Pump of Over 261% with $0.0236 NOT Price Target Emerges as Analyst Notices Bullish Falling-Wedge Pattern
Bitcoin dominance falls further as altcoin dominance grows. Analyst expects major gains ahead for altcoin. Notcoin (NOT) could pump over 261% in the coming months. The price of Bitcoin has sunk further since yesterday going from $96,000 to $94,000 dragging the crypto market sentiment just a little further down. In detail,the Crypto Fear Greed Index dropped to a score of 72 marking an even lower ‘Greed’ market sentiment. This in turn, has led to the continued fall of BTC dominance. Bitcoin Dominance Fall Further While analysts remain certain that BTC price will steadily recover until it pumps further to hit new ATH from $110,000 to $200,000 in the coming new year, most analysts are also keeping a close eye on altcoins. Many believe that with the fall of BTC dominance , altcoin dominance will take over leading to new ATHs for altcoins in the coming year. In particular, analysts are almost certain that the bullish phase of this cycle altseason will begin in January 2025 and a flourishing Q1 will be led by the pioneer altcoin asset, Ethereum (ETH). While a few altcoins have already pumped to set new ATHs in the last couple of months, other altcoins are simply showing strong signs for major pumps ahead.

President Trump nominates pro-Bitcoin Steve Miran to lead his Council of Economic Advisers
Donald Trump has picked Steve Miran, a former senior economic adviser at his 2016 Treasury Department, to lead his Council of Economic Advisers. Miran, known for his sharp opinions on Bitcoin and monetary policy, now steps into a position that will shape Trump’s ambitious second-term economic strategy. Trump announced the nomination on Truth Social, saying, “Steve will work with the rest of my economic team to deliver a great economic boom that lifts up all Americans.” Miran, responding on X, said : “I am beyond honored that President Trump has chosen me to lead his Council of Economic Advisers. I look forward to working to help implement the President’s policy agenda to create a booming, noninflationary economy that brings prosperity to all Americans!” Economic plans loaded with controversy As head of the Council, Miran will be Trump’s go-to figure for economic policy decisions, a critical role given the president’s plans to tackle inflation, renew tax cuts, and launch a wave of protectionist tariffs. Trump claims these will restore manufacturing jobs and boost household incomes, a promise he doubled down on during his campaign. Economic concerns like inflation and stagnant wages helped Trump secure his second term and a Republican majority in Congress. But economists have flagged potential risks in his agenda. See also Afghanistan's Taliban actively trades crypto memecoins despite imposing nationwide ban Some believe deporting undocumented immigrants and imposing tariffs could drive up consumer prices and inflate the national debt. Trump, unfazed, has brushed off these warnings, maintaining his focus on economic growth and price stability. Bitcoin and Miran: A love-hate relationship? While he’s not a die-hard Bitcoin maximalist, Miran’s public commentary on the asset has been enough to grab the community’s attention. Cryptopolitan ran a quick search of the word “bitcoin” on his Twitter and the results show a nuanced—if a bit skeptical—take on the role of crypto in the economy. In March 2023, Miran replied to Cathie Wood’s suggestion that Bitcoin could act as a “flight to safety” during Federal Reserve rate hikes. “Wait, is she saying Bitcoin moving higher is a reason for the Fed NOT to hike rates?” he asked , hinting at skepticism over Bitcoin’s supposed safe-haven status. His more pointed critique came earlier this year when he called out crypto’s contribution to inflation. Miran claimed “I profoundly believe the income/wealth effects on labor force supply due to the crypto/memestock phenomena were nontrivial drivers of inflation. If the Fed cuts into this nonsense, they’ll re-emerge.” His acknowledgment of crypto’s macroeconomic impact, while not overly enthusiastic, shows he’s at least been paying attention. But Miran has also admitted gaps in his crypto expertise. See also UK court finds Craig Wright in contempt for violating order, sentences him to one year in prison In a discussion about Bitcoin’s $1 trillion growth from late 2023 to early 2024, he agreed it likely added to inflation but hesitated to quantify its overall impact. He also pointed out that a huge amount of Bitcoin is lost or inaccessible—“sunk on the ocean floor or stuffed in a mattress,” as he put it.

LayerZero’s Stargate Faces Instability: 25.600 Transactions Stuck After DVN Failure
Stargate is down for over 6 hours. DVN executors failure causes delay in 25.600 transactions. LayerZero works to resolve issues and restore operations. Stargate, a cross-chain bridging solution developed by LayerZero, has faced an outage lasting over six hours due to a malfunction in the decentralized verifier network (DVN) executors. The issue caused significant delays in transaction validation, affecting users across multiple blockchains. #PeckShieldAlert Our community has reported that #stargate is currently down. Do *NOT* use Stargate for cross-chain fund transfers at this time. Transactions are getting stuck in transit. —PeckShieldAlert (@PeckShieldAlert) December 20, 2024 The flaw was initially highlighted by blockchain security firm PeckShield, which advised users to suspend cross-chain transfers while the issue persists. Shortly after, ExVul, another Web3 security firm, confirmed that Stargate had been down for nearly six hours. According to data from LayerScan, around 25.600 transactions are currently stuck in the system, awaiting processing. These backlogged transactions represent a significant impact for users who rely on Stargate for fast and secure transfers between different blockchain networks. The team behind Stargate has acknowledged that the issue was caused by a flaw in the DVN network’s executors. In a statement, LayerZero said that its technicians are working to resolve the incident and restore normality as quickly as possible. In the meantime, investors and enthusiasts are advised to avoid using Stargate for fund transfers until the situation is resolved. This type of failure reinforces the importance of continuously monitoring and improving infrastructure solutions in the cryptocurrency market, especially when it comes to tools that handle large transaction volumes. For projects like Stargate, user trust is essential, and the response of the LayerZero team will be a key factor in restoring that trust. In addition to the technical impact, the outage raises questions about the resilience of decentralized solutions in the face of scalability and performance challenges. The community is closely monitoring the case's developments, while the LayerZero team works to fix the failure and minimize losses.

Best and Worst Memecoins Since ATH: Community vs Corporate
Organic communities like DOG, PEPE, and SPX show better long-term resilience. Corporate-driven tokens like PNUT and NOT suffer steep declines due to manipulation. Memecoins with grassroots support maintain value better during market downturns. An analysis of memecoin performance since their all-time highs (ATH) shows a difference between organic, community-driven tokens and those controlled by corporate interests. Crypto analyst Leonidas recently looked at the top 15 memecoins (excluding AI-driven projects) and found a significant disparity in their value retention. Strongest Performers: DOG, PEPE, and SPX DOG leads in resilience, dropping just 24.84% from its ATH of $0.009999 to $0.007515. This shows the value of a committed and organically grown community. Similarly, PEPE, which declined by 30.79% from $0.00002803 to $0.0000194, and SPX, which fell 33.89% from $0.989 to $0.6538, also stand out for their robust performances. These tokens share a common trait: grassroots support that has helped sustain growth. Mid-Performers: MOG, BRETT, and BABYDOGE Mid-tier performers such as $MOG, $BRETT, and $BABYDOGE have faced declines ranging from 34% to 39%. $MOG dropped 36.44% from $0.000004007 to $0.000002547, while $BRETT fell 36.64% from $0.2342 to $0.1484. BABYDOGE is down 39.01%, with its price falling from $0.000000006227 to $0.000000003798. These tokens show decent resilience, but their losses highlight the challenges of maintaining value. Sharper Declines: FLOKI, BONK, and DOGE Tokens like $FLOKI, $BONK, and $DOGE have seen sharper declines, with $FLOKI falling 44.85% from $0.0003449 to $0.0001902 and $BONK dropping 46.35% from $0.00005825 to $0.00003125. Even DOGE lost 50.36% from its ATH of $0.7316, now trading at $0.3632. These figures reflect vulnerabilities in sustaining market enthusiasm amid bearish trends. Worst Performers: SHIB, PNUT, and NOT The worst declines were seen in SHIB, PNUT, and NOT. SHIB plummeted 71.88%, from $0.00008616 to $0.00002423, while PNUT dropped 63.47%, from $2.2491 to $0.8216.

Sign CEO: Telling Stories That Everyone Can Understand
Author: Xin Yan, Co-founder and CEO of Sign In a few months, Sign will turn four years old. Time flies; we have grown from a simple hackathon idea into a team with multiple business lines, with revenue and funding both exceeding tens of millions. We have witnessed our own changes and growth in the industry, during which we burned millions of dollars iterating on products in search of PMF (macro-wise, venture capital funds have also invested hundreds of billions to find PMF for crypto). Today, I mainly want to write about the changes and perspectives we have personally experienced. Around 2018, when I entered the space, the crypto community was very Cypherpunk, eager to learn about cryptography, blockchain consensus algorithms, the performance of different virtual machines, and so on. At that time, we believed that the main reason crypto had not achieved large-scale applications was due to inadequate infrastructure. Later, around 2021, we had many fast and cheap public chains available, and the main narrative in the industry shifted to the Web3 revolution. Web3 is the next generation of the internet, where we aim to reconstruct the entire network on the blockchain (our first application, EthSign, also started with this idea). This idea is radical and straightforward: we rebuild all applications using the blockchain's standard (public and private key) system, turning many SaaS into protocols while providing free and reliable services to users worldwide. However, in reality, the adoption of Web3 has not been as fast as we imagined. Personally, I have not seen my friends outside the circle continuously onboard to Web3 over the past few years. For startups in this space, the best outcome is to find loyal users within a small community (currently, the main users of EthSign come from Indonesia, Turkey, and Nigeria, countries where the adoption rate of electronic signatures is low but crypto-friendly), while many have already given up their ideals and been acquired by Web2 companies. The adoption of Web3 and crypto has not gone as smoothly as expected, and I believe there are the following reasons: No new functions or user experiences have been provided. Most Web3 products attempt to replicate the features of Web2 competitors while emphasizing security and privacy. However, the reality is that most users do not care much about data privacy or do not trust laws and regulations. The most basic data in the entire industry, the number of wallets, has not grown exponentially, limiting the network effect of Web3. Although both email and crypto wallets are anonymous electronic identities, users still prefer the former because it is more familiar to them. Web3 demands users to take responsibility for everything from the start (they must remember and keep secret 24 words) without providing a user experience that is ten times better than existing applications, new features, or sustained significant economic incentives, which inevitably scares off novice users who are just looking to get onboard. Mnemonic: If you show it to someone else, you will lose everything! Compliance. Essentially, the capabilities offered by Web3 are ahead of the existing systems and struggle to gain regulatory support. For example, we all know the value of peer-to-peer transfers worldwide, but this easily achievable function does not fit well with the current mainstream anti-money laundering frameworks, making crypto payments difficult to integrate into mainstream applications. Since our attempts to hard sell/fomo the entire world to onboard Web3 have failed, we should choose a more conservative and gentle approach, wrapping Web3 into different concepts and creating simple, easy-to-use products. The most successful examples this year share this commonality: Bitcoin ETF. It is far from Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision, but it has effectively brought Bitcoin into mainstream society. The controversy surrounding this issue reminds me of the problems of adapting excellent literary works into films; there will always be people who say that the film adaptation loses the spirit of the original work. However, objectively speaking, adaptations lower the barrier to entry, allowing a more mainstream audience to engage with the original. The Bitcoin ETF alleviates many issues for traditional capital, such as custody responsibilities and investment category restrictions, truly bringing Bitcoin into the mainstream. TON. TON is the native blockchain of the Telegram ecosystem and is an important part of Telegram's goal to become a global super app. Telegram's users are scattered across different countries, and the cost of establishing partnerships with all banks, similar to WeChat Pay or PayPal, far exceeds the cost of running a blockchain. As long as Telegram users can onboard TON, peer-to-peer transfers can be easily realized. However, the first ecosystem project to achieve large-scale onboarding was not DeFi or NFTs, but an application with just one button, Notcoin. Notcoin has only one huge button Notcoin is an application that requires no documentation or introduction; users only needed to tap their fingers to receive Notcoin airdrops in their wallets early on (Notcoin transitioned into a traffic distribution platform after TGE, directing traffic to other ecosystem projects). Notcoin opened up the "tap coin" track, bringing tens of millions of users into Web3 with minimal user education, allowing them to have interest-bearing USD stablecoin accounts. TokenTable is honored to serve most TON ecosystem projects, helping them distribute tokens to users and providing us with our main source of income this year. The success of TON represents the most successful mass onboarding in crypto history, with twenty million addresses created within three months. However, because most users come from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, it has not received enough coverage in the US-centered crypto world. Pump.fun. Pump.fun may be the fastest company in the world to generate one hundred million dollars in revenue. It allows anyone to quickly and easily create a memecoin while preventing early rug pulls. This platform has brought memecoins from the margins to the mainstream, making memecoins a new way for users to participate in predicting mainstream event changes or capturing various traffic values. I don't have data, but many of my friends who recently joined crypto bought memecoins on Pump.fun as their first application. Over the past year, I feel that the opinions of my friends have diverged into two distinct camps, or rather, fled to both ends of the IQ curve. One camp, with an IQ of 150, remains obsessed with discussing how to build the infrastructure for large-scale applications faster and cheaper, while the other camp has given up on doing anything, believing that any product or even webpage is redundant, and that only CA matters. We proudly and bravely sit in the middle of the curve, packaging new technologies into simple products, striving to connect more closely with the real world and gain funding and traffic. I believe the industry has moved past the era of selling concepts; the vast majority of people already understand crypto but lack blockbuster applications to onboard them. We are in a time window for mass onboarding; the infrastructure has been established, and the future will resemble the application era of the internet. Entrepreneurs need to find the right angles to attract and retain users. This realization has been painful. Earlier this year, we launched Sign Protocol, an omni-chain attestation system. But as you might ask, what is attestation? This is a technical concept that takes us five minutes to explain. We wanted to establish standards for on-chain proof and data verification, but most of our time was spent explaining technical concepts. So in the second half of the year, we began promoting applications based on Sign Protocol, such as the on-chain verifiable ID system we created for Sierra Leone and ZuThailand, and TokenTable, which distributes and unlocks tokens for users. This actually promoted the adoption of Sign Protocol. We learned a lesson that seems laughably simple in web2: Sell functionality/experience/service, not technology/standards. Sign Protocol's npm download volume: We did not promote it in the second half of the year, but the data is still good. We are not a team satisfied with just creating demos to validate feasibility; we genuinely want to drive our products to be used by tens of millions of users and change their perceptions of crypto. We will aggressively collaborate with the traditional world (which is not as traditional as it seems) to seek to bring already digitized information and trust into the barren world of chains. Cyberspace, while independent, is not isolated from the real world. Over the past few years, we have witnessed the developmental bottlenecks of purely on-chain native projects due to insufficient data, information, and applications on-chain. For example, on-chain lending struggles to develop because it cannot utilize users' credit systems from the real world, always requiring excessive collateral from users. In the future, we will focus on mass onboarding, using the latest technologies (mainly zk) to allow more users to easily use crypto and enjoy its conveniences. Our new products will address the most fundamental issues: identity and trust.
Bitcoin price 2025 cycle target ‘minimum’ starts at $175K — Analyst
Despite sideways volatility, Bitcoin (BTC) price has closed a daily candle above $95,000 every day since Nov. 27, indicating continuous buying pressure from investors at a higher range. Bitcoin 1-day chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingView While price fluctuations or choppy markets can last weeks, an Ernst and Young consultant says the long-term price expectation for Bitcoin in 2025 remains high. Bitcoin target ranges between $173K to $461K in 2025 Danny Marques, a Bitcoin mining industry researcher, recently highlighted a study based on the past three bull cycles. The study includes BTC’s post-halving performance and targets based on Fibonacci extensions. Bitcoin price target based on Fibonacci extensions by Danny Marques. Source: X.com The researcher said that after “back-testing” data over the past three cycles, Bitcoin has chronologically topped around the 3.618, 2.272, and 1.618 Fibonacci levels in 2012, 2016, and 2020. Thus, the minimum target attained by BTC during each cycle is the 1.618 FIB level. Marques added, “Assuming that the macro does NOT deteriorate like in 2020, prior cycle observations show that Bitcoin could land anywhere between the 1.618 and the 2.272 fib. In other words, 1 BTC $173,646 - $461,135 in fiat terms.” In Q3, Cointelegraph reported a similar study that evaluated BTC targets for 2025-2026 based on decaying peaks from past cycle highs. The research was conducted through an “exponential decay fit analysis,” which led to a minimum price target of $199,998 for BTC by the end of Q4 2025. However, the upper range was more conservative at $288,211 compared to Marques’ maximum price target of $461,135.

However, On-Chain College, an anonymous Bitcoin analyst, said miners are “diamond handing” their BTC in 2024.

The analyst added, “Long gone are the days of mine BTC and sell to cover costs plus keep profit. A new wave of more consistent hodling AND buying from miners is upon us.” From a technical standpoint, Bitcoin's price continues to coil at a higher price range, with immediate targets between $115,000 and $126,500. Unless BTC closes a daily candle below $95,000 or drops below $90,200, the crypto asset is expected to attain higher prices before the end of 2024. Bitcoin 1-day chart.

Telegram Game 'TapSwap' Sets Token Launch and Airdrop for January
Popular Telegram tap-to-earn game TapSwap revealed it will launch its TAPS token on The Open Network (TON) alongside an airdrop of rewards for players in the second half of January 2025. TAPS will become a critical resource in the TapSwap ecosystem, the developers said, granting holders access to tournaments, staking rewards, and governance participation. Whether or not a player receives the TAPS airdrop will be determined by the player’s overall engagement within TapSwap—in other words, how often a player interacted within TapSwap or played the game. Users will need to connect their wallet to receive the airdrop. What started as a tap-to-earn game on Telegram, in which users repeatedly tap a button on the screen to earn in-game coins, has since evolved. In August, the game added a city builder mode called “Tappy Town,” and achievements accrued through that experience will also affect the likelihood of receiving a TAPS airdrop. Alongside the airdrop, the game’s evolution is expected to continue. TapSwap is transitioning into a skill-based platform, offering competitive tournaments to players and “leaving traditional pay-to-win models behind,” a representative for the game told Decrypt. The platform has amassed more than 50 million users globally since its launch in February. Telegram gaming and participation on The Open Network has blossomed this year, led by popular mini apps and games like Hamster Kombat and Notcoin. Notcoin famously dropped more than 35 million players over 80 billion tokens earlier this year, gaining listings from Binance and OKX in the process. The Open Network is a layer-1 network created by Nikolai and Pavel Durov, the co-founders of messaging app Telegram. While development began internally, the company dropped the project in 2020 under regulatory scrutiny, leading a community of external developers to continue building the ecosystem. Its native token, Toncoin (TON), has risen nearly 200% in the last year, pushing it to more than a $16 billion market cap. That’s made it the 16th-largest crypto asset by market capitalization, according to CoinGecko. Edited by Andrew Hayward

Bitcoin Price Forecast: Analysts Suggest Targets Between $175,000 and $461,000 by 2025
Bitcoin is making headlines as analysts project its price could soar between $175,000 and $461,000 by 2025, driven by sustained buying pressure. Despite prevailing market fluctuations, historical trends suggest a significant price increase for Bitcoin, especially post-halving cycles. “Assuming that the macro does NOT deteriorate like in 2020, prior cycle observations show that Bitcoin could land anywhere between the 1.618 and the 2.272 fib,” states industry researcher Danny Marques. Optimistic forecasts predict Bitcoin prices reaching up to $461,000 by 2025, fueled by historical trends and long-term hodling from miners. Bitcoin Target Ranges Between $175K to $461K in 2025 The recent analysis by Danny Marques, a researcher specializing in the Bitcoin mining sector, proposes ambitious price targets for Bitcoin by 2025. Highlighting patterns observed from previous bull cycles, Marques emphasizes that Bitcoin’s price trajectory often aligns closely with Fibonacci extensions. According to his comprehensive study, the minimum price of Bitcoin during these cycles is typically observed at the 1.618 Fibonacci level, suggesting a baseline target of $173,646. Marques notes that historical data from the last three cycles in 2012, 2016, and 2020 supports this projection, as Bitcoin reached its peak prices around these same Fibonacci levels. He adds, “Assuming that the macro conditions remain stable, Bitcoin could potentially reach a range of $173,646 to $461,135.” Furthermore, a related study reported by Cointelegraph indicates a somewhat conservative upper target of $288,211 for the same period, suggesting that while some forecasts are optimistic, there is a broad consensus on the potential for substantial price increases. Bitcoin Miners are “Diamond Handing” BTC In a significant development, Bitcoin mining operations are reportedly adopting a “diamond handing” approach, holding onto their BTC rather than selling. This behavior marks a stark contrast to previous cycles, where profit-taking was prevalent after price rallies. On-Chain College, an anonymous analyst, highlighted that miners sold a substantial amount of BTC during the last bull run but have significantly reduced their sales pressure in 2024. “Long gone are the days of mine BTC and sell to cover costs plus keep profit. A new wave of more consistent hodling AND buying from miners is upon us,” the analyst noted, underscoring a shift in the mining strategy. This sentiment aligns with the observed miner net position change, which has plummeted from 41,000 BTC in early 2021 to just 3,700 BTC by December 2024. As Bitcoin cotinues to stabilize above $95,000, immediate price targets for the cryptocurrency have emerged between $115,000 and $126,500. Analysts suggest that unless the price drops below these crucial levels, the potential for upward movement remains strong. Market Outlook and Analysis With Bitcoin’s price breaking above $100,000 recently, emerging signals from various analysts indicate that the market might be poised for an explosive upwards trajectory. Titan of Crypto, an independent crypto market analyst, has pointed out that Bitcoin’s recent movements align with historical breakouts that typically precede substantial price surges. “Such breakouts often signal explosive upward moves,” he emphasized, indicating a strong bullish sentiment in the market. As traders and investors alike keep a close watch on Bitcoin’s performance, market sentiment remains relatively optimistic, particularly within the context of its anticipated post-halving price behavior. It’s crucial for investors to remain informed and alert to these developments, especially considering the potential for both volatility and opportunity in the cryptocurrency landscape. Conclusion In conclusion, Bitcoin’s future price targets appear to be marked by significant historical patterns and evolving market dynamics. Analysts’ forecasts suggest a promising range between $175,000 and $461,000 by 2025, driven by factors such as sustained buying from miners and the influence of past bull cycles. As the market navigates this landscape, it is essential for investors to stay informed and prudent in their strategies, keeping in mind that, while bullish trends are apparent, volatility remains an inherent characteristic of the cryptocurrency market.

The Notcoin project team has launched Launchpool Earn, intending to provide token rewards for Telegram wallet users
On December 11, the team behind Notcoin, Open Builders, launched the Launchpool platform Earn, planning to reward users who hold TON-based tokens in the Telegram Wallet application. It is understood that Telegram Wallet was developed by TON Foundation and users can directly manage and trade cryptocurrencies through this platform. Earn is the first such program launched by Notcoin, aiming to encourage user participation in the ecosystem by providing a way to unlock rewards without needing a more complex collateral mechanism. The rewards from Earn mainly come from new project launches; users can participate in multiple project pools at once without having to transfer funds or pledge assets. Currently, rewards are only distributed to holders ranked within top 100k in mining pool.
Notcoin creator launches Earn program offering token rewards for Telegram Wallet users
Open Builders, the creators behind the popular clicker game Notcoin, has introduced Earn, a launchpool platform designed to reward users for simply holding TON-based tokens in the Telegram Wallet app. Built by TON Foundation, Wallet is a feature within the Telegram messaging app that enables users to manage and transact with cryptocurrencies directly through the platform. It supports assets such as bitcoin, USDT and TON ecosystem assets, allowing the buying, selling, exchanging and transferring of these digital currencies. Users can access the wallet by interacting with the @wallet bot on Telegram. Earn is the first such initiative from Notcoin, designed to encourage participation in the ecosystem by offering users a way to unlock rewards without more complicated staking mechanisms. Notcoin was the first Telegram game to pioneer the clicker model, where all users had to do was press a button and earn in-game currency, which later became a $1 billion token airdrop. Nocoin’s pseudonymous founder, who goes by Sasha, set out how the project could evolve in June. The plan for the next four years is for the project to become independent of the team by building sustainable and efficient subsystems, Sasha told The Block at the time. Where do the rewards come from? The Earn rewards come from new project launches effectively airdropping some of their tokens to holders of existing Telegram-linked, TON-based coins like NOT and DOGS, the team told The Block. Users can participate in multiple project pools at the same time, such as the Notcoin Pool or DOGS Pool, with hourly rewards distributed based on users’ leaderboard rankings from onchain snapshots. There are also exclusive pools for Gold, Platinum and Early Notcoin Stakers, the team said. Users can simply request to access the pools, their wallet balance is automatically checked and if they meet the requirements, they can join and start earning rewards without having to move their funds or stake their assets. Conditions vary for each independently operated pool, and although anyone has the chance to participate, currently, rewards are only distributed to the top 100,000 holders in a pool, according to the team. One of the initial projects featured on Earn is BUILD, a community-driven token created to reward active participants across Telegram's ecosystem. Earn is also set to introduce NOT PX tokens this month, broadening the range of rewards and offering additional opportunities for user engagement, the team said. Telegram clicker game craze fuels TON blockchain growth Telegram mini apps are lightweight, web-based applications that can be embedded and accessed directly within the popular messaging platform, which claims to have over 900 million users. Telegram has expanded its crypto footprint this year, with millions of gamers using the messaging app to play tap-to-earn games like Notcoin, as well as Hamster Kombat, Catizen and Yescoin in the hope of earning corresponding tokens on TON blockchain. Notcoin’s NOT token went live on TON blockchain in May, peaking at a market cap of around $1.5 billion before dropping back to its current $782 million level, according to The Block’s Notcoin Price Page . Capitalizing on the games' explosive growth, Telegram also introduced a mini-app store and an in-app browser with support for Web3 pages in July.
Notcoin developers launch the Earn program, offering token rewards for Telegram Wallet users
On December 11, the team behind Notcoin, Open Builders, launched a startup pool platform called Earn, aimed at rewarding Telegram Wallet users who hold TON ecosystem tokens. Through this program, users can receive rewards simply by holding relevant tokens without the need for complex staking operations. The rewards from Earn come from airdrops of new projects that distribute their tokens to existing holders of TON ecosystem tokens such as NOT and DOGS. Users can participate in multiple project pools simultaneously like the Notcoin pool or DOGS pool and are rewarded hourly based on rankings from on-chain snapshots. In addition, exclusive pools have been provided for gold, platinum and early Notcoin stakers. Each pool has its own set participation conditions and currently only rewards the top 100 thousand users.
Notcoin Developers Introduce Telegram-Based Launchpool to Reward Token Holders
Open Builders, the creators behind Notcoin (NOT), are unveiling their new platform, Earn. The product aims to transform how Telegram’s vast user base of over 900 million people engage with and benefit from token holding. With the launch of Earn, Telegram communities now have a new way to grow their token holdings easily and be rewarded for their loyalty to projects they support. Earn Launches for Telegram Communities Earn is Notcoin’s first-ever initiative, designed to reward users simply for holding tokens without the complexity of traditional staking systems. It lets participants receive rewards by merely holding tokens in their wallets. This is as opposed to requiring users to lock up their assets or participate in complicated processes, “Earn is a new kind of launch pool platform built specifically to cater to Telegram communities. We’re giving people a new, exciting way to grow their holdings and stay engaged with the projects that they believe in. With Earn, users no longer need to worry about staking mechanisms or minimum token requirements. All they have to do is hold, and the rewards will come,” Open Builders said in a statement shared with BeInCrypto. Earn differentiates itself from other platforms by offering several unique features that cater to the diverse needs of Telegram users. Among them are dynamic hourly rewards, multiple and exclusive pools, and on-chain snapshots with no minimum requirements. One of the first tokens available on Earn is BUILD. The community-utility token will reward active participants within the Telegram ecosystem. Starting in December, Earn will also feature NOT PX tokens. This will broaden the array of rewards available and provide even more incentives for Telegram users to get involved. “We’re excited to offer BUILD and NOT PX tokens as part of our Earn ecosystem. These tokens are integral to our mission to foster deeper engagement within Telegram communities and reward users who contribute to their growth,” the team continued. This development reflects a shift in user interest away from tap-to-earn games, which once brought significant popularity to the Telegram ecosystem. As reported by BeInCrypto, user numbers have been steadily declining, highlighting waning enthusiasm. Contributing factors include repetitive gameplay, reduced airdrop rewards, cheating, hacking, and cash-out difficulties. These issues have driven players away, leading to a shrinking user base on TON. The fading hype surrounding these games has also caused a nearly 60% drop in total value locked (TVL) on TON since August. TON Blockchain TVL. Source: DefiLlama Whether the new holding-to-earn mechanism achieves sustained user growth remains to be seen. However, it will depend on Telegram’s ability to mitigate user concerns and improve from the failures in tap-to-earn gaming.
Ripple CEO and Former SEC Official Clash Over X
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has recently found himself at the center of a public clash with John Reed Stark, a former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Official. After Garlinghouse’s interview with 60 Minutes, he went on the social media platform X to respond to the Stark 60 Minutes interview, leading to a back-and-forth between the two. The disagreement started when Garlinghouse accused Stark of spreading false information, especially a recent court ruling that XRP is NOT a security. He also didn’t hold back, slamming the media for leaving out key details in their coverage. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to say, “The media left out crucial facts,” referring to the judge’s decision in the ongoing legal issue between Ripple and the SEC. Ripple CEO calls out John Reed on X | Source: X Stark denied Garlinghouse’s accusation of being a “shill” for SEC Chairman Gary Gensler. He clarified that while he holds a strong opinion about crypto, he believes the SEC’s enforcement actions should come to an end. Stark believes halting these actions could help bring clarity to the industry. Garlinghouse, however, stated that while Stark might not be a Gensler supporter, the arguments sounded too much like the SEC Chair. In the interview, Stark had made some bold statements about the cryptocurrency market, claiming it facilitates crime and has little real-world use. Garlinghouse responded, saying that the problem isn’t the crypto itself but rather the SEC’s crackdown. “The SEC’s role in cracking down on the market is the major challenge,” he said. Ripple’s involvement in the political landscape was another major topic during the 60 Minutes segment. It has donated $25 million to the pro-crypto Super PAC Fairshake, which supports candidates who back digital assets. This push for political allies paid off in the last election, where crypto-friendly voters helped secure Republican wins. Meanwhile, the future of crypto regulation could soon shift as the SEC prepares for new leadership. With President-elect Donald Trump nominating pro-crypto Paul Atkins to head the SEC, Garlinghouse is hopeful that the agency will take a more balanced approach starting next year.
