Willemstad, Curaçao, April 2nd, 2025, Chainwire
Overtime, an onchain sportsbook platform, has formally integrated its parent protocol, Thales, under the Overtime brand. The consolidation introduces a unified identity for the protocol and coincides with the launch of a new native token, $OVER. As part of the transition, the project has also unveiled a new primary domain and implemented full Account Abstraction integration to enhance the platform’s user experience.
With over four years of development, Overtime has established itself as a fully onchain sportsbook offering functionality comparable to traditional offchain platforms. Built on the Ethereum network, the protocol emphasizes transparency, security, and immutability. Overtime’s operational history includes:
- Over $200 million in volumes
- Support for over 100 sports and leagues
- 50,000 active users
- More than 10,000 unique betting markets
Users can access the new Overtime domain here: https://www.overtime.io/
A Decentralized Alternative to Traditional Sports Betting
Overtime distinguishes itself from traditional bookmakers by operating a fully decentralized, permissionless sportsbook platform. Anyone can seamlessly access Overtime with a simple connection without the barriers of traditional restrictive betting limits, arbitrary bans, or withheld payouts.
Since its inception, Overtime has organically become the primary driver of Thales DAO growth. Recognizing this growth, the DAO’s community unanimously approved (via Thales Improvement Proposal 238) the full merger of Thales DAO to the branding of Overtime.
Comprehensive Onchain User Experience Enabled by Full Account Abstraction
With this launch, Overtime is also introducing a new concept: Overtime Accounts—an onchain smart account designed to abstract wallet and EVM network complexities.
Overtime Accounts use Particle Network for the seamless creation of wallets via Social Logins, and Biconomy’s SDK to handle the smart-account functionalities, enabling frictionless transactions through its Paymaster, Bundler, and Session Keys infrastructure.
After creating an Overtime Account, users can deposit supported collateral into their designated address to access Overtime’s onchain sportsbook interface. The platform supports features such as parlays, system bets, same-game parlays (SGPs), futures, and live betting. Transactions are executed through an account abstraction framework, removing the need for manual confirmations or the use of ETH to cover gas fees.
Overtime’s user experience has been designed to minimize blockchain-related complexities, allowing users to engage with the platform’s sportsbook features without requiring technical knowledge of underlying blockchain processes. The interface offers a streamlined experience comparable to traditional web applications while maintaining the transparency and self-custody benefits provided by the Ethereum network.
A new Overtime UX is available here: https://www.overtimemarkets.xyz/
The new Overtime DAO token: $OVER
The new $OVER token will have a new total supply of 69.42M, compared to the original 100M of the THALES token. This means that 30.58M THALES tokens will be burned in preparation for the migration to $OVER. All THALES token holders will be able to migrate their $THALES to $OVER token at a 1:1 ratio on the new overtime.io domain. This aligns with the new sustainable tokenomics designed to foster growth and focus it entirely on the $OVER token.
The new $OVER token will serve multiple utilities:
- $OVER as Betting Collateral: By using $OVER token as collateral on Overtime, users will enjoy improved odds (2% better than baseline odds) compared to other collaterals. This boosts $OVER token usage and aligns token holders with platform users.
- Buyback & Burn: All fees from Overtime will flow directly towards $OVER token buybacks, focusing the entire growth of the project towards the token. Burning the buybacks reinforces deflationary token dynamics.
- Governance Token: Holding $OVER grants voting power within Overtime’s decentralized governance structure.
The $OVER token is built using Chainlink’s CCT token standard for easy and secure cross-network bridging using Chainlink’s CCIP. The token will be live and liquid on Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base across prominent decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap, Velodrome, and Aerodrome.
How Overtime works
Overtime innovations are a testament to its industry leadership:
- Onchain Parlays, System Bets, and SGPs: With its cutting-edge smart contract technology, Overtime brings advanced sportsbook features onchain.
- Live Betting: With the Merkle Tree-based core architecture paired with robust Chainlink oracle infrastructure, Overtime has managed to bring Live Betting onchain without the risks of frontrunning and toxic flow.
- Permissionless Liquidity Providing: Overtime Liquidity Pools allow anyone to deposit USDC, ETH, and BTC collateral to gain exposure to platform performance and act as a counterparty pool against the traders.
- Onchain Free Bets infrastructure: Anyone can wrap their tokens and send them as Overtime Free Bets. Overtime’s open Free Bets solution is a cutting-edge tool for user rewards and onboarding.
A global movement
Overtime represents an onchain revolution, a real-life example of how a traditional industry is improved by going onchain. It is a fair, permissionless, and globally accessible powerhouse that is bound to organically dethrone all classic offchain platforms.
Unlike traditional sportsbooks that may restrict users based on performance, Overtime operates on a fully transparent and onchain infrastructure. The platform’s design ensures that participation is governed by smart contracts, removing the ability to impose user-specific limitations. Engagement is determined solely by the interaction between users and the underlying liquidity smart contracts.
To date, Overtime has distributed cryptocurrency-based incentives, rewards, and competition payouts amounting to several million dollars in value. Participation in Overtime’s promotional campaigns and airdrops is open to all users, subject to eligibility criteria and regional availability.
About Overtime
Overtime is a fully onchain sportsbook designed for accessibility, allowing users to connect via social accounts or EVM-compatible wallets. The platform supports multiple cryptocurrencies and provides fiat onramp options through credit card payments. Overtime replicates the core functionalities of traditional sportsbooks while operating through decentralized infrastructure. The protocol does not implement user bans or individualized restrictions, enabling open access to place bets and withdraw funds. Throughout each season, users may be eligible for various forms of incentives such as cryptocurrency airdrops, free bet credits, and other rewards. Additionally, participants have the option to contribute to the platform’s liquidity pool, effectively taking on the role of liquidity providers.

London, UK, April 2nd, 2025, Chainwire
Decentraland’s flagship virtual event returns April 9–12, showcasing digital fashion as a new canvas for storytelling, activism, and global identity.
Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW) returns to Decentraland from April 9–12, amid a shifting fashion landscape characterized by declining traditional luxury sales and evolving consumer preferences. MVFW 2025 highlights digital fashion’s growing relevance as a meaningful response to these industry transformations. Under this year’s theme, “Infinite Identities,” more than 47 global designers and brands leverage digital mediums to challenge creative boundaries and articulate nuanced cultural identities.
Hosted on Decentraland 2.0, the platform’s newly redesigned desktop client offers improved visuals, greater interactivity, and better accessibility. These enhancements, developed during the event’s hiatus, provide an immersive and engaging environment for attendees and creators alike.
“This year’s Metaverse Fashion Week comes at a critical moment for fashion and our society at large; one marked by rethinking priorities, authenticity, and connection,” says Bay Backner, Head Producer of MVFW. “I’ve had the privilege of working closely with every designer and brand taking part, and I’ve seen how digital fashion can elevate unheard voices, ask important questions, and spark real cultural change. In a time like this, when the physical world feels increasingly heavy or limiting, third spaces like Decentraland become places where people can breathe, create, and truly be themselves. MVFW 2025 channels that energy into a live moment for fashion’s next breakout names and creative economies.”
Runways: Fashion as Cultural Dialogue
Runways have always been the cornerstone of fashion weeks worldwide, but MVFW 2025 reimagines this classic format through immersive, collaborative, and interactive experiences. Attendees can anticipate creative surprises as designers redefine the runway with innovative animated collections that blur the line between digital and physical fashion.
Cyberdog: London’s iconic brand brings its neon-infused, rave-culture aesthetic into the virtual realm, blending futuristic fashion with underground electronic subcultures.
Free The Youth: Ghanaian collective Free The Youth highlights African streetwear and creativity, celebrating bold, culturally driven designs that bridge physical and virtual worlds.
The Banners We Wear: Decentraland’s inaugural MVFW Prize unveils deeply personal collections from emerging designers. With a $15,000 prize pool, this unique competition challenged designers globally to create digital wearables that convey powerful messages about identity, activism, and resilience. Winning entries will debut on a dedicated runway, spotlighting urgent social narratives and elevating voices often marginalized in mainstream fashion.
Interactive Designer Showrooms: Digital Fashion as Storytelling
At the heart of MVFW 2025 are 16 interactive designer showrooms, each exploring the interplay between fashion, technology, and cultural narrative. These showrooms are divided into two thematic zones, Augmented Self and Storied Self, offering distinct yet complementary perspectives on digital self-expression.
- Augmented Self: This zone highlights innovative uses of AI, AR, and digital-physical (“phygital”) fashion. Showrooms include AI-driven styling by Digital Drip, AR-enhanced virtual fashion by FFFACE.ME, NFT-powered wearable collaborations from Another-1 X Templa, and microchip manicure technology from Chipped.
- Storied Self: Dedicated to fashion as cultural storytelling, this zone spotlights global narratives and identity-driven collections. Key highlights include adaptive fashion for prosthetics by Ukraine’s SVD Denim, mycelium-inspired digital wearables from Amsterdam’s GLTCH Atelier, and culturally resonant digital storytelling from Puerto Rico’s Spatialgineers Collective.
Immersive Experiences & Insightful Conversations
Beyond runways and showrooms, MVFW 2025 invites attendees to experience transformative fashion installations and conversations exploring identity, technology, and culture:
- “Entangled Q” by Cansy: A quantum-inspired art installation featuring avatars that dynamically morph, exploring fluid identities.
- “OFF-WORLD Galactic Expansion” by The Immersive KIND: A futuristic display merging AI-generated beauty, robotics couture, and interstellar aesthetics.
A curated series of panels will dive deeper into key conversations, covering the evolving role of avatars in digital self-expression, AI’s impact on fashion creativity, wearable tech in gaming environments, and the intersection of physical and virtual retail. Panelists include industry leaders from Harper’s BAZAAR Australia, Parsons School of Design, Ready Player Me, Institut Français de la Mode, Boy’s Club, and more.
Metaverse Fashion Week 2025 taps into a growing appetite for fashion that has meaning beyond trends, signaling a shift toward stories that matter and identities that resonate globally. As digital spaces become essential platforms for expression, Decentraland opens new possibilities for creators and communities to craft a freer, more inclusive vision of fashion. With immersive runways, interactive storytelling, and conversations that challenge the status quo, MVFW 2025 invites everyone to experience how digital fashion can reflect—and reshape—our world.

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ostium, the pioneering leveraged trading platform for Real World Assets, today announced the launch of its Ostium Points Program, a competitive system tracking user activity and engagement across the platform designed to help incentivize trading, referrals, and liquidity provisioning across its ecosystem. Today the platform enables users to long or short stocks, commodities, indices and currencies.
The program officially launches on Monday, March 31, 2025, with an initial points distribution of 10 million points allocated retroactively to early adopters who have been active on the platform prior to the program launch. Retroactive points emphasize recognizing users on Ostium’s public Mainnet and private Mainnet, testnet, and pre-testnet phases. Visit ostium.app/points to check your points allocation.
500,000 points will be distributed weekly based on user activity. Weekly points distribution may increase and available points will be communicated at the start of each week.
The program is designed to recognize early adopters while creating an engaging competitive environment for all participants. By acknowledging users who contribute to the ecosystem through their trading activity, referrals, and liquidity provision, Ostium aims to further strengthen its community of traders and liquidity providers.
The Ostium Points Program features the following components:
- Real-time score tracking: Scores update immediately when users trade or provide liquidity. These scores are converted into points at the end of every week.
- Weekly conversions to points: Every Sunday at midnight UTC, accumulated scores convert to points based on relative participation levels. Score tracking then resets for the new week.
- Dual scoring system: The program tracks two types of scores: Trading/Referral scores and Liquidity Provision scores. While there are two score categories, they combine into a single points total.
- Competitive leaderboards: Users can monitor their real-time ranking against other participants in both score categories and in the global points leaderboard.
- Referral benefits: The program allocates 1 trading score for every 5 trading scores generated by referred users. Users who sign up with a referral code receive a 5% boost on all trading scores.
- Community contributions: A small portion of weekly points is optionally reserved for substantial open-source contributions to the protocol, such as critical bug reports and technical research.
The Points Program represents the next phase in Ostium’s community development strategy, building on its mainnet launch that brought access to global macro markets for the first time onchain.
The Ostium Points Program begins March 31, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET. Users can view their point allocations and track their scores on the platform’s interface. New points are allocated weekly on Sundays at midnight UTC.
For more information about the Ostium Points Program, visit www.ostium.app/points.

DUBAI, UAE, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has staged a remarkable comeback, recording $3.61 billion in asset inflows in March and reclaiming the No.2 spot in trading volume. The latest inflows serve as a testament to the effectiveness of Bybit’s rapid recovery strategies and its unwavering commitment to user security and transparency.
No. 1 in 1-month Capital Inflows
According to DeFiLama data, Bybit led centralized exchanges in capital inflows over the past month, adding $3.61 billion in March and reaching a total value locked (TVL) of $14.9 billion as of March 31, 2025. Over the 31-day period, Bybit’s significant inflows across timeframes (7-day: $612.62 million, 1-month: $3.61 billion) underscore the confidence users have placed in the platform. Bybit has withstood one of the greatest tests in crypto history, setting new benchmarks in rapid recovery strategies across: security recalibration, operational and financial resilience, and trust building.
Bybit Reclaims No. 2 Spot in Trading Volume
Bybit’s introduction of the Retail Price Improvement (RPI) mechanism significantly boosted spot trading volume post-hack, reaffirming its dominance in retail liquidity. RPI orders, tailored specifically for retail clients, drove unparalleled liquidity in key trading pairs like BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT. From February 27 to March 3, Bybit achieved three times the liquidity of the market leader across the top 12 trading pairs.
Throughout this period, Bybit maintained full platform functionality, ensuring uninterrupted withdrawals, new token activities, and robust rewards programs. These strategic efforts not only reinforced user trust but also fueled Bybit’s resurgence, solidifying its position as the go-to exchange for traders worldwide.
New data from CoinGecko (April 1, 2025) confirms that Bybit has reclaimed its position as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume.
Business As Usual: New Token Activities, Innovation, and Rewards
Bybit’s ability to bounce back is driven by several factors, including favorable market conditions and a more constructive regulatory environment under the new U.S. administration. More importantly, Bybit has remained laser-focused on delivering a best-in-class user experience, offering continuous rewards, innovative product features, and seamless service.
Bybit introduced multiple new token listings, including WAL, PARTI, CORN, and NEAR, alongside exciting airdrop campaigns. Notably, the Bybit Web3 AI-DOL Superstar competition—the first Web3 idol competition—showcased the platform’s ability to drive engagement and innovation in decentralized finance.
The spectrum of new initiatives and rewards events demonstrated Bybit’s capability to fend off major crises and to generate post-crisis growth, as is reflected in the positive capital inflows in March.
“We do not let setbacks define us. Bybit remains committed to our users and the broader crypto community, ensuring continuous innovation and stability. Our capability to sustain operations and roll out new initiatives, even during challenging times, demonstrates our resilience, dedication to long-term growth, and the strong support we receive from the industry,” said Joan Han, Sales and Marketing Director of Bybit.
Bybit is also committed to long-term programs for trust-building, transparency and accountability. Users and stakeholders may keep up with Bybit’s regular Proof-of-Reserves updates and the Bybit-led initiative to combat the circulation of illicit funds in the crypto ecosystem, LazarusBounty. The platform is an ongoing project for individuals and groups within the cryptosphere to contribute to the fight against bad actors while receiving rewards and recognition, with over $2.2 million in bounties already awarded to verified contributors.

Dubai, UAE, March 28th, 2025, Chainwire
Crypto exchange Coincall has officially entered the Top 5 global crypto options exchanges by trading volume, marking a major milestone just 18 months after its founding. The achievement highlights the platform’s rapid growth in a sector that’s increasingly drawing both institutional and retail interest.
The surge in performance, according to internal data and third-party analytics, is linked to a successful Q1 strategy that included high-impact marketing campaigns and new product rollouts, in collaboration with notable crypto partners such as SignalPlus, DWF, and Big Candle Capital.
Crypto Options: From Niche Strategy to Core Market Structure
Once reserved for quants and hedge funds, options are now becoming a go-to instrument for crypto-native investors. These contracts give traders the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell assets at a set price — enabling sophisticated hedging, volatility plays, and directional speculation.
As the broader digital asset market matures, crypto options are increasingly viewed as a critical building block of the financial stack. That narrative hit the mainstream this month when reports emerged of Coinbase being in advanced talks to acquire Deribit, the market’s dominant BTC and ETH options venue, for a rumored $4–5 billion. Although negotiations have since tapered, the message from the market is clear: crypto derivatives are no longer a sideshow — they’re center stage.
Youngest in the Top 5 — and Fastest Rising
Coincall’s breakout is notable not just for its velocity, but for the company’s relative youth. Founded in late 2023, Coincall now ranks among the top exchanges in the space, with it currently 9-10% the size of Deribit.
According to data from Laevitas, Coincall captured an average market share of 5.43% between March 8 and 17, 2025, with a notable peak at 10.15% on March 15. The exchange also saw strong volume days with 9.78% share on March 8 and 6.64% on March 16 — signaling rising momentum and growing competitiveness in the global crypto options landscape.
Coincall’s comparative market share and growth trajectory make it the youngest exchange ever to break into the Top 5, and potentially one of the most viable candidates for acquisition or institutional partnership among rising players. As attention shifts from mature giants to agile challengers, Coincall has positioned itself at the center of that conversation, growing into almost the same market share as industry giant ByBit.
Leadership Backed by Vision
In January, Coincall appointed Daryl Teo — former strategist at Alibaba Group (NASDAQ: BABA) and a long-time investor in the crypto space — as Chief Operating Officer and minority shareholder. He joins CEO Jimmy’s team of executives previously from OKX, Paradigm and Bytedance.
“We’re witnessing crypto achieve consensus-level legitimacy as a store of value,” Teo said. “Options are the next wave — they provide leverage, flexibility, and strategy. Our mission at Coincall is simple: make investing quick, intuitive, and safe — for everyone.”
“Earn While You Trade” feature: Unlocking Yield + Capital Efficiency
Coincall’s latest innovation, Earn While You Trade (EWYT), is designed to eliminate the traditional tradeoff between yield farming and active trading.
With EWYT, users can:
- Earn up to 6.4% APR on USDT holdings
- Access 90% of staked funds as trading margin
- Withdraw funds at any time — no lock-ups
- Increased capital efficiency for active traders
The feature enables users to earn yield on idle capital without forgoing trading activity, offering an alternative approach to capital utilization.
Users can explore the product here.
Macro Momentum: Crypto Infrastructure Is Back
Coincall’s rise reflects broader tailwinds in crypto infrastructure. According to PitchBook, $11.5 billion in venture capital was invested into crypto and blockchain startups in 2024 across 2,153 deals — a strong rebound after the prior bear cycle.
“The next phase of crypto will be defined by real infrastructure,” said Teo. “The platforms building with intention, with capital efficiency and user accessibility in mind, will shape the decade ahead.”
About Coincall
Coincall is a next-generation cryptocurrency options exchange founded in 2023, focused on accessibility, capital efficiency, and a seamless trading experience. With deep liquidity, fast execution, and innovative features like Earn While You Trade, Coincall is building the future of digital asset derivatives.

74% of $NATO’s 1 trillion token supply was distributed in one of the largest airdrops ever — now trading live on Uniswap, AscendEX, and Poloniex
The Nation Token ($NATO), a decentralized token on the Base blockchain, has announced its official launch following a historic airdrop to one million active Base wallets. As of today, $NATO is trading live on Uniswap, Poloniex, and AscendEX.
In December 2024, 74% of the total 1 trillion $NATO supply — 740 billion tokens — was airdropped evenly to 1 million randomly selected Base wallets, with each wallet receiving 740,000 $NATO. This marks one of the largest and most distributed token airdrops in blockchain history. Uniswap liquidity has been locked until January 1, 2030, reinforcing the commitment to long-term decentralization. The contract address for $NATO on Base is: 0xd968196fa6977c4e58f2af5ac01c655ea8332d22
Why the Nation Token Was Created
$NATO was born out of a growing concern with the direction of many modern cryptocurrencies — specifically, the increasing trend toward centralization. From token allocations to liquidity control and governance influence, too many projects are dominated by a small group of insiders, leaving everyday holders with little to no say.
The Nation Token aims to break that pattern by creating a truly community-owned and community-governed asset, where every decision and milestone is driven by the people, aligning of its mantra of #PowerToThePeople. A governance platform is currently in final development to enable token holders to vote on proposals and roadmap decisions — completing one of the final pillars of $NATO’s decentralization framework.
Speaking about the recent listings of $NATO, Andrei Popescu, CMO said “This is a true experiment in decentralized financial empowerment, proving that the power of the people can shape the market like never before. Our goal is simple yet ground-breaking—to make $NATO the first token in history to reach high goals purely through collective effort.”
Momentum and Growth
Following its initial Uniswap listing (paired with WETH), $NATO saw growth in trading activity. In the two weeks following, both Poloniex and AscendEX listed $NATO (paired with USDT), resulting in a 10x increase in trading volume according to the team. Additional exchange listings are already in the pipeline.
To drive further awareness and participation, the team has launched a community growth campaign at https://taskon.xyz/TheNationToken
Participants can compete for a $1,000 USDC monthly prize pool, split among the top 50 leaderboard members, based on engagement and learning activities around the project. This gives a further incentive for both airdrop recipients, as well as new token holders to retain their tokens.
For more information about The Nation Token and its mission, users can visit https://thenationtoken.com, or follow the project on X at https://x.com/NatoTok3n or join the citizens on Telegram at https://t.me/TheNationToken
About $NATO – The Nation Token
The Nation Token is a decentralized community-owned token built on Base, that resulted from one of the biggest airdrops in the chain’s history, as 1 million wallets received a share of 740 billion tokens. The project focuses on fair distribution, transparency, and long-term community governance.

TokenFi has officially eliminated the 0.3% buy/sell tax on its native token, TOKEN, following a unanimous vote from the Floki DAO.
“The Floki DAO proposal to remove the 0.3% buy/sell tax on $TOKEN received 100% support from the community,” the project team announced. “In line with the decision of the Floki DAO, the buy/sell transaction tax on $TOKEN has been removed.”
The vote signals a clear consensus within the Floki and TokenFi communities that lowering friction in trading is essential to increasing accessibility and unlocking broader utility for the token.
The tax removal is already live across both Ethereum and BNB Chain networks.
The original proposal, published via Snapshot, received full backing, making this one of the rare DAO votes with absolute alignment.
With the buy/sell tax now set to 0%, TokenFi aims to drive further adoption by reducing barriers for both new and existing holders. The move could also help boost TOKEN’s liquidity across decentralized exchanges and improve market efficiency.
TokenFi, which is connected to the Floki ecosystem, is working to position TOKEN as a utility and governance asset across DeFi platforms. Removing transaction friction is one of several steps being taken to expand the token’s real-world use cases and trading appeal.

The Popular AI Trading Giant AlgosOne.ai Declines Massive Acquisition Bids before AiAO Coin Debut
NEW YORK, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Since the start of 2025 AlgosOne, a leading AI-driven trading platform has declined a series of acquisition bids from prominent hedge funds, leading cryptocurrency exchanges and AI technology firms based in China, Europe, and the United States. The offers have ranged between $250M and $500M. The AI sector is gearing up for major players trying to invest and purchase AI startups.
According to AlgosOne CMO, Alex Andera, the decision to reject these offers was based on the team’s complete confidence in the project’s potential and future market valuation. AlgosOne is strategically focused on launching its native AIAO token in Q2 2025. In addition to governance rights, AIAO holders will receive regular dividends, with AlgosOne becoming publicly owned by its token holders.
“We appreciate the recent recognition from major industry players,” said Andera. “But, with the upcoming AIAO token launch and our continued focus on AI trading innovation, we believe we can exceed these valuations.
Andera continued “Rather than a large conglomerate, we want our token holders to own the project, because our priority remains delivering long-term value to our community and investors.”
The AIAO token supply will be capped at 1 billion tokens. The high-profile firms that had sought to acquire AlgosOne have now expressed keen interest in participating in the upcoming sale, and receiving sizable token allocations, further validating the project’s massive market potential.
However, by staying independent, AlgosOne aims to ensure that its technology and ecosystem remain accessible to a global audience. AlgosOne’s leadership is dedicated to offering users and investors a unique opportunity to be part of the next step in the evolution of AI-based finance.
