Research Brief
Research Brief · 17 May 2026
Through research on the following hot topics: Telegram mini-apps like Tomarket and Trump Empire are pushing airdrops and farming pools, while a large Trump token transfer and election memes dominate political chatter. Hong Kong news and Asia updates also appear but get less traction.
My take: These crypto projects are using gamified rewards to keep users hooked, but the Trump token movement hints at big money positioning ahead of the election. It feels like hype is outweighing substance.
I predict more integration of political figures into crypto games, with airdrops becoming the main user acquisition tool. Public sentiment is excited but skeptical, with many laughing at Trump memes while chasing quick profits.
