Celestia announces airdrop of 20,000,000 $TIA tokens

Celestia is making waves on crypto Twitter with its Genesis Drop, an airdrop campaign aiming to distribute 6% of its native TIA tokens. The campaign, which runs from September 26 to October 17, targets a wide audience. If you're a user of Ethereum rollups like Optimism, Arbitrum, or StarkNet, or networks like Cosmos and zkSync, you might be among the 584,232 on-chain addresses eligible for the airdrop. Of the 60 million TIA tokens up for grabs, 20 million are earmarked solely for Ethereum Rollup users.

The airdrop process is streamlined for ease. To claim your TIA tokens, you'll need a Kelpr wallet. After visiting Celestia's claim page and signing a MetaMask transaction, you can connect your Kelpr wallet. Once these steps are completed, your claim will automatically be included in the Genesis block when the mainnet goes live, and the TIA tokens will appear in your wallet.

It's worth noting that Celestia isn't just another startup; it's the leading data availability project that has already raised $56 million, according to Crunchbase. The minimum airdrop allocation for Ethereum Rollup users stands at 50.20 TIA for the top half of users, sparking widespread speculation about the potential value of TIA tokens. While US-based individuals are prohibited from participating and using tools to circumvent these restrictions could result in disqualification, the buzz surrounding Celestia's airdrop is palpable.

Taiwan releases guidelines for crypto exchanges

Today, Taiwan's financial regulator unveiled a series of directives for providers of virtual asset services (VASPs) that prioritize the safeguarding of customers. According to the Financial Supervisory Commission, domestic cryptocurrency platforms are now required to implement measures such as the segregation and safekeeping of assets belonging to both companies and customers, as well as establishing criteria for evaluating the listing and delisting of virtual assets. Additionally, the guidelines emphasize the need for enhanced transparency through improved information disclosure.

Ether flashes bullish 'DeMark' signal

Ether's (ETH) immediate outlook appears optimistic as a technical analysis tool, renowned for indicating market turning points, is showing a bullish sign. Katie Stockton, the founder of Fairlead Strategies, informed clients on Monday that the TD (Tom Demark) Sequential indicator from DeMARK Analytics has issued a counter-trend buy signal. 

This signal could potentially result in ether defending the weekly Ichimoku cloud support at $1,580, despite other studies suggesting a potential decline in price. Stockton mentioned in a client note that the daily TD Sequential indicator's counter-trend buy signal implies that support at $1,580 will likely hold, given the previous success of similar signals.
