tokens

Amidst the ongoing decline in the value of #tokens listed on Binance in 2024, quote statistics show a sharp decline in the valuations of most assets since their listing. Among the new cryptocurrencies, only 2 - JUP and $WIF
- have shown positive dynamics from the moment they appeared on the world's largest trading platform until today. The rest have shown significant losses, and several tokens have lost more than 80% of their initial #Capitalization .

$JUP
(Jupiter) and WIF (dogwifhat) remained in the plus side amid massive declines, making them unique among the other assets that failed to hold their positions. The cryptocurrency #jup.. posted a 10.5% increase in #MarketCapitalization , while WIF saw a 12.1% increase. In the context of a general market decline, this may speak about the high stability of these assets or about the active interest of investors, which helps them to maintain a positive trend.

On the other hand, a number of tokens showed a catastrophic drop in value. Among the hardest hit are $AEVO , PORTAL, W, and TNSR, each of which lost more than 80% of its original valuation. For example, AEVO dropped in value by 89.7% and PORTAL lost 89.1%. These steep declines could be due to lack of liquidity, high volatility, or weak interest from institutional and retail investors.

The reasons why some of the tokens failed to stay afloat could be related to both high expectations at the initial offering stage and overloaded supply amid low demand. Investors looking for short-term gains may have been faced with the realities of a bear market and lack of fundamental value, leading to massive sell-offs. Notably, most of the tokens that lost most of their value belong to projects focused on blockchain infrastructure or the DeFi segment, where competition is very high.

Introduction

In a noteworthy development, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revised its position regarding the classification of cryptocurrencies, heralding a moment of triumph for crypto supporters. In its amended complaint against Binance, the SEC stated that it does not regard crypto assets themselves as securities. This revelation, though mentioned in a footnote, quickly gained traction among industry leaders, including the Chief Legal Officers (CLOs) of Ripple and Coinbase.

1. Reactions from Coinbase and Ripple's CLOs

Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, highlighted this crucial update in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter). He underscored the importance of the SEC’s admission by quoting directly from the amended complaint. Grewal remarked, “‘The SEC regrets any confusion it may have invited’ by falsely and repeatedly stating that tokens themselves are securities.”
He characterized the language in the footnote as “remarkable,” criticizing the agency for its reversal of a long-standing position on crypto regulation. Grewal also noted the potential ramifications this shift could have on ongoing litigation involving other crypto entities, particularly Ripple. He tagged Ripple's CLO, Stuart Alderoty, in his post, suggesting that Alderoty might be surprised by the SEC's latest statement.

2. Frustration Over SEC’s Inconsistent Regulations

Stuart Alderoty responded with a mix of vindication and frustration. Quoting Grewal’s post, he expressed his views on the SEC's contradictory approach to cryptocurrency regulation. Alderoty stated, “So the SEC finally admits that 1/ ‘crypto asset security’ is a made-up term and 2/ to prove a ‘crypto asset security’ is an investment contract, the SEC needs evidence of a bundle of ‘contracts, expectations, and understandings’?”
He went on to criticize the SEC’s ever-evolving stance, labeling the agency as “a twisted pretzel of contradictions.” Alderoty humorously proposed a redesign of the SEC's logo to reflect their complex legal entanglements.

3. The Ripple Case Under Examination

The SEC’s acknowledgment is a relief for many within the cryptocurrency sector, especially following years of what has been termed “regulation by enforcement.” Grewal emphasized this concern, stating, “That SEC absolutely ‘maintained’ that tokens themselves are securities is clear from the long record of their regulation by enforcement campaign. Why mislead...”

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

The SEC's recent admission that crypto tokens are not classified as securities represents a significant pivot in its regulatory stance, eliciting strong reactions from key figures in the industry. As the crypto community digests this announcement, the implications for ongoing litigation and future regulatory frameworks remain to be seen. The contrasting views from Coinbase and Ripple's legal leaders highlight the complexities and challenges faced by the cryptocurrency sector as it navigates an evolving regulatory landscape.

The #cryptocurrencymarket remains stable, while bitcoin ($BTC
) is aiming for the psychological $70,000 mark. In the atmosphere of optimism, experienced investors are increasingly paying attention to airdrops, seeing them as an opportunity for additional earnings

For crypto enthusiasts, airdrops are a chance to get new #tokens for free and become part of active crypto communities. This week, four interesting giveaways are particularly worth paying attention to.

SupraOracles

The SupraOracles team made a snapshot of user accounts on October 21 and is now preparing to give away SUPRA tokens. The project has already raised $26.52 million from venture capital giants like Coinbase Ventures, HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands and HTX Ventures.

The criteria for participating in the SupraOracles Airdrop were quite simple. They included participating in various campaigns and completing tasks.

The developers of the project also opened access to the checker, so anyone can check how many coins they will get. In addition, participants of the SupraOracles airdrop can choose a plan to receive tokens. Those who don't, will get the coins automatically on a 30-month vesting plan.

The project also launched a program called Supra Starcade. SUPRA 250 million has been allocated for it. Participants will have to perform tasks in the testnet.

Scroll

This week will see the long-awaited airdrop of Scroll. The project, which raised an investment of $80 million, made a snapshot of user accounts at the end of last seven days, October 19.

Earlier, the largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance added the $SCR
token to its Launchpool platform. Users there have already started receiving rewards.

SCR trading on leading trading platforms will begin today, October 22. The project has already opened a page for branding coins. A total of 571,774 addresses were allowed to participate in the giveaway.

The total issue of SCR will amount to 1 billion tokens, of which 15% are intended for the community. Airdrop will be divided into two phases. Within the first, Sroll will distribute 7%, and during the second, it will distribute 8%.

The sentiment around the significant event for the platform remains tense. Users have expressed dissatisfaction regarding the SCR distribution strategy. In addition, concerns have also surfaced about insiders who may have unfairly accumulated a huge number of points.

"The Scroll team is so greedy! After allocating 23% to themselves, they in addition decided to make a sybil airdrop by allocating 1 million+ points to each team member,” wrote one crypto investor and trader on X (ex-Twitter).

Eclipse

Eclipse's first Level 2 (L2) solution, running on the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), has raised a $65 million investment, with Polychain Capital, Delphi Ventures, Tribe Capital, Hack VC and Placeholder Ventures participating in the funding round.

The exact date of the airdrop remains unknown, but the crypto community is expecting an event as early as this week.

In order to participate in the Eclipse token giveaway, you will need to mine non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the mainnet or through the project's official bridge as soon as they go live.

An important task - you need to add the Eclipse network to your wallet before mining NFTs.

Aptos

According to Aptos tokenomics, 51% of the project's total token supply is for the community. The airdrop date almost coincided with the second anniversary of the launch of the projects main network.

Earlier, the Aptos team raised $350 million. The funding round was led by #BinanceLabs , Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), DragonFly Capital, FTX Ventures and Jump Crypto. Coinbase Ventures, Circle and Multicoin Capital also participated.

Participation in the Aptos Airdrop involves #NFT​ minting. In honor of the anniversary, the developers introduced a limited edition of tokens.

The volume of searches on Google for the word “#Bitcoin❗ $BTC
” reached an annual low last week. Google scores search queries on a scale from 0 to 100, depending on the importance of the topic in the total number of queries for all topics. On a scale of 0 to 100, the interest of users from around the world in the first cryptocurrency dropped to 33 points by the end of the week.

At the same time, the volume of search queries for the word “#Memecoins🤑🤑 ” amounted to 77 out of 100 during the same period, but has yet to surpass the previous historical high of 100 points reached at the end of October 2023.

#CryptoQuant CEO and founder Ki Young Ju believes that the number of searches for memcoins will return to the previous all-time high by the end of October 2024, as interest in these digital assets remains extremely high.

Memcoins have exceeded expectations in 2024 and show no signs of beginning to slow down in popularity before the end of the year. Since September 12, 2024, 491,000 new tokens have been created on the Solana$SOL
network.

On Oct. 9, the Solana Floor account reported that nearly 20,000 new #tokens had been launched on Solana in the previous 24 hours, with the majority being memcoins.

The news outlet also noted that by October 12, the total market capitalization of memcoins on Solana exceeded $10 billion, with trading volume of approximately $2.3 billion in 24 hours.

Platforms like Pump.Fun have fueled the hype around memcoins on Solana thanks to a simplified user interface, low transaction fees and access to fast liquidity on decentralized exchanges like Raydium, allowing virtually anyone to issue new tokens.

Earlier in 2024, industry executive Justin Sun announced the launch of SunPump, a memcoin creation platform on the Tron$TRX
network, similar to the Pump.Fun platform on Solana. According to Dune, 90,000 memcoins have been created on the SunPump platform since its launch in August.

Memcoins have been repeatedly criticized by investors, industry executives and business tycoons. Investor Mark Cuban recently stated that he believes “every memcoin is a prepared fraud” and warned the public against trading these highly speculative assets. The rapid growth of new tokens on various blockchain platforms may indicate growing interest, but it also increases the likelihood of questionable projects.
