Friend.tech has launched version 2 of its blockchain-based social platform with new features and anticipation for a 100% airdrop of its FRIEND token.

The SPX index is down 1.6%, driven by a rise in bond yields following higher-than-expected employment cost data, raising concerns that the Fed might maintain higher interest rates. The broader cryptocurrency market is down, with Bitcoin and Ether dropping by 6.02% and 6.79%, respectively in the past 24 hours.

Today’s outperformer is FRONT, which jumped 4.6% after Frontier Wallet enabled secure cross-chain asset swaps to Cronos Chain with XY Finance.

 for Bitcoin’s Lightning Network in partnership with Lightspark, offering users instant, low-cost Bitcoin transactions as an alternative to the slower, more expensive traditional Bitcoin network. This integration supports Coinbase's goal of creating a global payments system with transactions costing just one cent and processing within one second. The Lightning Network, operational since 2017, significantly reduces transaction costs compared to traditional finance methods, such as credit cards and wire transfers. This move not only enhances the utility of Bitcoin for Coinbase's customers but also advances the broader crypto ecosystem by supporting faster, more affordable, and more secure global payments.

After the debut of Hong Kong's first spot Bitcoin ETFs, Bitcoin's price fell below $61,000, with concerns it could drop further below $60,000. The launch triggered a "sell-the-news" reaction, contributing to a downward trend and negative net flows in U.S. Bitcoin ETFs. This situation poses risks but may also present a buying opportunity for long-term investors.

 version 2 of its blockchain-based social platform with new features and anticipation for a 100% airdrop of its FRIEND token. The company has already taken a snapshot for the airdrop, which may occur as soon as next week when points balances become blockchain-based. Friend.tech, which debuted in August 2023 on Base, a Coinbase-incubated Ethereum Layer 2, had initially seen significant activity but later experienced a decline. The latest update introduces the Money Club for managing community treasuries and minting tradable collectibles, a new points system for the airdrop, and custom engagement metrics. Additionally, version 2 allows users to customize their chat spaces. The platform currently has $34.4 million in total value locked, down from its peak of $52 million.

Today’s outperformer is ENA, which jumped 7.3% after Ethena's synthetic dollar launched on Swell L2 with rewards and airdrops in pre-launch phase.

The SPX index is up 0.32%, the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain borrowing costs, but investor focus will be on any changes in rhetoric after recent high inflation data. Market expectations for rate cuts this year have decreased, with only one 25 basis point reduction now anticipated, compared to three a month ago. The broader cryptocurrency market is down, with Bitcoin and Ether dropping by 1.23% and 4.01%, respectively in the past 24 hours.

Ethena Labs (ENA), founded in 2023, introduces USDe, a synthetic dollar on Ethereum, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional stablecoins. It features the 'Internet Bond' for global savings, using delta-hedging to manage volatility and aiming to transform the financial ecosystem by enhancing Ethereum's utility. Recently, $USDe is now available on 

. By depositing $USDe during the Pre-Launch phase, users can earn Sats, qualify for a Season 2 airdrop upon the L2 launch, receive additional airdrops from projects on Swell L2, and share 1 million EigenLayer Points. For more details, visit the Swell Network website.

Omnity has launched a new integration that allows for the fee-free trading of Runes tokens without impacting the Bitcoin network. This 

 utilizes the Internet Computer Protocol's chain fusion technology, enabling interactions with the Bitcoin blockchain and other networks without the need for wrapped tokens or off-chain relayers. The initiative, which distinguishes Omnity from other Bitcoin interoperability solutions, aims to address the scalability challenges of the Bitcoin network, particularly in light of increased activity from new technologies and Bitcoin ETFs. On April 20, the Bitcoin network hit a record high of over 926,000 transactions, with Runes tokens constituting a significant portion of this traffic.

Bernstein analysts believe the recent decline in Bitcoin ETF flows is temporary and predict a bullish future with a $150,000 BTC price target by 2025. They remain optimistic about Bitcoin's integration into financial platforms and its long-term acceptance. Additionally, they suggest that a denial of an Ether ETF could benefit Ether and Ethereum Layer 2 tokens. The firm expects the crypto market cap to triple to $7.5 trillion within two years.

 plans to distribute EIGEN tokens via airdrop from May 10 to September 7, targeting users who participated in Ethereum restaking on the EigenLayer protocol. The initial distribution, termed a "stakedrop," will allocate 5% of the total token supply based on activities as of March 15. The airdrop is divided into two phases, with 90% of tokens going to initially eligible users and the remaining 10% to those who interacted with EigenLayer in more complex ways. However, the airdrop excludes users from several countries, including the US and Canada, and implements strict measures to block VPN and proxy users. Future airdrops will reserve an additional 15% of the token supply. The EIGEN token, designed to address specific protocol faults, will initially be non-transferable and non-forkable to support the protocol's growth, with full functionality enabled later.

cat in a dogs world (MEW) is a no-utility, cat-themed meme coin built on Solana challenging the dominance of dog-themed coins in the crypto space.

The world of meme coins is wild and filled with all types of animals, such as dogs, cats, penguins and frogs. In 2024, the meme coin craze is back in full swing, evidenced by the astronomical gains made by top crypto meme coins like 

During this meme coin season, Solana-based meme coins have stolen the show with dog-themed tokens dominating the space. However, a recent cat-themed meme coin is seeking to challenge this dog-themed coin narrative.

cat in a dogs world (MEW) stormed into the meme coin space on Mar 27, 2024, and has been causing a stir with its remarkable price surge. Upon listing, MEW’s price soared by 385% to reach an ATH of $0.0097 within four days.

Let’s explore the MEW coin and find out why it’s one to watch in the thriving 

cat in a dogs world is a no-utility, cat-themed meme coin built on Solana (

It was launched on Mar 27, 2024, to provide a cat-themed token that would be a worthy competitor to the dog-themed meme coins dominating the space.

Barely 96 hours into the market, MEW had pumped by 385% to hit a price of $0.0097, during which its market capitalization reached around $848 million, a figure reserved for more established projects in the market such as 

MEW’s market cap has since shrunk to a more conservative figure of $357 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $59 million on Apr 30, 2024. It’s currently trading around $0.004.

cat in a dogs world has a total/max supply of 88,888,888,888 tokens, of which 90% were burned as

MEW’s formidable success could be attributed to its tokenomics strategy, as burning most of the LP tokens creates a stable price floor and cushions the token against market volatility. The airdrop is also an excellent way to attract attention to the project and create brand awareness, further solidifying MEW's presence on Solana and in the cryptocurrency market as a whole.

Deliberately airdropping and burning the LP tokens enhances the value of the MEW token, while giving it a competitive advantage in the cutthroat world of meme coins.

Cat meme coins have been generating a lot of hype lately. Let's look at a brief comparison between MEW and two other cat-themed coins in the meme coin space.

 (CATS) have caused a stir in the meme coin space. Not only are they both trying to change the dog-eat-dog landscape, but they’ve also approached the market in an innovative way.

That said, unlike MEW, CATS has various utilities in its ecosystem, such as 

. Catcoin’s ecosystem is also filled with a variety of products, such as the Caring Cats charity and a non-fungible token (

) collection. While the two tokens entered the meme coin space at different times, they’ve both managed to draw attention to feline-themed meme coins.

 (OMNI), caused a stir when its price quickly soared after the coin’s debut in December 2023. However, unlike MEW, which is only available within the Solana ecosystem, Omnicat leverages omnichain technology and is available on seven blockchains, including 

While it may be a meme coin, Omnicat leverages 

’s blockchain in order to advance its mission of interoperability in the crypto space. Both MEW and Omnicat have adopted innovative approaches that seem to have paid off despite their meme coin narratives.

You can buy MEW Cat Coin on Bybit as a Spot pair (MEW/USDT) or a USDT perpetual contract (MEWUSDT). To celebrate this Spot listing, Bybit is holding two Token Splash events, 

, with 40 million MEW tokens up for grabs.

, is exclusively for new users, with a prize pool of 25 million MEW. By completing Identity Verification and accumulating a deposit volume of 25,000 MEW (worth 100 USDT), or depositing 100 USDT and trading 100 USDT worth of MEW tokens via your first trade with Bybit, you’ll have a chance to receive 5,000 MEW. Rewards are available on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 5,000 new users.

, has 15 million MEW tokens up for grabs. Simply trade at least 1,000 USDT worth of MEW tokens on Bybit’s Spot market to earn a share of the prize pool. 

Rewards will be capped at 200,000 MEW (around 800 USDT) per user.

While it’s primarily been a dog-eat-dog world in the meme coin space, tokens such as MEW are effectively diluting this narrative. Being one of the top-ranking Solana meme coins, the MEW cat-themed coin has followed others in the ecosystem by skyrocketing in price within a short time of entering the market, flooding Solana with much-needed liquidity.

Despite its slowed momentum — generally attributed to the currently fluctuating price of Bitcoin (

) — MEW remains a Solana cat-themed meme coin to watch when the market starts rallying again.

 is a first-of-its-kind play-to-earn horse racing metaverse game built on the 

. It’s been built by a group of gaming veterans to bring a new and exciting experience to the gaming crypto economy using NFT horses.

Players can own, breed, raise, train, race and even trade horses in this elaborately crafted game. The more wins horses get, the more prestige and value they hold. 

Set in a 3D universe where players can breed, train and race virtual horses to earn crypto rewards, 

 uses its own racing engine and cartoon rendering graphics for a truly immersive environment as players race their own unique horses across breathtaking scenery.

For a start, players are required to choose a jockey (from four free options) to represent them, with the potential to gain a special fifth jockey if they receive the Early Migrator Badge. The jockey avatar can be fully customized, with eight body components to choose from.

Since the horse NFT is the racing engine of the game, a player must acquire it in order to participate in the training program and racing competitions. Like the jockey avatars, the horse NFTs are made of eight different parts, but are randomly distributed to players upon purchase and cannot be customized. Players can choose to release their horses back to nature in exchange for better and high-value items, including rare-grade horses.

For training to commence, the player selects their race of choice and makes it their goal. The chosen race determines the training period, but the length of full-time in-game training is three years. The total number of points acquired during the training informs the final grade, with the highest receiving a Grade S rank and the lowest a Grade F. The higher the rank of the horse, the more utility tokens, better quality food and experience-increasing items the player receives.

Players can choose from two types of games, as follows.

During the training mode, players can engage in PvE race competitions, which are held with NPCs according to the player’s set schedule. The player can access information before the race to learn more about the participating horses and race course stats, and then make changes in running style based on the data. During the race, it's also possible to check other horses’ progress and to see which horses use particular skills, all in real time.

PvP competitions are held seasonally, and the points accumulated from each race lead to token rewards. Top players who achieve high rankings receive more bonuses, and the winner for each season gets to enter the Hall of Fame. Players need to register with a fee for a competition they wish to compete in, but are free to spectate at any competition.

Based on complex algorithms, and at a fee, players can breed their horses to create multiple foals within the set parameters. Inbreeding is restricted, and crossbreeding between parents and children is not permitted. The breeding fees are paid using CRT and DSRUN tokens, and the mating fee for the stallion in CRT. The characteristics of each new horse are randomly created based on the parents' traits.

For the ultimate gaming experience, players can create or purchase different types of NFTs. 

. Each horse NFT is categorized according to statistics, talent, track preferences and skills, all of which affect the quality of the horse. While statistics can be leveled up, talent, track preferences and skills are fixed, and cannot be altered through training.

Players receive a soul NFT when they breed two horses. The soul NFT can also be hatched as a foal after five days. Soul NFTs aren’t movable creatures, so players can't use them in training programs or racing competitions. However, they can trade them on the 

A foal can participate in all aspects of the game except breeding. After 72 hours, however, a foal matures into a grown horse, resembling its parents in appearance and ability. Occasionally, a mutant may be born with capabilities that eclipse those of its parents.

DSRUN is earned through PvP competitions. Its primary use is as a governance token for proposing and voting on the

To limit inflation, protect NFT values and prevent the number of horses from growing indefinitely, the project team incinerates a portion of the consumed CRT and returns all the DSRUN accumulated in the Event Pool as rewards to Derby Star players within various game systems and events.
