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.

Hyperliquid Lists Monad Perpetuals Ahead of Airdrop With Nearly $13B Valuation

Hyperliquid Lists Monad Perpetuals Ahead of Airdrop With Nearly $13B Valuation

The post Hyperliquid Lists Monad Perpetuals Ahead of Airdrop With Nearly $13B Valuation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hyperliquid, the decentralized perpetuals exchange, announced Wednesday that it has listed MON-USD hyperps, allowing traders to go long or short the token in a pre-market phase. MON is the native token of Monad, a Layer 1 blockchain designed to be fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) — a feature that makes it easier for developers to migrate their applications from Ethereum. Both Hyperliquid’s announcement and Monad’s recent posts suggest that an airdrop may be imminent, with the project’s official teasing their “airdrop claim loading” feature reaching 98% on Oct. 8, according to Monad’s latest update on X. Based on trading in the MON-USD hyperp, priced near $0.13, Monad’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) stands at approximately $13 billion, with 100 billion MON tokens expected to be distributed through the airdrop. The new MON market has already seen strong activity, recording $28 million in trading volume over the past 24 hours on the decentralized exchange.

Could the US have more crypto tax benefits? A quick look at the latest Senate crypto tax hearing.

Could the US have more crypto tax benefits? A quick look at the latest Senate crypto tax hearing.

On October 1, 2025, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee held a hearing titled "Examining the Taxation of Digital Assets," chaired by Committee Chairman Mike Crapo. Participants included representatives from policy research, legal practice, trading platforms, and industry associations. Considering the evolution of U.S. digital asset tax policy and the current state of the crypto tax system, this meeting served as both a focused expression of existing industry demands and a reflection of future regulatory trends. The findings from the discussions on key topics such as digital asset reporting obligations, cost basis determination, and tax treatment will serve as important references for subsequent regulatory rulemaking and congressional legislation. 1. Broad Topics: An Overview of Views from All Sides of the Hearing 1. Small tax exemption Topic: Current tax laws require taxpayers to track and report all digital asset transaction gains. Should a tax-free threshold be established for low-value transactions (e.g., under $200) similar to the provisions of Section 988 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code regarding foreign currency transactions? Main points: Jason Somensatto (Coin Center) pointed out that crypto payments are treated as assets for tax purposes, forcing users to calculate cost basis and capital gains every time they purchase goods or pay fees, making it almost impossible to manage. He believes that introducing a de minimis tax exemption would make crypto assets viable for retail payments, arguing that a mature framework for foreign currency transactions already exists and extending its application would not weaken the tax system. Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): From a compliance perspective, Coinbase processes billions of microtransactions annually. Calculating revenue on a transaction-by-transaction basis would prevent both the platform and its users from meeting disclosure requirements. He believes establishing thresholds is a necessary step to reduce friction in the system. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): She opposed the proposal from a legal consistency perspective, noting that IRC §61 explicitly states that "income from all sources" is taxable, and that exemptions must have a clear legal basis. She expressed concern that small exemptions could become a channel for tax avoidance, as tax authorities would have difficulty distinguishing between split transactions and actual payments. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Senator): Adding to the fiscal impact, she believes that large-scale exemptions could result in billions of dollars in lost revenue, which is equivalent to an implicit subsidy to the crypto industry. Mike Crapo (Chairman): I believe the core of the problem lies in enforceability rather than concept, and we should study technical solutions that can both reduce the compliance burden and prevent circumvention. 2. Taxation timing for mining and staking rewards Topic: Current IRS guidance (Notice 2014-21) stipulates that income from virtual currency mining should be included in income "when acquired." With the increasing prevalence of staking mechanisms, the question of whether this should be adjusted to tax upon disposition has become a hot topic. Main points: Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): Advocates for deferred taxation, noting that most staking reward tokens have no secondary market or liquidity when acquired, and that immediate taxation would create “phantom income” and violate the spirit of the tax law’s realization principle. Jason Somensatto (Coin Center): Added that the value of staking rewards fluctuates wildly, and the IRS lacks the ability to determine a valuation, making taxing them at the time of receipt neither fair nor workable. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): Citing IRC § 451 and related precedent, she emphasized that a taxable event occurs when a taxpayer acquires complete dominance and control. She argues that deferring taxation creates new timing arbitrage opportunities. Annette Nellen (AICPA): A technical compromise solution is proposed, in which the Ministry of Finance can establish a "safe harbor" to determine the tax payment time based on the liquidity and lock-up period of the token and require disclosure. Sen. Bill Cassidy, Sen. Hassan: Inquiring whether the IRS can objectively judge liquidity, the answer was that the industry could provide price sources and locked position data. 3. Information reporting and broker definition Topic: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA, 2021) requires "broker-dealers" to report digital asset transaction information to the IRS, but the Treasury Department's proposed rules include DeFi protocols, non-custodial wallets, and code developers, sparking controversy. Main points: Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): Coinbase supports third-party reporting, but if the definition is too broad, the IRS will receive a flood of noisy data and be unable to identify true risks. He suggested starting with custodial platforms and then gradually expanding. Jason Somensatto (Coin Center): From a constitutional and privacy perspective, I believe that requiring decentralized protocols to report goes beyond the authorization of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and violates the protection of the Fourth Amendment. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): Emphasizes that regulatory targets should focus on intermediaries that can control the flow of funds, otherwise the implementation costs will be too high. Sen. Maggie Hassan: She believes that without widespread reporting, the IRS will not be able to establish a traceability system, and the risk of tax base loss will be greater. Ron Wyden (Ranking Member): The summary states that Congress needs to find a new line between transparency and enforceability. 4. Wash sale rules and tax avoidance risks Topic: Current wash sale rules apply to securities but not digital assets. Investors can create losses and deduct taxes by quickly selling and then buying back. Main points: Sen. Chuck Grassley: Suggests that rules should be extended to digital assets to prevent abuse. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): noted that the high volatility of the crypto market makes tax harvesting more likely to occur, and that expanding the rules is a necessary step to maintain fairness. Annette Nellen (AICPA): She believes that digital asset transaction records are transparent and technically traceable, and therefore this rule is also applicable. Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): We remind you to assess the market impact and that forcing a delay in the repurchase period could weaken liquidity. Jason Somensatto (Coin Center): Added that if the rules are expanded, the IRS needs to publish both calculation and reporting guidance to avoid implementation confusion. 5. Mark-to-Market Pricing and Valuation Issue: Should actively traded digital assets be subject to a mark-to-market system, such as IRC §475 or §1256, to increase transparency and reduce deferrals? Main points: Annette Nellen (AICPA): Supports expansion, arguing that mark-to-market pricing can eliminate valuation lags and improve tax matching; recommends limiting it to assets with high liquidity and publicly available price sources. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): I believe that it can be implemented first at the institutional investor level, and then promoted after observing the implementation effect. Ron Wyden (Ranking Member): We are concerned about whether the IRS can establish an authoritative price source database. Nellen promised that the AICPA can assist the industry in jointly developing it. 6. Stablecoins and payment compliance Topic content: Stablecoins are frequently used in payments and settlements. Should capital gains tax be exempted for small payments? Main points: Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): He believes that stablecoins have minimal price fluctuations and it is unreasonable to tax them as property. Exemptions will help promote compliant payments. Jason Somensatto (Coin Center): In addition, circumvention can be prevented through limits and transaction record requirements. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Va.) expressed concern that the exemption could be used to split large amounts of money and weaken reporting obligations. Mike Crapo (Chairman): We suggest exploring a low-risk transaction exception to balance enforceability and compliance. 7. Charitable donations and evaluation Topic: Under current rules, taxpayers who donate digital assets must submit a qualified appraisal. Should this requirement be exempted, similar to securities donations? Main points: Annette Nellen (AICPA): pointed out that actively traded assets already have public prices, and repeated evaluations are meaningless, so evaluations should be exempted to reduce costs. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): I agree with the suggestion, but emphasize that illiquid assets still need to be evaluated to prevent valuation manipulation. Sen. Debbie Stabenow: Expressed support for Congress to study standardized valuation mechanisms to balance transparency and compliance efficiency. 8. Safe Harbor System Design Topic: Senators and witnesses repeatedly discussed the need for a "Safe Harbor" mechanism, designed to provide predictable and actionable compliance boundaries for specific transactions or behaviors. Participants agreed that the digital asset sector presents a high degree of technical complexity and valuation uncertainty, making it difficult to directly apply traditional standards to existing rules. Safe Harbor could serve as a transitional mechanism for institutional implementation. Main points: Annette Nellen (AICPA): She has repeatedly emphasized the "operability function" of the safe harbor. She believes that in the areas of staking and mining rewards, the safe harbor should clarify the timing of taxation: If the token liquidity is insufficient or there is a lock-up period, the revenue recognition can be delayed; If the tokens are immediately tradable, then the income is maintained. She also suggested creating safe harbors in the area of borrowing and source rules to allow taxpayers to determine whether a transfer is taxable. Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): He advocates for the establishment of a safe harbor for digital asset lending, similar to IRC §1058, which clarifies the tax exemption for "transfers not for sale." He noted that the IRS currently lacks a clear definition of crypto lending, leading some loans to be mistakenly considered disposals. The safe harbor would help maintain market liquidity without sacrificing tax transparency. Jason Somensatto (Coin Center): He supports the introduction of a limited safe harbor for reporting and compliance, and recommends that the Treasury Department allow a technical transition period when implementing the new reporting system (1099-DA) to avoid misclassifying non-custodial wallets or parties to agreements as brokers. He emphasized that the safe harbor should be a "compliance incentive" rather than a permanent exemption. Andrea S. Kramer (ASKramer Law): While acknowledging the operational feasibility of the safe harbor, she cautioned that its scope must be strictly limited, otherwise it would effectively become an industry exemption. She suggested clarifying termination conditions, reporting obligations, and information disclosure requirements during its formulation. Mike Crapo (Chairman): In summary, the safe harbor mechanism may be an "institutional buffer" to achieve a balance between taxation and compliance, and should be further discussed in the legislative process, especially for the application scenarios of emerging assets and hybrid transaction structures. 9. International competition and cross-border rules Topic: Does an uncertain tax framework weaken the US's position in the global digital asset competition? How to define the source and taxation rights in cross-border pledges and lending? Main points: Sen. Cynthia Lummis: Pointed out that regulatory ambiguity has prompted companies to move to the European Union and Asia, and asked the Treasury Department and IRS to speed up the clarification of the system. Lawrence Zlatkin (Coinbase): What companies that need additional compliance most is regulatory certainty; otherwise, they will be forced to relocate their businesses. Jason Somensatto (Coin Center): I believe a stable tax system is a prerequisite for attracting long-term investment. Annette Nellen (AICPA): It is suggested that unclear source rules for cross-border pledges and loans may lead to double taxation and should be aligned with OECD guidelines. Ron Wyden (Ranking Member): The summary states that the Finance Committee's task is to maintain both competitiveness and the integrity of the tax base. II. Background Review: The Evolution of the U.S. Crypto Tax System In recent years, as the scale of digital asset transactions has continued to expand, the attention and scrutiny of US tax authorities has intensified. A 2024 report by the Internal Revenue Service's Inspector General (TIGTA) noted that IRS tax assessments in income tax audits involving digital asset transactions had increased from approximately $508,000 in fiscal year 2022 to over $12.2 million by May 2023. This trend not only demonstrates the increasing importance of digital assets in taxpayers' economic activities but also highlights the pressures facing the current tax system in adapting to this emerging asset class. In line with the expansion of the digital asset market, US tax policy has evolved over time, not overnight. Since first defining virtual currencies as property in 2014, the IRS has issued regulations addressing hard forks, airdrops, information disclosure, and broker-dealer reporting obligations, gradually establishing a framework for addressing these emerging assets. To date, the US crypto tax system has formed a relatively comprehensive system based on existing regulations. Qualitatively, virtual currencies are considered property (Notice 2014-21), requiring the calculation of cost and fair value for sale, exchange, or daily consumption, and the recognition of capital gains or losses. On the income side, mining, staking rewards, airdrops, and other items are considered ordinary income and included in current income when earned. If considered as a business activity, they may also trigger self-employment tax. Regarding information reporting, the 2021 IIJA included digital assets in the broker-dealer reporting system. In 2024, the Treasury Department and the IRS introduced Form 1099-DA, requiring the reporting of total transaction amounts starting in 2025 and expanding to cost basis and profit and loss in 2026. It is important to note that the reporting of large digital asset receipts under Form 8300 (§6050I) remains suspended. In terms of preferential treatment and exceptions, long-term holdings can enjoy a lower capital gains tax rate, and qualified charitable donations can be deducted, but there is no small tax exemption policy (de minimis) similar to foreign currency transactions, and wash sale rules have not yet been extended to digital assets. Overall, the US digital asset tax system has evolved from an early vacuum to the establishment of a property-based approach, followed by the gradual expansion of rules, enhanced information disclosure, and the implementation of a broker-dealer system. For over a decade, the IRS has continuously responded to emerging crypto market trends such as forks, airdrops, mining, and payments, while Congress established the legislative basis for broker-dealer reporting through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. These changes have gradually brought digital assets from marginalized, shady transactions into the mainstream tax framework, but have also brought with them practical challenges such as increased compliance burdens and unclear institutional boundaries. On the one hand, the Treasury Department and the IRS have pushed for the implementation of 1099-DA reporting rules, sparking heated debate in the process. The question of whether some non-custodial entities should be subject to "broker-dealer" obligations remains unresolved. On the other hand, proposals within Congress, such as a "small amount tax exemption" and the extension of the "wash sale rule" to digital assets, or public comment solicitations, indicate that lawmakers are seeking a balance between expanding the tax base and reducing the burden. This hearing is both a response to the past decade's institutional evolution and a prelude to the future direction of crypto taxation. 3. Potential Impact: Will the US Crypto Market Welcome Better Tax Policies? This hearing was not only a profound technical discussion but also a strategic dialogue on the position of digital assets in the US tax system. Behind these specific topics—small-value payment exemptions, the taxation timing of staking and mining, the boundaries of information reporting, and the scope of wash sale rules and mark-to-market—are three deeper contradictions: Innovation vs. Fairness: The industry hopes to reduce compliance costs and tax uncertainty to promote the implementation of new models such as payment, lending and pledge; policymakers are worried about excessive concessions that will undermine the consistency of the tax system and fiscal fairness. Transparency vs. Privacy: The IRS requires third-party reporting to understand the true transaction network, while the industry and some lawmakers worry that attempts to expand this to DeFi and non-custodial entities may not be technically feasible and erode user privacy. United States vs. the World: If U.S. rules remain vague for a long time, capital and innovation will shift to Europe and Asia; lawmakers reminded that the United States cannot pursue "competitiveness" at the expense of its tax base and fiscal stability. From a policy perspective, in the short term, Congress may engage in further consultations on highly controversial issues such as small-value payment exemptions, the timing of pledge taxation, and lending safe harbors. In the medium term, whether wash sale rules and mark-to-market pricing are extended to digital assets will be the key to filling tax loopholes. In the long term, the reconstruction of the broker definition and information reporting framework will determine whether the IRS will obtain an enforceable digital asset compliance system or continue to vacillate between insufficient data and limited law enforcement. It's foreseeable that the US digital asset tax system is at the intersection of patchwork repairs and systemic restructuring. While this hearing may not lead to a legislative breakthrough, it will certainly bring core contradictions to the fore. In the coming years, how the US finds a sustainable balance between expanding its tax base and supporting innovation will not only influence the direction of its own tax governance but also shape the path of compliance in the global crypto market.

XRP en Solana krijgen alle aandacht, maar SpacePay maakt zich klaar om de winnaar van de cyclus te worden

XRP en Solana krijgen alle aandacht, maar SpacePay maakt zich klaar om de winnaar van de cyclus te worden

i Kennisgeving: Dit artikel bevat inzichten van onafhankelijke auteurs en valt buiten de redactionele verantwoordelijkheid van BitcoinMagazine.nl. De informatie is bedoeld ter educatie en reflectie. Dit is geen financieel advies. Doe zelf onderzoek voordat je financiële beslissingen neemt. Crypto is zeer volatiel er zitten kansen en risicos aan deze investering. Je kunt je inleg verliezen. Ripple en Solana zijn tegenwoordig het gesprek van de dag en dat is helemaal niet vreemd. Binnenkort wordt namelijk bepaald of de eerste ETF’s gelanceerd mogen worden voor deze altcoins. Dat is een grote stap richting de bredere acceptatie vanuit traditionele beleggers. Een ETF maakt het voor deze investeerders immers net zo makkelijk om geld in crypto te steken als in aandelen. Tussen 18 en 25 oktober zal bekend gemaakt worden of de ETF’s er komen. De kans op groen licht wordt momenteel erg hoog ingeschat. Grote asset managers hebben de SOL en XRP ETF’s aangevraagd, zoals Grayscale en Franklin Templeton. Worden de ETF’s goedgekeurd, dan kan dat miljarden aan nieuw kapitaal naar de crypto sector brengen en de prijzen flink omhoog stuwen. Ondertussen komt ook SpacePay steeds meer onder de aandacht. Terwijl XRP en SOL momenteel zich richten op traditionele beleggers, wil dit platform de daadwerkelijke adoptie van crypto in het dagelijks leven versnellen. SpacePay: crypto gebruiken alsof het gewoon geld is De presale van SpacePay (SPY) verloopt opvallend goed. Er is inmiddels meer dan $ 1,3 miljoen opgehaald, tegen een prijs van $ 0,003181 per SPY coin. Dat is een indrukwekkend resultaat voor een nieuw project. Het idee achter SpacePay is eenvoudig maar krachtig. In plaats van een compleet nieuw betalingssysteem te bouwen, maakt het project slim gebruik van bestaande technologie. SpacePay werkt namelijk met meer dan 325 bestaande crypto wallets en koppelt direct aan betaalterminals die winkels nu al gebruiken. Met andere woorden: je kunt straks gewoon met je favoriete crypto wallet betalen aan de kassa, net als met je pinpas. Zonder ingewikkelde nieuwe apps of aparte hardware. Dat maakt het systeem erg toegankelijk voor consumenten én winkeliers. Die praktische insteek is precies wat de crypto sector nodig heeft. Veel projecten beloven vernieuwing, maar blijven hangen in theorie. SpacePay richt zich op iets wat mensen meteen kunnen gebruiken: betalen met cryptomunten op een eenvoudige en veilige manier. Lage kosten en snelle afhandeling SpacePay biedt duidelijke voordelen voor zowel klanten als bedrijven. De transactiekosten bedragen slechts 0,5%. Dat is aanzienlijk minder dan de 2 à 3 procent die creditcardmaatschappijen vaak rekenen. Voor winkeliers betekent dat directe besparingen en hogere marges. Daarnaast worden betalingen onmiddellijk verwerkt. Waar traditionele systemen soms dagen doen over een overboeking, is het geld bij SpacePay meteen beschikbaar. Ondernemers hoeven niet te wachten tot een betaling wordt vrijgegeven. En de klanten ervaren het als een naadloze, snelle betaalervaring. SpacePay combineert in feite het gemak van moderne fintech met de kracht van blockchaintechnologie, zonder dat gebruikers daar iets van hoeven te merken. Bescherming tegen koersschommelingen Een veelgehoord bezwaar tegen cryptobetalingen is de volatiliteit van koersen. Bedrijven willen geen risico lopen dat de waarde van hun ontvangen cryptomunten binnen een uur daalt. SpacePay pakt dat slim aan met een ingebouwde stabilisatiefunctie. Zodra een betaling plaatsvindt, wordt het bedrag direct vastgezet. De winkelier ontvangt het juiste bedrag in euro’s of dollars, ongeacht wat de cryptokoers op dat moment doet. Deze aanpak haalt een belangrijke drempel weg voor adoptie. Voor het eerst kunnen bedrijven cryptomunten accepteren zonder zich zorgen te maken over plotselinge waardedalingen. Voordelen voor holders van SPY coins Naast de praktische toepassingen biedt SpacePay ook voordelen voor wie SPY coins bezit. Holders ontvangen loyaliteitsbeloningen, zoals maandelijkse airdrops voor de meest actieve wallets. Ook krijgen ze stemrecht over de ontwikkeling van het platform en vroegtijdige toegang tot nieuwe functies. Daarnaast wordt een deel van de inkomsten gedeeld met holders van SPY coins en donaties aan goede doelen worden verdubbeld. Er is veel aandacht voor transparantie en het vertrouwen binnen de gebruikersgroep. Daarom organiseert het team elk kwartaal een webinar waarin plannen, resultaten en toekomstige ontwikkelingen worden besproken. De bedoeling van deze voordelen is dat de deelnemers betrokken blijven en hun SPY coins niet snel verkopen, zodat de stabiliteit van het project gewaarborgd blijft. Snel groeiend project met erkenning SpacePay heeft in korte tijd een uitstekende reputatie opgebouwd. Nog vóór de publieke presale haalde het project al meer dan $ 750.000 op bij particuliere investeerders. Ook won het de titel ‘New Payment Platform of the Year’ bij de CorporateLiveWire Global Awards 2022/23. De innovatiekracht van SpacePay wordt dus door experts erkend en dat is een mooie opsteker. De eerste werkende versie van het systeem is inmiddels afgerond en de technologie is beschermd met intellectueel eigendom. SpacePay voldoet aan internationale regelgeving, waardoor het wereldwijd kan opereren met de focus op duurzame groei in plaats van snelle winst. Klaar voor wereldwijde adoptie SpacePay richt zich dan ook niet op één regio of specifieke doelgroep, maar op de wereldmarkt. Het systeem is ontworpen om overal te werken, zowel in fysieke winkels als online. Omdat het aansluit op bestaande kassasystemen hoeven bedrijven geen dure nieuwe apparatuur aan te schaffen en is de overstap heel gemakkelijk. Ook voor gebruikers is de overstap eenvoudig. SpacePay ondersteunt honderden wallets, waardoor de meeste mensen meteen aan de slag kunnen. Dit soort compatibiliteit is zeldzaam in de crypto sector, maar essentieel voor echte massale adoptie. Crypto kan alleen mainstream worden als het overal even makkelijk werkt. SpacePay lijkt dat goed te begrijpen en bouwt bruggen tussen blockchain en het dagelijks leven. Meedoen aan de presale van SPY De presale loopt nog. De SPY coins zijn voorlopig nog verkrijgbaar tegen een lage instapprijs. Iedereen met een wallet zoals MetaMask kan deelnemen. Betalen kan met ETH, BNB, MATIC, AVAX, USDC, USDT of een bankpas. Wie vroeg instapt, profiteert van de laagste prijs en kan meeliften op de groei zodra de adoptie verder toeneemt. Naarmate meer winkels en gebruikers SpacePay gaan gebruiken, kan de vraag naar SPY flink gaan stijgen. De belangstelling groeit snel. Steeds meer investeerders stappen in voordat de volgende ronde van de presale de prijs verder verhoogt.

Polymarket hint op lancering van POLY-token na miljardeninvestering van ICE

Polymarket hint op lancering van POLY-token na miljardeninvestering van ICE

Connect met Like-minded Crypto Enthusiasts! Connect op Discord! Check onze Discord   De oprichter van Polymarket, Shayne Coplan, heeft via X een mogelijke lancering van een eigen token aangekondigd. In een korte maar veelbesproken post noemde hij het woord “$POLY” naast grote namen als Bitcoin, Ethereum en Solana. De timing is opvallend: Polymarket kreeg deze week een investering van 2 miljard dollar van Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), het moederbedrijf van de New York Stock Exchange. Speculatie over nieuw token De post voedt de speculatie dat Polymarket een eigen token wil uitbrengen om het ecosysteem verder uit te bouwen. Het platform, dat voorspellingen over politiek, sport en markten mogelijk maakt, is sinds 2020 uitgegroeid tot een van de grootste spelers in zijn categorie. Volgens gegevens van The Block is er inmiddels voor ruim 19 miljard dollar aan volume verhandeld. In eerdere documenten van moederbedrijf Blockratize werden al “andere warrants” genoemd, wat door analisten werd gezien als een mogelijke voorbode van een tokenlancering. Ook in 2024 verschenen al hints op sociale media dat actieve gebruikers in aanmerking konden komen voor een beloning of airdrop. $BTC$ETH$BNB$SOL$POLY https://t.co/HmMobU6nBh — Shayne Coplan (@shayne_coplan) October 8, 2025 Sterke groei en institutionele steun voor Polymarket De aandacht voor Polymarket neemt toe sinds het bedrijf grote investeerders aantrekt. Na eerdere financieringsrondes van Founders Fund en andere durfkapitalisten bereikte de waardering van Polymarket dit jaar 9 miljard dollar. De instap van ICE bevestigt volgens marktvolgers dat voorspellingmarkten niet langer een niche zijn, maar een volwaardige beleggingscategorie aan het worden zijn. Polymarket verwerkt dagelijks tientallen miljoenen aan transacties en heeft inmiddels meer dan 1,35 miljoen actieve handelaren. Onder hen bevinden zich steeds vaker professionele beleggers, die de markten gebruiken om economische of politieke trends te meten.

Daarmee zou het platform dezelfde richting opgaan als andere gedecentraliseerde handelsprotocollen zoals dYdX. Een token kan ook worden gebruikt om liquiditeit te stimuleren of om actieve handelaren een deel van de winst terug te geven. Volgens analisten zou een eventuele airdrop een van de grootste ooit kunnen worden. Polymarket heeft meer dan een miljoen geregistreerde accounts, wat betekent dat zelfs een kleine distributie per gebruiker grote impact kan hebben op de markt. @Polymarket CEO hints about $POLY Many thought they will do IPO Now looks like crypto token as he place $POLY along with $BTC etc Start interacting https://t.co/IlHLrLU0hk ✅Login with wallet ✅Set up account ✅Load fund ✅Start predicting ✅Similar to @trylimitless… https://t.co/2mQ7uBGv9i pic.twitter.com/Tndu52Acqx — CryptoTelugu (@CryptoTeluguO) October 9, 2025 Nog geen officiële bevestiging Tot nu toe heeft Polymarket geen details vrijgegeven over een mogelijke lancering, timing of toewijzing van tokens. CEO Coplan, die door Bloomberg werd uitgeroepen tot de jongste selfmade miljardair, houdt de verwachtingen bewust in het midden. De combinatie van nieuwe investeringen, toenemende activiteit en aanhoudende geruchten maakt dat Polymarket voorlopig in de belangstelling blijft. Zodra Polymarket het plan bevestigt, kan de volgende grote airdrop-rally losbarsten.

DDC Insights: Beyond Custody, How Wallets Are Becoming the Super Entry Point of Web3

DDC Insights: Beyond Custody, How Wallets Are Becoming the Super Entry Point of Web3

On August 26, 2025, MetaMask announced that users can now log into their wallets with options like Google or Apple accounts. For years, crypto wallets have relied on 12-word seed phrases for setup and access. To keep them secure, these words couldn’t be copied or screenshotted, forcing users to write them down manually. While effective for security, this process has long been a barrier for mainstream adoption. MetaMask’s latest update, though small in appearance, sends a clear signal: wallets are starting to borrow Web2-style onboarding to make Web3 more accessible. The evolution of wallets makes this move feel less like an experiment and more like the next step in a broader trend. What began as simple tools for storing and transferring crypto soon expanded into gateways for dApps. Later, they became integral to decentralized identity and reputation systems. Each stage has pushed the boundaries of what a wallet can do, and the shift toward easier login methods is another piece of that ongoing transformation. Crypto Wallets: The Gateway to Assets From the very beginning, one of crypto’s core principles has been personal sovereignty and disintermediation. Instead of relying on banks or centralized platforms to safeguard their assets, users demand direct ownership and full control. This principle has shaped the first-order requirement of the crypto ecosystem: self-custody. To make self-custody possible, crypto needed a reliable tool to manage assets and handle interactions — signing transactions, receiving funds, checking balances. This is how crypto wallets came into existence. According to CoinLaw’s report Cryptocurrency Wallet Adoption Statistics 2025, there are now over 820 million active crypto wallets worldwide. Hot wallets account for 78% of them, and more than 31 million wallets are used for daily payments. The same report projects that by 2029, the crypto wallet market will expand to $57.61 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 31.9%, representing a fourfold increase in size compared to 2024. Within the crypto wallet space, a few names stand out: MetaMask: the most widely used wallet globally, with an estimated 140 million users and over 30 million monthly active users (MAU). Ledger: the leading hardware wallet brand, which reports more than 7 million devices sold, securing roughly 20% of global crypto assets. Whether hot or cold, single-chain or multi-chain, wallets have fundamentally developed as “asset containers” and “transaction tools”. At this stage, their primary goal has been straightforward: secure custody and seamless transfer of digital assets. But the industry focus is shifting. Once driven by the expansion of public blockchains, attention has now turned to lowering barriers to use. On one hand, as MetaMask has demonstrated, onboarding is being “Web2-ified”, replacing seed phrases with more familiar login flows to reduce friction and security anxiety. On the other hand, the transfer and payment experience is being simplified through stablecoin compliance, QR-code payments, social account transfers, and even integration with offline POS systems. Each of these steps narrows the gap between “crypto assets” and everyday payments. Still, asset management and payments, while critical, are no longer the full picture. With the rise of Ethereum, smart contracts, and especially dApps, crypto assets are now designed to interact with far more complex systems, from contract calls and DeFi participation to governance voting. A wallet, therefore, can no longer remain just a static vault. It must become the gateway to the decentralized ecosystem. Crypto Wallets: The Gateway to Applications Not long ago, DDC posted a tweet asking: “What do you think wallets are really the gateway to?” Almost every reply pointed to the same answer: dApps. With the rise of Ethereum and smart contracts, DeFi quickly became the most popular and most frequently used application in crypto. This was soon followed by waves of innovation, like NFTs, GameFi, SocialFi, and more. In step with this shift, wallets expanded from being mere asset containers to becoming application gateways. Users were no longer just storing or transferring assets. They now needed to interact with contracts, farm liquidity, trade NFTs, and participate in DAO governance. To support these behaviors, wallets began evolving in two distinct directions: Login Identity: From the early days of simple address mapping to innovations like ENS domains and DID systems, wallets have become the account layer for users entering dApps. Today, almost every dApp begins with a familiar button: “Connect Wallet”. All interactions within those dApps, along with any assets acquired, such as NFT items, are then bound to the wallet address. Application Aggregation: In the past, users had to find a dApp’s standalone website and connect through a browser extension wallet. Now, wallets themselves are evolving into aggregation platforms, streamlining the entire process. Open a wallet today, and you can execute swaps, bridges, staking, or GameFi “gold farming” directly inside it — no extra tabs required. Many wallets also feature built-in dApp marketplaces, letting users discover and access DeFi, NFT, or GameFi applications all in one place. As the Web3 application ecosystem expands, users are no longer satisfied with fragmented entry points. Instead, they expect the wallet itself to become a comprehensive operations hub. In other words, the wallet’s job is no longer just to answer “Can I connect?” but also “How can I connect faster, more smoothly, and with richer features?” This is why dApp aggregation, built-in interactions, and even bundled DeFi and cross-chain functions are emerging as the core selling points of the next generation of wallets. Quietly but decisively, wallets are shifting their role, from simple connectors to full-fledged distribution centers within the Web3 ecosystem. According to WalletConnect’s official figures, the project now supports over 50 million unique active wallets, has facilitated more than 350 million connections, and enables login across 70,000+ applications. Meanwhile, CoinLaw reports that about 48% of crypto wallets worldwide have interacted with a dApp at least once. Global Growth Insights, in its Crypto Wallet Market Size, Share, Growth, and Industry Analysis, By Types (Hot Wallets, Cold Wallets) , Applications (Commercial, Individual) and Regional Insights and Forecast to 2033, further notes that over 41% of newly launched wallets already come with DeFi integration and cross-chain compatibility. Taken together, these numbers show that the idea of wallets as application gateways is no longer a fringe feature, it has become industry standard. The next phase of competition will not be about how many dApps a wallet can aggregate, but rather how seamless, contextual, and intuitive that aggregation feels. Ultimately, the race is to define which wallet can truly become the super entry point to the Web3 world. Crypto Wallets: The Gateway to Data If the “asset gateway” made wallets indispensable in Web3, and the “application gateway” turned them into operational hubs, then the “data gateway” is now opening the next frontier. In Web3, nearly every interaction must pass through a wallet. This means every on-chain action a user takes ultimately settles under their wallet address. As a result, wallets naturally accumulate the most comprehensive and direct user data. With the narrative of data assetization gaining momentum, wallets can increasingly be seen as native data gateways — securely channeling usable signals to applications and brands that need them. Under this lens, the boundaries of wallets are expanding once again, this time into the front-end interface for generating and leveraging data assets. On-chain transaction histories are just the starting point. The deeper question is how wallets can structure these behavioral signals, package them into verifiable proofs, and enable controlled external access under user authorization. At the same time, the scope of data is no longer confined to on-chain activity. From purchase histories and browsing patterns to content preferences, a vast pool of off-chain data can also be surfaced through wallets. Once structured, these datasets can enter verifiable, tradable flows, blurring the line between crypto assets and data assets. To achieve this, DataDanceChain has built its native DataDance Wallet as an engine for generating and distributing data proofs. The design follows a three-layer architecture that maps the full lifecycle of “generation” and “distribution”: Data Capture Layer This layer interfaces with both on-chain interactions (assets, NFTs, transactions) and off-chain inputs (such as purchase records or social media data), unifying them through secure APIs. Proof Generation Layer Here, multiple privacy-preserving computations, such as ZK, MPC, and TEE, are executed locally. Raw data is transformed into structured signals and then encapsulated as verifiable proofs. Importantly, external parties never see the underlying data; they can only validate outcomes, ensuring user privacy is protected by design. Distribution Control Layer Within the wallet, users define authorization rules, such as purpose, time limits, or scope of use. Proofs are then distributed to applications or brands strictly according to these settings. What the applications receive is the result, not the process. At the same time, to ensure that data can truly enter market circulation, DDC has built an additional assetization layer beyond the wallet. In this layer, proofs generated by the wallet are aggregated, packaged, and NFT-ized, then embedded within a market framework that enables pricing, liquidity, and settlement. This turns proofs from mere “access credentials” into tradable data assets. That said, it’s important to acknowledge that the “data gateway” narrative is still in its early stage. Today, very few wallets have managed to connect the full chain, from data generation, encapsulation, and authorization all the way to assetization. Most wallets remain positioned as tools for assets and applications. Yet the trajectory is clear. As data assetization markets expand, privacy-preserving computation technologies mature, and users grow more aware of the economic potential of their data, crypto wallets are poised to become the core entry point for data circulation, and the frontline where data value is unlocked. Conclusion From the asset gateway to the application gateway, and now toward the emerging data gateway, crypto wallets are no longer just private key containers. They are steadily taking on broader and more complex roles. Looking back at this trajectory, the wallet industry has always revolved around three core questions: User Experience: How do we lower barriers, from seed phrases to one-click logins? Privacy Protection: How do we ensure verifiability without exposure, from key custody to local proof generation? Value Capture: How do we close the loop of assets, applications, and data within the wallet, rather than letting value leak elsewhere? These questions will define the competitive landscape of wallets in the years ahead. Put differently, the defining advantage of the next generation of wallets will not be how many chains or dApps they support. It will be about who can deliver on all three fronts: providing the most familiar experience, enforcing the strictest privacy, and creating the clearest pathways for value capture.
