Important Airdrop News

  • Polymarket Head of Markets: Token Airdrop Snapshot Has Not Been Taken Yet

On February 13, in response to a user question asking if the (airdrop) snapshot had already been taken, Polymarket Head of Markets William LeGate responded, "Not yet (No)." Additionally, another Polymarket official, Mustafa, had stated that the POLY token airdrop is part of the next phase plan.

  • Jupiter DAO Initiates Vote on Jupuary Airdrop, May Return 700 Million JUP to Treasury

On February 17, Jupiter DAO began a governance vote on a proposal for "zero net emissions" of JUP tokens, which will last until February 22. The proposal aims to avoid further token dilution and improve JUP's current price performance, which is at a historical low, by canceling the 2026 Jupuary airdrop event.

The vote has two options: Option one is to proceed with the Jupuary airdrop as originally planned, launching the airdrop checker and distributing 200 million JUP about a week after the vote ends, while continuing the existing team distribution and Mercurial incentive programs. Option two is to indefinitely postpone the Jupuary airdrop, return the prepared 700 million tokens to the community cold multi-signature wallet, and pause the emission of the team's reserve allocation. If option two passes, Jupiter will use balance sheet funds to buy back tokens released into the market to offset the selling pressure from Mercurial holders.

  • Wu Jiezhuang: Hong Kong to Issue First Batch of Stablecoin Issuer Licenses in March, Suggests Promoting Use via Airdrops

On February 19, Hong Kong Legislative Council member Wu Jiezhuang stated on the program "Finance CHAT" that Hong Kong is expected to issue the first batch of stablecoin issuer licenses in March. He suggested that after the institutions receive their licenses, the government could distribute consumption vouchers in the form of stablecoins to eligible citizens for spending at local small and medium-sized enterprises to promote the use of stablecoins in Hong Kong.

Wu Jiezhuang pointed out that this move could draw on the experience of promoting electronic payments through previous e-voucher programs, using stablecoin usage scenarios to boost the local economy and enhance Hong Kong's positioning in the development of Web3 and digital assets. He stated that the related administrative costs could be borne by the licensed institutions.

Only 153 Venture Capital Firms Invested in July: Is the Crypto VC Industry Experiencing a 'Mass Extinction'?

In July 2026, only 153 unique venture capital firms participated in disclosed crypto funding rounds, marking the lowest monthly count since November 2020. This figure represents an 87% decline from the peak of 1,177 firms in 2022. Overall, the first seven months of 2026 saw crypto projects raise approximately $11.78 billion across 481 rounds. This crypto VC contraction contrasts sharply with the broader venture capital landscape, where global VC investment reached a record $560.4 billion in H1 2026, heavily fueled by major AI company financings. This shift in capital allocation has drawn funds away from the crypto sector. Within crypto, funding is highly concentrated. Trading platforms, prediction markets, and payment sectors absorbed 53% of the total capital. While early-stage deals remain frequent, the largest sums flow to a few late-stage rounds and mergers & acquisitions, which surged to $7.23 billion in Q2 2026. The market is consolidating around top funds like a16z crypto and Dragonfly, which successfully raised new multi-billion dollar funds, while many smaller firms have retreated. Analysts describe this as a "great extinction" for crypto VCs, where capital is becoming more selective, favoring proven business models and assets over early-stage speculation. This raises the bar for project quality, funding efficiency, and viable exit paths.

Strategy's Loss in the Second Quarter Reaches $8.22 Billion Amid Bitcoin Decline

Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, reported a net loss of $8.22 billion for the second quarter. This loss was primarily driven by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings due to a decline in the asset's price during the period. Despite these paper losses, the company increased its Bitcoin holdings to 843,775 BTC, a 25% growth since the start of the year. As part of a new monetization strategy, Strategy sold approximately $218.4 million worth of Bitcoin, mainly to fund dividends for preferred shareholders, with $216 million of that sold after Q2 ended. The company also built a $3.75 billion cash reserve, which it claims is sufficient to cover over two years of dividend and interest payments, aiming to insulate itself from Bitcoin's volatility while meeting obligations. Following the earnings release, Strategy's stock (MSTR) rose 4.7% in regular trading but corrected slightly after-hours. This pattern reflects how the company's accounting results are heavily tied to Bitcoin's price swings, even as its long-term strategy remains unchanged. The report indicates that Strategy is maintaining its core strategy of accumulating Bitcoin while building a financial buffer. This quarterly loss follows a recognizable pattern, with the company posting significant unrealized losses in previous quarters (e.g., $12.4 billion in Q4 2025 and ~$12.5 billion in Q1 2026) due to fair-value accounting. A key technical shift is its new monetization program, which introduces periodic selling pressure on the market, transitioning Strategy from a pure accumulator to a participant that occasionally adds supply. A critical question remains: how long can the cash reserve cover dividend obligations if a Bitcoin price downturn persists beyond two years?

Will Terrorist Durov Ban Russian Officials?

Telegram founder Pavel Durov publicly reacted to being labeled a "terrorist" by Russian authorities, stating the designation came after he refused demands for mass surveillance and censorship on the platform. In a Telegram post, he highlighted that this status formally bans him from "publishing information online." Durov concluded with a statement widely circulated: Russian officials "clearly don't understand who can ban whom on the internet." This remark suggests Durov could potentially restrict official Russian government and officials' channels on Telegram, which continue to operate on the platform despite its formal blocking in Russia. The situation parallels previous, slow-moving state directives, like switching officials to domestic cars, contrasted with the current push to migrate all government communication to the Russian-made messenger MAX by 2030. However, reports indicate many officials still use Telegram via workarounds, fearing surveillance on MAX, while alternatives like BiP and KakaoTalk recently became inaccessible in Russia without a VPN. Durov has not specified any immediate actions against state channels. His statement is an initial response, with further developments depending on the authorities' reaction. The dynamic differs from 2020 when Russian regulators lifted a block on Telegram; now, Durov implies control from within the platform itself over the official accounts that persisted through that earlier blockade.

DeepSeek V4 Official Version Arrives, New Capabilities Emerge, Value-for-Money King Enters the Fray

On July 31st, DeepSeek officially launched the public API beta for its DeepSeek-V4-Flash model. A key highlight is its performance on multiple Agent benchmark tests, reportedly nearing or even surpassing the level of the V4-Pro preview version from three months ago. Notably, the Flash model achieves this with significantly smaller scale (130B active parameters vs. Pro's 490B), suggesting that post-training optimization and data quality may be as crucial as raw model size. DeepSeek emphasized that the V4-Flash-0731 uses the same model architecture and size as its preview version, with improvements attributed solely to "re-trained post-training." The update also marks the official debut of DeepSeek's self-developed Agent framework, "Harness." The move signals DeepSeek's strategic push to position its cost-effective Flash model as a competitive base for Agent applications—scenarios requiring autonomous planning, tool usage, and complex task execution—where inference speed and cost are critical. By natively supporting OpenAI's Responses API format and adapting for code-generation scenarios, DeepSeek aims not just to be a cheaper alternative but to establish its own ecosystem in the Agent era. This release follows DeepSeek's record-breaking ~$50 billion fundraising round roughly two months prior, underscoring market confidence in its technology and commercialization prospects. The company is reportedly preparing for another funding round at a valuation of approximately $71 billion. The Flash model's advancement represents a step in fulfilling the high expectations that come with this valuation, setting the stage for the impending release of the V4-Pro official version and intensifying competition in the global Agent landscape.
