Tyler Swope Says Two Free Crypto Airdrops Could Outsize Uniswap’s Massive Token Handout

BY
img-ads

Crypto trader and analyst Tyler Swope is naming two free crypto airdrops that he says could be bigger than Uniswap’s massive UNI handout in September.

In a new video, Swope tells his 191,000 YouTube subscribers to prepare for possible airdrops from ETH-backed RAI from Reflexer Labs and their “ungovernance” token FLX.

“So what is RAI besides an Ether-collateral stablecoin? From the team’s description, ‘After almost a year of testing, simulations, and building, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of RAI. RAI is an ETH-backed, non-pegged stable asset whose monetary policy is managed by an on-chain, autonomous controller.’

It’s fully ETH-backed but it’s a non-pegged stable asset… RAI does not hold its peg to $1. What does it hold its peg to? RAI is a free-floating stablecoin so that is to be seen. But the initial launch, it was $3.13.”

The crypto influencer reads a blog post from Reflexer Labs that hints at an incoming airdrop for RAI and FLX.

“’In the next couple of weeks, we will announce our liquidity mining program for the RAI/ETH Uniswap v2 pool. At that point, we will also reveal the Reflexer ungovernance token, FLX… In the meantime, we’re not saying that there will be retroactive mining rewards for the initial cohort of RAI/ETH LPs (liquidity pools), but we’re also not saying there won’t be.’”

Based on Reflexer Labs’ statement, Swope says it is possible for the protocol to airdrop FLX tokens to users who are providing liquidity to the RAI liquidity pool on Uniswap.

Another airdrop on Swope’s radar is PoolTogether (POOL), which he says has strong upside potential due to its connections to a prominent US-based crypto exchange.

“PoolTogether, the no-loss crypto lottery, airdropped their governance token yesterday… So, check your wallets and HODL this one because of who they are connected to. They were one of two projects a certain company’s USDC Bootstrap Fund invested into back in April of last year. The investor was Coinbase. The two crypto companies? One is a $6 billion market cap Uniswap and the other is the $15 million market cap PoolTogether. You get my drift? Coinbase is coming.”

Bank of Korea chief says crypto has no intrinsic value, expects volatility

BY

Amid a major downward correction in the cryptocurrency market, the head of South Korea’s central bank is skeptical about digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC).

Bank of Korea Governor Lee Ju-yeol said that crypto assets like Bitcoin have no intrinsic value, local news agency Yonhap reports Tuesday. The official said that he expects more price swings on the market, stating, “It is very difficult to predict the price, but its price will be extremely volatile.”

Speaking at the National Assembly, Lee also addressed possible reasons behind the recent sharp crypto rally, which led Bitcoin to become a $1 trillion asset. The BOK governor cited a number of factors including global concerns over excessive inflation, growing institutional interest, as well as a massive $1.5 billion Bitcoin purchase by Elon Musk’s Tesla.

“These assets saw a steep rise in the shortest period of time,” Lee stated. “I would…

Whale who sold Bitcoin before 2020 crash cashed out $156M before this week’s 20% dip

BY

Bitcoin (BTC) lost 20% in a day partly thanks to the actions of a single whale, new research suggests. 

Data from on-chain analytics firm Santiment on Feb. 23 showed that BTC/USD dipped to $47,400 after Bitcoin’s second-largest transaction of 2021 took place.

Ghost of Bitcoin sell-offs past returns

The transaction, 2,700 BTC worth $156.6 million at $58,000 per token, resulted in a sale which piled pressure on the market, this snowballing into the largest one-hour candle in Bitcoin’s history.

“As we noted yesterday, there was an 11x exchange inflow spike that initiated #Bitcoin’s price correction from its $58.3k #ATH,” Santiment wrote in accompanying comments on Twitter.

“Further data combing revealed that an address was responsible for the 2nd largest $BTC transaction of the year, an import of 2,700 tokens to the wallet before a quick sell-off.”

Solana-powered AMM Raydium proposes SushiSwap integration to reduce fees

BY

Major decentralized exchange SushiSwap is the latest to consider action to mitigate Ethereum’s extreme transaction fees, and it involves a potential port to the Solana blockchain.

A proposal, which was posted to the SushiSwap forum on Feb. 22 under the codename ‘Bonsai,’ suggests building out the platform on the Solana ecosystem. The integration is intended to mitigate Ethereum’s skyrocketing transaction fees, which have spiked to new all-time highs over the past 24 hours.

The proposal would involve integrating SushiSwap with Raydium’s platform, with the Solana-based automated market maker having launched on Feb. 21.

The proposal’s author, “Handroll,” notes Raydium already features support for SushiSwap’s liquidity pools:”

“We have been working on Raydium’s AMM and liquidity pool protocols since the fall of 2020 and have just launched on our platform […] Raydium’s protocol is already able to support SushiSwap liquidity pools for the Serum orderbook.”

Handroll proposes the integration begins…

$24 million lost in second-largest day of DeFi liquidations

BY

The Feb. 22 crypto crash has sparked the second-largest volume of DeFi liquidations in the sector’s history, with more than $24.1 million worth of loans being forcefully closed within 24 hours.

According to crypto data aggregator DeBank, $13.7 million, or nearly 60% of the losses occurred on Compound, followed by Aave with $5.4 million worth of liquidations.

Yesterday’s liquidations were the second-largest to hit DeFi, trailing behind the $93 million in margin calls that were triggered by a sudden increase in the price of DAI on Nov. 26. 2020. The incident saw DAI spike by 30% on Coinbase Pro — the source of Compound’s price oracle — liquidating more than $88 million worth of crypto loan collateral on the protocol.

DeBank also reported a decline in total value locked from $44.5 billion to $38.8 billion over the past 24 hours. The 12.8% decline marks the largest single daily…

Crypto influencer warns Ethereum fees will drive users away

BY

Prominent crypto influencer Lark Davis, or “The Crypto Lark,” has warned that Ethereum’s competitors will continue to syphon away users should Eth2 fail to launch soon amid ever-increasing gas fees.

Despite predicting five-figure Ether prices in 2021, Davis’ Feb. 19 video, Davis asserts Ethereum’s skyrocketing fees has meant that only “rich investors” can afford to the network, prompting smaller users to switch to competitors like Binance Smart Chain (BSC).

Davis noted BSC is currently enjoying a surge in popularity, with volumes for BSC-based DApps catching up to their Ethereum-based rivals.

Describing the current gas fees prices as “totally loco,” Davis urged Ethereum’s developers to expedite the launch of Eth2 in response to the skyrocketing to prevent a further exodus of users to cheaper alternatives:

“But we’re now to the point where ETH 1.0 – oh we need ETH 2.0 so soon, come on Vitalik, get it going, man –…

Kraken users demand refunds over flash-crash liquidations

BY

Kraken users are demanding compensation after violent flash crashes localized to the exchange resulted in leveraged trades being liquidated amid the sharp retracements recorded across the crypto markets on Feb. 22.

Feb. 22 saw the single largest daily candle in the history of both Bitcoin and Ethereum by linear value, with BTC dropping around $9,500 from $57,500, while ETH plummeted by $400 from $1,940 within the span of 24 hours on Coinbase.

However, it appears that a combination of weak buy support and cascading liquidations resulted in particularly heavy losses on Kraken — with BTC falling 22% to less than $45,000 while ETH declined 64% to find support at just $700.

The public reaction on subreddit r/Krakensupport has seen many traders voice their frustrations. Some traders are even threatening to organize legal action against the exchange, with Reddit-user “dtk6802” claiming to have lost the majority of their…
