XYZVerse listed its $XYZ coin on MEXC on January 29, 2026, after a 15-month crypto presale that raised nearly $17 million from retail investors. The token began trading at around $0.025, surged within the first minute to $0.2401, and later stabilized between $0.04 and $0.06 while most presale participants were unable to sell due to vesting restrictions. During the Token Generation Event, the official XYZVerse website went offline, preventing users from checking balances and claiming their initial allocations. Several hours later, the team announced a domain migration to a new “.ai” website. This was not the first such incident, as the project website had previously gone offline for 17 hours during the presale period in July 2025. At the same time, investors began reporting that their tokens were locked under vesting terms that many said were not expected when they joined the presale. The team opened a Telegram poll asking whether to keep or remove vesting. Later that day, XYZVerse announced a full unlock of all tokens. When the unlock went live at 17:30 UTC on January 30, heavy sell pressure followed almost immediately. The price dropped from around $0.04 to $0.0022 within minutes and later traded near $0.0015, marking an 88% decline from the final presale price and a 99% drop from the intraday high reached during listing. XYZVerse presents itself as an all-sports memecoin ecosystem combining esports, fan participation, and blockchain mechanics. The project previously launched an on-chain Counter-Strike 2 league and plans NFT marketplace features, staking, and prediction markets during 2026.

The LiquidChain presale is raising funds for the LIQUID token, positioning LiquidChain ($LIQUID) as a Layer-3 protocol designed to unify liquidity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. In our LiquidChain presale review, we analyzed the whitepaper and the separate technical litepaper. The whitepaper remains largely conceptual and does not explain what is already built, what is proprietary, or how the raised funds will be used to reach the proposed architecture. The litepaper uses dense technical terminology, including references to a Solana VM execution layer, cross-domain proofs, and integrations with Wormhole, Axelar, and LayerZero, but it still does not resolve the practical execution gaps left open in the whitepaper. We also reviewed LiquidChain tokenomics, the LIQUID token distribution, and the lack of clear presale allocation limits or transparent vesting schedules. Combined with the project’s anonymous team structure and the use of Zestura LLC (BVI) as the listed entity, the presale structure raises accountability concerns. On security, the LiquidChain audit coverage by CertiK and SpyWolf found no critical issues in the token and presale contract, but those audits do not validate the Layer-3 platform claims. Finally, we examined the project’s FDV and valuation assumptions, alongside an aggressive marketing push that includes extremely high staking APY messaging and widespread promotional coverage across media outlets connected to the Clickout Media network.

A former BlockDAG ($BDAG) employee has publicly discussed internal issues during a January 2026 YouTube livestream with Reid Davis on the BlockDAG Investors channel. Liza Van Den Berg, who previously worked inside the company, described how the project was run internally based on her direct experience. Her statements addressed presale handling, unpaid or delayed salaries, access to company funds, funds funneling through gambling businesses, and internal decision-making. She also described development timelines and milestones being announced by the marketing team without engineering approval and a live AMA in which the CTO was placed under public pressure regarding a February launch date. At the time of the discussion, BlockDAG publicly claimed to have raised more than $440 million through its presale, a figure displayed across its website and marketing materials.

PepeNode launched its $PEPENODE token on Uniswap on January 8, 2026, following the conclusion of its presale that began in August 2025 and raised $2.7 million. Within minutes of trading, the token dropped by more than 90% from its listing price. The initial Uniswap price implied a fully diluted valuation of roughly $255 million. At current prices, the FDV stands closer to $22.5 million. We published a detailed breakdown covering the token launch, early price movement, liquidity details, and on-chain activity.
A newly published investor meeting summary raises transparency questions after BlockDAG leadership ($BDAG), led by Gurhan Kiziloz, said $32M in post-launch liquidity, below previously stated levels.
Remittix ($RTX) Confirms February 9, 2026 Platform Launch as Part of PayFi Roadmap Remittix has confirmed that public access to its platform is scheduled for February 9, 2026, according to updates shared via the project’s official X and Telegram channels and press releases distributed on January 3, 2026. The February release is described as the project’s first platform launch, expanding beyond its existing iOS crypto wallet. According to Remittix, the launch will provide access to the core platform layer, which is designed to connect wallet usage to future crypto payment and transfer services. The project has not fully specified which features will be available at launch and which will be integrated later. Crypto-to-fiat functionality and direct bank payouts are referenced as subsequent integrations, with no confirmed release date. Remittix has also indicated that additional wallet features and ecosystem services are planned as part of the broader rollout. An Android version of the Remittix wallet is listed as in development, with Google Play referenced as the next distribution channel, though no launch timeline has been announced. Remittix remains in the RTX token presale stage and has linked future centralized exchange (CEX) announcements to funding milestones, including a planned exchange reveal once the presale reaches $30 million.

BlockDAG Network ($BDAG) held a public AMA on December 29, 2025, during which the team provided a detailed update on leadership, governance, and project readiness. During the session, BlockDAG introduced Nic van den Bergh as Chief Executive Officer and reaffirmed Jeremy Harkness as Chief Technology Officer. Founder Gurhan Kiziloz appeared publicly and addressed his role in originating the project, his early funding contributions, and his decision to step back from day-to-day operations while remaining involved in an oversight capacity. The AMA also included technical updates on the BlockDAG blockchain. Harkness stated that the core network is operational in a development environment, with internal ASIC mining tests already running. He confirmed that staking functionality and third-party audits remain pending and that the launch timeline is contingent on their completion. In addition, the team discussed mining hardware distribution, including outstanding X10 and X100 ASIC units, and acknowledged that the network is expected to launch in a partially centralized configuration. According to statements made during the AMA, initial mining will take place on a closed network until mining hardware is delivered, after which mining access is intended to be opened more broadly. Finally, Kiziloz outlined plans to establish an oversight committee and invited two community members, Reed and Muhammad, to participate. No formal governance structure or decision-making authority for the committee was announced during the session.

Crypto presales are not dying. They are already dead. We analyzed older crypto presales that reportedly raised over $1M or have been live for at least 24 months. We reviewed how these projects performed following their exchange listings and calculated the current average ROI for presale investors using publicly available market prices. Across the dataset, the average ROI for presale investors is profoundly negative. The full dataset is available on TheHolyCoins, in the crypto presales ROI performance tracker.
Two YouTubers say the BlockDAG Network crypto project filed false copyright strikes against their videos, resulting in several YouTube removals. One of the takedowns targeted a video that named alleged co-founder Gurhan Kiziloz and referenced public claims covered by media outlets, including concerns about BlockDAG’s long-running crypto presale, leadership structure, and unanswered questions about the project’s fundraising activity. Both creators report that the complaints were submitted from emails linked to the BlockDAG Network domain and that YouTube removed the affected videos after receiving the copyright claims. One creator said that multiple videos covering BlockDAG were struck at once, while the other said that only the video naming Kiziloz was taken down.

$BEST Token Launch: 80% Price Drop After Listing on 4 Exchanges On 28 November 2025, Best Wallet launched its $BEST token on four exchanges: MEXC, KCEX, KuCoin, and Uniswap. The project had raised over $18 million during a year-long presale through its in-app token sale system.

The crypto project operates with an anonymous team and promotes other anonymous crypto presales via its wallet app. At the end of the presale, the token’s fully diluted valuation (FDV) stood at $261 million. After the launch correction, the FDV is now closer to $50 million.

Remittix iOS Wallet Launches with Crypto Transfer Features – Fiat Payouts Scheduled Soon The Remittix ($RTX) wallet app is now live on the Apple App Store. This initial iOS release supports crypto transfers across multiple blockchains, displays balances in fiat, and includes basic wallet features. The Remittix wallet does not yet support crypto-to-fiat payouts. That functionality is expected in December 2025, allowing users to send crypto and have it delivered as local currency to bank accounts in supported regions. The Android version is still in development.

Mutuum Finance Announces Halborn Audit as MUTM Presale Nears $19M Mutuum Finance confirmed that Halborn has begun auditing its lending and borrowing smart contracts. This is an important milestone for the project, as the MUTM token presale approaches $19M in raised capital. The audit begins just ahead of Mutuum’s upcoming Sepolia testnet, which will include lending, borrowing, staking, and liquidation features. Halborn also reposted the announcement, publicly acknowledging the audit. While the audit supports Mutuum Finance’s technical development, investors should still review tokenomics, FDV, liquidity, and team transparency.

BlockDAG Claims Former Ethereum and Cardano Leadership Will Join Project Ahead of Binance Live AMA BlockDAG has announced that two former leaders, one from Ethereum and one from Cardano, will join the project’s management, with identities set to be revealed in a Binance Live AMA. The November 18 announcement did not provide names or verification but pledged more details during the upcoming broadcast. In the same update, BlockDAG said its X-Series mining devices will be delivered within 90 days, before the Token Generation Event (TGE). BlockDAG’s $BDAG crypto presale has surpassed $435 million, according to the team, spanning over 30 pricing rounds. The token launch date and exchange listings remain unconfirmed. This follows a previously claimed partnership with Borussia Dortmund, which was later proven to be unsubstantiated. In October 2025, on-chain analyst ZachXBT linked the project to Gurhan Kiziloz, founder of Lanistar and several failed meme coins. BlockDAG is a Layer-1 protocol using a Proof-of-Work and DAG model, with smart contract support and mining hardware integration. Its presale structure has raised concerns due to pricing disparities between early and late investors, promotional codes, and shifting timelines.

📉 Cointelegraph’s Google Traffic Drop and iGaming Section Removal Cointelegraph has seen its Google visibility decline since early October, but the timing doesn’t match the Spam Update that ended weeks earlier. Data from Ahrefs and SEMrush show a sharp decline in organic traffic around October 6, long after Google’s August–September Spam Update finished. While some reports blamed the update, this timing points to other causes. According to Ahrefs, Cointelegraph’s organic traffic fell from millions of visits to nearly zero, while SEMrush data showed a milder but still significant decline across desktop and mobile. These trends suggest a manual penalty or search quality action rather than an algorithmic hit. Manual actions from Google are rare but can instantly demote site sections that violate quality guidelines. Following the visibility collapse, Cointelegraph removed its iGaming section, which featured content related to gambling, including casino reviews and betting guides. Wayback Machine archives show the pages were still live through October 12, 2025, meaning the removal came after the decline began. The timing suggests this was a response to the penalty, not the cause. This case fits a wider trend affecting crypto media under Google’s stricter E-E-A-T and YMYL standards, emphasizing expertise, transparency, and trust. Content tied to gambling, memecoins, and affiliate promotions now faces higher ranking risks. BeInCrypto CEO Alena Afanaseva noted that algorithm changes can erase years of growth, pushing publishers to rethink their models. For crypto outlets, the Cointelegraph case shows how quickly authority can vanish when content expands into high-risk areas. As Google keeps tightening its quality policies, credibility, transparency, and focus on core expertise remain the only sustainable path for long-term visibility in search.

BlockchainFX Secures Offshore Regulatory License from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority as $BFX Presale Continues BlockchainFX, the project behind the $BFX token presale, has obtained an International Brokerage and Clearing House license from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA), marking its first official regulatory milestone. According to public records, the license was issued to BlockFX International Ltd under number L16172/BFX, confirming its registration on October 10, 2025, and validity until October 10, 2026. This one-year authorization enables the project to conduct offshore financial operations, including trading and brokerage activities, under Anjouan’s financial regulatory framework. While the AOFA license provides a degree of legitimacy, it remains an offshore authorization that does not meet MiCA compliance or major regional regulations such as those enforced by the SEC in the United States or ESMA in the European Union. Projects operating under such frameworks often utilize offshore jurisdictions as an initial step toward broader recognition; however, they are not approved to offer services to consumers in regulated markets. The BlockchainFX presale, launched in March 2025, has raised over $10 million to date. The project presents itself as a multi-asset trading platform combining cryptocurrency, stocks, forex, and commodities, supported by its $BFX utility token, which offers staking rewards, daily USDT payouts, and a planned Visa card. However, its 12-page whitepaper lacks technical depth, and the team remains largely anonymous, with limited verifiable details on development and auditing.

Lern360's LERN Token Launches on Coinstore Exchange After Multiple IDOs Lern360, the crypto project integrating blockchain and online education, has officially launched its LERN token on October 20, 2025, on Coinstore Exchange, following several IDO events on launchpads including Spores Network, Kommunitas, and KingdomStarter. The token opened at $0.20, matching its IDO price, and briefly surged to $1.80 (9x) before correcting to around $0.13. Daily trading volumes remained relatively low, reflecting the project’s limited 0.5% circulating supply at launch. The updated tokenomics include a structured vesting schedule to reduce supply pressure: team tokens are locked with a 12-month cliff and vest over 3 years, while seed tokens begin unlocking in early 2026. Built on Binance Smart Chain, Lern360 introduces a learn-to-earn model that rewards students and educators for completing courses and creating content. The platform also uses AI-driven personalization to make blockchain-based learning accessible in over 15 languages.

Later that day, the CRM price recovered to $0.0002714 after he clarified that his condition does not affect his ability to continue developing the project or managing the roadmap. Crypto Rug Muncher emphasized transparency with his community and confirmed that the project development remains on track, with only a short delay to the upcoming AMA. He also addressed community questions about decentralization, noting that the project’s long-term vision includes transitioning into a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
