With the launch of the Midnight network and its native token NIGHT in the Cardano ecosystem, there was a discussion in the community about whether it would replace ADA. In response, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson clarified that this understanding is a misconception. The goal of NIGHT is not to replace ADA, but to serve as an important component of Cardano's privacy network, expanding the application boundaries of the entire ecosystem without compromising ADA's core value. Midnight is a privacy and compliance extension layer within the Cardano system, focusing on privacy smart contracts, selective disclosure, and data protection that meets regulatory requirements. This direction has attracted market attention and also raised concerns among some investors about value transfer. Hoskinson emphasized that the existence of NIGHT is to enhance Cardano's overall capabilities, not to divert or weaken ADA's position.

The debate over whether airdropped tokens should be held long-term or sold as soon as possible has once again become the focus of the crypto market. A recent on-chain and market data analysis shows that most airdropped tokens perform far below expectations after issuance, with rapid price declines becoming the norm. This has led to the view that "cash out immediately" is increasingly seen as a more rational strategy. Crypto trader Didi shared his airdrop records over the past year on the X platform, with quite a harsh result: out of 30 received airdrops, only 1 token is currently trading above its issuance price (TGE). Among them, M3M3 has dropped 99.64%, Elixir 99.50%, USUAL 97.67%; even well-known projects like Magic Eden have fallen 96.6%, Jupiter 75.9%, and Monad over 39%. The only token with a positive return is Avantis, which has increased by 30.4%.

BlockBeats news, on December 24, Jake Chervinsky, Chief Legal Officer of the crypto asset venture capital firm Variant Fund, stated on social media, "The debate regarding Tokens and equity has only just begun. Many crypto projects were born during the era of former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, when strong regulatory pressure forced development companies to channel almost all value towards equity rather than Tokens.
