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.

Edel Finance-Linked Wallets ‘Snipe’ 30% Token Supply, Bag $11M: Bubblemaps

Edel Finance-Linked Wallets ‘Snipe’ 30% Token Supply, Bag $11M: Bubblemaps

The post Edel Finance-Linked Wallets ‘Snipe’ 30% Token Supply, Bag $11M: Bubblemaps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Concerns are mounting over unusual activity surrounding the token launch of Edel Finance, a lending protocol focused on tokenized stocks and real-world assets (RWAs). Blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps claimed in a Tuesday X post that a cluster of about 160 wallets accumulated 30% of the EDEL token supply, worth $11 million, during the launch earlier this month. The platform alleged the wallets were linked and funded in a coordinated fashion immediately before trading opened. “Edel Finance sniped 30% of $EDEL. Then tried to hide it behind a maze of wallets and liquidity positions,” said Bubblemaps. “Just hours before $EDEL launched, ~60 wallets were funded from Binance […] Together, they got 30% of the supply – now worth $11M.” In crypto slang, sniping refers to employing crypto trading bots to automatically purchase new token supply as soon as the tokens become publicly available. Snipers aim to get in before the general public to buy at lower prices. Source: Bubblemaps The wallets were all funded with Ether (ETH) around the same time, which was sent through a “layer of fresh wallets” before buying up the token supply through the final wallet layer, Bubblemaps claimed. Each wallet received 50% of the EDEL they sniped, while the remaining 50% was dispersed among about 100 secondary wallets, all of which were reportedly funded through the MEXC exchange. “The list of all 100 secondary wallets is included directly in the token contract creation code,” creating a “clear link between the team and the snipers,” Bubblemaps said. Cointelegraph was unable to independently verify the wallet cluster that acquired 30% of the token supply. EDEL/USD, one-week chart.

Best Crypto to Trade On MEXC

The post Best Crypto to Trade On MEXC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Following a highly successful pre-launch that raised $17.5 million, Best Wallet’s native token, $BEST, has officially opened for Pre-Market Trading on MEXC. This early trading window allows holders of MEXC Spot accounts to buy or sell the token ahead of its full exchange listing, providing investors with a strategic opportunity to secure positions before broader market activity shapes the token’s price. MEXC Pre-Market Access for $BEST MEXC’s Pre-Market Trading is designed to offer early access to tokens that show strong market potential. For $BEST, traders can participate as Makers by setting their preferred price and waiting for a match, or as Takers by instantly filling existing orders. This system creates an early price-discovery process that allows the market to determine value before full liquidity is available. Collateral is required to safeguard transactions. Buyers’ funds are temporarily held to cover purchases, while sellers’ collateral is released upon completion of the trade. By approving $BEST for pre-market trading, MEXC signals confidence in the token and provides a credible path for investors who missed the presale to engage early. Final Hours to Participate in the $BEST Token Presale The $BEST presale has attracted widespread attention, pricing tokens under $0.03 with a total supply of 10 billion. Of these, one billion tokens are reserved for community rewards and airdrops, with over 700 million still available for early participants.

Investors can claim or stake tokens directly through the Best Wallet app, available on Google Play and the Apple App Store.

Morning Minute: Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall

Morning Minute: Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall

The post Morning Minute: Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Morning Minute is a daily newsletter written by Tyler Warner. The analysis and opinions expressed are his own and do not necessarily reflect those of Decrypt. Subscribe to the Morning Minute on Substack. GM! Today’s top news: Crypto majors slightly red; BTC at $86,700 Polymarket cleared to operate in the US by CFTC Kalshi blocked for sports markets in Nevada after injunction removed Texas buys $5M of BTC via IBIT for state level BTC Reserve MON token jumps another 24% to $4.8B FDV, leads all top movers ⚖️ Polymarket Gets the Green Light; Kalshi Hits a Wall Two big regulatory decisions impacting prediction markets just dropped. And they point in completely opposite directions. 📌 What Happened Yesterday, Polymarket received formal approval from the CFTC to operate legally in the United States. It allows Polymarket to bring on U.S. users through regulated intermediaries and broker partners, and offer markets that pass federal risk, suitability, and contract-type tests. This is a full reversal from 2022, when the CFTC fined and effectively exiled Polymarket from serving U.S. customers.# Kalshi, meanwhile, just ran directly into the opposite outcome. Back in April, Kalshi won a preliminary injunction stopping Nevada gaming regulators from enforcing a cease-and-desist order against it. Yesterday, the same federal judge (Andrew Gordon) reversed himself and dissolved that injunction, siding with the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Nevada argued Kalshi’s “event contracts” on sports are just sports bets and require a Nevada gaming license. And election contracts fall under the same category. With the injunction resolved, Nevada can treat Kalshi like any other sportsbook and order them to stop offering sports contracts or face enforcement. This means Kalshi either has to geo-fence Nevada or apply for a Nevada gaming license. So now Polymarket is federally approved, and Kalshi is blocked at the state level.  🗣️ What Are…

Monad Mainnet Launch Prompts Scam Warning From Co-Founder

Monad Mainnet Launch Prompts Scam Warning From Co-Founder

The post Monad Mainnet Launch Prompts Scam Warning From Co-Founder appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Monad developers warn of fake ERC‑20 transfers used in phishing scams, though the network itself remains uncompromised Dubbed a ‘Solana killer’, Monad launched with 250+ projects and nearly 10,000 holders Despite early volatility, the token surged ~100% in 24 hours, reaching a $525 million market cap and $1.36 billion daily volume It’s only been two days since Monad’s mainnet release, and the developers already have a problem on their hands.  Reportedly, scammers are creating fake tokens and defrauding newcomers interested in investing in the nascent blockchain solution. Related: Monad (MON) Surges 42% as Mainnet Launch Goes Live With $105M Airdrop ‘Fake’ Transfers: CTO Explains the Phishing Vector Earlier this week, Monad co-founder and chief technology officer James Hunsaker took to X to warn about emerging scams: “Warning – there are fake ERC-20 transfers pretending to be from my wallet,” he said, before sharing a few links to transactions.  “You can see the txs are not sent by me. ERC-20 is just a token interface standard, it’s easy to write a smart contract that meets that standard but can have address entries which are not authorized by the owner.” Monad is a new Layer‑1 blockchain designed to run Ethereum smart contracts faster and cheaper by processing many transactions in parallel. It promises high throughput, near-instant finality, and low fees, already amassing a thriving community of DeFi, gaming, and other dApp developers. Even though it targets Ethereum users, it is also often described as a ‘Solana killer’ due to its extremely high transaction speeds and low fees. Great Start for Monad Since ERC-20 is only an interface standard, it allows any contract to show logs resembling transfers, even when there are no tokens. According to some researchers, these fake transfers are part of a wider scam campaign aimed at getting people to…
