The post MASK Token Anticipation Builds, Aster Open Positions Surge 46% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. BTC$113,060.17, the crypto market leader, has bounced to nearly $113,000, hinting at an end to the three-day losing streak. Other major coins are following BTC’s lead, with further gains contingent on bitcoin moving past key levels. “Much will depend on the ability of bitcoin bulls to overcome important resistance levels at 113,500 and 115,000. If they succeed, there will be a chance to restore the uptrend. Failure will increase the risks of a Bitcoin correction,” Alex Kuptsikevich, senior analyst at FxPro, said in an email. Token Talk By Oliver Knight MetaMask’s parent company ConsenSys, and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin, recently confirmed that the long-rumored MASK token is indeed coming, and possibly “sooner than you would expect.” Lubin emphasized that MASK would be tied to the decentralization of certain parts of the MetaMask platform, moving control from a purely centralized model toward community governance. While no official tokenomics have yet been published, MetaMask seems likely to follow a model similar to that used by ConsenSys’s Layer-2 project Linea: retaining a modest share for the company while allocating much of the supply toward ecosystem incentives, developer funding, and user rewards. In previous token launches, eligible users, particularly active ones, have been prioritized in the distributions, which has fueled speculation that the airdrop will focus heavily on users with meaningful activity in MetaMask, like swaps or interactions with dApps. However, some X users have warned Metamask wallet owners to taper their expectations; with Wale Moca saying users could receive just $8.5 each if the token debuts at a $3 billion fully diluted value (FDV). That is based on 70 million users each owning an average of five wallets. MASK is now being anticipated alongside a series of major airdrops, including Base, OpenSea and a second HyperLiquid drop.
