Ruth Ben Ghiat at Lucid:

Note: all images used in this essay are from El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s social media feeds. They are expressions of a carefully crafted state brand of mass captivity that depends on a visual rhetoric of dehumanization. The strongman would be nothing without bodies to control. He needs crowds to acclaim his projects of national greatness on camera, taxpayers and crypto investors to fund his bank accounts, soldiers to fight his wars, and enemy bodies to retain as captives. The possessive and paranoid strongman considers even those who flee from him into exile as “his bodies,” and his government may pursue them to silence them or return them to his custody.

The strongman’s own body is central to this corporeal politics: while the crowds of admirers and adversaries are tightly choreographed, he roams free, dominating the stage and monopolizing attention. If the leader has a background in advertising or mass communications, he may be skilled at turning politics, including repression, into an aesthetic experience. He has the starring role as the nation’s protector, the only man with the courage, cojones, and confidence to take extreme actions to solve his nation’s problems and replace a dangerous past with a glorious present. And if he also comes from a small country but has regional or hemispheric ambitions, as is the case with Bukele, he may offer to lend a hand, la mano dura, to be precise, to help a superpower unburden itself of unwanted bodies – bodies of the wrong skin color, ethnicity, beliefs, or provenance. This is the path chosen by Bukele, who has become the Trump administration’s fixer, generously stepping forth to receive shipments of gang members (and also people with no gang affiliation, who were wrongly arrested and deported). The $6million fee he gets from the Americans for this service is nice, but the political legitimation is even better, and gaining a new global audience for his brutal-everyman brand is priceless.

A case in point is the attention generated by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who graciously recorded a video on the grounds of Bukele’s so-called Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT). Inaugurating a new chapter of transnational autocratic action, she stood on El Salvadoran territory and declared “if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences that you could face…this facility is one of the tools in our tool kit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people.” The tattooed and shaved bodies in the background, crammed together and tiered in ways that recall Fascist concentration camps, were an arresting sight. The setting was chosen as a deterrent, not just to foreign gang members and other criminals, but also to anyone in the United States who crosses the constantly moving line of what is grounds for being imprisoned as an enemy of the nation. Autocrats such as Bukele and Trump have only scorn for rule of law and democratic notions of human rights and citizenship. It’s no surprise that Bukele dismissed as “preposterous” the idea that he should release and return Salvadoran citizen Kilmar Ábrego García, who was deported and imprisoned in CECOT despite being legally resident in the United States, with no criminal record.

Yet there is another reason Ábrego García is useful as a captive body: his fate speaks to the apparent randomness of authoritarian repression. Autocracies encourage compliance by telegraphing that anyone can be a target. And now “anyone,” including, theoretically, U.S. citizens born in the United States, could end up in a Salvadoran hellhole from which there is no exit. The Trump-Bukele agreement, and the attention paid to CECOT, highlights the authoritarian aesthetics that has been a core element of Bukele’s brand since he was elected in 2019. To bolster his strongman credentials, he routinely stages authoritarian shows that visually allude to some of the most infamous mass captivities in history. Many of the bodies depicted in these official images belong to assassins or other criminals. According to Human Rights Watch, however, of the 85,000 people Bukele’s government has arrested as of March 2025, only 1,000 of those were convicted of crimes. So, some of the people depicted in Bukele’s videos have likely been wrongfully incarcerated.

[...] Bukele’s youth and his carefully manufactured “coolness” –in 2021, El Salvador became the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender—have been the selling points of what Manuel Meléndez-Sánchez has termed “millennial authoritarianism.” But mass incarceration on the old-school dictator model, and the authoritarian aesthetics it generates, is at the heart of his brand and his appeal. Bukele is popular because in his six years in office he has cracked down on criminals who were terrorizing Salvadorans with physical violence, and extorting vendors and business owners in ways that harmed the economy. In keeping with the authoritarian playbook, though, Bukele has consolidated his power by acting in a thug-like manner against the political opposition. In Feb. 2020 he mobilized heavily armed security forces to force legislators to approve an international loan. “You have one week, gentlemen. One week,” he told them, sitting in a chair reserved for legislators, surrounded by his goons and sounding like one of the gang bosses he imprisons. He has also used the idea of an ongoing public safety crisis to justify a “state of exception” which has been renewed 24 times since it was first declared in 2022.

Already that year, Bukele’s evisceration of the Salvadoran judiciary and assaults on due process and human rights had led the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to denounce the normalization of state “trials” “held in absentia,” with judges’ identities kept confidential, the better to produce speedy convictions and more captive bodies to display. Authoritarians such as Bukele do not accept the democratic idea that you are innocent until proven guilty. Authoritarian history has many examples of people deemed enemies of the state by virtue of their personal histories and characteristics, quite apart from any actions they may have taken. They are bodies that must be preventively confined regardless of what they say or do. Partnering with Bukele, the Trump administration legitimates such practices abroad and prepares to move in this direction at home as well. “Homegrown criminals are next,” Trump told Bukele during the latter’s recent visit to the White House. “You gotta build about five more places.”

Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s column on the horrors of El Salvador President Nayib Bukele and CECOT is a must-read.

[pucca-lore]

hi! i know you said you weren't interested in the crypto news anymore, but i found a bit of information alleging that the youtube channel was hacked and that $pucca is an unoffical project

^ twitter thread from allegedly the ceo of vooz club explaining to youtube after the nft was launched saying the youtube was hacked, if it is true then it would explain a couple of errors ive noticed with the whole situation, 1) why only one of the channels teasing the crypto stuff which seems to be the channels former korean instead the offical pucca english as well as all the links being non updated

the link trees are also very suspicious... https://linktr.ee/pucca_world <- this is the link on the offical english channel, it still has all its old links (insta, tiktok, puccaweb)

https://linktr.ee/puccaworld <- and THIS is the link on the korean channel where all the cryptoshit is, anything thats associated with $pucca seems to remove the _ on any platforms pucca is already on,

https://www.tiktok.com/@pucca_world <- offical verifed pucca tiktok, it should also be noted that on the crypto website on the comment section they're all link specifically to this page and NOT the puccaworld one

https://www.tiktok.com/@puccaworld <- unverified crypto tiktok

My theory of whats happening is that jimmy or whoever hacked the website to use pucca's brand recognition to get people to invest in their memecoin, they get cheap animators to make videos for them so they can put them on their social media which explains the the difference in quality, i dont think theyre really gonna do a season 4 or if they do itll likely be cheap or ai generated and made for cryptobros, i think this whole "pucca revival" thing is scam by greedy hackers trying to take money from the fandom, this is just my theory but i dont really know what to think :(

Hi! Okay, so, it's worth mentioning that the TV show centered channels are literally crumbling and are barely maintained. Sure, they upload, but it's nothing that they put any thought into. Especially the english one. Also I'm pretty sure they're run by people that aren't associated with VOOZ? Anyways, my issue with this is that they most likely would have pursued legal action at this point instead of just shouting about the youtube channel being hacked on twitter. The IP was purchased in August 2024, they have had plenty of time to pursue a legal response and they have not. An alleged old VOOZ employee confirmed the purchase of the IP, if I recall correctly. If not the purchase, they at least confirmed that some of the old Pucca staff is working on the crypto stuff. (I don't recall the exact details, I was not the one to talk with them and I am going off of word of mouth).

The thing about this whole situation is that as much as I would love for this all to be a hijacking, for Pucca to have never officially been affilited with all this stupid bullshit, the IP was most likely purchased legitimately.

I would want nothing more than to be proven wrong.

How to Spot Cryptocurrency Scams

Cryptocurrency scams are easy to spot when you know what to look for. Legitimate cryptocurrencies have readily available disclosures with detailed information about the blockchain and associated tokens.

Read the White Paper

Cryptocurrencies go through a development process. Before this process, there is generally a document published, called a white paper, for the public to read. If it's a legitimate white paper, it clearly describes the protocols and blockchain, outlines the formulas, and explains how the entire network functions. Fake cryptocurrencies don't produce thoroughly written and researched white papers. The fakes are poorly written, with figures that don't add up.

If the whitepaper reads like a pitchbook and outlines how the funds will be used in a project, it is likely a scam or an ICO that should be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If it isn't registered, it's best to ignore it and move on.

Identify Team Members

White papers should always spotlight the members and developers behind the cryptocurrency. There are cases in which an open-source crypto project might not have named developers, which is typical for open-source projects. Still, you can view most coding, comments, and discussions on GitHub or GitLab. Some projects use forums and applications, like Discord or Slack, for discussion. If you can't find any of these elements, and the white paper is rife with errors, stand down—it's likely a scam

Beware of "Free" Items

Many cryptocurrency scams offer free coins or promise to “drop” coins into your wallet. Remind yourself that nothing is ever free, especially money and cryptocurrencies.

Scrutinize the Marketing

Legitimate blockchains and cryptocurrency projects tend to have humble beginnings and don't have the money to advertise and market themselves. Additionally, they won't post on social media pumping themselves up as the next best crypto—they'll talk about the legitimate issues they are trying to solve.

You might see cryptocurrency updates about blockchain developments or new security measures taken, but you should be wary of updates like "millions raised" or communications that appear to be more about money than about advances in the technology behind the crypto.

Legitimate businesses exist that use blockchain technology to provide services. They might have tokens used within their blockchains to pay transaction fees, but the advertising and marketing should appear professional-looking. Scammers also spend on celebrity endorsements and appearances and have all the information readily available on their websites. Legitimate businesses won't ask everyone to buy their crypto; they will advertise their blockchain-based services.

Where there is a lot of hype, there is usually something to be cautious of.

BTC/USD: Bitcoin Surges 5% as Christmas Eve Ignites Crypto Market Momentum

Bitcoin (BTC/USD) experienced a notable rebound on Christmas Eve, reversing a three-day downward trend. The digital asset surged by over 5%, climbing from an intraday low of $93,000 to $99,000. This sharp price appreciation has sparked discussions about a potential Santa rally as the year draws to a close. With just a few trading days remaining, Bitcoin has solidified its position as one of the top-performing assets of the year, boasting an impressive annual gain of 123%.

The Broader Market Sentiment

The surge in Bitcoin prices reflects renewed optimism among investors, particularly as global economic uncertainties continue to push interest toward decentralized finance. Positive sentiment is further fueled by expectations surrounding the crypto industry’s growth under the administration of former President Donald Trump. With a focus on economic innovation, Trump has appointed a team comprising billionaires and tech entrepreneurs tasked with fostering crypto adoption and expanding institutional involvement.

Institutional Adoption and the Rise of Crypto ETFs

Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)

Currently, Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate institutional investment avenues, as evidenced by the approval of 11 Bitcoin ETFs and 9 Ethereum ETFs. These developments have positioned the two largest cryptocurrencies as primary gateways for mainstream and institutional investors looking to gain exposure to digital assets without directly holding them.

Prospective ETF Approvals for Emerging Tokens

Speculation is mounting about the potential approval of ETFs for other prominent tokens. Solana (SOL/USD), XRP (XRP/USD), and Reserve Rights (RSR/USD) are among the contenders for ETF listings in the coming year. Such listings could further legitimize these assets and drive significant inflows, enhancing their market value and liquidity.

Regulatory Outlook and Leadership Changes

The crypto industry is poised for potential regulatory reforms under a new Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) leadership. Paul Atkins, rumored to succeed current SEC Chair Gary Gensler, is widely regarded as a pro-crypto advocate. If appointed, Atkins may introduce deregulation policies that promote innovation while addressing compliance concerns, setting the stage for broader crypto adoption.

Bitcoin’s Performance in 2023: A Year in Review

Key Milestones and Price Trends

Bitcoin’s 123% surge in 2023 underscores its resilience amid volatile market conditions. The cryptocurrency began the year with cautious optimism, trading around $44,000, before climbing to new heights fueled by institutional interest and technological advancements.

Catalysts for Growth

Several factors contributed to Bitcoin’s remarkable performance:

Institutional Interest: The introduction of Bitcoin ETFs increased accessibility for traditional investors.

Macro-Economic Factors: Persistent inflation and concerns over fiat currency depreciation drove investors toward digital assets as a hedge.

Technological Developments: Advances in Bitcoin’s Layer 2 scaling solutions, such as the Lightning Network, improved transaction efficiency.

Regulatory Clarity: Positive regulatory developments provided confidence to market participants.

Short-Term Outlook for Bitcoin

As the year concludes, analysts predict further volatility with a bias toward upward momentum. Traders are monitoring technical resistance levels near $100,000, a psychological barrier that could attract increased buying pressure if breached.

Broader Implications for the Crypto Market

The Role of Altcoins in the Current Rally

While Bitcoin continues to dominate, altcoins are also gaining traction. Solana, XRP, and RSR have displayed robust performance, spurred by rumors of upcoming ETFs and improved network functionalities. Investors are diversifying portfolios to capitalize on the growth potential of these emerging projects.

Institutional Adoption Trends

The influx of institutional capital into crypto assets is set to accelerate, driven by regulatory advancements and the proliferation of ETFs. Financial institutions are exploring blockchain-based solutions, further embedding cryptocurrencies into mainstream financial systems.

Regulatory Framework: A Turning Point

The anticipated appointment of a more crypto-friendly SEC Chair could pave the way for streamlined regulations, enhancing transparency and investor protection without stifling innovation. A favorable regulatory environment could unlock new opportunities for growth and development across the crypto ecosystem.

Predictions for 2024: What Lies Ahead?

Bitcoin’s Price Trajectory

Analysts project that Bitcoin may test higher resistance levels, potentially breaching the $100,000 mark. Factors such as increased institutional adoption, regulatory reforms, and macroeconomic trends will likely influence its price dynamics.

Altcoins on the Rise

Altcoins like Solana and XRP are positioned for substantial gains, driven by technological upgrades and anticipated ETF approvals. Investors should monitor developments in network scalability and interoperability, which could drive demand for these assets.

Evolving Market Infrastructure

The crypto landscape is expected to witness advancements in infrastructure, including decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and cross-chain interoperability. These innovations could attract new participants and boost overall market capitalization.

Regulatory Clarity and Adoption

With regulatory reforms on the horizon, 2024 could mark a turning point for mass adoption. Clearer guidelines may encourage institutional investors to allocate larger portions of their portfolios to cryptocurrencies, enhancing market stability and credibility.

Investment Strategies for Crypto Traders

Risk Management in Volatile Markets

Given the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, traders should employ risk management strategies such as stop-loss orders and position sizing to safeguard capital. Diversification across multiple assets can also mitigate risks.

Long-Term Holding vs. Active Trading

Investors should assess their risk tolerance and investment horizon before selecting a strategy. Long-term holders benefit from compounding gains, while active traders capitalize on short-term price fluctuations.

Leveraging Fundamental and Technical Analysis

Combining fundamental analysis, which evaluates project viability, with technical analysis, focusing on price patterns and trends, can provide a comprehensive approach to decision-making.

Conclusion: Capitalizing on Crypto Opportunities

Bitcoin’s 5% Christmas Eve rally highlights the resilience and growth potential of the cryptocurrency market. With institutional adoption on the rise, regulatory reforms in progress, and technological advancements unfolding, 2024 presents significant opportunities for investors.

As market dynamics continue to evolve, staying informed and adaptable will be key to navigating the complexities of the crypto space. Whether focusing on Bitcoin, altcoins, or emerging technologies, prudent strategies can help traders capitalize on this rapidly expanding market.

Stay Vigilant: How to Avoid Scams in the Crypto Space

The cryptocurrency world is full of promise, opportunity, and innovation, but unfortunately, it's also a breeding ground for scams. As crypto continues to rise in popularity, so do the number of people looking to take advantage of others. According to a report by Chainalysis, cryptocurrency scams cost investors $14 billion in 2021 alone, highlighting the urgent need for vigilance. Scammers are getting smarter and more sophisticated, targeting individuals through social media and other online platforms. I've personally encountered these scams, and today I want to share my experience to help others stay safe.

The Psychology of Scams

At the heart of every scam is one thing: manipulation. Scammers are experts at playing on human emotions—whether it's excitement, greed, or desperation. They know how to make offers seem irresistible, making promises of unbelievable returns or exclusive opportunities. Their entire approach is built around FOMO (fear of missing out) and urgency, pushing people to act quickly without thinking critically.

It's important to understand that these scams often seem tailor-made for each individual. Scammers take time to study their targets, learning their interests and pain points, before crafting the perfect pitch.

Common Types of Scams

There are several common types of scams in the crypto space that you should be aware of:

Phishing Attempts: Attempts to steal sensitive information by pretending to be a legitimate entity. Whether it's a fake email or website, scammers often ask for private keys or passwords.

Fake Giveaways and Impersonations: You might have seen these on social media—"Send 0.1 BTC and get 1 BTC in return!" These scams often involve impersonators posing as well-known figures or organizations.

Investment Scams: These scams promise guaranteed returns that sound too good to be true. The scammer tries to convince you to invest in a project or exchange that ultimately disappears with your money.

Off-the-Wall Exchanges: Many scammers will direct you to sketchy, little-known exchanges, promising quick profits. These platforms often have no regulatory oversight and can vanish overnight, taking your assets with them.

Pump and Dump Schemes: In these scams, fraudsters artificially inflate the price of a cryptocurrency through false statements, then sell their holdings at the inflated price, causing the value to crash.

My Personal Experience

Recently, I've been targeted by scammers on X (formerly Twitter). The pattern is always the same: someone follows me, I follow them back, and within a short time, they slide into my DMs with an investment pitch. They promise incredible returns, sometimes showing fake testimonials or screenshots of "earnings." Every time, they try to send me to obscure exchanges, claiming I need to use their "exclusive platform" to achieve these returns.

The red flags were obvious to me: the promises were outlandish, and the exchanges were completely unfamiliar. It's important to trust your instincts in these situations. If something feels off, it probably is.

Why Scammers Succeed

So why do these scams work? It comes down to psychological tricks. Scammers create a sense of urgency, making you feel like you'll miss out on an opportunity if you don't act quickly. They also prey on greed, offering returns that are too good to pass up. For many people, the idea of easy money is tempting enough to lower their guard, even when the deal seems suspicious.

Scammers also succeed because they create fear or doubt. They might claim that the window of opportunity is closing, or that their "offer" is only available for a limited time. These tactics work because they bypass logical thinking and appeal directly to emotion.

How to Stay Vigilant

Staying safe in the crypto space requires a mixture of caution, skepticism, and research. Here are a few ways to protect yourself:

Recognize the Red Flags: If someone promises guaranteed returns, especially astronomical ones, be wary. Similarly, if you're being rushed into making a decision or are directed to an unknown exchange, stop and evaluate the situation.

Research Exchanges Before Investing: Always take time to thoroughly research any exchange you plan to use. Look at reviews, check for regulatory compliance, and verify if the platform has a strong track record.

Protect Your Digital Assets: Use hardware wallets and enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all your accounts. Avoid sharing sensitive information like your private keys with anyone, and be mindful of phishing attempts.

Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter a scam, report the account or platform to the appropriate authorities. On social media, you can block and report scammers to help protect others from falling victim.

Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with the latest crypto news and scam tactics. Websites like CoinDesk and Cointelegraph can be valuable resources.

What to Do If You've Been Scammed

If you believe you've fallen victim to a crypto scam, take these steps immediately:

Stop All Communication: Cut off contact with the scammer immediately.

Document Everything: Save all communications, transaction details, and any other relevant information.

Report the Scam: Contact your local law enforcement and file a report. Also, report the scam to the relevant crypto exchange or platform.

Inform Your Bank: If you used a credit card or bank transfer, contact your bank immediately to try and stop or reverse the transaction.

Seek Support: Being scammed can be emotionally devastating. Don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or professional counseling services.

Conclusion

The world of crypto offers immense potential, but it's also filled with risks. Scammers are becoming smarter, and their methods more sophisticated, but by staying vigilant and doing your research, you can protect yourself from their traps. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Take the time to think critically, guard your assets, and most importantly, stay informed.

Stay safe out there, and happy investing!

Don't Miss Out: A Step-by-Step Guide to Claiming Airdrops on Binance with Trading DX

The world of cryptocurrency is rife with exciting opportunities, and airdrops are one way projects can generate buzz and attract new users. Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, is a popular platform for launching airdrops. But how do you claim these free tokens and ensure you're not falling victim to a scam? Fear not, crypto enthusiasts! Trading DX is here to guide you through the airdrop claiming process on Binance with this comprehensive step-by-step guide.

Before You Begin: Understanding Airdrops

What is an Airdrop?

An airdrop is a distribution of free cryptocurrency tokens by a project or platform. The aim is to generate awareness, attract new users, and incentivize participation in their ecosystem. Projects may airdrop tokens directly to wallets or require specific actions, like holding a certain amount of another token on the platform.

Why Should You Care About Airdrops?

Airdrops offer a chance to acquire new cryptocurrencies for free, potentially leading to significant gains if the project behind the airdrop takes off. However, it's crucial to approach airdrops with caution and only participate in legitimate ones.

Identifying Legitimate Airdrops on Binance

Trust the Source: Always check if the airdrop announcement originates from Binance's official channels, like their website, social media (beware of fake accounts!), or announcements directly on the platform.

Research the Project: Before claiming an airdrop, research the project behind it. Is it a legitimate project with a clear purpose and development roadmap? Beware of airdrops promising unrealistic returns or requiring suspicious actions.

Beware of Scams: Never share your private keys or sensitive information to claim an airdrops. Legitimate airdrops will not require you to send cryptocurrency or pay any fees. If something feels off, it probably is!

Claiming Your Airdrop on Binance: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Locate the Airdrop Announcement:

The first step is to identify the airdrop you're interested in claiming. Legitimate airdrops will be announced through official Binance channels, as mentioned previously. Look for details about the airdrop, including eligibility criteria, the distribution date, and how to claim your tokens.

2. Ensure Eligibility:

Each airdrop has specific criteria to determine who can claim the tokens. These criteria may involve factors like holding a certain amount of another cryptocurrency on Binance, completing specific tasks, or registering for the airdrop during a designated timeframe. Carefully review the eligibility requirements to ensure you qualify.

3. Access Your Binance Account:

Once you've confirmed your eligibility, log in to your Binance account. Ensure you're using the official Binance website or mobile app to avoid phishing scams.

4. Navigate to the Airdrop Section (if applicable):

Depending on the specific airdrop, you might need to navigate to a dedicated section on the Binance platform. This section could be labeled "Airdrop" or "Distribution" and may be found under the "Wallet" or "Rewards" tab. Refer to the airdrop announcement for specific instructions.

5. Locate the Specific Airdrop:

If there's a dedicated airdrop section, browse through the listed airdrops and find the one you're interested in claiming.

6. Claim Your Tokens:

Once you've located the airdrop, you'll likely find a button labeled "Claim" or "Receive." Click this button to initiate the claiming process. Follow any additional on-screen instructions specific to that airdrop.

7. Review Your Claimed Tokens (Optional):

After successfully claiming your airdrop, you may want to verify that the tokens have been deposited into your Binance account. Navigate to your "Wallet" section and check the balance for the airdropped tokens.

Important Takeaways:

Stay Vigilant: Always prioritize safety when claiming airdrops. Stick to official channels and thoroughly research the project behind the airdrop. Never share your private keys or sensitive information.

Double-check Eligibility: Ensure you meet all the criteria before attempting to claim an airdrop.

Beware of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Don't rush into claiming airdrops based on hype alone. Do your due diligence before participating.

Demystifying Crypto with Keystone Investors Club Digital Membership

I've been cautiously curious about cryptocurrency for a while. The potential for high returns is undeniable, but the volatility and complexity of the market kept me on the sidelines. That's where the Keystone Investors Club Digital Membership Area came in.

I particularly appreciated the clear and concise video tutorials, which broke down complex concepts into easy-to-understand chunks.

Rolling stone

The suit includes a dozen plaintiffs who claim to have collectively lost more than $150,000. It alleges that the defendants “leveraged Welch’s celebrity status and connections” and “created a speculative frenzy” in order to jack up the coin’s price as trading began, luring in “first-time cryptocurrency participants” who were drawn to the project as fans of Welch.

What?

Do these people- do they-- do they not know how a spokesperson works? what do they think 'influencers' are influencing? do they legitimately think these social media people are like rigorously testing products in a lab setting? I just don't get it.

Top Presale Crypto Projects to Watch in 2025

The crypto presale market continues to attract investors looking for early access to innovative blockchain projects. As tokens are offered before being listed on exchanges, presales present an opportunity to buy in at a discount and support a project from its early development stage.

With hundreds of new tokens emerging each month, it’s important to distinguish high-potential opportunities from hype-driven campaigns. In 2025, identifying the top presale crypto projects requires a solid understanding of token utility, team credibility, and real-world demand.

This guide explores what makes a crypto presale valuable, how to assess presale tokens, and a look at some of the most promising projects currently gaining traction.

What Is a Crypto Presale?

A crypto presale is the early fundraising phase of a blockchain project, where its native tokens are offered before they are listed on public exchanges. These sales are often structured in stages—such as seed rounds, private sales, and public whitelists.

Presales help fund development, generate early community interest, and reward initial backers with discounted token prices. The goal is to build long-term support for the project while ensuring there is sufficient liquidity and functionality at launch.

Why Crypto Presales Are Growing in Popularity

Participating in a crypto presale allows investors to:

Access tokens before they trade on exchanges

Invest at lower prices than the public sale

Gain early staking or governance rights

Support the growth of early-stage blockchain innovation

As more sophisticated projects enter the space—particularly in AI, DeFi, and real-world asset tokenization—the presale model has become a legitimate channel for early venture-style crypto investing.

What Makes a Top Presale Crypto Project?

Not all presales are equal. The best projects typically share a few core characteristics:

Strong Use Case

The token should power a product or service that solves a real problem. Look for projects in sectors such as AI, data privacy, Web3 infrastructure, or decentralized finance.

Credible Founding Team

A transparent, experienced team is one of the clearest indicators of project reliability. Review their track record, open-source activity, and past startups or protocols.

Tokenomics with Long-Term Viability

Well-designed token distribution ensures sustainability and discourages short-term dumping. Check for balanced allocations, fair vesting schedules, and strong incentives for ecosystem growth.

Smart Contract Security

Presale projects should publish third-party audit reports before raising funds. This reduces the risk of vulnerabilities or malicious code.

Community and Ecosystem Growth

The best presales generate momentum through engaged Discord groups, Twitter activity, and consistent project updates. Community transparency is essential.

Top Presale Crypto Projects in 2025

Here are some standout projects currently considered among the top presale crypto tokens this year:

NexAI

An AI-native oracle network providing real-time, adaptive data feeds to DeFi apps and NFTs. Its token is used to reward data validators and pay for query services.

ArcBridge

A cross-chain infrastructure protocol enabling seamless data and asset transfers across L1 and L2 networks. Early token buyers get fee discounts and staking rewards.

CarbonMint

Focused on tokenizing carbon offsets and ESG compliance, CarbonMint’s platform uses blockchain to track, verify, and trade environmental assets. Its presale targets sustainability-focused funds.

These projects combine innovative use cases with practical token utility—making them strong contenders for long-term adoption.

How to Participate in a Crypto Presale

To join a crypto presale, follow these steps:

Research projects using platforms like CoinGecko, CryptoRank, or launchpads such as Seedify or DAO Maker.

Join the whitelist if required—usually through a form or KYC process.

Verify the token contract address from official sources.

Use a secure wallet like MetaMask or Trust Wallet to send contributions.

Track token allocation, vesting schedule, and project milestones after the sale.

Always double-check the source of presale links and avoid offers sent via social media DMs or unofficial channels.

Risks and Best Practices

Presale participation carries risks, including:

Token price volatility after listing

Potential delays in development

Smart contract vulnerabilities

Unproven teams or incomplete roadmaps

Changing regulatory conditions in your jurisdiction

To mitigate risks:

Never invest more than you’re willing to lose

Cross-check project audits and team details

Use a hardware wallet for storage after claim

Diversify across multiple sectors or presales

Conclusion

A well-researched crypto presale can be a valuable way to gain early exposure to promising blockchain innovations. With thoughtful evaluation and risk management, investors can identify top presale crypto projects that offer not just short-term price action, but long-term impact in the evolving Web3 landscape.

As the space matures, success will depend on substance—not hype. Focus on use case, utility, and execution, and you’ll be better positioned to make smart early-stage crypto investments.

Discover the Top Crypto Presales for Maximum ROI

Understanding the Power of Crypto Presales

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, Top Crypto Presales have emerged as one of the most lucrative opportunities for early investors. These early-stage investment rounds offer coins or tokens before they are launched on public exchanges, often at a significantly lower price. For smart investors, this is the golden hour to get in early and maximize returns.

Why Crypto Presales Matter in 2025

As we move through 2025, the crypto market is showing strong signs of recovery and growth. With blockchain innovation surging across industries and the emergence of AI-integrated decentralized platforms, Top Crypto Presales are capturing the attention of both new and seasoned investors. The opportunities in these presales are not only about cost advantages but also about gaining early access to game-changing technologies.

The Financial Advantage of Getting in Early

Buying tokens during a presale means you’re purchasing them at a discount before they become widely available. This often translates to a higher ROI once the token hits the open market. Many investors who identified Top Crypto Presales in the past have seen returns ranging from 5x to over 100x. The trick is identifying legitimate, high-potential projects before the crowd.

How to Identify the Top Crypto Presales

There are several criteria investors should consider when hunting for the Top Crypto Presales. These include a strong development team, a clear and achievable roadmap, meaningful utility for the token, community support, and transparency. Projects with backing from well-known venture capital firms often gain more credibility in the eyes of early investors.

The Role of Community-Owned AI in Modern Presales

With the rise of autonomous AI agents, the crypto space is transforming. Platforms like Unstaked are pioneering this shift by allowing AI agents to autonomously engage and grow communities around presale tokens. This creates a decentralized, trustless, and scalable system for token promotion and investor education, further propelling the relevance of Top Crypto Presales.

Top Crypto Presales to Watch This Year

As of mid-2025, several presale tokens have already made waves. Projects integrating AI, DeFi 2.0, GameFi, and real-world asset tokenization are gaining momentum. What sets these Top Crypto Presales apart is their potential for mass adoption and sustainable value growth. Investors are encouraged to conduct thorough research, but keeping an eye on trending ecosystems like Polkadot, Solana, and Ethereum Layer-2 solutions is a wise move.

Security and Regulation in Presales

Security is paramount when investing in Top Crypto Presales. The decentralized nature of crypto makes it a target for scams, so verifying smart contract audits, KYC compliance, and the identity of the team is crucial. Regulatory clarity is also improving in many regions, offering better investor protection and clearer frameworks for token launches.

Tokenomics and Their Impact on Presale Success

Tokenomics refers to how a token’s supply, distribution, and utility are structured. For a project to be considered one of the Top Crypto Presales, its tokenomics must be sound. This includes limited supply, strong incentive mechanisms for holders, and well-timed vesting periods for team tokens. Token burns, staking, and liquidity mining also play roles in long-term value.

Marketing Strategies Behind Successful Presales

Even a great project can fail without proper marketing. The best Top Crypto Presales leverage viral marketing tactics, influencer collaborations, community AMAs, and strategic airdrops. This generates hype and ensures a wider distribution of tokens, which can help stabilize early market prices post-launch.

AI-Powered Growth: Changing the Game

AI is revolutionizing every industry, and crypto is no exception. AI agents are now capable of detecting trends, engaging users, and optimizing investment decisions. For projects identified as Top Crypto Presales, the integration of AI into their operations signals innovation and future-readiness — two major indicators of long-term success.

Real Case Studies of Explosive Presale Returns

From Ethereum’s humble beginnings to the more recent Arbitrum and Optimism airdrops, early backers in Top Crypto Presales have reaped immense rewards. These examples show that informed early investment, combined with patience, can lead to life-changing gains.

Risks Involved in Crypto Presales

Despite the promise of high returns, Top Crypto Presales come with their share of risks. Token dumps, rug pulls, and vaporware projects are common threats. Always evaluate a project’s whitepaper, check GitHub repositories, and assess community sentiment before diving in. The higher the potential reward, the higher the risk — proper due diligence is essential.

Top Crypto Presales vs IDOs and ICOs

While Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) have similarities, presales are often more exclusive and come with better terms. Top Crypto Presales often take place before any public round, meaning fewer participants and more significant potential rewards. However, access is often limited to whitelisted or private investors, making early involvement critical.

How Decentralization Adds Value

One key aspect separating the average presale from the Top Crypto Presales is decentralization. Community governance, DAO integration, and open-source development increase transparency and user control. These elements create robust ecosystems that are more likely to thrive long-term.

Liquidity Concerns and Lockup Periods

Not all tokens are immediately tradable after presales. Understanding lockup periods and liquidity provisions is vital. The Top Crypto Presales provide clear, transparent schedules for token releases and often implement liquidity mining programs or initial DEX liquidity to maintain healthy trading environments.

Investor Psychology and Market Sentiment

Human emotion plays a massive role in crypto investing. The best Top Crypto Presales not only offer value on paper but also understand how to generate positive market sentiment. Community engagement, consistent updates, and visible progress help sustain confidence and hold interest during market turbulence.

The Role of Influencers in Boosting Presale Visibility

Influencers can amplify the reach of presales. However, only Top Crypto Presales manage this relationship responsibly, balancing genuine endorsements with transparency. Investors should always look for organic interest over paid promotions.

Utility-Driven Tokens Gain More Traction

Utility is king in 2025. The days of meme coins dominating the presale landscape are waning. Investors now gravitate towards Top Crypto Presales offering real-world use cases — whether in DeFi lending, AI platforms, data storage, or gaming.

Smart Contracts and Audit Reports

Code is law in the blockchain world. Presales backed by audited smart contracts, especially by recognized firms, tend to draw more confidence. Investors looking for Top Crypto Presales should always examine audit documentation and code repositories when possible.

Cross-Chain Integration as a Competitive Edge

With the multichain future ahead, cross-chain compatibility is a feature to look for in Top Crypto Presales. Projects that can operate across Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and other networks attract a wider user base and enhance liquidity opportunities.

Staying Updated with Reliable Sources

Investors must follow reliable sources to track the Top Crypto Presales. Websites like Unstaked, Telegram groups, Twitter influencers, and Discord communities are essential hubs for presale alerts, project updates, and real-time discussions. Subscribing to reputable crypto newsletters and research portals can also help you stay ahead of the curve.

Conclusion: Your Opportunity to Invest Early

The crypto space is filled with potential, but it’s the early birds who often catch the biggest worms. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just beginning your journey, focusing on Top Crypto Presales offers a strategic advantage. Backed by solid fundamentals, transparency, and innovation, these presales are shaping the future of decentralized finance, artificial intelligence, and digital ownership. Make sure to stay informed, evaluate opportunities critically, and never underestimate the power of being early in a world that rewards boldness.

Zinemx Security Guide: Identifying Scams in Scam Crypto Art Projects

As an innovative fusion of digital art and crypto assets, NFTs have attracted significant attention from investors in recent years. However, in this field where regulation is still lacking, some scam projects disguised as art collections have proliferated, creating meticulously packaged scams that lure users into purchasing worthless NFT works at high prices. As a platform that places the highest priority on user asset security, Zinemx Exchange is committed to exposing NFT scams, helping users improve their ability to identify risks, and safeguarding personal asset safety.

The Scam of Fake Limited Editions

Some NFT scam projects gain trust by forging artist identities or fabricating partnerships and creating fictitious project backgrounds. These scams often set up seemingly professional websites, claiming the artist has won awards at international art exhibitions or collaborated with well-known galleries—claims that cannot be verified. Zinemx Exchange warns that after these limited-edition NFTs are sold, the team behind them disappears, leaving all NFTs as worthless tokens with no liquidity or value.

Zinemx Exchange emphasizes that if the authenticity of the NFT creator cannot be verified and the project lacks transparency, it is highly likely to be a scam. Launching and selling NFTs without any verification by trading platforms or communities poses extremely high risks. Investors should never blindly trust marketing language; instead, they should cross-verify information through multiple on-chain and social channels.

How to Spot NFT Scams

Zinemx Exchange advises users to avoid blindly following the crowd or being misled by celebrity endorsements when encountering NFT projects. Legitimate NFT projects can provide detailed and transparent whitepapers, author identity verification, and open-source contract information.

When facing an NFT project without credible endorsements, Zinemx Exchange recommends users verify authenticity through multiple channels, including reviewing historical social media posts, on-chain transaction records, and listings on mainstream platforms.

Zinemx Exchange reminds users not to connect their wallets to suspicious NFT websites or grant permissions to unfamiliar contracts. Under any circumstances, the platform recommends using hardware wallets or built-in multi-factor authentication features to prevent NFT scam projects from stealing tokens via authorization.

Building a Safe NFT Ecosystem Together

As an important part of the crypto space, the future development of NFTs should be based on compliance and security. Zinemx Exchange will continue to cooperate with security agencies to crack down on NFT scams, and through educational resources, risk warning systems, and community collaboration mechanisms, provide users with a more reliable NFT investment environment. Zinemx hopes NFT investors will strengthen their risk awareness, carefully assess whether there are scams behind each project, and never let trust become the price of a scam.
