Important Airdrop News

  • Aster to Begin Sixth Phase Airdrop on February 2

According to an official announcement on January 30, the sixth phase of the Aster airdrop, Convergence, will begin on February 2, 2026, and end on March 29, lasting 8 weeks. This phase allocates 0.8% of the total supply, approximately 64 million ASTER tokens, making it the phase with the lowest token emission. This phase features an optional 6-month lock-up period and a burn mechanism, and it is the final distribution based on trading activity. With the Aster Chain testnet running and the staking function in its final preparation stage, future emissions will shift to a staking-based distribution model.

  • Meteora (MET) Airdrop Claim Closes, 9.8% of Total Supply Unclaimed

Meteora lead Soju cited data analysis from MeteoraInside on January 26. The data shows that the MET airdrop claim has closed, with approximately 98.9 million MET (about 9.8% of the total supply) unclaimed. All unclaimed tokens will be transferred to the Meteora ecosystem reserve to support future growth plans.

  • MegaETH: Has Not and Will Not Pay Exchanges MEGA Tokens for Listing Fees or Airdrops

MegaETH stated on January 31 that MegaETH has not, and will not, give away MEGA tokens to any centralized or decentralized exchange as listing fees or airdrops. If an exchange chooses to list the MEGA token, it is because they believe in the project's strength.

  • Cap Co-founder: CAP Has No Airdrop, Public Sale Will Constitute Nearly 100% of TGE Circulating Supply

Benjamin, co-founder of the stablecoin project Cap, stated on January 31 that CAP will not conduct a token airdrop. The project will incentivize users of the Frontier project through a Stabledrop distributed in stablecoins. The only way to obtain CAP is through the upcoming public sale, and public sale participants will constitute nearly 100% of the circulating supply at TGE. He also noted that Cap will not pay listing fees to CEXs, nor will it use CAP for TVL incentives or side deals. Relevant collaborations will be settled solely in stablecoins to avoid excessive token dilution and uncontrolled buyback costs.

  • Paradex: DIME Token TGE Scheduled for Late February or Early March, Airdrop Allocation Increased to 25%

Paradex announced on January 30 that XP Season 2 has officially ended and confirmed that the DIME Token Generation Event is scheduled for the last week of February or the first week of March, after the Lunar New Year. Paradex confirmed that 25% of the total DIME supply will be airdropped to all XP holders and will be fully unlocked at launch. The allocation for Season 2 XP holders has been increased from the originally planned 15% to 20%, while the allocation for Pre-season and Season 1 holders remains unchanged at 5%. XP Season 3 will begin on February 1, focusing on spot trading, real-world asset perpetual contracts, and options markets.

The Top Bitcoin Predictions From Industry Experts Go As High As $500,000

A compilation of Bitcoin price predictions from industry experts, including banks, hedge fund managers, and venture capitalists, shows a wide range of bullish forecasts, with estimates going as high as $500,000. Bitcoin is currently trading around $78,000, showing signs of recovery. On the lower end, Citigroup projects a base target of $126,000 by end-2026, while other predictions include $148,000 from Pantera Capital, $150,000 from JPMorgan, $180,000 from VanEck, and up to $200,000 from Standard Chartered. More optimistic forecasts see Bitcoin reaching near or above $200,000, with Tom Lee targeting $189,000, Tim Draper at $250,000, Cathie Wood at $275,000, Robert Kiyosaki at $350,000, Anthony Scaramucci at $400,000, and Chamath Palihapitiya and Mike Novogratz projecting $500,000.

North Korean Hackers Loot $500 Million in a Single Month, Becoming the Top Threat to Crypto Security

North Korean hackers, particularly the notorious Lazarus Group and its subgroup TraderTraitor, have stolen over $500 million from cryptocurrency DeFi platforms in less than three weeks, bringing their total theft for the year to over $700 million. Recent major attacks on Drift Protocol and KelpDAO, resulting in losses of approximately $286 million and $290 million respectively, highlight a strategic shift: instead of targeting core smart contracts, attackers are now exploiting vulnerabilities in peripheral infrastructure. For instance, the KelpDAO attack involved compromising downstream RPC infrastructure used by LayerZero's decentralized validation network (DVN), allowing manipulation without breaching core cryptography. This sophisticated approach mirrors advanced corporate cyber-espionage. Additionally, North Korea has systematically infiltrated the global crypto workforce, with an estimated 100 operatives using fake identities to gain employment at blockchain companies, enabling long-term access to sensitive systems and facilitating large-scale thefts. According to Chainalysis, North Korean-linked hackers stole a record $2 billion in 2025, accounting for 60% of all global crypto theft that year. Their total historical crypto theft has reached $6.75 billion. Post-theft, they employ specialized money laundering methods, heavily relying on Chinese OTC brokers and cross-chain mixing services rather than standard decentralized exchanges. Security experts, while acknowledging the increased sophistication, emphasize that many attacks still exploit fundamental weaknesses like poor access controls and centralized operational risks. Strengthening private key management, limiting privileged access, and enhancing coordination among exchanges, analysts, and law enforcement immediately after an attack are critical to improving defense and fund recovery chances. The industry's challenge now extends beyond secure smart contracts to safeguarding operational security at the infrastructure level.

Circle CEO's Seoul Visit: No Korean Won Stablecoin Issuance, But Met All Major Korean Banks

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's recent activities in Seoul indicate a strategic shift for the company, moving away from issuing a Korean won-backed stablecoin and instead focusing on embedding itself as a key infrastructure provider within Korea’s financial and crypto ecosystem. Despite Korea accounting for nearly 30% of global crypto trading volume—with a market characterized by high retail participation and altcoin dominance—Circle has chosen not to compete for the role of stablecoin issuer. Instead, Allaire met with major Korean banks (including Shinhan, KB, and Woori), financial groups, leading exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone), and tech firms like Kakao. This approach reflects a broader industry transition: the core of stablecoin competition is shifting from issuance rights to systemic positioning. With Korean regulators still debating whether banks or tech companies should issue stablecoins, Circle is avoiding regulatory uncertainty by strengthening its role as a service and technology partner. The company is deepening integration with trading platforms, building connections, and promoting stablecoin infrastructure. This positions Circle to benefit regardless of which entity eventually issues a won stablecoin. Allaire also noted the potential for a Chinese yuan stablecoin in the next 3–5 years, underscoring a regional trend of stablecoins becoming more regulated and integrated with traditional finance. Ultimately, Circle’s strategy highlights that future influence in the stablecoin market will belong not necessarily to the issuers, but to the foundational infrastructure layers that enable cross-system transactions.

SpaceX Ties Up with Cursor: A High-Stakes AI Gambit of 'Lock First, Acquire Later'

SpaceX has secured an option to acquire AI programming company Cursor for $60 billion, with an alternative clause requiring a $10 billion collaboration fee if the acquisition does not proceed. This structure is not merely a potential acquisition but a strategic move to control core access points in the AI era. The deal is designed as a flexible, dual-path arrangement, allowing SpaceX to either fully acquire Cursor or maintain a binding partnership through high-cost collaboration. This "option-style" approach minimizes immediate regulatory and integration risks while ensuring long-term alignment between the two companies. At its core, the transaction exchanges critical AI-era resources: SpaceX provides its Colossus supercomputing cluster—one of the world’s most powerful AI training infrastructures—while Cursor contributes its AI-native developer environment and strong product adoption. This synergy connects compute power, models, and application layers, forming a closed-loop AI capability stack. Cursor, founded in 2022, has achieved rapid growth with over $1 billion in annual revenue and widespread enterprise adoption. Its value lies in transforming software development through AI agents capable of coding, debugging, and system design—positioning it as a gateway to future software production. For SpaceX, this move is part of a broader strategy to evolve from a aerospace company into an AI infrastructure empire, integrating xAI, supercomputing, and chip manufacturing. Controlling Cursor fills a gap in its developer tooling layer, strengthening its AI narrative ahead of a potential IPO. The deal reflects a shift in AI competition from model superiority to ecosystem and entry-point control. With programming tools as a key battleground, securing developer loyalty becomes crucial for dominating the software production landscape. Risks include questions around Cursor’s valuation, technical integration challenges, and potential regulatory scrutiny. Nevertheless, the deal underscores a strategic bet: controlling both compute and software development access may redefine power dynamics in the AI-driven future.

Ripple’s Tokenization Bet: Will XRP Price Explode As It Enters This Trillion-Dollar Industry?

Institutional capital is quietly moving onto the XRP Ledger (XRPL), with over $333 million in tokenized US Treasury products now live from firms like BlackRock-backed Ondo Finance, OpenEden, Guggenheim, and abrdn. This marks a significant shift for XRPL, traditionally known for payments, into the tokenized real-world asset sector. While still a tiny fraction of the $30+ trillion Treasury market, XRPL's tokenized assets grew 2,200% in 2025. Experts project the global tokenization market could reach $200 trillion. If XRPL captures a notable share as this market scales, it could have significant implications for the price of XRP.
