④ Copy your LetsVPN ID (found at the top left of the App)

⑤ If you paid via Alipay, click on Alipay, check your transaction history for "LETSGO", find the right transaction, open it, and copy the merchant order number to fill in. Follow the prompts for other payment methods.

About 118 million tokens, $ASTER , will be unlocked and available for claiming today at 20:00 Beijing time (100% unlocked), worth around $75M. I wonder if this selling pressure can hold up!!

‼️Important news: Circle Ventures (the venture capital arm of USDC) announces a strategic buy of $AAVE tokens to support the AAVE ecosystem! Personally, I think this is a significant bullish signal. In the short term, we might not see much of a pump, but it clearly shows the strong commitment from the big players to rescue the AAVE ecosystem. Sun also announced a $20 million deposit to support liquidity in the ecosystem. Surely, more whales will join in soon, so let's keep an eye on this.

$AAVE halts buyback! 😱

Aave DAO is reviewing a proposal titled "[ARFC] Halt AAVE Buyback" which aims to officially pause the buyback of AAVE tokens.

The narrative around the ETH chain feels pretty straightforward right now, mainly a few coins related to Old Horse worth keeping an eye on: $ASTEROID $FLORK $KEKIUS. The rest are mostly side projects and digging up old stuff. A lot of folks are pulling out ancient MEME coins from five or six years ago that were worth a few thousand market cap and suddenly pumping them to millions, which is just insane.

The drama around $AAVE will blow over soon, and here are three reasons why:

1️⃣ 1.23 billion in bad debts has been mitigated since ARB froze 70 million from hackers (likely to be returned to KELP DAO), leaving just 160 million;

2️⃣ AAVE has set up a donation wallet, and a number of whales have contributed, with many retail traders chipping in as well (plenty of small-time traders donated a few bucks), and currently, total fundraising has surpassed 160 million (including pledged but unrealized contributions), which is enough to cover the losses;

3️⃣ $AAVE is a cornerstone of DEFI, its role is crucial for the whole crypto space, so many big players won’t let it fail—at least not now. That's why numerous projects and whales are actively stepping in to rescue it, helping to restore confidence.

💴 Major contributors to this donation:
Mantle: 30,000 ETH
Aave DAO: 25,000 ETH
Stani Kulechov: 5,000 ETH
EtherFi: 5,000 ETH
Lido: 2,500 ETH
Golem Foundation + Project: 1,000 ETH
Emilio Frangella: 500 ETH
BGD Labs + Ernesto: 350 ETH

🔸 Additionally, many retail traders are speculating that the donors might receive some airdrops in the future, which is why there’s been a surge of smaller donations in the range of a few dollars.

The top holder of $ASTEROID on the ETH chain (0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126) just upped their bag, scooping up 1.7 billion tokens (worth about $460k) in the last 7 hours. They now hold a total of 8.3 billion $ASTEROID (representing 1.99% of the total supply, valued at $2.28M). I'm wondering if I should ape in. 🤔

Previously, this token took a nosedive due to a so-called OG dump (0xaff2565091e7207191dbe340b8528d02fa78d044), but it's still the top dog.

NFA, DYOR!

Speaking of which, every year there are so many events in the crypto world

I still don’t know what exactly is being discussed

And the big shots always mention BUILD

What is that about?

The pride of the crypto world, DEFI, is about to be disproven

It’s called decentralized finance

But when they say they can freeze your assets, they just freeze them

Freezing a hacker's money is one thing

General Jin, being wealthy and imposing, won't say anything to you

But this AAVE wants to freeze even customer deposits

Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?

The only function of the crypto world now is legal gambling

Everyone knows it

But everyone calls it cognitive monetization

Each of them calls themselves a trader

This teacher and that teacher

Back to the point, in recent years, besides HL

The biggest innovation is probably

On-chain US stocks, or what is called RWA

Look at that, look at that

The biggest innovation in the crypto world is on-chain US stocks

But on-chain US stocks… aren’t they just US stocks?

With this… how can they have the nerve to keep mentioning BUILD every day?

Congratulations $ASTEROID on completing an outstanding washout!

The reason is that today the little girl's mother @rebeccaperrotto received the fee for that ASTEROID from the SOL chain diversion, yes, it's that professional diversion master (born) BAGS plate.

It's understandable to take the money, but then she unfollowed the ETH chain's ASTEROID CTO official account, which led to a crash and a surge.

But unexpectedly, this time the ETH big holders were incredibly resolute, using this washout to achieve a new high feat! The noble chain is amazing!

Playing on the BSC chain with hundreds of K in market value is nerve-wracking, and the SOL chain can also show you a vertical cut at any time, but the dirt dog on the ETH chain, with a market value of 100 million, has plenty of people joining and holding steady like an old dog!

This time, ASTEROID's ten-thousand-fold feat has also revitalized many old coins on the ETH chain, such as $WOJACK, $TROLL, $KEKIUS (old horse narrative), which is worth paying attention to!

KelpDao hacker incident has made new progress: the arbETH project team has transferred 30,766 arbETH from the hacker's wallet, equivalent to recovering about 70 million USD. Currently, the hacker still holds 75,700 ETH (about 175 million USD), and this portion of funds cannot be recovered. AAVE's pressure has decreased significantly, but it still faces great challenges. $AAVE

72K market value buy in 540U down….. down…. so anxious what to do…. already lost one hundred U what to do…… keep holding on…. held on for four months…. wow rebounded… 67K should I liquidate…… 4 days later…. market value 20M… 150M……… damn it

So, which safe-haven assets were chosen? Did you understand?

Will selling off 20 million make you want to see a psychologist?

On January 30th, a guy bought $ASTEROID for 542.5u with a market value of 30k, incurring a floating loss of several hundred U;

After a long wait of more than two months, the price finally slightly rose close to his cost line, so he chose to liquidate at a market value of 24k, successfully exiting with a loss of 120u......

But fate played a joke on him. Just four short days after he liquidated, Musk replied to related tweets about this token twice;

As a result, the token he liquidated quickly soared, peaking at nearly 200 million in market value (currently falling back to 130 million in market value), and the money he sold off is now worth about 20 million RMB 🥹

Maybe some brothers say it's normal to not be able to hold onto the money you recognize, but this token surged too quickly; you didn’t even have time to react, and it was already skyrocketing…

Seeking his psychological shadow area! If it were you, could you escape the pain of such a sell-off?

The amount of funds withdrawn from Aave today has reached $6.6 billion, half of which ($3.3 billion) is stablecoins.

After a large amount of funds were withdrawn, both deposit and borrowing rates skyrocketed, with the deposit rate for USDT and USDC stablecoins actually reaching 13.4%, while the borrowing rate has come to 15%.

Currently, AAVE is still the safest leading DEFI application, and this hacking incident does not involve the AAVE protocol, so the issue is not significant.

BTW, this astonishing interest is really tempting! $AAVE

After $RAVE , there may never be such a drastic increase in this demon coin again. Bitget and Binance both say they will investigate. This matter is very serious, and although it may not necessarily be addressed, in the future, when the market maker wants to pump the price, they will consider: 'Does this count as a violation? Will funds be frozen?'

A user bought 2.79 billion $ASTEROID for $575 on April 17, and now this transaction is worth over $1 million, with a two-day return rate of over 1700 times.

$ASTEROID Narrative Overview:

15-year-old cancer girl Liv Perrotto designed a Shiba Inu plush toy called Asteroid as a zero-gravity indicator for the SpaceX Polaris Dawn mission (which has actually flown into space).

Her biggest wish was to meet Elon Musk, and she personally wrote down 8 questions, the last one being: Can Asteroid become the official mascot of SpaceX?

Liv passed away in early 2025, not waiting for an answer. Her list of questions was left on the bedside table.

Glenn Beck posted this story along with the list of questions, and Elon first replied, "Will answer shortly," and later answered all 8 questions one by one.

For the last question, Elon replied: Ok 😀 —— agreed to let Asteroid become the official mascot of SpaceX.
