ChainIntellect Coin (HAIN) -POSITIONING AT THE INTERSECTION OF AI AND BLOCKCHAIN

by admin May 5, 2026

written by admin

As digital markets evolve beyond speculation, projects integrating real utility are gaining investor attention. ChainIntellect Coin (HAIN) is emerging as a contender in this shift—positioning itself at the intersection of artificial intelligence and decentralized finance.

Unlike purely narrative-driven tokens, HAIN focuses on enabling AI-powered interactions within blockchain ecosystems. The project aims to support autonomous transaction systems, where AI agents can execute, verify, and optimize financial operations without centralized control—an area increasingly discussed across both institutional and developer communities.

From an investment perspective, HAIN’s early-stage positioning is notable. With a low entry presale structure and a roadmap centered on scalable infrastructure, the project targets long-term value creation rather than short-term hype cycles. This aligns with broader market trends, where capital is gradually moving toward utility-backed assets and real-world blockchain applications.

Additionally, ChainIntellect Coin emphasizes accessibility—offering a simplified onboarding experience and multi-asset participation in its presale phase. This lowers barriers for retail investors while maintaining alignment with decentralized principles.

While still in development, HAIN reflects a broader thesis: the convergence of AI and blockchain may define the next phase of digital markets. For investors evaluating emerging sectors, projects operating at this intersection are increasingly difficult to ignore.

Press Release

DeLorean Brings Its Iconic IP To Solana

by admin May 4, 2026

written by admin

Miami, Florida, May 4th, 2026, Chainwire

For decades, the DeLorean has meant something to people. It’s a car, yes, but more than that, it’s a symbol. Of the future. Of rebellion. It’s the degen car, with the gullwing doors, embedded forever in pop culture. But more than that, it represents the idea that something ordinary could become extraordinary. That meaning has always belonged to the culture, not to any single owner.

Today, it’s not too far from reality. DeLorean Labs, the official Web3 arm of the DeLorean Motor Company, is bridging its native token $DMC to Solana, with support from the Solana Foundation, in partnership with Sunrise, powered by the Wormhole bridge. For the first time, anyone in the Solana ecosystem, everyday traders, DeFi users, NFT collectors, RWA maxis, can hold a piece of one of the most storied automotive brands ever created.

“Seeing a brand like DeLorean move onchain is a big moment. Sunrise is bringing all important assets to Solana, where they can trade in open, liquid markets. We’re excited to bring $DMC into the ecosystem.”

– Saeed Badreg, Co-Founder and CEO, Wormhole Labs

This is the thesis behind DeLorean Labs: iconic IP shouldn’t sit behind velvet ropes. It should be accessible, participatory, and owned by the community that loves it. Bringing DeLorean $DMC natively to Solana, the top retail-driven chain, is the clearest expression of that belief yet. Putting a legendary brand directly in the hands of millions of users who grew up idolizing it, at the speed and cost that Solana makes possible.

In a rapidly maturing market, being a token is no longer enough. The projects that will define the next era of crypto are the ones that combine cultural weight with serious onchain infrastructure, platforms that can have fun with their IP while building real protocols and creating lasting value for their communities. DeLorean isn’t the first global brand to recognize the power of building on Solana; it joins other big names like Mastercard and Google.

With the native integration, Solana users will be able to buy, hold, stake, and use $DMC across top platforms. They can secure early access to upcoming tokenized DeLorean vehicle drops and participate in DeLorean’s governance framework, a first-of-its-kind model for a globally recognized brand that gives its community a direct role in shaping future development in a decentralized way. This marks a transition toward participation-driven brand ecosystems, where users are empowered to engage as contributors rather than passive customers.

“DeLorean is about momentum, innovation, and pushing boundaries, values that align perfectly with what’s happening on Solana, and in the Solana community right now. We’re not just launching a token; we’re committing to the ecosystem.”

— Evan Kuhn, President, DeLorean Labs

The launch arrives as real-world asset tokenization moves from niche experiment to mainstream conversation. DeLorean Labs is betting that the brands people already love will be what finally brings the next wave of users on-chain. The DeLorean isn’t just nostalgia. It’s a proof of concept: if a cultural icon can be tokenized, governed, and owned by its community, anything can.

DeLorean $DMC is now live on Solana.

About DeLorean Labs

DeLorean Labs is the official Web3 arm of the iconic DeLorean Motor Company (DMC), hyper-focused on innovative technologies and all things digital, a fusion between an iconic past and limitless future. DeLorean continues its tradition of innovation by introducing the world’s first tokenized electric vehicle utilizing the DeLorean Protocol, an industry-first on-chain vehicle reservation, marketplace, and analytics system. At the heart of the DeLorean ecosystem lies $DMC, a token that combines cultural significance, utility, and the backing of an iconic Web2 brand.

OpenGPU Network -Turn Your Computer Into A Revenue-Generating Engine In The AI Era

by admin May 4, 2026

written by admin

As artificial intelligence continues to expand at an unprecedented pace, computing power has become one of the most valuable resources in the digital economy. OpenGPU Network introduces a next-generation platform that allows users to transform their personal computers into active nodes of a global computing network — and earn rewards by contributing GPU power.

OpenGPU Network is a distributed GPU-powered platform that runs directly on your computer. After installing the application, your GPU connects to the network and begins processing real computational workloads, including AI-related tasks and data processing operations. In return, participants receive rewards based on their hardware performance and overall network activity.

One of the platform’s key advantages is its low barrier to entry. Users do not need to build expensive mining farms or invest in additional infrastructure. If you already have a computer with a compatible GPU, you can get started quickly and begin contributing to the network.

The platform is designed as a scalable ecosystem. This means participants can go beyond simply using their own hardware — they can expand their network presence by connecting additional devices or inviting others to join. As the total network power grows, so does the system’s ability to handle larger workloads and generate more value.

Each connected GPU becomes part of a decentralized infrastructure where tasks are automatically distributed across participants. The more computing power contributed, the greater the network’s capacity — and the higher the potential rewards generated through completed workloads.

OpenGPU Network already connects thousands of GPUs worldwide, forming a rapidly growing distributed computing environment. Unlike traditional mining models, the platform is aligned with real-world demand, supporting AI computation, data processing, and other high-performance tasks.

Participants have access to a personal dashboard that provides full transparency, including:

GPU activity
performance statistics
workload processing
reward tracking

This ensures users remain in control and can clearly monitor their contribution and results.

A defining feature of OpenGPU Network is the ability to build and scale your own network. Users can increase their participation by:

adding more devices
aggregating computing power
growing their own structure within the ecosystem

This creates an opportunity to develop a long-term strategy and strengthen your position as the network expands.

OpenGPU Network is currently in a high-growth phase, offering early participants the opportunity to establish themselves within a developing infrastructure. As adoption increases, access to computing power and network positioning is expected to become more competitive.

Industry experts agree that demand for GPU resources will continue to rise, driven by artificial intelligence, big data, and automation. Centralized systems alone cannot meet this demand — making distributed solutions a key part of the future.

OpenGPU Network provides a simple and accessible way to participate in this shift. Your computer is no longer just a device — it becomes a productive asset within a global digital network.

OpenGPU Network — turn your GPU into a revenue-generating resource and be part of the future of distributed computing.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Reach 5.18 Million Tokens, And Total Crypto And Total Cash Holdings Of $13.1 Billion

by admin May 4, 2026

written by admin

Bitmine owns more than 4.29% of the total ETH coin supply of 120.7 million

Bitmine is 86% of the way to the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ in just 10 months

Crypto Spring has commenced and like past cycles, investor sentiment and conviction are muted and bearish even as crypto prices strengthen

Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains

Bitmine uplisted to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from the NYSE American effective as of April 9, 2026

Bitmine has 4,362,757 staked ETH, representing $10.2 billion at $2,336 per ETH

MAVAN (Made in America VAlidator Network) is a premier Ethereum staking destination for BMNR and institutional investors, with a focus on security, performance, and resilience

Bitmine owns $83 million of Eightco (NASDAQ: ORBS), now one of the only publicly listed equities in the world to provide investors indirect exposure to OpenAI

Bitmine Crypto + Total Cash Holdings + “Moonshots” total $13.1 billion, including 5.18 million ETH tokens, total cash of $700 million, and other crypto holdings

Bitmine leads crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock

Bitmine is the 173rd most traded stock in the US, trading $625 million per day (5-day avg)

Bitmine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support Bitmine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

NORWALK, Conn., May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE: BMNR) Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (“Bitmine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network company with a focus on the accumulation of crypto for long term investment, today announced Bitmine crypto + total cash + “moonshots” holdings totaling $13.1 billion.

The Company recently announced its uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) from the NYSE American on April 9, 2026. The Company’s common stock continues to trade under the symbol “BMNR”.

As of May 3, 2026 at 4:30pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 5,180,131 ETH at $2,336 per ETH (Coinbase NASDAQ: COIN), 200 Bitcoin (BTC), $200 million stake in Beast Industries, $83 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and total cash of $700 million. Bitmine’s ETH holdings are 4.29% of the ETH supply (of 120.7 million ETH).

“The U.S. Senate released the CLARITY Act compromise text, and while it bans stablecoin yield on reserves, activity-based ‘rewards’ can be offered, in an attempt to balance the needs to protect existing depository institutions (aka traditional banks). This compromise is largely acceptable to us, and we hope to see this bill passed in 2026,” stated Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of Bitmine. “The prediction markets (polymarket.com) now see >60% chance of passage in 2026, the highest probabilities in more than a month.”

“Crypto Spring, in our view, has commenced and like past cycles, investor sentiment and conviction are muted and bearish even as crypto prices strengthen. We believe the potential passage, or even failure, of the CLARITY Act confirms the arrival of crypto spring. As for the upcoming drivers of crypto gains, Ethereum continues to benefit from the dual tailwinds of Wall Street tokenizing on the blockchain and from agentic AI systems increasingly needing public and neutral blockchains,” said Lee.

“Ethereum remains the most widely used and reliable smart contract blockchains for tokenization and well suited for the upcoming rise of agentic commerce. And increasingly, we believe ETH will be viewed as both a store of value and a unit of exchange. This role for ETH has arguably been demonstrated by its outperformance since the Iran War commenced. ETH has outperformed the S&P 500 by 1,380 basis points since the war started and remains one of the top performing assets in the world (beside crude oil prices),” stated Lee.

“Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past four weeks, as our base case ETH is in the final stages of the ‘mini-crypto winter.’ In the past week, we acquired 101,745 ETH, continuing our aggressive accumulation strategy,” stated Lee.

Bitmine recently launched MAVAN (the Made in American VAlidator Network), the institutional grade staking platform. While MAVAN was originally developed to support Bitmine’s own Ethereum treasury, MAVAN intends to expand to serve institutional investors, custodians, and ecosystem partners seeking best-in-class staking infrastructure. A portion of Bitmine’s ETH is already staked on the MAVAN platform.

As of May 3, 2026, Bitmine total staked ETH stands at 4,362,757 ($10.2 billion at $2,336 per ETH). “Bitmine has staked more ETH than other entities in the world. At scale (when Bitmine’s ETH is fully staked by MAVAN and its staking partners), the projected ETH staking reward is $352 million annually (using 2.91% 7-day BMNR yield),” stated Lee.

“Annualized staking revenues are now $297 million. And this 4.4 million ETH is over 84% of the 5.18 million ETH held by Bitmine. Bitmine’s own staking operations generated a 7-day yield of 2.91% (annualized),” continued Lee.

Bitmine crypto holding reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which reportedly owns 818,334 BTC valued at $64.2 billion. Bitmine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world.

Bitmine is one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $625 million (5-day average, as of May 1, 2026), ranking #173 in the US, behind Cheniere Energy (rank #172) and ahead of DoorDash (rank #174) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).

The GENIUS Act and Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

Rayls Launches Public Mainnet, Advancing Its Mission To Bring Global Finance Onchain

by admin May 1, 2026

written by admin

When Rayls opened its public mainnet on April 30, 2026, it did so with a roster that most blockchain projects spend years assembling. The Layer 1 chain, built by Parfin (core developer of Ralys), went live recently, and was preceded by Tether made a strategic investment in Parfin, the core developer of Rayls. That backing sits alongside Rayls’ inclusion in Mastercard’s Crypto Partner Program, a J.P. Morgan Kinexys deployment and a $1 billion partnership agreement with AmFi – all secured within the 18 months preceding launch.

The institutional momentum behind the chain reflects a broader shift in how large financial organizations are approaching blockchain infrastructure. Rayls offers verifiable sub-second finality and low gas fees on its public chain, alongside full EVM compatibility – a combination that lowers the integration cost for institutions already running Solidity-based systems. The technical baseline appears to have been a decisive factor for each of the major partners.

Tether and Mastercard inclusion signal infrastructure-level commitment

Tether’s strategic investment in Parfin closed in November 2025. This signals the world’s largest stablecoin issuer backing the company building Rayls at the infrastructure level, rather than simply deploying a token on top of it. In March 2026, Mastercard added Rayls to its Crypto Partner Program alongside Polygon, Solana, Ripple and Stellar – a shortlist that places the chain in the company of some of the most liquid and developer-active networks in the market.

AmFi’s $1 billion commitment anchors near-term volume

The AmFi partnership, announced in December 2025, is the deal with the largest direct volume implication. The agreement targets $1 billion in assets under management on the Rayls network by the end of 2027, with $100 million committed by July 2026 and $500 million by January 2027. The milestones represent contracted deployment rather than indicative targets, which gives the figures a different weight when assessing the chain’s near-term transaction volume.

J.P. Morgan’s Kinexys division – the bank’s blockchain and digital-assets infrastructure arm – has deployed on the network and independently assessed its privacy architecture. The Kinexys relationship also brings credibility to the chain’s regulatory positioning: Rayls is designed to operate within MiCA, CVM, BACEN and US financial-market frameworks, and J.P. Morgan’s involvement implies a level of compliance due diligence that most new chains do not receive at launch.

A 200 million-strong distribution network and live FX volume

XP Inc., Brazil’s largest independent investment bank, and Nuclea are issuing stablecoins on Rayls. AmFi brings tokenized real-world asset deployment, while Nimofast adds a pipeline of tangible real-economy assets and cash flows. Animoca Brands rounds out the roster on the digital-assets side. Across the full partner network, the combined end-client reach exceeds 200 million users.

Parfin’s own FX desk is scheduled to migrate approximately $400 million in monthly foreign exchange flows to the Rayls network from Q3 2026. That migration represents production transaction volume rather than a pilot, and the figure gives a concrete floor estimate for the chain’s early throughput under real commercial conditions.

Beyond the corporate partner base, Rayls has engaged with the Central Bank of Brazil, the Bank for International Settlements and the European Commission on digital-asset and stablecoin policy frameworks.

The public mainnet also brings Rayls’ RLS tokenomics live. The burn mechanism is designed to connect network activity with the token’s economic model, giving the chain a clearer link between institutional demand, transaction volume and its native token layer.

With the mainnet live, the focus shifts to delivery against the contracted milestones – $100 million with AmFi by July, the $400 million FX migration from Q3, continued stablecoin issuance from XP and Nuclea, and the expansion of asset activity through Rayls Private Networks. The sub-second finality and low gas fees that attracted the partner roster now face their first test at production scale.

By integrating Sygna into its network, VerifyVASP is advancing the consolidation of a fragmented market into a unified, interoperable compliance network aligned with national regulations, Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards, and global data protection requirements.

At the centre of this strategy is VerifyVASP’s Verified Network, a global compliance infrastructure designed to enable secure, real-time, and standardised data exchange between VASPs. With the addition of Sygna, this network achieves unmatched scale, depth, and geographic reach, further strengthening its network effects and regulatory compliance.

Existing members of Sygna will continue to operate without disruption and will be progressively onboarded onto the Verified Network, tailored to local regulatory requirements. This transition will expand connectivity across key markets and significantly enhance interoperability.

At the same time, VerifyVASP’s existing members will gain access to an expanded set of regulated counterparties, improving efficiency, reducing friction in cross-border transactions, and enabling more seamless compliance workflows.

The Global Standard for Travel Rule Compliance

With this acquisition, VerifyVASP further strengthens its position as the global standard-setter for Travel Rule compliance infrastructure.

Shih Yun Chia, the CEO of VerifyVASP said, “The Sygna acquisition underscores our commitment to setting the global standard for Travel Rule compliance through an expanded, objectives-based network. It comes at a pivotal moment, as the FATF and other relevant international bodies, regulators, and financial intelligence units worldwide drive more effective enforcement.”

Michael Ou, Founder and CEO of Sygna, said, “Sygna was created to help build trusted compliance infrastructure for the virtual asset industry, which is one of the world’s most demanding regulatory environments. We are proud of what the team has built in Japan, and we believe that this combination with VerifyVASP will significantly expand the reach and impact of that work. Together, we are in a stronger position to support VASPs with secure, efficient, and global Travel Rule compliance.”

As regulatory expectations continue to evolve, VerifyVASP remains focused on building a globally connected compliance ecosystem that supports VASPs, financial institutions, and regulators in establishing secure, transparent, and trusted digital asset markets.

World offers a solution to the ‘double human’ problem in a world proliferating with deepfakes and agentic agents

Tinder, Zoom, Docusign, Vercel, Browserbase, and Exa to integrate Proof of Human verification features

Eightco provides indirect exposure to some of the most innovative private companies including OpenAI and Beast Industries

EASTON, Pa., April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“Eightco” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its total holdings, highlighting its expanding position across digital assets and strategic investments in leading private technology companies.

As of April 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET, ORBS’ holdings include a $90 million investment (indirectly, through SPVs) in OpenAI, a $25 million investment in Beast Industries ($18 million funded, plus $7 million commitment), a $1 million investment in Mythical Games, 283,452,700 Worldcoin (WLD) at $0.25 per WLD (per Coinbase), 11,068 Ethereum (ETH), and $121 million in total cash and stablecoins, for total holdings of approximately $333 million.

Key takeaways from ORBS treasury assets in the past week

ORBS management believes the Company’s treasury portfolio holds some of the most critical components for the future AI and digital financial system. Among the holdings, key highlights in the past week are:

OpenAI shipped GPT-5.5 and extended its lead on independent benchmarks
MrBeast, founder of Beast Industries, was named to the 2026 TIME100
Regarding the Worldcoin token (WLD), OpenAI founder, Sam Altman, recently stated on a podcast with Pantera Capital, “World is now on the way to being a real human network for the internet… Our goal is to make World ID be this new proof of human for the internet.”

Highlight: OpenAI ships GPT 5.5

On April 23, 2026, OpenAI released GPT-5.5, a re-architected model purpose-built for agentic execution. GPT-5.5 set state-of-the-art performance on Terminal-Bench 2.0 at 82.7%, the leading benchmark for autonomous task completion across complex command-line workflows (per OpenAI). Within two days of release, NVIDIA deployed GPT-5.5-Codex internally to more than 10,000 employees on its GB200 NVL72 systems, reporting a 35x reduction in cost per million tokens and a 50x improvement in throughput per megawatt versus prior generations (per NVIDIA).

Highlight: Worldcoin to become ‘proof of human’ for the internet

Since the April 17 World Lift Off event, World ID has rapidly activated across major consumer and enterprise platforms. Tinder is rolling out a verified-human badge worldwide. Zoom uses it to flag deepfakes on video calls. Docusign uses it to confirm a real person is signing. Vercel, Browserbase, and Exa use it to verify AI agents operating on the open web.

“World is now on the way to being a real human network for the internet… We’re seeing this now with what you all and others are building, that people are really going to need this, and really going to need to do this in a privacy-preserving way. So World ID is our effort at that, and it’s been amazing to see the progress over the last year as people have adopted this and figured out how to integrate this into a new world of AI. Our goal is to make World ID be this new Proof of Human for the internet,” said Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI and Co-Founder of Tools for Humanity, speaking on a podcast with Cosmo Jiang of Pantera Capital.

Under World’s announced business model, applications pay per-verification fees while end-user verification remains free, with both credential issuers and the World protocol monetizing verified-human authentication. World identifies a $6.35 trillion combined addressable revenue opportunity across 13 industries spanning banking, e-commerce, gaming, social media, and agentic AI (per Tools for Humanity).

EIGHTCO: Exposure to key mega-trends

Eightco is built around three mega-trends the Company expects to shape the next decade of innovation: artificial intelligence, digital identity, and the creator economy, with positions in each trend through indirect investment in OpenAI (27% of ORBS’ treasury holdings), Worldcoin (21%), and Beast Industries (8%).

Artificial Intelligence — OpenAI

Eightco has invested approximately $90 million in special purpose vehicles with exposure to equity interests in the parent company of OpenAI, representing approximately 27% of treasury assets, one of the highest disclosed concentrations of any listed vehicle.

ChatGPT, OpenAI’s consumer app, has officially claimed the #1 spot for application downloads in the consumer AI category, overtaking TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook in monthly worldwide downloads in early 2026 (per Sensor Tower), making it the fastest-scaling consumer app of the year to date.

Digital Identity — WLD Token

Eightco holds over 283 million WLD, approximately 8.58% of circulating supply, the largest publicly disclosed institutional position globally and approximately 21% of the Eightco treasury’s assets.

Worldcoin is the native token of World, a global Proof of Human network built by Tools for Humanity (co-founded by Sam Altman and Alex Blania) and stewarded by the World Foundation. Its Orb devices issue a privacy-preserving World ID that verifies a user is a unique human, not an AI agent.

Creator Economy — Beast Industries

Eightco has invested $18 million in Beast Industries equity with an additional $7 million future commitment, or $25 million total; in aggregate, approximately 8% of treasury assets.

Beast Industries operates one of the largest direct-to-consumer reach footprints in the world, with a combined 500 million-plus follower base across platforms, anchored by MrBeast as the most-watched person on YouTube globally. As AI commoditizes content production, distribution and audience trust become increasingly scarce assets.

About Eightco Holdings Inc.

Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ORBS) is a publicly traded holding company executing a first-of-its-kind Worldcoin (WLD) treasury strategy, providing investors single-ticker indirect exposure to three of the defining trends of this cycle: artificial intelligence through its indirect investment in OpenAI, digital identity through its position as the largest public holder of WLD and the Proof of Human protocol, and the creator economy through its equity stake in MrBeast’s Beast Industries. Backed by leading institutional investors including Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE: BMNR), MOZAYYX, World Foundation, CoinFund, Discovery Capital Management, FalconX, Payward/Kraken, Pantera, and GSR, Eightco is building the infrastructure layer for human verification in the agentic AI era.

BitMart X $EAT Trade-to-Feed Competition To Pay Out $4.4M USDT To Traders In May 2026

by admin April 28, 2026

written by admin

New York, United States, April 28th, 2026, Chainwire

30-day Trade-to-Feed competition marks BitMart’s 8th anniversary and the exchange’s strategic listing of $EAT, the first cause coin.

BitMart, the global digital asset exchange serving millions of users worldwide, today launched the Trade-to-Feed competition, a 30-day trading competition paying out up to $4.4 million USDT in trader rewards. The campaign marks BitMart’s eighth anniversary and the exchange’s listing of $EAT (WYDE: End Hunger), the first cause coin to list on a major centralized exchange.

Cause coins are an emerging asset class engineered so that fees from trading activity flow to charitable grant-making infrastructure alongside trader rewards. By making $EAT the inaugural cause coin listing and pairing it with the largest competition in BitMart’s history, the exchange is positioning itself ahead of a category where market activity produces measurable real-world outcomes.

Running April 28 through May 28, 2026, the Trade-to-Feed competition distributes up to $4.4 million USDT across three concurrent tracks:

Three concurrent competitions, 76,391 chances to win.

The campaign runs three reward tracks simultaneously, all funded from a single pool that grows with volume:

Volume Leaderboard: Up to 73 traders share the leaderboard pool by rank, with the first-place trader winning up to $2.2 million USDT (50% of the total prize pool).
Power Drop: 75,500 tickets distribute across the campaign, each worth a flat $10 USDT. Any trader completing $40 or more in $EAT spot volume qualifies; tickets allocate proportionally to volume.
Lucky Drops: Up to 15 random USDT jackpots from $5,000 to $100,000, drawn weekly and at close, with a cumulative pool of $435K at the $200M cap. Any trader completing $2,000 or more in $EAT spot volume qualifies.

In addition, a Welcome Lucky Draw with a $5,000 USDT pool opens to any new participant who registers and completes a $5 USDT spot trade in $EAT, with 803 winners selected across three tiers.

To join or learn More: Trade to Feed (Up to 4.4M in rewards)

Where the meals go

Charitable distributions from the campaign flow through WYDE Association’s two-pool allocation model. Fifty percent of cause fees fund WYDE’s exclusive national hunger-relief grant partner, Feed the Children, a global movement working to end childhood hunger since 1979 that distributes food, essentials, and disaster relief across the United States and ten countries. The remaining fifty percent is allocated by $EAT token holders through community voting on the Hunger Network, a public directory of verified hunger-relief organizations available at www.eat.ong. Token holders direct funding to local food banks and partner organizations in their own communities each voting round, giving $EAT its core utility — holder governance over real charitable allocation, recorded on-chain and publicly verifiable.

“BitMart’s eighth year is the right moment to put real weight behind a direction we believe in,” said Chad Liang, EVP of BitMart. “Cause coins connect market activity to outcomes the world can see and measure. Listing $EAT and committing the largest competition in our history to it is how we mark this anniversary: by helping define what comes next, not just trading what already exists.”

“BitMart didn’t just list $EAT. They named a category,” said Aaron Rafferty, Co-Founder of WYDE.” A global exchange recognizing cause coins as a strategic priority is a structural moment. Every dollar of organic volume in the Trade-to-Feed competition also funds meals. That is the proof point.”
