Airdrop

An Airdrop is a distribution of free tokens to a community, typically used as a marketing tool or a reward for early protocol adopters and testers. In 2026, the "points-to-airdrop" model has matured into merit-based incentive programs that utilize Sybil-resistance and Proof-of-Humanity to filter out bots. Airdrops remain a primary method for decentralized governance (DAO) bootstrapping. Follow this tag for the latest on retroactive rewards, eligibility criteria, and how to participate in the most anticipated token distributions in the ecosystem.

Here’s Why This Stage Is Viewed as the Best Entry Opportunity Yet

Here’s Why This Stage Is Viewed as the Best Entry Opportunity Yet

The post Here’s Why This Stage Is Viewed as the Best Entry Opportunity Yet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Low entry points in crypto have always opened doors for major gains in past cycles. Investors who entered early in Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessed breakout levels once adoption increased. The increase in the two largest assets by market cap saw a price uptick from single digits to life changing gains. The same trend is unfolding in the crypto presale of the Nexchain AI, which continues to surge in accumulation as more people see Nexchain AI as the next Bitcoin. With every stage closing out successfully, new participants are locking in positions before listing. At just $0.104 per NEX in Stage 26, the crypto presale offers one of the lowest market entry opportunities left. Stage 26 Shows Strong Accumulation and Momentum Nexchain AI has already raised over $9.3 million in its ongoing crypto presale, showing strong investor demand. Stage 25, priced at $0.10 per NEX, sold out completely with $9.27 million secured. The current Stage 26 has a target of $10.12 million, and $9.32 million has already been raised. This performance indicates that accumulation continues as buyers prepare for listing at higher valuations. The entry price of $0.104 per NEX is viewed as attractive when compared with upcoming listing expectations. Each stage has shown a clear uptick in demand, signaling confidence in the platform’s fundamentals. Investors often look at stages like this as optimal entry points since supply thins out quickly. What Nexchain AI Brings to Blockchain Technology Nexchain AI is a Layer 1 blockchain entirely developed using artificial intelligence. Its design combines sharding, Directed Acyclic Graphs, and a hybrid Proof-of-Stake consensus to improve scalability. Unlike traditional networks that struggle with congestion, Nexchain AI adapts dynamically using AI-driven optimization. This ensures efficient transaction validation while maintaining decentralized control. The platform integrates AI-powered smart contracts that can self-optimize and adapt…

Hester Peirce on the SEC’s next moves in crypto

Hester Peirce on the SEC’s next moves in crypto

The post Hester Peirce on the SEC’s next moves in crypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Empire newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Last week, we spent some time exploring what the rest of the cycle might look like.  Another reason that this time is different: Crypto has never been in a bull market with an agreeable SEC. How wild this cycle might’ve looked without Gensler at the helm for the first half. Don’t get me wrong — having a securities regulator back off on stuff like ETFs (bonus points for in-kind redemptions), liquid staking and staking-as-a-service is grand.  But ICOs are the Holy Grail for the crypto space. The job’s not finished until they’re back.  Hester Peirce, the SEC Commissioner who was earlier to crypto than practically anyone at the agency, is acutely aware that financial accessibility is at the heart of what makes crypto “crypto.” “Obviously I’m someone who believes very strongly in the dispersion of knowledge across society, and in the fundamental value of every human being, and the ability of every human being to contribute something unique to society. And I think that concept really links up very well with crypto,” Peirce told Yano on today’s Empire podcast. “[Crypto] is trying to bring the ability of people to engage with one another, peer to peer, and really to draw on people who society might before have shut out. If you have a centralized intermediary, what happens is that that intermediary — either of its own accord or because the government tells it to do so — shuts certain people out.” We already know that the answer is open-source protocols that “anyone can access and use on the same terms as everyone else,” as Peirce put it. And we already have them.  Still, freedom of access does not come with freedom of consequences for offering token sales…
