RedStone Airdrop Controversy
On the evening of March 6, Binance officially announced that due to the temporary change in the community airdrop distribution plan by the RedStone (RED) project team, Binance has suspended the originally scheduled RedStone trading listing plan starting at 9:00 PM on March 6, 2025, and the resumption time is to be determined. This is the first time Binance has announced the suspension of the listing of a project after the announcement.
RedStone subsequently announced an immediate change to the RED airdrop selection process and distribution. In the first Miner airdrop, it allocated 5% of the total RED supply, and now it will allocate an additional 2% of the total RED supply from the "ecosystem and data providers" to recognize the contributions of community members who were overlooked in the initial airdrop distribution.

The Winners of Trump's "Crypto Reserve"
On March 2, a tweet by US President "Trump" on the Truth Social platform plunged the crypto market into a frenzy: "The US Crypto Currency Reserve will boost this critical industry, which the Biden Administration has corruptly attacked for years. My Digital Asset Executive Order directs the Presidential Working Group to advance a crypto strategy including XRP, SOL and "ADA". I will ensure America becomes the world capital of Cryptocurrency. We are making America Great Again!"
Cardano (ADA) became the biggest winner - its price soared 60% within 24 hours, and its market cap returned to the global top ten. This is not the first time ADA has skyrocketed due to "policy narratives" in a bull market. Why can a public chain that has long been criticized for "ecological emptiness" always rise to power by seizing the opportunity? Recommended reading: Why do people always buy into ADA?
