$IMU - IMU is a blockchain project focused on building decentralized infrastructure for digital assets and on-chain applications. The IMU token is used for ecosystem utility such as fees, incentives, and participation in network activities. Its value proposition depends on real adoption of the platform rather than short-term market hype.
$FUN - Bybit has listed the SPORTFUNUSDT perpetual contract in its Innovation Zone, supporting up to 20x leverage. The contract uses USDT for settlement with a funding fee interval of every four hours and 24/7 trading availability. As an Innovation Zone listing, SPORTFUNUSDT will incur higher trading fees compared to standard contracts.
$GENIUS - Genius Terminal is increasing its $GENIUS airdrop allocation by 50%, with the token launch scheduled before Season 1 ends on April 12, 2026.
GP points are earned weekly based on trading volume, but all referral-based points were slashed to combat bot abuse. Referrers will now earn 35% of the trading fees from their invitees as part of a new "Cash-Only" referral system.
$ASTER - Aster is now automatically deploying its Strategic Buyback Reserve to repurchase $ASTER tokens using 20–40% of daily platform fees. The program dynamically responds to market conditions to maximize holder value and reduce the circulating supply of tokens. All buyback transactions are executed via a dedicated reserve wallet and are fully verifiable on-chain for transparency.
$TROVE - $TROVE provided very little liquidity and executed a hard rug pull. The current market cap is 600K. All investors have suffered a total loss. (-99%)
Paradex rolled back its blockchain after a data glitch erroneously valued Bitcoin at $0, triggering mass liquidations. The exchange reset the network state to a pre-incident point to invalidate the erroneous liquidations and restore user balances. Trading was temporarily suspended as the team investigated the oracle failure that caused the catastrophic pricing error.
The NYSE is launching a blockchain-based platform to enable 24/7 trading of tokenized stocks and ETFs for global investors. This initiative leverages distributed ledger technology to provide faster settlement, increased transparency, and continuous market access. The move marks a significant integration of traditional equity markets with on-chain infrastructure to modernize global finance.
Vitalik Buterin urged the evolution of DAOs beyond simple token-holder voting, citing vulnerabilities to manipulation and decision fatigue. He proposed integrating Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs for privacy and AI to assist human judgment in complex governance processes. The goal is to build more robust decentralized infrastructure for critical use cases like oracles and on-chain dispute resolution.
Coinbase has launched a new service that enables corporations to issue their own custom-branded, 1:1 collateralized stablecoins. The platform provides the necessary technical framework and regulatory compliance tools for businesses to manage digital assets on networks like Ethereum and Base. This initiative aims to streamline supply chain finance, loyalty programs, and cross-border operations for global enterprises.
a16z crypto argues that DeFi should abandon the strict "code is law" principle to effectively combat persistent smart contract exploits. The firm suggests integrating human-led governance or legal mechanisms to allow for fund recovery and bug fixes when errors occur. This shift aims to move DeFi toward institutional-grade security by acknowledging that pure automation cannot solve all malicious activities.
South Korean customs authorities busted a money laundering ring that illegally moved $101.7 million through cryptocurrency and local banks. The group evaded detection by masking transactions as legitimate expenses, such as cosmetic surgery fees and tuition, between 2021 and 2025. This crackdown follows intensified government scrutiny into illegal foreign exchange movements amid a growing gap in reported trade values.
$GAS(-99% price dropped) - Steve Yegge reflects on his "Gas Town" project and the surge of AI productivity, noting he is declining VC funding to focus on building a decentralized "software factory."
He describes "Bezos Mode," where high-intensity coding with dozens of AI agents (swarming) leads to extreme mental exhaustion and sudden “nap-strikes." Yegge predicts a future where single engineers become 10,000x more productive by using orchestrators like Gas Town to manage autonomous agent patrols.
$NPM - The inventor of npm launched npm meme coin on Bags. npm(Node Package Manager) is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js, used to install, share, and manage code packages (modules)
