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.

Real revenue creates sustainable value

Real revenue creates sustainable value

The post Real revenue creates sustainable value appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. If you’ve been in crypto for more than a week, you know the story. A new project launches with a minimal active float. Yet, it immediately commands a market perception of immense, long-term scale, a vast pool of future ownership waiting to enter circulation. For the average investor, this phenomenon has become a serious concern, often signaling a structural overhang of future supply that threatens the immediate health of the asset. Summary When a project has real revenue, strong value-capture, and broad community ownership, a high initial valuation becomes sustainable rather than a liability. Buyback-and-burn creates alignment: Continuous buybacks funded by real fees and permanent burns counter dilution, generate lasting demand, and tie token strength directly to protocol performance. When backed by an actual product and revenue engine, large airdrops decentralize control, create committed stakeholders, and reinforce a long-term, community-aligned economic flywheel. This legacy model, where initial ownership is heavily concentrated, has rightfully earned a bad reputation. But what if we’ve been pointing the finger at the wrong culprit? What if the high valuation isn’t the problem, but merely a symptom of an incomplete economic design? A new, more sustainable paradigm is emerging, proving that a high valuation at launch can be a feature, not a flaw. This model is built on a powerful, self-reinforcing flywheel, and it’s incredibly beneficial for the community. It requires three non-negotiable pillars: A revenue-efficient product with real, intrinsic utility. An aggressive, non-stop value-capture mechanism fueled by that revenue. A large-scale, strategic distribution of ownership to the community. When these three elements work in concert, the structural valuation transforms from a perceived liability into a robust mechanism for sustained ecosystem growth and…

Sui Crypto Gains Attention, But XRP Tundra Delivers Real Yield

Sui Crypto Gains Attention, But XRP Tundra Delivers Real Yield

The post Sui Crypto Gains Attention, But XRP Tundra Delivers Real Yield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sui’s recent recovery has attracted attention from analysts tracking L1 ecosystems heading into the final quarter of 2025. After a turbulent October, the asset stabilized around key support levels and posted multiple short-term gains between early and mid-November.  Rising engagement metrics support the current rebound. Growing DeFi liquidity strengthens the trend. Renewed institutional curiosity gives Sui momentum despite its earlier volatility. At the same time, long-horizon investors have shifted focus toward ecosystems capable of converting network activity into predictable returns. XRP Tundra has emerged as a key beneficiary of this shift.  An institutional acquisition accelerated its launch. A dual‑chain architecture optimizes its throughput. A yield model backed by verifiable revenue strengthens its foundation.  Sui navigates a recovery phase. Tundra consolidates institutional traction through structural clarity and economic discipline. Sui’s Recent Activity Spike Contrasts With Earlier Declines Sui’s current momentum follows a period of declining activity across multiple on-chain indicators. The seven‑day moving average of active addresses has fallen to about 644,000. This marks the lowest level since late 2024. It sits more than 40% below the February 2025 peak of 1.56 million. TVL has also fluctuated, recently stabilizing above $2.6 billion after falling earlier in the quarter. The network’s recent uptick has been supported by several catalysts: A Sui Name Service (SuiNS) airdrop that rewarded early governance participants A surge in DEX activity and new DeFi integrations, including Ethena’s upcoming suiUSDe stablecoin Institutionally aligned interest from ETF issuers and asset managers exploring regulated SUI products Market stabilization following a significant token unlock of nearly 44 million tokens on November 1 These developments have helped Sui regain momentum. However, the ecosystem remains sensitive to broader liquidity conditions and continued supply releases. Tundra’s Dual-Chain Expansion Reinforces Its Long-Term Positioning Tundra’s early traction is rooted in an architecture built to separate governance from…
