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).
