OKX Orbit Creator Earnings Program: A Complete Guide at 12 Points (Practical Tutorial) @OKX中文 @OKX成长学院 @OKX星球 @OKX Orbit #新手成长营 $BTC $ETH $OKB 1. Understand the Earnings Mechanism The OKX Orbit creator earnings adopt a fixed reward pool model, where the platform distributes earnings to all eligible creators weekly. Earnings are not calculated directly based on the number of posts but are scored based on content quality, user interaction quality, and the strength of fan relationships. In simple terms, the more professional the content and the more genuine the interactions, the higher the earnings. 2. Accounts Must Meet Basic Conditions To participate in earnings, the account must first complete real-name authentication and maintain a normal account status during the current settlement period, with no record of violations. As long as the rules are met, the system will automatically include the account in the weekly earnings settlement without additional registration. 3. Publish Valid Content at Least Weekly At least one piece of original content related to cryptocurrency must be published during each earnings cycle. This includes market analysis, market opinions, project research, on-chain data, trading reviews, etc. Content automatically synced from X (Twitter) to Orbit also counts as valid posts. 4. Content Must Remain Online Many people overlook this point. The official statement clearly indicates that at least one piece of content from the current cycle must still be online at the time of earnings distribution. If a post is deleted or hidden by the user, or taken down due to violations, that content will not be included in the earnings calculation. 5. Prioritize Posting About Hot Coins It is recommended to focus on posting about BTC, ETH, SOL, and recently popular Memes or new coins. Hot coins naturally attract traffic and are more likely to receive views and comments. For example, support and resistance analysis, short-term trend judgments, and evening market predictions are all high-interaction topics. 6. Posts Must Include Logic and Price Ranges Do not just write "bullish" or "bearish"; provide specific logic. For example: Focus on the $80,000 resistance level for BTC; if it breaks out with volume, continue to look for $81,500; if it drops below $79,200, pay attention to short-term risks. This increases professionalism and makes it easier to be recommended. 7. Make Good Use of Official Monetization Features The official tutorial mentions two efficient monetization methods: the first is to use $coin tags, such as $BTC, $ETH; the second is to share position cards, trading cards, and holding cards. This not only increases click-through rates but also makes it easier for users to engage. 8. Maintain a Consistent Update Frequency The core of earnings is not a single viral post but long-term continuous output. It is recommended to maintain 2-3 content updates daily, such as morning strategies, midday reviews, and evening opinions. Continuous updates can enhance fan loyalty and align better with the platform's scoring logic for "user connection strength." 9. Absolutely Prohibit Misleading Inducement Content Do not post content like "guaranteed profit," "must rise," "go all in," or "double your money"; do not organize users to pump or engage in volume manipulation. These actions may be deemed misleading content, market manipulation, or coordinated trading, resulting in limited reach or even disqualification from earnings. 10. Prohibit Volume Manipulation and Multi-Account Promotion The official content policy clearly prohibits the use of bots, multiple accounts, paid comments, or abnormal likes to artificially inflate interaction data. This includes repeatedly posting the same content, group-controlled comments, and mutual likes, all of which are considered violations and may lead to direct bans on earnings privileges in severe cases. 11. Remember the Earnings Settlement Time Creator earnings are settled weekly, and rewards are usually distributed directly to the funding account on the following Wednesday after the week ends. If the calculated earnings are less than 5 USDT, they will not be distributed. Therefore, do not only focus on the number of posts but also pay attention to interaction quality and content depth. 12. The Core is Long-Term Account Operation Those who truly earn steadily are not the ones who post dozens of times in a day but those who continuously output professional, compliant, and logical content over the long term. Treat the account as a long-term content operation account, continuously accumulating fans and improving interaction quality; earnings will gradually increase as weight improves.

Weekend major events summary! Whether you are currently fully invested or short, you must carefully watch this critical market phase ahead. 1. Overseas tech giants are surging again, with the semiconductor sector strengthening across the board. On Friday evening, the U.S. stock market experienced a significant rally, with NVIDIA's market value once again stabilizing above $5 trillion after half a year; Intel surged over 23% in a single day due to better-than-expected earnings, marking one of the rarest single-day increases in decades. Funds are flocking into the tech, AI, and semiconductor sectors, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both hitting new historical highs, signaling a strong momentum in the U.S. stock market. The situation in the Middle East has temporarily cooled, and market risk appetite has quickly rebounded, but this short-term optimism hides potential pitfalls. Regional conflicts are difficult to resolve completely, and the inflation risks brought by high oil prices are currently being ignored by the market. Essentially, the ongoing bull run in the U.S. stock market is fundamentally supported by excessive liquidity. A massive outflow of dollars has created a reservoir of funds, propping up the stock market bubble and superficial economic prosperity. Currently, institutional funds are generally cautious, with no one willing to actively short at high levels, meaning the market bubble will continue to phase out. 2. Global regulation takes action, and crypto assets face significant freezes. The U.S. OFAC has updated sanctions related to Iran, freezing $344 million worth of cryptocurrency assets in one go. In terms of scale, this amount is not huge, and it indirectly reflects that the U.S. direct pressure tactics on Iran are gradually being limited, with the space for negotiation continuously shrinking. In contrast, Iran has complete control over the negotiation pace, refusing direct dialogue with the U.S. and only accepting mediation from third parties to gain more negotiation leverage. By looking at international oil price trends, one can intuitively judge that the recent oil prices have been stagnant and without fluctuation, indicating that there has been no substantial progress in negotiations, with significant differences still remaining. 3. Overall market summary, with clear differentiation between domestic and foreign markets, highlighting future directions. Currently, the Middle East is only in a temporary ceasefire, and the core differences between both sides have not been resolved; the short-term easing is merely temporary. Future conflicts will gradually shift from direct military confrontation to a long-term war of attrition focused on financial blockades and resource competition. The capital market, however, selectively ignores geopolitical risks, with the U.S. stock market continuing to hit new highs despite negative news. In contrast, the A-share market's rebound is weak and insufficient, primarily due to differences in economic structure. We focus on the real manufacturing and industrial supply chain, where the input inflation caused by high oil prices will directly compress corporate profits; coupled with the recent strengthening of the RMB, this further drags down foreign trade exports, leading to significant pressure on economic recovery in the second quarter. In the medium to long term, there is no need to be overly pessimistic. After the short-term pain, as new productivity policies are implemented, the economic recovery momentum in the second half of the year will gradually improve. On the market level, the index is likely to oscillate and digest negative news at key positions, waiting for corporate earnings and economic data to improve. Only after confirming improvements in the fundamentals will a new round of upward market trends begin. $BTC

The cryptocurrency market is bleak today: liquidity for altcoins across the network has dried up, is the "graduation season" upon us? A deep analysis of the entire market for $BTC $ETH $SOL Today (around April 25, 2026), the overall crypto market is showing a sluggish trend, with Bitcoin's dominance maintaining above 59%-60%. Altcoins generally lack trading volume and depth, with many smaller coins experiencing quiet trading, even leading to the awkward situation of "having a price but no market." The total market capitalization hovers around $2.3-2.5 trillion, but the rotation of funds in the altcoin sector is weak, and the Altcoin Season Index has been below 40 for a long time, far from entering a true "altcoin season." This has led many holders to lament: altcoins seem to have collectively "graduated," with liquidity drying up, and both attention and funds flowing away. Here are 8 key analyses based on the overall market situation, analyst opinions, and on-chain data to help you understand the current situation: 1. Bitcoin's dominance is high, and funds are unwilling to flow out: BTC.D (Bitcoin dominance) recently broke 60%, with some opinions pointing to 66%. Institutions and smart money continue to prefer BTC and mainstream assets (like parts of ETH), making it difficult for altcoins to gain rotation opportunities. Historical data shows that only when BTC.D significantly falls below 55% can a broad altseason be initiated, and this signal has not yet appeared. The result is that altcoins lack new liquidity, making prices prone to fluctuations or slow declines. 2. Altcoin trading volume is thin, and order book depth is insufficient: Many mid to low market cap altcoins have spot and contract trading volumes at low levels, even approaching multi-year lows. A thin order book means that small trades can cause severe volatility, but overall there is a lack of sustained buying support. Market maker resources are prioritized for Tier-1 assets, and small coins have extremely weak "by-the-way" liquidity, making them susceptible to cliff-like drops or instant liquidity exhaustion under selling pressure. 3. 99% of altcoins face "graduation" risks, akin to the internet bubble: Noted analyst Michaël van de Poppe and others point out that in this cycle, 99% of altcoins may go to zero or remain permanently sluggish. This is not alarmist; it is a natural selection after market maturation—similar to the Dot-com bubble, where many projects lack real users, product-market fit, or sustained communities, and funds and attention will only concentrate on a few quality projects. Low liquidity further accelerates the elimination of the weak. 4. The overall network search and community feedback are consistent: stagnant waters, endless sideways movement: Discussions in the crypto community frequently mention "sunset industry," "losing attention, losing volatility, losing liquidity," and "a pool of dead water." The altcoin sector overall lacks new narrative drivers, VC investments are becoming cautious, and retail funds are in a strong wait-and-see mood. Some posts even mention liquidating positions to turn to U.S. stocks or gold, reflecting market disappointment in the short-term prospects of altcoins. 5. Institutionalization and ETF impact: Funds go directly to BTC, cutting off the "flow" to altcoins: Bitcoin ETFs and other institutional channels allow funds to efficiently enter BTC rather than spreading throughout the ecosystem. In past bull markets, new entrants would explore altcoins, but now many investors only hold BTC through traditional apps, leading to weak user growth for altcoins and further dilution of real circulating market value. 6. Historical comparison: Current altcoin sluggishness exceeds that of the FTX period: Data shows that about 38% of altcoins are close to historical lows, a higher proportion than the 37.8% after the FTX collapse. Global macro uncertainty, low global liquidity injection, coupled with an oversupply of tokens (far exceeding new capital), collectively suppress the rebound space for altcoins. Small-cap projects are particularly vulnerable, easily delisted by exchanges or falling into a situation of having a price but no market. 7. Weak liquidity rotation, with few sectors showing movement but difficult to sustain: Although there are sporadic reports of funds flowing from BTC/ETH to more volatile altcoins (such as certain Layer 2, AI, or DePIN-related), or specific coins increasing their trading volume share on Binance, the overall structure remains fragile. Altcoins need to break through key resistance and for BTC.D to fall to confirm the trend; otherwise, it is easy to become a "false breakout." Currently, more is small fluctuations in a consolidation phase rather than a comprehensive recovery. 8. Future outlook: survival of the fittest may breed new opportunities, but patience is needed: The low liquidity environment amplifies risks but also leaves space for truly innovative, practically applicable, or strong community projects. Analysts believe the market is evolving towards a "institution-led slow bull," with capital becoming more selective, preferring assets with good liquidity and solid fundamentals. In the short term, altcoins still face pressure, and in the medium to long term, attention should be paid to signals such as BTC.D falling and macro liquidity improvement. Investors are advised to focus on a few quality targets and avoid blindly chasing low liquidity small coins. In summary, today's market has indeed doused cold water on altcoin enthusiasts: liquidity exhaustion is not a short-term phenomenon but a comprehensive result of cycle maturation + oversupply + funding preferences. Holders need to remain rational, manage risks well, and focus on real projects rather than speculation. The crypto space always has cycles, and after the elimination race, stronger survivors often emerge—but the premise is to survive.

Pornhub abandons $USDT in favor of $USDC: Event details The world's largest adult content platform, Pornhub, has officially adjusted its creator revenue payment system, completely stopping the use of USDT as a payment option and switching entirely to the USDC stablecoin issued by Circle for creator earnings settlement. This significant adjustment in payment methods is primarily driven by the platform's need for upgraded payment compliance and fund reliability, and it is a typical business choice amid the global trend towards stablecoin compliance. 1. Core basis for adjustment and official logic According to leaked official email screenshots circulating within the platform, the switch in payment currency clearly states two core reasons: 1. Compliance priority: The official recognizes USDC as a compliant stablecoin that is fully accepted by mainstream global regulators and completely meets the EU's MiCA regulatory framework for crypto assets. The issuer, Circle, holds an EU Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, allowing compliant operations in the EU and 30 countries in the European Economic Area, thus avoiding regulatory risks associated with cross-border payments. 2. Upgraded payment reliability: USDC's reserve assets are audited monthly by Deloitte, with 95% of reserves in cash and short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, fully pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, and a transparent and efficient redemption mechanism. In contrast, USDT has long faced issues with reserve transparency and lack of offshore regulation, leading to historical disputes over redemption and compliance, making it difficult to meet the platform's payment security needs for global compliant operations. Currently, Pornhub's backend payment channels have been updated, with the USDT option completely removed, and creator earnings can only be settled and withdrawn in USDC. 2. Core compliance differences between USDC and USDT (adapting to Pornhub's global needs) 1. USDC: A benchmark compliant stablecoin • Regulatory qualifications: The issuer Circle is a compliant financial entity in the U.S. and has obtained full compliance certification under the EU's MiCA, as well as a payment license from the UK's FCA, making it one of the few stablecoins covering core regulatory markets in Europe and the U.S. • Reserve mechanism: Monthly publicly audited reserve reports, high asset liquidity, and full reserves that completely meet MiCA's stringent requirements for 60% of stablecoin reserves to be held in EU banks and full redemption rights. • Institutional recognition: It is the preferred stablecoin for global institutional payments and cross-border settlements, with increasing penetration in compliant payment and commercial cooperation scenarios. 2. USDT: Offshore attributes raise compliance risks • Regulatory void: The issuer Tether is registered in the British Virgin Islands and lacks EU MiCA compliance qualifications, having not obtained regulatory licenses from major economies, leading to long-term restrictions on its use by EU trading platforms and compliant financial institutions. • Reserve controversies: Historically, it has faced multiple accusations of lack of transparency in reserve assets and a high proportion of high-risk assets, failing to meet the stringent requirements for fund security and audit compliance in enterprise-level payments. • Market limitations: Since the MiCA came into effect, regions like the EU and Hong Kong have continued to phase out compliant scenarios for USDT, gradually eliminating its share in commercial payments and institutional settlements. 3. Deep industry trends behind the event 1. Global compliance driving business choices: With the implementation of the EU's MiCA, the U.S. GENIUS Act, and Hong Kong's stablecoin regulations, compliance in crypto payments has become an inevitable trend. Enterprise-level commercial platforms prioritize regulated and auditable stablecoins to avoid risks related to money laundering, redemption, and regulatory penalties. Pornhub's adjustment is a landmark case of this trend. 2. Accelerated differentiation in the stablecoin market: Previously, USDT held a 60% market share of stablecoins due to its first-mover advantage, while USDC accounted for about 24%. However, compliant scenarios are rapidly shifting towards USDC, with USDT losing share in commercial payments, cross-border settlements, and institutional collaborations, marking the stablecoin market's entry into a new phase of "compliance competition." 3. Compliance upgrades in crypto payments for the adult industry: Due to the sensitivity of content, the adult industry has long faced restrictions from traditional payment channels (Visa, Mastercard) and heavily relies on cryptocurrency settlements. This adjustment by Pornhub will accelerate similar platforms globally to follow suit, establishing a unified standard for compliant stablecoins in adult industry payments and further squeezing USDT's survival space in gray and sensitive commercial scenarios. 4. Scope of event impact • For creators: The switch to USDC for revenue settlement ensures compliance and transparency in withdrawals and transfers, avoiding risks associated with USDT redemption and compliance, but requires adaptation to USDC wallets and withdrawal channels. • For the stablecoin market: This further strengthens USDC's position as a compliance leader, accelerating the marginalization of USDT in commercial payment scenarios and pushing the global stablecoin market share towards compliant targets. • For industry regulation: This provides a model for the compliance of crypto payments in sensitive global industries and cross-border commercial scenarios, with more platforms likely to follow suit and prioritize the use of MiCA-compliant stablecoins for business settlements.

Analysis behind the 88%-95% plunge of $RAVE (RaveDAO native token) in 24 hours RAVE is the governance/utility token of the RaveDAO project (which focuses on EDM music culture + Web3 party protocols), supporting on-chain ticketing, event governance, staking rewards, etc., claiming to be linked to the revenue of real-world concerts/rave events, and has held events in Dubai, Asia, and other locations. The total supply is 1 billion tokens, with an early circulation of only about 25%, which set the stage for subsequent manipulation. 1. Surge phase: 6000%-11000% in 11 days/1 month • Starting price around $0.20-$0.25, peaked at $27.88 (ATH), briefly entering the top 50-100 in cryptocurrency market cap. • Fully diluted valuation (FDV) once broke $16 billion, while the circulating market cap was over 4 times that, a typical low circulation high control structure. • Driving factors: project narrative (music Web3 + real events), exchange listings (Binance, Bitget, Gate, etc.), leverage funding rates + short squeeze, attracting a large number of retail investors FOMO chasing highs. • On-chain data shows that there were suspicious large transfers earlier: wallets associated with the project deployer transferred tens of millions of RAVE to centralized exchanges before the surge, preparing for subsequent selling. This wave of increase was not organic growth, but a highly concentrated chip + low liquidity + leverage amplified "whale script". 2. Plunge trigger: ZachXBT publicly ignites On April 18, 2026, well-known on-chain detective ZachXBT posted on X pointing out: • Insiders (team/associates) control over 90% of the supply, mainly concentrated in 3 wallets. • The source of the pump-and-dump operation is suspected to come from Binance, Bitget, and Gate exchanges. • Called for an internal investigation by Binance co-founder He Yi and Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, and to delist related parties. • Personally offered a $25,000 reward for solid evidence (initially $10,000). Bitget CEO Gracy Chen quickly responded that "an investigation has been initiated," and Binance also intervened (Richard Teng had previously stated). Once the news broke, the market collapsed instantly. 3. Core reasons for the plunge: extreme concentration of chips + liquidity trap • Control level: suspected whale addresses hold a massive amount of chips (early reports indicated that a certain address held 750 million tokens, with a concentration of 75%-90%). Low circulation → a small amount of selling pressure can crash the price. • Timing of selling: Before ZachXBT's exposure, some associated wallets had already piled up goods on exchanges; after exposure, they directly sold off in large quantities, retail investors took the hit. • Leverage chain reaction: Over $43.71 million in liquidations across the network in 24 hours (ranking among the top in the network), mainly from long liquidations. The price plummeted from over $25 to around $2.5, then further collapsed to $1.1-$1.4 (currently around $1.24, with a 24h drop of 94%-95%). • Abnormal trading volume: 24-hour trading volume surged to $400-$700 million, but buy orders evaporated instantly, liquidity dried up, forming a "waterfall" decline. • The project party later responded that "selling tokens was for marketing purposes," but this was seen by the market as shifting blame, further exacerbating panic. Market cap instantly evaporated by $6-6.3 billion, dropping from a peak of over $6 billion to around $300 million. 4. Exchange and regulatory aspects • Binance and Bitget have officially launched investigations, focusing on "insider control + early transfers" behavior. • This is not an isolated case: similar SIREN tokens were also named by ZachXBT for controlling over 50%, exposing some exchanges' risk control loopholes for low circulation new coins. • No official penalties have been issued yet, but ZachXBT's exposure + exchange statements have been enough to trigger panic selling across the market. 5. Market insights (why did it "explode" so severely?) 1 Low circulation + high concentration = manipulation paradise: circulation only accounts for 24%-25%, whales can pump or dump at will, retail investors have no ability to resist. 2 Narrative vs reality: the project has "real events" packaging, but the token economic model (early unlocking pressure + team control) has been a ticking time bomb from the start. 3 Leverage is an amplifier: funding rates + perpetual contracts lead to mutual slaughter between longs and shorts, ultimately retail investors get hit from both sides. 4 Information asymmetry: ordinary investors cannot see large on-chain transfers and wallet associations, only professional detectives like ZachXBT can provide early warnings. 5 Typical "meme coin" cycle: surge → exposure → trust collapse → liquidity zero → zero-style decline. Current situation (as of April 19, 2026): price fluctuating in the $1.1-$1.4 range, panic sentiment still strong. Whether the project party will further clarify or take remedial measures remains to be seen. However, from the on-chain chip distribution, the remaining large holders' selling pressure still exists, making subsequent rebounds extremely difficult. Risk reminder: such low circulation new coins (especially in the music/NFT/cultural track) have great short-term profit temptations, but over 90% of retail investors ultimately become "bag holders." DYOR + strict risk control, never put all your funds on a single meme coin. The crypto market will never lack the next RAVE, but each time reminds us: transparency and decentralization are the keys to long-term survival. Data sources: CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, ZachXBT public posts, Bitget/Binance responses, and on-chain analysis. Prices fluctuate in real-time, the above is just a recap of events, not investment advice.
