A wave of digital asset supply is set to enter the market, potentially testing buyer appetite across the crypto landscape.

According to the Tokenomist website, major projects will unlock more than $513 million in tokens between September 8 and 15.

Key Unlocks and Market Backdrop

Solana (SOL) will release 502,930 SOL worth almost $104 million. It’s only 0.09% of the supply, but it comes at a time when the asset is trying to stay near $210 after rising more than 15% since early August.

The recently approved Alpenglow upgrade, which cuts transaction finality from 12.8 seconds to less than 200 milliseconds, has also gotten developers interested and made people feel more positive about the SOL market.

Traders should also keep an eye on Aptos, which is set to deploy 11.31 million of its native APT token, worth just over $48 million. The #51-ranked cryptocurrency has been slowly rising, adding 3.1% to its value in the past week to reach $4.33. However, it is still down almost 10% in the past month.

Connex (CONX), on the other hand, has to unlock $38.76 million in the middle of recent market problems. In the past week, the token lost almost 5% of its value, while in the last month, it dipped by more than 30%.

At the same time, Starknet will also distribute 127 million of its STRK tokens. At the time of this writing, the Layer 2 validity rollup had a market cap of about $513 million and was down 3.4% over the week. It is also 97% below its all-time high achieved in 2024.

While some market watchers think that these weaker performers may be especially sensitive to sudden supply increases, Story Protocol’s IP token has gone against the trend. It went up more than 10% in the last week, reaching a new all-time high of $8.88 a few hours ago, just in time for the injection of 2.32 million tokens worth more than $20 million into the market.

Dogecoin and Official Trump

Unlock dynamics often connect with bigger stories in the crypto world. For example, Dogecoin (DOGE) is about to release $21.82 million worth of tokens over the next several days, with the prospect of a new investment product tied to the OG meme coin drawing ever nearer.

Eric Balchunas, an analyst at Bloomberg, says that ETF issuer REX Shares will launch the first DOGE exchange-traded fund as soon as next week. The asset has also risen by more than 8% in the last month, thanks in part to an announcement by Nebraska-based CleanCore of a $175 million private placement to build a DOGE treasury.

The Official Trump (TRUMP) token is also scheduled to drop coins worth $41.37 million over the next seven days. This latest allocation coincides with a recent report in the Wall Street Journal, which said that the Trump family’s investments in World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and TRUMP now make up the biggest part of their paper net worth after briefly reaching $6 billion.

Hackers Attack Android Users’ Bank Accounts As Rapidly Improving Malware Steals PIN Codes and Login Credentials, Unlocks Patterns and Records Screens: Cybersecurity Researchers https://earlybirdsinvest.com/hackers-attack-android-users-bank-accounts-as-rapidly-improving-malware-steals-pin-codes-and-login-credentials-unlocks-patterns-and-records-screens-cybersecurity-researchers/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/hackers-attack-android-users-bank-accounts-as-rapidly-improving-malware-steals-pin-codes-and-login-credentials-unlocks-patterns-and-records-screens-cybersecurity-researchers/#respond Sat, 02 Aug 2025 08:37:13 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/hackers-attack-android-users-bank-accounts-as-rapidly-improving-malware-steals-pin-codes-and-login-credentials-unlocks-patterns-and-records-screens-cybersecurity-researchers/

A rapidly evolving bank malware now has far greater capabilities to infect Android devices and steal personal information, according to researchers.

The cybersecurity firm Zimperium says the so-called DoubleTrouble trojan “has rapidly evolved in both its distribution methods and capabilities,” and is now permeating channels on the social platform Discord.

“In its latest evolution, the malware has integrated several new and advanced features, significantly expanding its capabilities beyond earlier iterations. These enhancements enable more effective data theft, device manipulation, and evasion techniques.

The new functionalities include: displaying malicious UI overlays to steal PIN codes or unlock patterns, comprehensive screen recording capabilities, the ability to block the opening of specific applications, and advanced keylogging functionality.”

Researchers say the malware convinces users to download it by masking itself as an extension or an add-on, and it uses the Google Play icon to appear trustworthy.

It also manipulates device functionality by exploiting Android’s Accessibility Services, allowing it to block legitimate banking or security apps with misleading “system maintenance” prompts.

In addition, the malicious software simulates user actions like taps and swipes, allowing attackers to remotely control infected devices and steal data, including passwords and banking details, with alarming precision.

The trojan’s attacks are ongoing, primarily targeting users in Europe through phishing websites and Discord-hosted APKs. Specific victim counts remain unknown at time of publishing.

Falcon Finance Unlocks Real-World Asset Utility with First Live USDf Mint Using Tokenized Treasuries https://earlybirdsinvest.com/falcon-finance-unlocks-real-world-asset-utility-with-first-live-usdf-mint-using-tokenized-treasuries/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/falcon-finance-unlocks-real-world-asset-utility-with-first-live-usdf-mint-using-tokenized-treasuries/#respond Thu, 10 Jul 2025 15:56:24 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/falcon-finance-unlocks-real-world-asset-utility-with-first-live-usdf-mint-using-tokenized-treasuries/

July 10th, 2025 – Dubai, UAE


Falcon Finance, a synthetic dollar protocol, has completed its first live mint of USDf using tokenized U.S. Treasuries, marking a major step forward in integrating real-world assets (RWAs) into DeFi with full composability.

The transaction, which used Superstate’s tokenized short-duration Treasury fund (USTB) as collateral, was executed through Falcon’s production infrastructure. This milestone shows how regulated, yield-bearing assets can now directly support onchain liquidity—without the need for siloed systems or custom DeFi infrastructure.

Unlike many RWA initiatives that focus solely on tokenizing assets, Falcon’s architecture is designed for productive utility. Tokenized assets are not just parked in wrappers—they become active collateral, deployed into risk-managed, market-neutral strategies that power the USDf stablecoin.

“Tokenization is just the beginning,” said Artem Tolkachev, RWA Strategy Lead at Falcon Finance. “The real challenge is making those assets usable—so they can earn, hedge, and build within an open, composable system. This first mint shows that institutional-grade assets can move beyond proof-of-concept into functional onchain liquidity.”

Falcon’s approach embeds both institutional asset holders and DeFi capital providers within the same infrastructure. USDf, Falcon’s overcollateralized synthetic dollar, can be minted using either crypto-native or real-world assets, enabling users to unlock liquidity without selling their holdings.

This live mint reflects a broader roadmap for Falcon, which aims to onboard a diverse set of yield-generating real-world assets.

Upcoming collateral types include:

  • Tokenized Treasuries – liquid and low-risk
  • Money market funds – professionally managed with predictable returns
  • Investment-grade corporate credit – introducing moderate credit risk and flexible flows
  • Emerging market sovereign debt – higher yields with macro-level exposure
  • Private credit and revenue-based lending – tied to real-world productivity

Each asset class must meet strict standards for custody, enforceability, and pricing transparency.

By connecting permissioned yield sources with permissionless DeFi strategies, Falcon is building the infrastructure to make real-world assets functionally composable onchain. This architecture is designed to align incentives across institutions, DAOs, protocols, and allocators alike—paving the way for a more robust and scalable financial layer.

About Falcon Finance

Falcon Finance is a synthetic dollar protocol that allows users to mint USDf against both crypto and tokenized real-world assets. It combines delta-neutral yield strategies with institutional-grade standards in risk management, transparency, and capital efficiency. Learn more at https://falcon.finance.

The floki list lists on Webull Pay and unlocks access to 24 million users amid unstable transactions https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-floki-list-lists-on-webull-pay-and-unlocks-access-to-24-million-users-amid-unstable-transactions/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-floki-list-lists-on-webull-pay-and-unlocks-access-to-24-million-users-amid-unstable-transactions/#respond Wed, 09 Jul 2025 19:23:11 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/the-floki-list-lists-on-webull-pay-and-unlocks-access-to-24-million-users-amid-unstable-transactions/

Flock

According to Coindesk Research’s technical analysis model, it has traded in the range of 0.00005422 over the last 24 hours, falling 1.87% since swinging to a minimum of $0.00008913, from $0.00009435 to $0.00008913.

The volatile session of the token was marked at a sharp 4% meeting in the US morning hours, and made positive profits as resistance formed near the $0.00009400 level. Before it steadily declined in US afternoons, trading volumes surged to 95.85 billion tokens at rally height.

Floki’s price action coincided with a significant milestone announced earlier in the project today. The team has revealed that Floki is listed on Webull Pay, a popular US retail crypto trading platform run by Webull, which boasts over 24 million users. According to the team, the list is pushing forward the stated goal of significantly improving liquidity, expanding access to millions of potential new owners, and becoming the most recognized and widely used cryptocurrency in Floki.

Despite the weakness during the day and late decline, Floki was above the low session. While sellers have continued to be dominant at a higher level due to unsuccessful recovery attempts around $0.00009016, the ability of tokens above $0.00008900 may suggest fundamental support near the region as the market digests the meaning of the web list.

Technical Analysis Highlights

  • Floki showed a sharp shift in direction around the main psychological level from $0.00008900 to $0.00009400.
  • Early session profits were quickly unlocked as volumes dried up after 9:00 UTC Rally.
  • Sales pressure was dominated by over $0.00009350 after being repeatedly rejected.
  • The final selloff defeated temporary daytime support for $0.00009000.
  • The amounts during the pullback phase remained elevated and showed distribution.
  • Despite the near shortcomings, the price avoided a deep breakdown of less than $0.00008900.

Bitcoin holder unlocks $10 million from rare Casascius bar bought for $500 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-holder-unlocks-10-million-from-rare-casascius-bar-bought-for-500/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-holder-unlocks-10-million-from-rare-casascius-bar-bought-for-500/#respond Wed, 02 Jul 2025 01:52:10 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/bitcoin-holder-unlocks-10-million-from-rare-casascius-bar-bought-for-500/

A long-time Bitcoin holder has finally cracked open one of the rarest physical Bitcoin collectibles in existence—a Casascius bar loaded with 100 BTC.

The collector, who goes by the name John Galt on the Bitcoin Talk forum, originally bought the bar in 2012 for just $500. 13 years later, he redeemed it when the top crypto crossed the $100,000 mark, unlocking a fortune now worth over $10 million.

In effect, he saw a return of nearly 2,000,000% on his modest 2012 investment.

According to Galt, the decision to redeem wasn’t easy, as he had struggled considerably with the pressure of holding a single object worth millions.

He also highlighted his past struggle to sell the physical coin and his reluctance to settle for less than Bitcoin’s digital value.

He wrote:

“I didn’t want to redeem it, though. To me, a physical Bitcoin that hasn’t been redeemed feels like it’s worth more than just the money. I did try to sell it a few times, but it’s hard selling something that valuable, and you really can’t trust just anyone. I even looked into auctions, but I’d be getting less than what the Bitcoin itself was worth.”

The legacy of Casascius Physical Bitcoins

Casascius physical bitcoins, first minted in 2011 by Mike Caldwell, are among the most iconic collectibles in crypto history.

The bars and coins, embedded with real BTC, came in denominations from 0.1 to 1,000 BTC. Over time, they became coveted artifacts for collectors and early adopters alike.

According to the website:

“Each Casascius Bitcoin is a collectible coin backed by real Bitcoins embedded inside. Each piece has its own Bitcoin address and a redeemable “private key” on the inside, underneath the hologram.”

However, production halted in 2013 after the US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) classified Caldwell’s operation as a money transmission service.

Despite that, the coin’s value has continued to rise in monetary and historical value. Notably, physical coins maintain collector value and often sell on secondary markets like eBay for as much as $20,000.

To date, more than 10,000 Casascius coins have been redeemed, with over 18,000 still active or unclaimed, according to casasciustracker.com.

Layer-2 network, no longer have to depend on a central system to process their transactions.

This update, shared in an April 28 post on X, allows users to send and complete transactions on Ethereum even if the main operator goes offline or blocks them.

The change comes after Scroll introduced an upgrade called Euclid, which was approved by community vote in April.

With this new setup, the network moves into what is known as “Stage 1” of decentralization. This stage means that smart contracts control most operations, but a backup team still exists to help in emergencies.

Scroll also introduced a solution for handling larger or more complex transactions. These actions require special cryptographic proofs to be verified. If a proof is too large, it can slow down the process or fail.

Scroll worked with a project called Axiom to build a tool named OpenVM. This tool breaks large tasks into smaller parts that can be verified more easily. Rather than failing, these bigger tasks may just take a bit more time to complete.

Furthermore, any change to the network must first go through a vote. After that, there is a three-day delay before the update takes effect. This gives users the chance to leave the network if they do not agree with the new rules.

Recently, Tomasz Stańczak, a co-executive director at the Ethereum Foundation, shared the organization’s plans to improve the Ethereum network’s user experience and Layer 1 scalability. How? Read the full story.

Trump Token's 85% Weekly Surge Defies Democrats' Call for Impeachment, Massive Unlocks https://earlybirdsinvest.com/trump-tokens-85-weekly-surge-defies-democrats-call-for-impeachment-massive-unlocks/ https://earlybirdsinvest.com/trump-tokens-85-weekly-surge-defies-democrats-call-for-impeachment-massive-unlocks/#respond Sun, 27 Apr 2025 00:05:05 +0000 https://earlybirdsinvest.com/trump-tokens-85-weekly-surge-defies-democrats-call-for-impeachment-massive-unlocks/

TRUMP, the memecoin tied to U.S. President Donald Trump, is up about 16% in the last 24 hours, even as Democratic lawmakers cite the president’s involvement with the token as potential grounds for impeachment and after a massive unlock earlier in the month.

At a town hall on Friday, Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) pointed to the crypto project offering its top holders an invitation to a dinner event with President Trump, calling it a clear case of selling access to the presidency, NBC News reports.

“When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense,” Ossify said.

U.S. Senators Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) also sent a letter on April 25 to the U.S. Office of Government Ethics asking for an investigation to determine if President Trump violated federal ethics rules by inviting top investors.

The allegations stem from an announcement that a private dinner will be held on May 22, where the top 220 TRUMP memecoin holders can meet with the U.S. President.

Still, the TRUMP token has kept on rising. The memecoin surged over 70% after the event was announced and has already been up 85% over the last seven days.

The rise came even after the token saw a massive $320 million unlock earlier this month, significantly inflating its circulating supply. In less than three months, TRUMP token is set to endure an additional unlock of 25.1% of its current circulating supply, at the time of writing, worth nearly $780 million.

Despite the recent rise, the token is still down more than 77% from its all-time high above $70, which it saw shortly after launch. Its subsequent price plunge led to an estimated $2 billion of investor losses.
