VICTORIA, Seychelles, April 22, 2025 /CNW/ — A report released by MEXC, a leading global crypto exchange, indicates that airdrop campaigns account for approximately one-third of new user registrations during peak months. The numbers showcase the effectiveness of airdrops as a marketing instrument that crypto projects can leverage to attract new audiences and bootstrap engagement. The report also highlights the importance of ongoing structural shifts taking place in the industry across regions, as well as user motivation swings.

Key Takeaways:

Peak user acquisition rates driven by airdrops reach up to 35% in certain months.User behavior is influencing airdrop campaign participation through deeper mobile penetration and the involvement of gamification mechanisms.76% of users who sign up via airdrop campaigns remain on the platform, with 18% becoming active traders and 58% trading occasionally.The CIS region leads in terms of involvement at 67%, followed by Southeast Asia at 51%, and South Asia at 32%.Airdrops are evolving into a means of financial inclusion, in addition to acting as an effective marketing instrument.

MEXC analyzed user behavior during airdrop campaigns and identified a significant shift in the audience. While regions with low levels of access to banking services previously served as the main source of airdrop participants, the latest report indicates that new channels of user onboarding are ousting the trend. Gamification and Tap-to-Earn games in mobile-based Telegram channels are taking center stage as key registration sources for users with no previous experience in crypto. For instance, games like Hamster Kombat attracted over 70 million users, other notable examples of similar grade being Notcoin and Yescoin.

According to the data compiled as a result of the research, users who received their first airdrop tokens demonstrated varying degrees of continued involvement in the crypto industry. As many as 18% maintained active trading patterns and delved deeper into crypto services, 58% traded occasionally, while 24% were one-off users, withdrawing their funds without further engagement in trading. The users who evolve into active traders showcase an average daily trading volume above $58,000, with select ones achieving $31 million.

Regional segmentation of the users attracted via airdrops shows that the CIS is in a leading position, with 67% of the total, followed by Southeast Asia at 51%, and South Asia with 32%. The results of the analysis correlate with low levels of access to banking services in the given regions. They also align with data provided by Chainalysis, which positioned India, Vietnam, and the Philippines as the countries in Asia with the highest rates of crypto adoption, driven by low levels of banking services access and rapid spread of internet coverage in rural areas.

The limited financial inclusion of the countries in the indicated regions into the international banking system paves the way for cryptocurrencies to act as alternative means of payment both abroad and within domestic economies. Users participating in airdrops either withdraw them to fiat or use them for their needs. Pakistan and the Philippines are leading in this regard.

The report released by MEXC highlights the prominent role airdrops are occupying in the evolving crypto landscape, transforming from a marketing action into a separate instrument for user engagement. The ability to attract 35% new user registrations via airdrops in select regions like the CIS and Asia is a powerful factor acting in favor of using the given approach to expanding the crypto industry and advancing its maturity.

About MEXC

Founded in 2018, MEXC is committed to being “Your Easiest Way to Crypto.” Serving over 36 million users across 170+ countries, MEXC is known for its broad selection of trending tokens, everyday airdrop opportunities, and low trading fees.

Groundbreaking Platform Streamlines Real Estate, Mortgage, and other Home Related Services

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Finaya is proud to announce the launch of its Agentic AI platform for homeownership, built from the ground up with AI at its foundation. Unlike other AI experiences in real estate, mortgage, and related sectors, Finaya’s platform raises the bar in fundamental ways:

Finaya has been architected to span real estate, mortgage, title, insurance, repairs, remodeling and more from the outset. This means Finaya has secure, compliant data sharing and integrations to enable seamless experiences across this spectrum. This is in stark contrast to other approaches attempting to stitch together legacy tech stack silos after they have already been deployed.Finaya has been designed with Agentic AI at the heart of the customer experience. This means that customers, and soon agents, can take any path on their holistic customer journey to accomplish their tasks, rather than follow set workflows in set silos. Finaya AI can also enable executing tasks, such as scheduling a home tour, completing a loan application, and negotiating with home repair service providers.Finaya’s Agentic AI is built on a powerful platform that can leverage multiple Large Language Models for different needs, and dynamically assimilate new data sources for greater intelligence. It can also create new AI experiences for consumers, real estate agents, loan officers, and contractors on the fly. This ensures that Finaya’s AI capabilities are continually advancing.Finaya’s Agentic AI platform is open to all. Real estate agents, loan officers, and other service providers can sign up for free, connect directly with customers coming through the platform, as well as add the Finaya marketplace on their websites to offer complementary services with ease. Larger enterprises can also license Finaya’s Agentic AI platform and customize it for their specific needs.

“Finaya’s platform was created with customer-centricity and customer empathy at its core”, said Naren Nath, CEO & Co-founder of Finaya. “By unleashing the power of Agentic AI natively, we are enabling transformative experiences and efficiencies for consumers, agents and service providers.”

Today, consumers assume the burden of a range of tasks. They evaluate and select a real estate agent from a long list of choices. They must navigate the lending process with its dizzying array of choices and terms. Consumers may go through much of the purchase process before knowing what size of mortgage they qualify for. Then they have to go back to the agent, find a home, make an offer, and negotiate. That is followed by the mortgage underwriting and closing process, often entailing surprise documentation needs, unexpected delays, maybe even denials.

After their home is purchased, the home owner must find service providers for insurance, repairs, and remodeling. These tasks require the home owner to provide similar information to multiple providers again and again. Taking out a home equity loan, refinancing, and selling the home also require starting over with fresh documentation.

With Finaya, these steps are combined into a single, seamless, easy to use personalized experience. For example, not only can Finaya’s platform provide responses to simple AI queries like “find me a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,000 square foot house in Seattle under $1M“, but also more complex queries such as “find me a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2,000 square foot home in Seattle that will appreciate well and I can afford with my salary of $15K per month in a 90th percentile school district”. Customers can then select the home they would like to see and say “schedule a tour for this home”, or “I want to tour this home now”. Once they like a home, they can say “find me the best loan I can get for this house”, or “get me prequalified” or “start my loan application”.

About Finaya:
Finaya is dedicated to delivering simplified, transparent, and personalized homeownership solutions for individuals and families. Our suite of AI-powered tools help users navigate their real estate, mortgage and other home related journeys with ease. Finaya also leverages Agentic AI to simplify and reduce friction for real estate agents, loan officers and service providers. Finaya brings them qualified customers when they are ready to transact, completes pre-screenings for them, automatically sends personalized messages to customers, and provides previously collected data to avoid redundant data and document requests.
