OpenSea Urges Users to Link EVM Wallets Ahead of SEA Airdrop Deadline

TheCryptoTimesPublished on 2025-10-14Last updated on 2025-10-14

OpenSea, a leading NFT marketplace, is asking users to connect their Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible wallets by October 15 to get the SEA token airdrop and get the most out of its Treasure Chests program. This deadline is a key part of OpenSea’s plan to get its community involved again and build excitement for the SEA token launch.

In a post on X, OpenSea announced that to receive the largest rewards, OpenSea users must connect an EVM-compatible wallet by October 15. Failure to do so will result in missing nearly all major new incentives. Only limited rewards remain for users logged in via Solana or Web2 accounts. Most token and NFT drops, including the SEA token, are tied to EVM chains. 

The Treasure Chests program ends on October 15, which makes it even more important for users to act quickly. Every chest, especially those in the Solar tier, changes how many SEA tokens are given out at the token generation event (TGE). The cutoff chest level determines the airdrop rewards. Solar chests may offer the biggest rewards, but they are still risky if their contents are not what you expected. 

SEA token airdrop 

OpenSea officially hinted towards the SEA token airdrop in September. After the deadline of October 15, OpenSea’s success with the SEA token will depend on user participation, how rewards are distributed, and whether the platform can reclaim its place as a market leader.

The SEA airdrop and rush to link EVM wallets are OpenSea’s biggest push since it was the top NFT marketplace. The goal of the campaign is to get more people to play and help OpenSea keep up with competitors like Magic Eden by adding their rewards and tokens.

RAM Prices Soar 500% in a Year, Ending Two Decades of Price Decline

Memory prices have skyrocketed, with some DDR5 kits increasing by nearly 500% over the past year. A 128GB DDR5 kit that once cost $329 now reaches $3,399. Mainstream 2x16GB DDR5 kits have tripled or quadrupled in price, while 64GB and 96GB kits have seen increases of 485% or more. The price surge has also impacted older DDR4 memory and storage drives like SSDs. This dramatic inflation is primarily driven by overwhelming demand from the AI sector. Cloud providers are reportedly locking down most DRAM production capacity through 2027 for AI servers, which consume vast amounts of memory. Furthermore, the production of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) for AI GPUs consumes advanced manufacturing capacity that would otherwise be used for consumer-grade DDR memory, severely squeezing supply. Industry leaders warn that the supply crunch could persist for years. Consequently, the decades-long trend of falling memory prices has been reversed in just months, pushing costs back to levels not seen since 2007, with no significant price drop expected in the near term.

A 25% Weekly Surge: Bitcoin Breaks $79,000 Amid Mass Short Liquidation

Bitcoin surged above $79,000 on August 21, marking a 25% weekly gain. This rally was accompanied by massive liquidations of short positions exceeding $1.2 billion in 24 hours, catching bearish traders off guard. Several analysts provided technical perspectives. Crypto Candy noted Bitcoin quickly hit targets of $70,700 and $75,000 after breaking consolidation. While a short-term pullback is possible, maintaining momentum above $70,000 could drive prices toward $77,000 and $83,000. Trader Roman confirmed a prior forecast for a $75,000 move, citing bullish signals and a decade-long uptrend, though a minor correction is possible. Daan Crypto Trades highlighted Bitcoin's attempt to hold above key support and the weekly 200EMA. He emphasized the $73,000-$74,000 resistance zone; a sustained break above it would boost confidence for a move toward May's highs, pending a weekly close at or above current levels. Key levels identified are: $70,000 (bullish scenario support), $73,000-$74,000 (critical resistance), $79,000 (current peak), and $83,000 (next target). Analysts agree the $73K-$74K zone is crucial for further upside toward $80K-$83K, acknowledging potential for a short-term correction but noting the overall chart structure remains bullish. An AI-driven analysis compares the current surge to past events, suggesting such short-squeeze rallies can be short-lived impulses rather than definitive trend reversals. It questions whether the move reflects genuine spot demand or a cascade of derivative liquidations, with sustainability to be tested after the weekly close.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Rise as Another $1 Billion Short Position is Liquidated

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana have seen significant gains as over $1 billion in short positions were liquidated. Bitcoin surged past $76,000, rising over 9% in 24 hours and 21% for the week, after trading around $64,100 just days prior. Short sellers incurred major losses, with roughly $1.2 billion in short positions liquidated over the past day, contributing to a two-day total exceeding $4 billion. This followed a record $3 billion in liquidations on Thursday, the largest single-day amount since 2021. The liquidations, triggered when leveraged bets move against traders, force buybacks that propel prices upward in a cascading effect. This rally distinguishes between demand-driven growth and mechanics-driven volatility, as forced buying does not reflect a belief in higher intrinsic value. Other major cryptocurrencies also advanced. Ethereum rose nearly 5% to $2,350, Solana gained over 5% to just under $90, and Dogecoin increased almost 9%. The rally was spurred by the U.S. Treasury doubling its long-term bond buyback to $4 billion, easing conditions in the $30 trillion Treasury market and boosting risk appetite. Additionally, Bitcoin broke past key resistance around $66,600, setting $76,000 as the next target. Political support also played a role, with President Trump urging Congress to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act at a White House event attended by crypto industry leaders. Bitcoin's market cap now stands at $1.5 trillion, still about 40% below its October all-time high of over $126,000.

Losses of $1.2 Billion: 'Squeeze' Strategy in the Bitcoin Market Profits Again

Bitcoin surged past $79,000 on Friday morning, marking a gain of over $15,000 since August 17. This rally, fueled by concerns over the U.S. national debt exceeding $40 trillion, boosted Bitcoin's market cap past $1.55 trillion. The sharp rise led to significant short position liquidations, exceeding $1.22 billion over three consecutive days. Michael Saylor's company, Strategy, saw its 840,447 BTC holdings, acquired at an average of $75,385 per coin, return to profitability as prices exceeded $75,000. Saylor reiterated his belief in Bitcoin's perpetual growth. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's comments on bond buybacks were criticized by economist Peter Schiff as a "panic button" move that could worsen market instability, though Schiff affirmed his preference for gold and silver over Bitcoin. Market sentiment remains bullish, with 71% of users on prediction platforms expecting Bitcoin to surpass $80,000.
