The scan-to-pay event will be held in two phases: May 28 to June 30 and July 1 to July 31. For each scan-to-pay transaction, users can share in a 100,000 USD equivalent XLM pool. Additionally, the event features a "Crypto Survival Plan" open to KOLs who can share real-life everyday payment stories.This campaign builds on Bitget Wallet’s previous integration with Stellar, aiming to further deepen collaboration in the PayFi space and bring on-chain assets into daily consumer spending and payment scenarios for users.
crypto KOL Kuai.dong posted on X platform, stating that Bitget is abandoning its existing stock token model and switching to an in-house US stock product with direct broker connections. The product will still be presented in the form of US stock tokens, but will offer an experience and liquidity closer to actual US stocks, and will enable stablecoin-based trading, as well as support for stock dividends and cash dividends. Since the end of last year, Bitget has been selectively recruiting employees from internet brokerages, mainly in operations and VIP client relationship management.
On-chain sleuth ZachXBT posted on his personal channel that chain tracking analysis shows at least approximately $25 million in presale funds from two investment schemes related to Gurhan Kiziloz show signs of commingling. These funds were transferred to pay for promotions by KOLs and streamers, linked to his online gambling platform. ZachXBT stated that the fundraising materials for the related presale projects, BlockDAG Network and ZKP, did not disclose that the funds would be used to support other businesses. However, on-chain data reveals that after the funds were pooled across multiple addresses, they were transferred via cross-chain bridges to exchanges and then to promotional payment addresses.ZachXBT also named several related addresses, including the Spartans KOL payment address and the BlockDAG / ZKP presale wallets, and advised investors to stay away from the BlockDAG, ZKP, and Spartans projects. Currently, some retail investors are continuously complaining on social media about the use of these funds.
Odaily News ZachXBT stated that choosing to gamble on Spartans itself is an IQ test, questioning that the operators behind Spartans have long-term plans to harvest retail investors. ZachXBT pointed out that Gurhan Kiziloz, a figure associated with Spartans, previously operated BlockDAG Network, which failed to launch its mainnet or miner products for years yet still promoted its presale with claims of 300x returns, raising at least $350 million from inexperienced retail investors. ZachXBT further indicated that BlockDAG has recently shifted its focus to casino operations and suspects that the related casino platform may be used to legitimize BlockDAG's capital sources, including circulating funds by paying high fees to employees and KOLs. Previously, multiple community members and content creators also publicly questioned Spartans' marketing model and operational transparency, warning users of potential rug pull risks.
According to the official announcement, HTX (formerly Huobi) officially launched its 2026 Global Creator Recruitment Campaign on May 14, inviting external KOLs, community managers, live-stream hosts, and trading experts to join the HTX Creator Ecosystem. Participants will enjoy exclusive benefits including a permanent 60% referral commission, 100% reimbursement of live-stream tips, and monthly content mining contests. The first 200 creators who successfully onboard will receive an additional double-traffic boost.
Bitget Wallet has upgraded its KOL Signal Leaderboard, continuously integrating AI and on-chain daily financial capabilities to lower the barrier for users to discover investment opportunities. This upgrade adds a new “Riding-Along Count” metric alongside the existing signal frequency metric. Users can now view both the number of signals per cryptocurrency issued by KOLs and the on-chain “riding-along” count—quantifying real capital follow-through behind each signal—and also examine the distribution of signal timestamps and corresponding buy timestamps to assess whether momentum is still building. Meanwhile, Bitget Wallet has increased its data collection frequency to the second level, enabling real-time conversion of KOL tweets into trading signals. Leveraging large language models, the system intelligently filters these signals, automatically discarding casual chatter and promotional content while extracting only genuine bullish signals—reducing information noise. Currently, this feature covers over 8,000 core KOLs across multiple regions—including China, the U.S., and Japan—as well as more than 5,000 on-chain KOL addresses. Since launch, average daily usage per user has reached 12.28 times per month.
On X, on-chain analytics platform Bubblemaps stated that the token MYSTERY may have exhibited highly centralized control during its initial launch phase, describing it as a “textbook scam.” Bubblemaps disclosed data showing that approximately 90 newly created wallets seized roughly 90% of the token’s supply at launch and have since continuously dumped their holdings—generating over $100,000 in proceeds so far, while still retaining about 40% of the total supply. Additionally, the token’s launch featured clear “bundled distribution” and centralized control characteristics, and some KOLs promoting MYSTERY were reportedly paid to do so.
According to crypto KOL AB Kuai.Dong, cryptocurrency exchange Binance recently launched its Binance Debit Card registration page and opened pre-registration applications, with the deadline set for April 30. After registration, the page indicates users will be notified separately once the card becomes available in their region. As described, users can use assets such as USDC, USDT, FDUSD, and BNB held in their Binance Earn accounts for everyday card payments, earning up to 3% cashback—without affecting their Earn returns.
At the current price, if this address did not sell upon transferring into Aster, the holding return is approximately 462%, with an unrealized profit of about $86,000.
