DeFiRace Archive: Crypto Airdrops, Exchange Reviews, and Market Insights from November 2025
When you’re trying to navigate DeFi, decentralized finance systems that let you lend, trade, and earn without banks. Also known as open finance, it’s where real money moves—sometimes fast, sometimes foolishly. November 2025 was a month of sharp contrasts: tokens with zero volume pretending to be projects, exchanges getting hacked, and airdrops that never happened. This archive pulls back the curtain on what actually mattered—and what was pure noise.
At the center of this month’s chaos were crypto airdrops, free token distributions meant to build communities, but often used to lure in unsuspecting users. You’ll find deep dives into the RACA airdrop tied to Metamon, the fake BABYDB scam that pretended to be Baby Doge, and the dead SPWN and PWAR drops that vanished after 2021. Meanwhile, crypto exchanges, platforms where people buy, sell, and trade digital assets. faced scrutiny: Hyperliquid got hacked for $700K, StormGain vanished overnight, and OTCBTC remained too small and opaque to trust. Even big names like Bybit and FlairDex had hidden flaws—high fees in disguise, tokens that couldn’t be traded, or governance that looked good on paper but didn’t work in practice.
It wasn’t all doom. You’ll also find clear explanations of real tech like rollup technology, Layer-2 solutions that make blockchains faster and cheaper by processing transactions off-chain. and liquid staking, a way to earn staking rewards while still using your crypto in DeFi protocols. These aren’t hype—they’re tools that actually improve how money moves on blockchain. And if you’re wondering how Iran bypassed sanctions or how Nigeria’s P2P market exploded, this archive has the unfiltered stories behind them.
Every post here is a lesson: don’t chase zero-volume tokens, verify every airdrop, and never trust an exchange that won’t show its books. Whether you’re looking to avoid scams, find real DeFi yield, or just understand what’s going on in crypto this month, what’s below isn’t just a list—it’s a survival guide.
