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.

Crypto’s Investable Universe Is Shrinking: NYDIG

According to NYDIG's Head of Research Greg Cipolaro, the crypto industry's investable universe is shrinking as markets mature. He argues that only a limited set of blockchain applications can attract sustained capital, suggesting the broader Web3 vision may need recalibration. Investors are now focusing on applications that extend traditional financial products onto blockchain infrastructure, including Bitcoin, tokenized assets, stablecoins, select DeFi infrastructure, and general-purpose blockchains like Ethereum. Cipolaro emphasizes that blockchain’s core attributes—trustlessness, permissionlessness, and censorship resistance—align best with financial use cases, where they provide clear advantages over centralized systems. He notes that most non-financial applications, such as gaming or social media, don’t require global immutable ledgers and are more efficiently served by centralized alternatives. This shift has led to capital concentration around fewer, stronger narratives, increasing Bitcoin’s market dominance while reducing investment in speculative altcoins. Cipolaro views this trend as market consolidation rather than collapse, with a focus on economically sustainable applications. A smaller, more durable market grounded in financial utility may enhance long-term stability and attract institutional interest. The crypto space may ultimately function as a specialized financial technology layer rather than a comprehensive Web3 overhaul. The next phase of development will likely emphasize real-world utility, regulatory clarity, and prudent capital allocation over rapid narrative expansion.

Don't Just Focus on Trading Volume, Learn to Understand the 'True and False Prosperity' of Perpetual Contracts

Title: Look Beyond Trading Volume: Understanding the Real Growth of Perpetual Contracts Perpetual contracts (perps) have become a dominant force in crypto trading, with their volume now accounting for about 75% of decentralized exchange activity, up from 44% in February 2025. This surge occurred even as the total crypto market cap fell nearly 40% between August 2025 and February 2026, indicating a shift towards derivatives for speculation and hedging during volatility. However, volume alone can be misleading. It may reflect high-frequency, incentive-driven activity rather than meaningful capital deployment. A more nuanced view comes from combining volume with Open Interest (OI)—the total value of outstanding contracts. While cumulative perps volume doubled in the past six months to $14 trillion (exceeding the previous four years' total), OI grew by about 50%, from $13B to ~$18B before settling at $13B. The OI/Volume ratio, a measure of capital efficiency, rose from 0.33x to 0.49x over the past year. This growth wasn’t linear: it peaked at ~0.72x from June to mid-October 2025, then dropped to ~0.38x after a major liquidation event in October wiped out $19B in leveraged positions. At the platform level, Hyperliquid leads in capital efficiency with an OI/7-day volume ratio over 45% and a take rate of 3.2 bps, effectively converting trading activity into sustained positions and fee revenue. Aster follows with a 34% ratio but a lower take rate of 1.6 bps, prioritizing capital retention over revenue. edgeX and Lighter both show 21% efficiency, with edgeX matching Hyperliquid’s take rate. The key insight is that true growth in perps markets is signaled not just by volume but by rising OI/Volume ratio, reflecting patient capital and confidence in these platforms. Sustainable success will come from optimizing conviction and value capture, not just incentivized trading volume.
