The crypto sector is experiencing heightened activity as COMMON, a protocol focused on blockchain-based community infrastructure, gets ready to debut on Bitget with an airdrop of 27.77 million tokens. This initiative, revealed by both Bitget and the Common team, highlights the growing use of token rewards to encourage engagement within decentralized networks. At the same time, ongoing debates about airdrops and regulatory shifts illustrate how quickly the industry is changing.
Created to support programmable on-chain communities via automated action markets, the Common protocol has joined forces with Bitget to roll out its native token. This airdrop, among the most significant in recent times, is intended to boost involvement in governance, workflow processes, and community-led projects.

This launch happens alongside Morph’s transformation into a global settlement layer for stablecoins, a move that could provide the backbone for large-scale token airdrops.

Yet, not every airdrop receives a warm welcome from regulators or the public. Meteora, a blockchain platform, distributed $4.2 million worth of tokens to wallets associated with Donald Trump’s crypto projects just hours after its co-founder was hit with a $57 million class-action lawsuit over alleged pump-and-dump activities,
Amid these developments, SuperEx has revealed that COMMON/USDT trading pairs will be available starting October 27. This announcement comes after a year of rapid stablecoin growth, with DeFiLlama noting a 50% rise in stablecoin supply to $310 billion by 2025. Forecasts indicate that stablecoin value could soar to $4 trillion by 2030, highlighting the pressing need for scalable solutions like those offered by Morph.
