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.

How an Alleged Google Insider Made $1 Million on Polymarket

How an Alleged Google Insider Made $1 Million on Polymarket

The post How an Alleged Google Insider Made $1 Million on Polymarket appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Polymarket trader has earned nearly $1 million by placing suspiciously accurate bets on Google’s 2025 Year in Search rankings, sparking heated debate about insider trading on prediction markets. The wallet address “0xafEe” (previously “AlphaRaccoon”) netted nearly $1 million by correctly predicting nearly every outcome in Google search trend markets. Sponsored Sponsored The trader bought “Yes” shares on d4vd, a 20-year-old singer given just a 0.2% chance of being the most searched person of 2025, turning a $10,647 wager into nearly $200,000. The real money came from betting “No” on favorites like Pope Leo XIV, Bianca Censori, and Donald Trump. According to Meta engineer Jeong Haeju, who exposed the situation on X, the trader achieved a 22-for-23 success rate on Google search predictions. Public blockchain data shows the wallet deposited $3 million into Polymarket last Friday and immediately began placing large bets. The same account previously won over $150,000 by correctly predicting the exact Gemini 3.0 Flash release date. “This isn’t a lucky streak. He previously made $150K+ predicting the early release of Gemini 3.0 before results were out. At this point it’s obvious: He’s a Google insider milking Polymarket for quick money,” Haeju said. However, there’s no confirmation that the trader is actually a Google insider. The allegations remain community speculation based on the unusual winning streak. Sponsored Sponsored Insider Trading: Feature or Bug? The incident has divided the crypto community. Some argue that prediction markets are designed specifically for insider trading, creating financial incentives to share privileged information with the market. “The reason for prediction markets to exist is insider trading. In stocks it’s prohibited, with predictions it’s endorsed. It’s designed to be like this,” X user WiiMee said The controversy arises as Polymarket officially relaunched in the United States this week after receiving CFTC approval. The platform…

HumidiFi will relaunch its public sale and airdrop new tokens next Monday, distributing them proportionally to Wetlist and JUP staking users.

HumidiFi will relaunch its public sale and airdrop new tokens next Monday, distributing them proportionally to Wetlist and JUP staking users.

PANews reported on December 5th that DeFi project HumidiFi announced today that its initial public sale was disrupted by bots, preventing ordinary users from participating. The official statement revealed that bots used numerous wallets and smart contract calls to instantly purchase the entire token supply, causing community users to miss out. The HumidiFi team expressed deep regret and promised to launch a new token and conduct a proportional airdrop to Wetlist and JUP staking users, ensuring that bots would not receive any tokens. Furthermore, HumidiFi announced that it will resume its public sale next Monday, using a new smart contract developed with the assistance of the Temporal team. This contract has been audited by osec.io to ensure a fairer participation opportunity. The official statement emphasizes that the project will continue to provide liquidity to the community, fulfilling its promise to "bring liquidity to the people."

Trading Moment: Expectations of the RMB breaking 7 are rising; Bitcoin needs to break 96,000 to confirm a trend reversal.

Trading Moment: Expectations of the RMB breaking 7 are rising; Bitcoin needs to break 96,000 to confirm a trend reversal.

Daily market data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market Observation The US labor market has recently shown conflicting signals. Initial jobless claims unexpectedly fell to 191,000 last week, the lowest level since September of last year, indicating the resilience of the job market; however, continuing claims remain high at 1.94 million, reflecting the structural difficulties faced by the unemployed in finding new jobs. Against this backdrop, market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut at its December 10 meeting have risen to 87% . Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, predicts the Fed may cut rates by 25 basis points. Furthermore, the Fed's quantitative tightening policy has ended, and the market expects a monthly "reserve management purchase" program of approximately $35 billion to begin as early as January next year to supplement liquidity. Although officials emphasize that this is not a new round of quantitative easing, investors still see it as a dovish signal. Meanwhile, the US Treasury market has surpassed $30 trillion for the first time . On the other hand, the Bank of Japan plans to raise interest rates this month , potentially reaching a 28-year high. The RMB has recently benefited from multiple positive factors, including a weakening US dollar, the increased attractiveness of Chinese assets, and strong corporate demand for foreign exchange settlement, resulting in a significant appreciation trend. The market is hotly debating whether it can break the 7.0 mark in the short term. The mainstream view is that the RMB has a high probability of breaking 7.0 in the short term, but some analysts point out that even if it does break 7, its ability to maintain a stable level remains uncertain, and the People's Bank of China may intend to maintain two-way fluctuations in the exchange rate. Furthermore, the US PCE inflation data to be released this Friday will be an important reference for the global economic trend and the Federal Reserve's policy. In the field of artificial intelligence , market competition is intensifying. Moore Threads, hailed as the "first domestically produced GPU stock," saw its share price surge 502% on its first day of trading on the STAR Market , with its market capitalization briefly exceeding 300 billion yuan. A single subscription yielded a profit of nearly 270,000 yuan, demonstrating the capital market's high expectations for the domestic AI chip sector. Moore Threads was founded by the former core team of Nvidia and plans to use the nearly 8 billion yuan raised in its IPO to accelerate the development of a new generation of AI training and push-in integrated chips. Meanwhile, industry giant Nvidia is also facing fierce competition. Founder Jensen Huang stated that he feels the pressure of "being 30 days away from bankruptcy" every day. To counter challenges from competitors such as Google's TPU, Nvidia recently released a technical blog post claiming that its GB200 NVL72 system can improve the performance of top-tier open-source AI models by up to 10 times, and revealed that major cloud service providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are accelerating the deployment of the system. In addition, with $60.6 billion in cash and short-term investments as of the end of October, Nvidia launched a series of large-scale strategic investments, including a $2 billion investment in chip design company Synopsys and a $10 billion investment in Anthropic, to further solidify its AI ecosystem. Bitcoin's price recently encountered resistance and fell back after hitting its yearly opening price of $93,500, raising concerns about its future direction. Analysts believe that Bitcoin needs to break through $96,000 to confirm a trend reversal, with resistance concentrated between $93,500 and $100,000. Material Indicators data shows that if it fails to hold above $93,500, the market could further decline to $68,000. Furthermore, on-chain data shows that the current market structure is similar to the early stages of the bear market in the first quarter of 2022. Glassnode states that a break below the key support level of $81,500 could trigger a deep correction. Analyst CyrilXBT points out that if Bitcoin breaks through the $95,000 to $100,000 area, it will begin a new round of upward movement; otherwise, it could fall to the low $70,000 area. From a technical perspective, a bearish flag pattern targets $68,150, while market liquidation data indicates that approximately $3 billion in cumulative short positions will be liquidated when Bitcoin reaches $96,000, and if it breaks through $100,000, the liquidation scale will exceed $7 billion. However, strong bullish sentiment also exists in the market. Murad, the analyst who proposed the "Meme Supercycle" theory, is highly bullish, believing this bull market will extend to 2026, with Bitcoin reaching a high of $150,000 to $200,000. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicts the price will reach $180,000 by the end of 2026. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink revealed that some sovereign wealth funds are gradually increasing their holdings and establishing long-term positions as Bitcoin's price falls from its high of $126,000 to the $80,000 range. CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost believes that Bitcoin needs to recover to the long-term holders' cost price of approximately $96,956 to stabilize market confidence. JPMorgan Chase also stated that whether Stagety can stabilize is crucial for Bitcoin's short-term trend; if market conditions remain stable, Bitcoin is expected to rise to $170,000 within the next 6-12 months. Ethereum recently broke through the key structural level of $3,200, and analysts are generally optimistic about its future performance, believing that if the momentum continues, Ethereum could see a 20% increase, reaching targets of $3,650 and even $3,900. In terms of specific trading, Cold Blooded Shiller believes the current momentum is biased upwards, and the top area may be slightly above $3,300. Analyst Lennaert Snyder stated that ETH has broken through the $3,230 resistance level, with the next target at $3,440. Analyst Ted pointed out that if ETH breaks through the $3,300-$3,400 range, it could extend to $3,800. CryptoQuant data shows that retail investors are actively accumulating below $2,700; a price drop to $3,000 would trigger $2 billion in liquidations, while a rise to $3,300 would face $700 million in liquidation pressure. In addition, Ethereum officially activated the Fusaka upgrade, reducing L2 gas fees by another 60%. Vitalik emphasized that the PeerDAS technology introduced in the Fusaka upgrade is "true sharding" and a milestone for the network since 2015. Although it is not yet perfect in areas such as L1 scaling, it lays the foundation for the future development of blockchain design. 2.

Will Aster price rise as team completes $80M token burn?

The post Will Aster price rise as team completes $80M token burn? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aster price is tightening into a Bollinger squeeze after the team executed an $80 million token burn and pushed its Stage 4 buyback live. Summary Aster fell to $1.03 as volume declined sharply and derivatives activity cooled across the board. The team completed an $80M token burn and accelerated S4 buybacks, aiming to reduce supply and stabilize conditions. The chart shows a clear volatility squeeze, drifting toward support as momentum indicators weaken. Aster was trading at $1.03 at press time, down 2.7% in the last 24 hours. The token has moved between $0.9007 and $1.12 over the past week, leaving it 5% lower on the seven-day window and still 57% below its September all-time high of $2.41.
