Bloomberg, Strategy Inc. (formerly MicroStrategy) has established approximately $1.4 billion in cash reserves to cover dividends and interest during periods of market volatility.
