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.

The Waged Worker Driven to Poverty by AI Subscriptions

"AI Membership: The Hidden Cost Pushing Workers Toward 'Poverty'" The widespread corporate push for AI adoption is creating a hidden financial burden for employees. Companies, from giants like Alibaba to small firms, are mandating AI use, often tying token consumption to KPIs, but frequently refuse to cover the costs. Workers are forced to pay for subscriptions out of pocket to stay competitive and avoid being replaced. Front-end developer Long Shen spends up to 2000 RMB monthly on tools like Cursor and ChatGPT Plus, seeing it as a necessary 3% salary investment to handle 90% of his coding tasks. While it boosted his performance and led to promotions, he now faces idle time at work, pretending to be busy. Designer Peng Peng navigates strict company firewalls by using personal devices and accounts for AI image generation tools like Midjourney, spending hundreds monthly without reimbursement, while her boss demands faster, more numerous revisions. The pressure creates workplace anxiety and suspicion. Programmer Li Huahua, after a friend's experience of raised KPIs following AI success, fears being branded a "traitor" for using it yet worries about falling behind if she doesn't. The dynamic allows management to demand results without understanding the tools or covering expenses, treating employees like AI "agents." While some, like entrepreneur Jin Tu, find high value in paid AI, building entire systems and winning competitions, for most, it's a trap. Free tools like Kimi and Doubao are introducing fees, closing off alternatives. The initial efficiency gains individual advantage, but as AI becomes ubiquitous, the personal edge disappears, workloads increase, and a cycle of dependency begins. Workers like Long Shen realize they cannot maintain AI-generated code without AI, making stopping harder than continuing to pay. The tool promising liberation is instead becoming a compulsory, costly chain in the modern workplace.

SK Hynix's Trillion-Won Empire: The Successors

"SK Hynix's Trillion-Won Empire and Its Heirs" explores the unconventional succession narrative within SK Group, South Korea's second-largest conglomerate, following SK Hynix's dramatic market rise. Unlike traditional chaebol scripts prioritizing the eldest son, ownership, and political marriages, Chairman Choi Tae-won's three children from his first marriage are charting distinct paths. The eldest daughter, Choi Yun-jeong, is considered the most visible candidate. With a background in biology, consulting, and a PhD, she holds executive roles at SK Bioscience and SK Inc.'s growth strategy unit, focusing on biopharma and new businesses. Her marriage is to an AI infrastructure entrepreneur, not a traditional chaebol heir. The second daughter, Choi Min-jeong, took a unique route by voluntarily serving as a South Korean naval officer, including a tour in the Gulf of Aden. She later worked on policy and strategy for SK Hynix in Washington D.C. before co-founding an AI-driven healthcare startup in San Francisco. She married a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, connecting the family to U.S. defense and policy networks. The son, Choi In-geun, who has Type 1 diabetes, followed a more classic preparatory path with a physics degree and a stint at SK E&S but left to join McKinsey's Seoul office. He remains publicly silent and holds no SK shares, defying the traditional "crown prince" archetype. Their paths unfold against the backdrop of their parents' high-profile, contentious divorce and a record-setting asset division lawsuit. The article argues that as SK Hynix becomes a geopolitical asset in the AI era, the conventional rules of chaebol inheritance are changing. The heirs are being groomed not simply to take over, but to navigate a complex global landscape defined by AI, biotech, geopolitics, and policy, forging legitimacy through their own expertise and networks rather than birth order alone.

BitMart Research Institute Weekly Highlights: A Comprehensive Review of Macro Environment, Crude Oil, AI Tech Stocks, and Crypto Market

**Weekly Market Review: Macro, Oil, AI Tech Stocks & Crypto Market** **Macroeconomic & Traditional Finance** The April U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls report of 115K new jobs exceeded expectations, but the data's quality was questioned. Growth was heavily concentrated in healthcare, while other sectors contracted, and manufacturing employment turned negative. A statistical model accounted for a large portion of the gains, conflicting with household survey data showing a loss of 226K jobs. Meanwhile, AI's impact on jobs is emerging, with information sector roles declining, though overall unemployment remains at ~4.3%. Oil prices hovered near $100 per barrel. Global oil buffer inventories have drawn down significantly, supporting prices, but high costs are suppressing demand. China's recent reduction in crude imports acted as a market stabilizer. Geopolitically, the U.S. and Iran are likely to reach a tentative agreement to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and avoid price spikes. For AI tech stocks, short-term prospects are mixed. A potential SpaceX IPO in June could pressure current index heavyweights like Nvidia, while smaller components might benefit. The mid-term focus shifts to Q2 earnings, emphasizing AI's return on investment. Long-term risks include potential election policy shifts and massive IPOs from companies like OpenAI, which could test the sector's sustainability. **Crypto Market & Ecosystem** Crypto markets rose moderately, with BTC climbing from ~$77K to ~$82K, driven by improved risk sentiment. Spot trading volumes remain low, but buying pressure is evident. ETF inflows continued (~$791M last week). However, institutional purchases of BTC and ETH were more modest than expected. The derivatives market shows lingering bearish bets, particularly on alts and ETH. A key trend is the "dual-track" model where projects pursue public listings for traditional funding while also building their own blockchains/tokens to capture crypto liquidity, as seen with Circle's ARC chain. Stablecoins and institutional chains present significant future opportunities. *Disclaimer: This is market analysis, not investment advice.*
