Danske Bank: Federal Reserve may raise interest rates at least twice

Danske Bank senior analyst Kirstine Kundby-Nielsen and chief analyst Jens Peter Sorensen stated in a report that they expect the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates twice, in December 2026 and March 2027 respectively, bringing the federal funds rate to 4.00%-4.25%. "However, we emphasize there is a risk that rate hikes could come earlier and that the number of hikes may exceed two," they said. The first Federal Reserve meeting led by Kevin Warsh sent a clear signal that the Fed is increasingly moving away from forward guidance surrounding future monetary policy decisions. "All signs indicate that (the Fed) is leaning toward having greater discretion in future policy decisions," the Danske Bank analysts added. Source: Jin10

The entire cryptocurrency market is down across the board; funding rates indicate BTC remains in bearish territory, while ETH’s bullish sentiment is significantly stronger than BTC’s.

According to HTX market data, Bitcoin is currently trading at $61,684.51, down 1.88% in the past 24 hours; Ethereum is at $1,647.36, down 1.48% over the same period. Current funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) show a clear divergence between BTC and ETH: BTC rates across all platforms have fallen back into bearish territory, while ETH rates on most platforms remain above the neutral range, indicating significantly stronger bullish sentiment for ETH than BTC. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and underlying asset prices, typically applicable to perpetual contracts. They serve as a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders; platforms do not collect these fees, instead using them to adjust the cost or return of traders holding contracts, so that contract prices stay close to the underlying asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% is the benchmark. A rate above 0.01% indicates broad bullish market sentiment, while a rate below 0.005% signals widespread bearish sentiment.

Silver plunged 6% intraday, breaching the defense of long positions, as a smart money entity reaped $2.16 million in shorting profits.

According to Hyperinsight’s monitoring, the Silver (SILVER) contract on Hyperliquid is currently priced at $56.78, down 6.34% over 24 hours, with a trading volume of $263 million, ranking first in the precious metals sector. Driven by gold prices falling below $4,000 and safe-haven funds flowing back into chip stocks, short sellers have reaped significant profits. Notably, smart money address 0x49e has been shorting Silver on 3x leverage since April 29 at a high of $78.79, holding a position worth $5.77 million, and has already booked a precise profit of $2.16 million (+81%). On-chain Silver whales are overall bearish: the nominal position size of short sellers is approximately 1.5 times that of long positions. The average entry price for short positions is around $65.05, and the current price is 12.7% lower than this level. Long positions are overall trapped, with an average entry price of about $59.75, roughly 5% above the current price. Current short sellers have sufficient safety margins: the nearest short liquidation line stands at $77.18, some 36% above the current price, meaning short sellers face almost no liquidation pressure.

China's Supreme People's Procuratorate announced a major drug-related money laundering case: Li Moubo laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after combined punishment for multiple crimes.

On June 25, China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) held a press conference. Miao Shengming, SPP’s deputy procurator-general, stated that procuratorial organs are thoroughly investigating both self-money laundering and third-party money laundering crimes, and vigorously promoting the recovery of drug-related assets to ensure full coverage in the investigation and punishment of drug-related money laundering offenses. From January 2025 to May 2026, procuratorial bodies nationwide prosecuted more than 1,200 individuals for drug-related money laundering crimes. A notable example is the major cross-border case of drug smuggling, trafficking, transportation and money laundering involving Li Moubo and others, which was supervised by the SPP and handled by Chongqing’s procuratorial organs. Li laundered over 48 million yuan via virtual currency and was sentenced to death after receiving combined punishment for multiple crimes in accordance with the law. (Xinhua News Agency)

[입출금] 테더(USDT) Aptos 네트워크 출금 일시 중단 안내

The tokenization narrative is not only growing, but it’s also evolving. While early conversations focused on whether the real-world asset sector could move on-chain, institutions are now asking a very different question: can blockchain infrastructure support financial markets at scale?

This shift is becoming increasingly visible across multiple networks, including Aptos. Securitize-related assets have reportedly surged 632% in June to reach $276 million. As major products such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund expand on the network, Aptos is positioning itself as infrastructure built for continuous settlement, institutional-grade financial activity, liquidity, and more.

In the following interview, Solomon Tesfaye discusses the rapid growth of tokenized assets on the platform, the infrastructure institutions actually care about, and why the next phase of blockchain adoption may be driven by the convergence of both markets and machines.

Securitize-related assets on Aptos have reportedly grown 632% this month to $276 million. What does that kind of growth tell you about how institutions are approaching onchain markets right now?

The percentage growth is interesting, but what matters more is where activity concentrates once assets actually live.

Securitize issues and manages tokenized real-world assets for institutional sponsors including BlackRock and Apollo, and Aptos is one of the networks those assets can run on. Once that happens, issuance is no longer the main focus. The focus shifts to how those assets function inside real financial systems.

That is where the shift toward “markets” becomes visible. Settlement, collateral movement, and integration with trading and payment workflows all start to matter more than tokenization itself. On Aptos, those flows sit on infrastructure designed for continuous, high-frequency activity rather than static issuance.

You may also like: Forget Meme Coins: Tokenized Stocks and RWAs Are Becoming Fastest-Growing Categories Coinbase to Launch Tokenized Stocks For Non-US Customers BlackRock Rolls Out Bitcoin Income ETF as Demand for Covered Calls Grows What we’re seeing across the industry is a transition from proving assets can be tokenized to determining whether blockchain infrastructure can support real financial activity at scale. The networks that benefit are increasingly the ones capable of supporting continuous market activity, not just issuance.

What do you think is driving the recent increase in Securitize-related activity on Aptos specifically?

As assets become active in markets, operational requirements become much more important.

Tokenized funds are not static holdings. They move through settlement processes, collateral workflows, liquidity venues, and treasury operations. That creates a very different infrastructure requirement than simply recording ownership on-chain.

Aptos has now processed more than 5 billion transactions, maintains approximately 30-millisecond block times, and has delivered 99.99% uptime since mainnet launch. Those are the types of operational characteristics institutions evaluate because they reduce uncertainty around execution.

What we’re seeing across the industry is activity increasingly concentrating on infrastructure that has already demonstrated reliability under real-world conditions rather than theoretical performance.

BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, tokenized by Securitize, expanded to Aptos alongside several other chains, bringing one of the largest tokenized fund products into the Aptos ecosystem. What does that signal about Aptos’ position in the institutional RWA market?

The signal is that infrastructure choices are being made at a much more technical and operational level. BlackRock is not selecting chains for visibility. It is evaluating whether infrastructure can support regulated financial products operating at scale with predictable settlement and performance.

The expansion of BUIDL through Securitize onto Aptos reflects that evaluation process. It signals confidence that Aptos meets the requirements for institutional-grade financial products, particularly around consistent performance, reliability, and the ability to support continuous market activity.

More broadly, it reinforces Aptos’ positioning in the RWA market as infrastructure designed for high-frequency, always-on financial systems where tokenized funds, settlement flows, and collateral movement need to operate without friction at scale.

The takeaway is that institutional adoption is increasingly converging on infrastructure capable of supporting real financial market operations on-chain, not just tokenization experiments.

A lot of the discussion around tokenization still focuses on future potential, including tokenized stocks and other multi-trillion-dollar markets. What are tokenized real-world assets actually being used for onchain today?

Today, adoption is concentrated in relatively familiar financial instruments.

Money market funds, Treasury products, private credit, and short-duration fixed income assets account for much of the activity. Examples include products such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI.

What’s notable is that institutions are not necessarily starting with entirely new asset classes. They’re starting with assets where operational improvements can be realized immediately through faster settlement, reduced reconciliation, improved collateral mobility, and greater programmability.

In many ways, the first wave of tokenization is less about changing what assets are and more about changing how financial infrastructure operates around those assets.

For tokenized assets to move from early adoption to institutional scale, what infrastructure matters most: speed, settlement finality, compliance tooling, identity, liquidity, custody, interoperability, or something else?

Every component matters: compliance, custody, identity, liquidity, interoperability, and settlement.

But reliability is the prerequisite.

Institutions can solve many operational challenges. What they cannot solve is infrastructure that behaves inconsistently under load. Financial systems operate continuously, so sustained performance matters far more than peak performance.

Once reliability is established, the rest becomes an integration challenge across custody, compliance, trading, and liquidity.

Increasingly, institutions are evaluating blockchain infrastructure the same way they evaluate traditional financial infrastructure: based on resilience, predictability, and uptime.

Aptos has often positioned itself around performance, scalability, and reliability. How do those technical priorities translate into real advantages for institutions issuing or managing tokenized assets on-chain?

The best infrastructure is infrastructure that fades into the background.

Institutions are not trying to optimize for blockchain activity. They are trying to operate financial products efficiently and predictably. Performance only matters if it translates into operational certainty.

Features like parallel execution, fast finality, and the safety of Move help ensure institutions can focus on the asset and workflow rather than the underlying infrastructure.

As tokenized assets, stablecoins, and automated financial systems scale, this is where markets and machines begin to converge. In that environment, consistent execution matters far more than peak throughput. That’s where technical architecture becomes a business outcome.

As more financial assets move on-chain, how should the industry think about the relationship between public blockchain transparency and the privacy or compliance requirements of traditional financial institutions?

Transparency and privacy are not opposing goals.

Institutions need auditability, regulatory oversight, and verifiable settlement, while also requiring confidentiality around sensitive financial activity.

The long-term solution is not choosing one over the other. It is building systems where outcomes can be verified without unnecessarily exposing underlying information.

That becomes increasingly important as markets become more automated and trust shifts from manual processes to cryptographic verification.

Looking ahead, what role do you want Aptos Labs to play in the next phase of institutional blockchain adoption: infrastructure provider, ecosystem builder, capital markets partner, or something broader?

Markets are already moving on-chain through tokenized assets, stablecoins, and settlement infrastructure. At the same time, machine-driven systems are emerging that can transact, allocate capital, and interact directly with those markets.

Aptos is being built to support both. That means providing the infrastructure for financial markets to operate at scale while enabling increasingly autonomous systems to participate in the economy.

Performance, reliability, and continuous operation are not optional characteristics in either environment. They are foundational requirements.

We believe the convergence of markets and machines will drive the next phase of infrastructure demand.

African businesses are going global. The financial infrastructure helping them get there has not kept up, until now.

Daya, a stablecoin-native payments company founded by Nigerian entrepreneurs, has raised $2.4 million in pre-seed funding to build what it describes as a financial operating layer for African businesses that operate across borders. 

The round was led by Hivemind Capital, with participation from Lattice, Alliance, Globelink, and Aptos Foundation.

The problem Daya is solvingAfrican businesses that import, export, hire across countries, or manage treasury in multiple markets typically rely on a patchwork of local banks, foreign exchange desks, crypto ramps, payment processors, and manual spreadsheets to move money. 

The result is slow settlement, opaque exchange rates, trapped working capital, and little visibility into where money is at any given moment.

Daya's platform consolidates all of that into a single dashboard. Businesses can collect payments, convert currencies, hold value in stablecoin wallets, and move money globally, routing each transaction through the best available payment rail automatically. 

The platform supports virtual accounts in U.S. dollars, Hong Kong dollars, and Chinese yuan, and also offers APIs for developers who want to embed cross-border payment infrastructure into their own products.

Who is building it?Daya was founded by Aleph L and Paul Joe, both Nigerian operators with deep roots in African financial infrastructure. The pair previously co-founded Helicarrier, one of Africa's earliest crypto exchange and stablecoin remittance platforms, which was backed by Y Combinator in 2018. 

Both founders have also held roles at Circle, Microsoft, and Lyrik Ventures, giving them experience across stablecoin infrastructure, developer APIs, and African fintech.

"The winners in this market will not just own the payment rails; they will own the workflows," said Paul Joe, co-founder of Daya. 

"That is why Daya is building both the application layer that companies use every day and the API layer that platform developers can build on top of. We want cross-border payments to feel like modern software: programmable, transparent, compliant, and fast."

Why investors are paying attentionThe funding round brings together investors with a specific interest in the Africa-global payments corridor. 

Hivemind Capital led the round, while Aptos Foundation joined as a strategic backer.

Aptos Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to the adoption and advancement of the Aptos blockchain, a high-performance layer-1 network built for speed, safety, and scalability. 

The foundation has committed over $150 million in grants to support builders developing real-world financial applications on the network.

"Stablecoins are becoming essential infrastructure for businesses that operate across borders, but the real unlock comes when payments, FX, treasury, and reconciliation can move through one system," Aptos Foundation senior vice president Ash Pampati said. 

He added, "Daya is building for markets where faster settlement, lower costs, and better access to dollar liquidity can have an immediate impact."

Globelink Holding, a Web3 payments firm with a footprint in Asia and Latin America, also participated and pointed to the scale of the opportunity. 

According to Afreximbank data, Africa exported $189.5 billion in goods to Asia in 2024, while Asia accounted for 28.5% of Africa's $769 billion in imports, implying more than $400 billion in annual two-way trade-linked payment flows between the two regions.

"The Asia-Africa corridor alone shows the scale of the opportunity," said Kent Cai, CIO at Globelink Holding. 

Kayla Phillips at Hivemind Capital framed the company as a gateway to the global dollar economy. 

The bigger pictureThe raise comes at a moment of significant structural change in African cross-border payments. The African Continental Free Trade Area is pushing the continent toward a unified single market. 

Payment systems such as PAPSS are reducing reliance on correspondent banking and third-currency settlement. Stablecoins are increasingly being used as practical dollar rails in markets where businesses face currency volatility and fragmented liquidity, moving through decentralized exchanges and DeFi infrastructure in ways that make programmable cross-border payment tools more viable than ever.

Daya plans to use the funding for product development, corridor expansion, licensing, compliance infrastructure, and partnerships with local and global financial institutions.

Clearpool has just introduced Oxygen (O2), a creative liquidity layer meant to run Ozean. Designed by Clearpool, Ozean is a blockchain for Real-World Assets (RWA). With Ozean, real-world assets can be easily integrated into DeFi, and native yield can be accessed on-chain. 

📢 Introducing Oxygen (O2): The #RWA Liquidity Layer driving the growth of #Ozean🌊!

💧O2 combines tokenized treasuries, RWAs, major crypto assets and yield-bearing tokens into a unified asset basket, supporting critical functionalities like swaps, lending, and… pic.twitter.com/B6juwGN0X3

— Clearpool (launching Ozean🌊) (@ClearpoolFin) September 18, 2024 Clearpool is a decentralized financial ecosystem that incorporated the first permissionless marketplace for unsecured institutional liquidity.

Clearpool’s permissionless single-borrower pools enable organizations to obtain short-term capital while offering decentralized finance lenders access to risk-adjusted rewards based on interest rates established by market consensus. These pools are driven by the market forces of supply and demand.

Ozean is the first compliant RWA yield chain. Clearpool launched it. It is built on top of and supported by Optimism. 

More About the Oxygen (O2) Additionally, Oxygen (O2) is a liquidity layer of the next generation explicitly developed for the Ozean network. By utilizing O2, a unified basket that includes RWAs, tokenized treasuries, liquid crypto assets, and yield-bearing tokens is achieved, which serves as the foundation of Ozean’s liquidity architecture. This basket forms a solid liquidity pool that serves as the foundation for the Ozean ecosystem by supporting essential services such as swaps, lending, and collateralization.

Oxygen provides a new liquidity solution. This approach involves incorporating tokenized treasuries, RWAs, and liquid cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) into a liquidity layer. This enables new enterprises to have access to liquidity at lower prices and with fewer token incentives, which fosters more time—and resource-efficient growth and participation in the market.

Oxygen pools are very different assets, including major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, tokenized treasuries, and yield-bearing tokens. This enables users within the Ozean ecosystem to effortlessly participate in swaps, lending, and collateralization, granting them power.

Aside from generating revenue from assets like lending protocol tokens and tokenized treasuries, Oxygen also contributes liquidity to the market. This return is reinvested, enhancing liquidity and providing contributors with further opportunities to create supplementary income.

How Oxygen Helps Ozean Grow Oxygen’s robust liquidity layer is crucial to Ozean’s expansion. It enhances the availability of funds, the adaptability of financial operations, and the facilitation of various applications, including trading, lending, and issuing decentralized digital currencies.

Oxygen ensures sufficient liquidity to satisfy user demand in trading, lending, and collateralization operations on Ozean by diversifying its asset portfolio and making regular rebalancing adjustments.

Oxygen enhances lending procedures on Ozean by allowing users to borrow and lend against a wide range of assets, including RWAs and yield-bearing tokens. This promotes capital efficiency throughout the ecosystem.

By including RWAs, Oxygen enables the creation of stablecoins backed by physical assets, such as tokenized treasuries. These stablecoins boost confidence in volatile markets, increasing user adoption and involvement. Users can stake O2 to earn fees and use their holdings to raise extra funds. These opportunities encourage platform involvement, creating an autonomous environment that consistently attracts liquidity and growth.

Launched as the 22nd project on Binance Launchpad, the Lazio Fan Token (LAZIO) will allow its holders to vote on club activities and receive exclusive offers from the Italian football club.

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has become the new (main) shirt sponsor of the Italian football club S.S. Lazio. The partnership agreement between Binance and Lazio is worth over 30 million euros and will last for up to two years, with the option to extend into the third year.

In an official press release, Lazio President Claudio Lotito stated, “We are very pleased with this new international partnership. Our collaboration with Binance will allow us to expand our digital presence and connect with our fans and followers around the world like never before.”

Moreover, like other sports fan tokens, LAZIO operates as a governance token. It grants its owners the freedom to vote on club decisions and access to special rewards and benefits, which will be announced after the token officially launches on October 21st.

Additionally, the Lazio fan token is not the only football fan token available in the blockchain world. Other successful launches include the Manchester City Fan Token (CITY) and the Paris Saint-Germain Fan Token (PSG).

PSG experienced a significant price increase, growing by over 300% and reaching an all-time high of $61.23, following the shocking transfer of one of football’s greatest players, Messi, from Barcelona to PSG in 2021.

Therefore, a player’s transfer also has the potential to increase the prices of fan tokens. Thus, if Lazio incorporates major players into its squad, significant price increases in the fan token could be seen.

Additionally, LAZIO token holders will have the right to vote on club decisions, receive special club discounts, and possibly have a say in future player transfers and other important decisions that shape or transform a football club.

Furthermore, the LAZIO fan token serves as an opportunity for fans worldwide to become a part of S.S. Lazio and elevate its global fan base to another level.

How to Buy Lazio Fan Token?The Lazio Fan Token will be available for purchase on Binance today at 14:00. To buy LAZIO, one must first register with Binance and then send fiat money. After sending fiat currency like dollars, one can proceed to buy LAZIO in the trading pairs of Bitcoin (BTC) $60,983, Tether (USDT), Turkish Lira (TRY), and Euro LAZIO.

Additionally, on Binance, users can place buy orders not only at the market price but also at a lower value. To do this, use the Limit tab and enter the amount and price you wish to pay for the purchase.

FC Porto is reportedly adding Norwegian midfielder Eirik Granaas to its roster in a deal worth €2.5 million plus add-ons, plucking the teenager from Fredrikstad FK. The signing puts Porto in competition with some of Europe’s biggest clubs for one of Scandinavian football’s most talked-about young talents.

Granaas, born on March 24, 2010, made his professional debut at 15. He’s been drawing comparisons to Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard in both potential and playing style.

The deal and the hype around Granaas The reported transfer fee of €2.5 million plus performance-related add-ons represents a significant premium over Granaas’s estimated market value of approximately €900,000. Porto would be paying nearly three times that valuation.

Granaas joined Fredrikstad FK on July 1, 2025, signing a contract through December 31, 2027. His time at the Norwegian club was brief but apparently impressive enough to attract serious attention from across Europe.

Interest from Premier League heavyweights emerged in April 2026. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle were all reportedly tracking Granaas, making Porto’s move look like an attempt to beat England’s spending machine to the punch.

It should be noted that the reported transfer to FC Porto remains unverified as of June 18, 2026, with no records of the deal confirmed in major transfer databases or news coverage.

What this means for Porto’s fan token FC Porto launched its fan token, PORTO, in November 2021 on the BEP-20 network. The token currently trades around $0.55 with a market cap of approximately $6 million.

A splashy signing of a hyped teenager might generate social media buzz, but the correlation between transfer news and fan token price action has been unreliable. The Granaas signing alone is unlikely to move the needle for PORTO in any sustained way.

Fan tokens are not equity. PORTO token holders don’t own a share of the club’s transfer profits and receive no direct financial benefit when Porto sells a player for a gain.

What investors should actually watch Porto’s PORTO token at a $6 million market cap is, in crypto terms, a micro-cap asset, subject to thin liquidity, wide spreads, and significant volatility.

For those watching the PORTO token specifically, the €2.5 million Granaas deal is a reminder that the club remains active in the transfer market. Porto’s business model of developing and selling young talent has generated hundreds of millions in transfer fees over the past two decades. But unless fan token economics fundamentally change, that success story and the PORTO token’s price will continue to exist in largely separate universes.

Santos FC Fan Token nabbed substantial investor attention on Monday as SANTOS price extended intraday gains to over 100% amid a major exchange listing. Notably, with the crypto exchange giant Binance revealing listing for the token, bullish market sentiments appear to have engulfed the fan crypto. Meanwhile, market watchers speculate whether the listing could help the token sustain an uptrend ahead.

Santos FC Fan Token Sparks Optimism With Binance Listing In an effort to broaden trade offerings for users, Binance officially announced listing SANTOS USD-Margined perpetual on October 28. According to the exchange’s announcement, the firm’s future trading arm will launch the SANTOSUSDT contract with up to 75x leverage for users. Starting today at 14:00 UTC, the platform’s colossal user base can partake in futures trading the fan crypto.

The tick size for the digital asset set by the exchange was 0.001. Further, the capped funding rate was set at +2.00% / -2.00%. However, the crypto exchange giant clarified that the perpetual contract remains poised to face potential adjustments ahead based on market risk conditions. These potential changes could encompass adjustments in the future contract’s funding fee, tick size, maximum leverage, initial margin, and maintenance margin requirements. Nevertheless, the announcement by one of the top crypto exchanges has fueled a positive impact on SANTOS price.

Fan Token Soars 100% Notably, with Binance’s listing coming into play, SANTOS price soared over 100% from its 24-hour low and is currently trading at $6.07. The crypto’s intraday low and high were recorded as $3.20 and $7.99, respectively. Notably, the fan crypto’s 24-hour trading volume witnessed a 1552% increase to $220.72 million today, indicating that traders reacted positively to the listing announcement.

Meanwhile, the price gains for the token are primarily attributable to the abovementioned futures listing. CoinGape Media recently reported a similar chronicle wherein the Solana meme coin Moo Deng price skyrocketed phenomenally with its futures listing on the same exchange. Notably, MOODENG price extended gains to 170% to date since October 25 with its perpetual cpntract launch. This chronicle further aligns with the fan token’s futures listing, projecting bullishness on SANTOS price’s future movements.

Biswap (BSW) can be defined as a decentralized exchange (DEX) for BEP-20 tokens on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Biswap promises the lowest transaction fees of any BSC exchange at 0.1% and is committed to innovation in DeFi through its high-quality products and services.

Biswap’s core products include standard DEX functions such as AMM, liquidity pools, yield farming, an NFT marketplace, and an IDO launchpad. Additionally, Biswap aims to:

Get listed on major crypto exchangesImprove the NFT marketplaceOffer cross-chain supportIntroduce limit ordersProvide lending and borrowing servicesLaunch a personal user dashboardDevelop a referral program for the exchangeFurthermore, Biswap has announced a $10 million global incentive program to collaborate with other BSC projects. According to the announcement, partners can receive up to a 90% fee rebate, BSW farming pairs, a launch pool, marketing promotion, and grants for project development.

Launched in 2021, Biswap’s website states that there are a total of 27 team members, all of whom are anonymous. The person sitting in the CEO’s chair reportedly has 7 years of experience in the cryptocurrency space.

Moreover, Biswap aims to stand out with lower transaction fees compared to other decentralized exchanges. For instance, Biswap claims to charge only 0.1%, compared to 0.25% on Pancakeswap and 0.3% on Mdex, Apeswap, and other BSC DEXs. Of the 0.1% fee, 0.05% will be returned to liquidity providers as a reward, and 0.05% will be used for BSW token burning.

Additionally, users can engage in fee mining, receiving up to 90% of the 0.1% swap fee depending on the trading pair. They can also provide liquidity to pools and earn BSW farming rewards. Another significant feature of Biswap is its NFT marketplace, which allows users to purchase NFTs using four cryptocurrencies: BNB, USDT, BUSD, and WBNB. The Biswap lottery is described as a draw where users can win “significant BSW rewards” for participation. Each user can purchase an unlimited number of tickets, with 80% being redistributed back to the prize pool.

Biswap also has its own NFTs under the name NFT Earn, which consists of an NFT Launchpad, an NFT Stake Pool, an NFT Boost, and an NFT Level-Up. Users can buy “Robi NFTs” and stake them to earn profits.

BSW Coin ReviewBiswap attracts attention because it offers users a variety of features in every area. Additionally, considering the importance of transaction fees, it’s not surprising that the DEX is attracting interest from users.

BSW, which has attracted attention especially after being listed on Binance, is trading at $0.88 at the time of writing. With a market capitalization of $119,489,875, BSW is ranked 404th in terms of market value. According to the announcement, the total supply of BSW will be 700,000,000.

How to Buy BSW Coin?BSW Coin can be bought quickly and securely through Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency trading platform in terms of trading volume.

To buy BSW Coin, you first need to become a member of Binance and then transfer fiat currency. After sending fiat currency such as  US Dollar, you can buy BSW pairs by purchasing Binance Coin (BNB), Tether (USDT), or BUSD, which BSW trades against.

Additionally, users can place a buy order at a lower price than the market value on Binance, and purchase at their desired price. For this, you need to use the Limit tab and enter the amount you want to buy and the price you want to pay.

Biswap saw a major 100% spike in hours, just after Binance announced that it would delist the token.

Crypto markets are not always driven by fundamentals. On Thursday, June 26, Binance announced the delisting of five tokens, including Biswap (BSW). However, instead of triggering a price collapse, the delisting news sparked a major rally.

https://twitter.com/Biswap_Dex/status/1938275996056027294

Despite the Binance delisting, the small-cap token rallied 118% in just a few hours, rising from $0.017 to a peak of $0.037. Biswap’s price subsequently stabilized at $0.026, but the token remains up 30% over the past 24 hours.

One potential reason for the price spike is the announcement of a new roadmap by the project. Biswap outlined plans to make the project more decentralized, enabling users to vote on rewards rather than just passively farm the token. The protocol also announced steps toward on-chain governance, as well as updates to its tokenomics.

Why Binance delisted Biswap Binance periodically reviews tokens on its platform to ensure they meet the standards for listing. The exchange considers factors such as regulatory compliance, trading volume and liquidity, security, team commitment, and ownership structure. Binance did not explicitly state why it delisted Biswap or the other tokens. However, the announcement suggests that it failed to meet one or more of these criteria.

Biswap launched in 2021 as a decentralized exchange on the BNB Chain. It allows users to swap tokens, earn yield by providing liquidity, and stake crypto rewards. The token peaked in December 2021 at $2.13 and has since lost nearly 99% of its value.

Since launch, Biswap has faced criticism over the security of its protocol and centralization concerns. In June 2021, Valix Consulting discovered a critical exploit in its code that allowed an attacker to mint unlimited BSW tokens via the exchange. Biswap patched the vulnerability afterward.

Key takeaways:

Play-to-airdrop games have been criticized for attracting profit-driven players who use bots to automate gameplay and accumulate points. The model is accused of crowding out real gamers, undermining the integrity of the game, and devaluing the airdropped assets. To prevent abuse, developers suggest implementing anti-bot measures such as CAPTCHA tests and multi-factor authentication. Play-to-airdrop (P2A), the latest iteration of web3 gaming, has come under fire for attracting profit hunters.

Play-to-airdrop is a strategy to attract users by giving away crypto tokens—called airdrops—directly to their wallet addresses. Users can then sell these tokens for cash on crypto exchanges. To receive the tokens, they must complete certain activities in the game.

People who have been in gaming for a long time believe that P2A games are replete with players who are looking to make a quick buck rather than enjoying the game.

These so-called degens typically use bots to autoplay games, accumulate points, cash out, and chase the next token. According to developers and players, the gold rush is crowding out traditional gamers—who value the fun of playing and the social aspects of the game—from web3’s airdrop era.

Mohsin Waqar, CEO of the game development platform Senet, said the play-to-airdrop model offers developers “significant benefits” for building player engagement and “fostering a sense of community.” However, he said the model is also prone to exploitation by bots and profit-hunters.

“Bots can be programmed to complete simple tasks or farm rewards automatically, undermining the integrity of the game and the value of the airdropped assets,” Waqar told Cryptonews, adding:

“Profit-seeking players may engage in strategies like creating multiple accounts (sybil attacks) or using bots to farm rewards, which can inflate the supply of airdropped tokens and devalue them.”

Play-to-Airdrop Criticized as ‘Gambling’On the one hand, “airdrop hunters” are part of the developers’ broader game plan. Play-to-airdrop uses speculation to market video games to people who might otherwise avoid them.

On the other hand, the quality and sustainability of P2A gameplay depend on converting the “gold diggers” into committed players. After initially drawing in those who are new to the game, developers must make them stay to give the studio its long-term business and cultural footprint.

Manel Sort, the CEO of Games for a Living, believes that P2A is a hard sell. “The use of random and unexpected bonuses in P2A dynamics hook the players, but they also blur the lines with gambling techniques,” Sort, who says to have built and published over 60 titles, told Cryptonews.

“I believe game developers in the web3 space have to decide whether they want to get involved in the gambling space or whether they bet on innovation and fresh approaches to engage the players long-term,” he added.

Game developer Jandindr argued in a post on X that the current form of P2A is not sustainable for studios. “Token should be used to give to your best quality players to retain/ new users where the cost make sense. Now you are spending $100 to get the worst possible user group (sic),” he said.

I am pretty bearish on the current form of play to airdrop

it doesn’t create any long term / sustainable business at all especially in gaming.

Token should be used to give to your best quality players to retain / new users where the cost make sense

Now you are spending $100 to…

— jarindr.eth | zentry ⚡️ (@jarindr) August 19, 2024 One of the most anticipated airdrops relates to the TON-based game Hamster Kombat, which claims to have over 300 million active players. On Aug. 28, the team finally announced that the token generation event (TGE) and subsequent airdrop will take place on September 26th.

The reveal ended months of waiting, as the airdrop, originally set for July, was pushed back to August. At the time, the team said it was fine-tuning its tokenomics—a combination of the words “token” and “economics” used to define the elements that make a cryptocurrency valuable.

In August, however, the Hamster Kombat team announced that it would not set a specific date due to the size of the event. It described the event as a “technically complex undertaking, unprecedented in the blockchain world.”

“Many P2A games have struggled because their tokenomics models are poorly implemented,” Juan Humberto Vivas Lovera, founder and CEO of web3 platform Pixpel, said in an interview with Cryptonews.

“The complexity of web3 games, involving both digital assets and tokenomics, necessitates that tokenomics be adjusted according to game dynamics and how funds are being utilized,” Lovera added.

According to its whitepaper, Hamster Kombat will allocate 60% of its token’s total supply to players as a reward for tapping the screens of their smartphones and completing other in-game tasks like watching YouTube videos.

But even before its airdrop, Hamster Kombat was already facing legal actions from alleged early investors who supposedly created the game, per Russian media reports. It is unclear whether the legal battle over Hamster Kombat’s origin will affect the airdrop.

The project previously said that it turned down investments from venture capitalists to protect users who received the airdrop from becoming “exit liquidity.”

How Game Studios Can Reward Quality Mohsin Waqar, the Senet CEO, said developers need to implement anti-bot measures, such as CAPTCHA tests and multi-factor authentication, to prevent abuse in P2A. The GameFi veteran, whose company boasts over 600 games, 300,000 daily downloads, and three million monthly users, also proposed limiting the number of accounts per user and monitoring suspicious activity using artificial intelligence (AI).

Waqar suggested “tiered rewards, where more valuable airdrops are only accessible to players who demonstrate consistent and meaningful engagement.”

Some of his proposals have been tested and have had some success at Alien Worlds. Waqar said the blockchain-based metaverse game struggled with bots farming points and players creating multiple accounts to maximize airdrop rewards.

Alien Worlds responded by implementing stricter account verification processes and transaction cooldown periods to reduce exploitation. Developers also changed the reward distribution mechanics to make it harder for bots and exploiters to profit without real engagement.

Lovera, the Pixpel founder, spoke about the need for a digital ID-enabled wallet, like Concordium. This will ensure there is one person behind the screen rather than bots. He also suggested a tokenomics model based on tournaments, whereby players can lose tokens if they lose the game or tournament.

Nothing Beats a Good GameA Philippines-based gamer, who preferred to be called Lupin XIV, said that P2A is easier to exploit if there are fewer barriers to entry, if it is referral-based, and if eligibility requires minimal verification.

While bad actors are inevitable, P2A games must attract more committed players to create a balanced gaming economy. When invested participants take up more space in the community, it reduces the likelihood of abuse. Lupin XIV told Cryptonews:

“The gaming experience will play a key role in P2A for both true fans and profit-driven players because a certain percentage of profit-hunters can be converted to long-term players if there are game loops, player progressions, fewer exploits, and token sustainability.”

Ultimately, nothing beats a good game. “The one way to attract players is to create a compelling game that they will stick to regardless of incentives and airdrops,” Lupin added.

“Developers must recognize that the quality of the game will always have greater importance for the majority of gamers than the rewards offered,” Lovera concurred.

Why Play-to-Airdrop?It’s not all doom and gloom for play-to-airdrop games. In web2 gaming, enthusiasts provided valuable beta insights that contributed to community-building and game development. However, developers largely controlled ownership and profit.

The play-to-earn (P2E) model, popularized during lockdown, used blockchain technology to shift power from developers to gamers. P2E rewards players with money, in-game items that enhance their virtual experience, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that give them ownership of these assets.

P2A builds on P2E by adding speculation as a new selling point. Developers leverage the appeal of accumulation and the element of surprise to promote new games. Experts say there are several benefits of the play-to-airdrop model, including:

Increased game time: Rewards are given to players who stay engaged over the long term. Since gamers often don’t know when an airdrop will happen, they remain committed in anticipation. Virality: The uncertainty around reward details creates buzz and drives interest through engaging narratives. Diverse player base: In addition to web2 purists, P2A attracts players who might be interested in speculation. This diverse group may also stay to enjoy the game. “By offering airdrops as rewards, developers can attract a diverse range of players, including those who may be new to blockchain gaming,” explained Senet’s Waqar.

“This approach can help build a loyal community that is invested in the game’s ecosystem, leading to greater longevity and a more stable economy – IF done right.”

2025 was one of the most important years in the history of Alien Worlds. From launch, the goal has always been to give increasing control to the community. This year showed how far that vision has come as players expanded the metaverse through games, governance, tools, lore, and new ways to earn Trilium.

With an average of more than 90,000 daily active accounts in 2025, Alien Worlds remained one of the most active decentralized ecosystems, driven by community builders, creators, and DAOs.

Milky Way Miner

Weekly tournaments grew significantly this year, offering Trilium rewards to all participants. Players staked Alien Worlds NFTs, competed in skill-based mining challenges, and progressed across a polished 2D platformer. Permanent boosts were removed to keep gameplay fair and balanced.

Mercenary Battlegrounds

This strategy title combined tower defense, auto-battler, and tactical mechanics. Staking crew.worlds NFTs unlocked Alien Worlds themed towers, and players battled through six weeks of tournaments supported by Trilium rewards.

A community-built platform that provided mining analytics, land insights, NFT tracking, and performance dashboards. Players used it daily to optimize strategy across the Alien Worlds economy.

Outlaw Troopers

A long-running community-created NFT game on WAX where players deploy Troopers in Encounters to earn FGL tokens and climb seasonal leaderboards. Players run Missions to collect virtual credits, gears, ore, and other resources used across the FGL ecosystem. Outlaw Troopers also introduced cooperative battles against the Orbatroid, where players can team up and compete for a share of Trilium rewards. New events and tournaments are announced through Alien Worlds socials.

Minecrafters

A Magor Union community project that combines the Minecraft experience with Alien Worlds themed gameplay. Players explore the server, complete quests, build structures, and interact with custom features inspired by the six planets. By staking Alien Worlds NFTs, players unlock progression paths and can earn Trilium through in-game activities and event participation.

Eyeke Embassy

One of the most active hubs of 2025. With expanded support through Galactic Hubs, the Eyeke Embassy introduced new Legendary and Mythic Mechs, increased mining and staking rewards, and released monthly one-of-one Mechs inspired by each Alien Worlds race. More than 25,000 NFTs were burned through blends during the event.

Planetary Defense

A strategic community-created game set on Magor where players defend land, launch coordinated attacks, and manage NFTs in real time. Landowners build defenses while mercenaries join raids or protect territories. Players face PvE threats and PvP battles, complete missions, and earn Planetary Defense Tokens. Progression comes from upgrading armies, increasing vote power, improving chests, and climbing the leaderboard.

Meta Battler

A community-built rogue-like deck-building strategy game that lets players use digital collectibles from across the WAX ecosystem, including Funkos and custom NFTs. Attributes are assigned automatically, allowing a wide range of items to become playable cards. Upcoming updates include streamer PvP, roguelike campaigns, NFT loot, and an economy powered by MBP. Players build decks, battle through encounters, unlock rewards, and experiment with new strategies shaped alongside the community.

Decentralization Became More Visible Alien Worlds continued progressing toward a community-directed structure where players guide development, resource distribution, and planetary governance.

Union DAOs Gained Greater Control Over Mining Rewards

Union DAOs can now direct up to 25 percent of their mining reward pool toward community initiatives. This expanded authority allows players to fund tools, games, events, and creative work within their planets.

Election Cycle Adjustments

Planets gained the ability to adjust their own election time frames, giving each community the flexibility to match governance to its activity and needs.

Control Over Custodian Count

DAOs gained authority over the number of custodians for their planet. This lets each Syndicate establish the structure that fits its voters and builders.
