The New Way to Earn Free Crypto With Pepenode

The New Way to Earn Free Crypto With Pepenode

The post The New Way to Earn Free Crypto With Pepenode appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto has been shaky lately, but not all projects are feeling the heat the same way. While Bitcoin and other major coins have dipped, some GameFi tokens are quietly seeing more users and activity. These projects reward participation rather than just holding, blending fun with real utility. Even meme coins find their place when they offer tangible benefits. Pepenode takes this a step further by turning crypto earning into a game. Players can build, manage, and mine virtually without buying Pepe, Fartcoin, or other tokens. Its presale has already raised $2 million, and the next price increase happens in under 48 hours, giving early supporters a chance to secure tokens at a lower rate. With the official launch approaching, Pepenode is quickly emerging as one of the most engaging ways to earn crypto today. Source – Cryptonews YouTube Channel How Pepenode Turns Mining Into a Game Pepenode allows users to build and manage virtual server rooms where nodes act as the core mining units. Players start with a limited number of nodes and can upgrade, merge, or trade them to increase mining efficiency. Each node generates rewards not only in Pepenode tokens but also in other cryptocurrencies, providing multiple streams of income. Unlike traditional mining, Pepenode is fully virtual. Users do not need expensive hardware or worry about electricity costs. Nodes can be strategically arranged to optimize output, and identical nodes can be merged to make space for additional units. A dedicated marketplace also lets players buy, sell, or trade nodes, creating an ecosystem similar to NFT-based platforms. Early Participation Offers Unique Advantages The Pepenode presale is organized in multiple rounds, with token prices increasing after each stage. Early supporters can secure tokens at a lower rate, currently priced at $0.0011546, with the next price increase expected within 48 hours.…

After BTC fell below $90,000, why are Builders collectively calling for a 'real bear market'?

After BTC fell below $90,000, why are Builders collectively calling for a 'real bear market'?

Author: haotian After chatting with several builders, I was surprised to find that they weren't pessimistic about the arrival of a bear market; on the contrary, they hoped the "deep bear market" would last longer. Why? Let me try to understand their psychology: 1) From the "pseudo-innovation" craze of 2023, to the BTC layer 2 narrative where Eastern and Western VCs refused to take over each other, to the AI Agent MEME asset issuance narrative on Solana, and then to the series of artificial internal bull markets initiated by BN, the entire bull market was split into a series of short-lived attention nodes: lively but short-lived and then left in a mess. One could argue that a "real bull market" has never existed, or that a "fake bull market" has never left, but the "super bull markets" that everyone was once familiar with, such as DeFi Summer and NFT's expansion into new markets, which could drive growth outside the market through innovation within the market, have become unattainable. 2) What makes builders most desperate is that after the voices promoting MEME Super Cycle took over, MEME culture has evolved into a "narrative black hole," frantically devouring the market's attention to "technological innovation." Imagine when PumpFun generates tens of thousands of MEME coins every day, and a single MEME project can easily reach a market capitalization of 100M or even 2B. Everyone gets used to the thrill of zero-sum PvP and has no patience to understand what a decentralized sequencer, an Intent execution network, or a ZK Coprocessor is. This makes many long-term Builders completely lose their "presence." 3) Even more critically, because the exit window for projects with ample liquidity is very short, well-built projects are often delayed due to predetermined plans such as roadmaps and tokenomics. Meanwhile, some VC-backed projects designed specifically for narratives or self-created projects within the exchange ecosystem will try every means to absorb the liquidity that originally belonged to "value projects". By the time the actual narrative project was completed, market liquidity had dried up, and TGE immediately fell below its issue price. Forced to take drastic measures, the market-making manipulation team and insider trading team were exposed, bearing all the blame, and they exited in the most undignified way. It's important to understand that without the opportune timing and favorable conditions of abundant liquidity, the probability of a successful price manipulation maneuver is one in ten thousand. 4) Crucially, genuine technological innovation requires a long period to validate and implement Product-Market Fit (PMF). However, the changed market environment is fundamentally unfavorable for innovation. A very real problem is that a project, from tackling technical challenges to product refinement and ecosystem implementation, normally takes at least 2-3 years, or even longer, to truly establish a brand barrier. But in the new environment, with only a 3-month window, everyone is scrambling to boost TVL (Total Value Link), generate buzz, and achieve TGE (Total Generative Advantage). Who has the patience to let a project slowly validate its PMF? Therefore, the market has unfortunately fallen into an absurd cycle: true innovation takes time, but the market doesn't give it time; those who adhere to long-termism are eliminated, while those who speculate and take shortcuts can cash out and leave the market. above. I finally understand. What they wanted was never a powerless "deep bear" market, but rather to completely eliminate the "noise bulls" that hinder genuine innovation.

Grab Super App Eyes Stablecoin Settlement With StraitsX

Grab Super App Eyes Stablecoin Settlement With StraitsX

The post Grab Super App Eyes Stablecoin Settlement With StraitsX appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Grab, Southeast Asia’s largest super-app, is taking a deeper step into stablecoin infrastructure with a new exploratory agreement with StraitsX, a Singapore-based stablecoin issuer. The two companies announced on Tuesday that they had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a Web3-enabled settlement layer that brings digital asset wallets, programmable payments and stablecoin-based clearing into everyday consumer experiences.  If approved by regulators and implemented, the system would allow Grab users to hold and spend StraitsX-issued tokens like XSGD and XUSD directly within the app, which is available in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Cambodia and Myanmar. With Grab’s extensive reach in Southeast Asia, the move could significantly reshape how cross-border retail payments operate in the region.  “Southeast Asia is one of the world’s fastest-growing digital economies, but payments remain fragmented and costly,” said Tianwei Liu, co-founder and CEO of StraitsX, adding that the collaboration will accelerate the growth in the region’s digital economy. Grab application in the Philippines allows crypto and stablecoin top-ups. Source: Grab app Grab’s history with stablecoins This is not the first time that Grab has dipped into the stablecoin space. The company tested blockchain-based rewards, collaborations with Web3 wallets and limited pilots to assess user readiness.  In 2023, Grab partnered with stablecoin issuer Circle to pilot Web3 customer experiences in Singapore. This allowed users to set up a blockchain wallet, earn rewards and use non-fungible token (NFT) vouchers.  In 2024, Grab started allowing users to top up their GrabPay wallets using crypto and stablecoins. On May 6, Grab partnered with Natix, a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) operating in Solana, to combine blockchain-based mapping with Grab’s camera hardware and mapmaking technology.   While Grab is not new to stablecoins and blockchain, the deal marks an escalation from its previous experiments. It signals a much…
