According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), OKX has joined the competitive airdrop landscape by launching Cryptopedia TGE Phase 1 featuring the trending SOON SVM project. To qualify, traders must achieve at least $10 in trading volume on OKX DEX and maintain a minimum of 10 USDT in their Solana wallet between May 5 and May 19, 2025 (source: @ai_9684xtpa, Twitter, May 21, 2025). This move intensifies competition among major exchanges after Bybit's Megadrop, offering additional airdrop and yield opportunities for active crypto traders, particularly those engaging in Solana ecosystem tokens.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), the exchange yield battle has intensified, with Bybit Megadrop emerging as a strong contender following Binance Alpha and Gate Launchpad events. In the first Bybit Megadrop round, staking $7816 USDT in a 30-day fixed product earned 282 OBOL tokens, valued at $87, surpassing comparable rewards from Binance Alpha airdrops. Additional USDT interest was also accrued. These verified returns highlight the growing competition among exchanges to attract liquidity through staking and airdrop incentives, directly impacting altcoin trading volumes and user engagement across major crypto platforms (Source: Twitter @ai_9684xtpa, May 20, 2025).

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Gate.io has relaunched its Launchpad after several years, joining the current wave of exchange-driven token launches and airdrop campaigns seen at Binance, OKX, and Bybit. Data from DefiLlama shows Gate.io recorded over $81 million in net inflows in the past three days, ranking it among the top three exchanges for capital inflow. This surge highlights the immediate impact of aggressive airdrop and IDO strategies on user engagement and trading volumes, signaling increased competition among major crypto exchanges and potentially more trading opportunities for market participants (source: DefiLlama, @ai_9684xtpa).

According to EmberCN on Twitter, Bybit has launched its new Megadrop platform, allowing traders to earn new token airdrops by depositing USDT or MNT into fixed-term savings. Participants not only receive regular interest from their savings, but they also accumulate points based on their deposit amount and duration. These points determine the proportion of new token airdrops distributed from the reward pool. This mechanism offers traders an additional incentive to allocate capital into Bybit's savings products, potentially enhancing yield and providing early access to new tokens. For active traders, leveraging Megadrop could optimize returns and diversify exposure to upcoming crypto assets (Source: EmberCN on Twitter, April 30, 2025).
