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.

These Altcoins Are Perfect Hedges Against Donald Trump’s 100% Tariffs On China

These Altcoins Are Perfect Hedges Against Donald Trump’s 100% Tariffs On China

The post These Altcoins Are Perfect Hedges Against Donald Trump’s 100% Tariffs On China appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Analysts highlight Aster, Kaspa (KAS), and PayDax (PDP) as top altcoin hedges amid Trump’s proposed 100% China tariffs As Donald Trump’s 155% China tariffs prepare to take effect on November 1st, the entire altcoin market braces for impact. The last China tariff announcement by President Donald Trump triggered one of the largest liquidation waves in crypto history. Billions vanished overnight. This time, the shock could be even worse. But amid the anxiety, a few altcoins are being called “hedges” against the incoming market chaos: ASTER, KASPA (KAS), and PayDax (PDP). Yet, a closer look at these potential hedges shows a clear separation, with PayDax standing as the only altcoin structurally shielded from the coming storm. Why ASTER And KASPA (KAS) Are Shaky “Hedges” In A Volatile Market Despite a mild market recovery after Donald Trump’s initial China tariffs announcement, ASTER’s chart shows a steep decline; down over 50% in 30 days and 14.8% in the past 24 hours. Analysts tracking ASTER and KASPA (KAS) hint at a reversal setup, but with ASTER’s downtrend line still firmly intact, this “reversal” looks more like wishful thinking. KASPA (KAS), while being praised by enthusiasts as a “fundamentally strong” altcoin, mirrors ASTER’s struggles. Despite past gains, it remains stuck in accumulation after a 33% monthly drop. Moreover, once Donald Trump’s China tariffs hit, liquidity could vanish fast, and proof-of-work altcoins like KASPA (KAS) usually face the hardest sell pressure. As ASTER and KASPA (KAS) struggle with falling charts, PayDax (PDP), through its tiered presale, quietly offers what they don’t: stability. The Altcoins Built For Perfect Hedging Against The Donald Trump China Tariff Era Unlike hyped hedges like ASTER and KASPA (KAS), PayDax (PDP) stands apart as the only altcoin not exposed to exchange volatility. With its presale price locked at $0.015, it…

Polymarket CMO Confirms Incoming POLY Airdrop

Polymarket CMO Confirms Incoming POLY Airdrop

The post Polymarket CMO Confirms Incoming POLY Airdrop appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Polymarket is on the verge of launching its native token, dubbed POLY. According to Matthew Modabber, the company’s CMO, an airdrop distribution model will be adopted. Polymarket is gaining traction amongst investors with VC funding. Polymarket, a top prediction platform, is preparing to launch a native token with the ticker POLY. According to the firm’s Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Matthew Modabber, the launch of the POLY token will come with an airdrop. It is worth noting that Polymarket has been gaining significant traction among investors in recent times. Polymarket Investing Effort and Time Into POLY As revealed by the CMO, Polymarket has plans to launch a native POLY token which will be followed by an airdrop. This comes on the heels of the broader prediction market’s trading boom and the rise in investors’ interest. At the beginning of October, Shayne Coplan, the company’s founder, hinted at the possible launch of the POLY token. On October 23, Modabber confirmed this information during an interview on the Degenz Live podcast. He claimed that Polymarket carefully took its time before talking about the launch of POLY because of how thorough the team wanted to be about it. The CMO claimed that the focus of the platform is to push out a token with true utility and longevity, adding that they plan to have POLY around forever. “That’s what we expect from ourselves, and that’s what I think everyone in the space expects from us,” Modabber said during the interview. Polymarket Prioritizes US App Launch Another reason why Polymarket refused to rush the roll-out of POLY is its focus on its United States app launch. “Why rush a token if we need to prioritize the U.S. app, right?” Modabber said. Last month, Coplan confirmed that the platform received approval to go live…

Polymarket CMO confirms POLY token and airdrop plans amid U.S. relaunch

The post Polymarket CMO confirms POLY token and airdrop plans amid U.S. relaunch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polymarket Chief Marketing Officer Matthew Modabber confirmed the prediction market platform will launch a native POLY token and accompanying airdrop following the company’s planned U.S. app rollout.  Speaking on the Degenz Live podcast, Modabber said the project’s leadership has been deliberate in timing the token release to ensure “true utility, longevity, and permanence.”  His remarks followed earlier hints from founder Shayne Coplan, who suggested a token launch was in progress in a post on X. Polymarket’s renewed U.S. focus comes after regulators permitted the firm to resume operations in the country, which had been suspended in 2022 amid legal uncertainty.  “Why rush a token if we need to prioritize the U.S. app?” Modabber said, emphasizing that the airdrop and broader token rollout would follow once the relaunch is complete. The confirmation solidifies months of speculation that Polymarket would reward its most active users. Community members anticipate allocations based on trading volume, a model similar to those used by decentralized exchanges and derivatives protocols.  Modabber, on the podcast, praised the Hyperliquid team and noted that teams that take the right approach will be around “forever.” He added that his team is focused on a successful launch focused on longevity.Bloomberg previously reported that Polymarket is pursuing new funding that could value the firm as high as $15 billion, following earlier investments by Intercontinental Exchange and Founders Fund.
