20th APS Crypto Archive: November 2024 Airdrops, Exchanges, and Token Listings

When you’re tracking crypto airdrops, free token distributions from blockchain projects to attract users and build communities. Also known as token giveaways, they’re one of the most direct ways beginners can get into crypto without spending money. In November 2024, the 20th APS team verified over a dozen active airdrops—some tied to new Layer 2 networks, others from under-the-radar DeFi protocols. These weren’t just hype-driven campaigns. Each one had clear eligibility rules, active development teams, and public blockchain activity you could check yourself.

token listings, the moment a new cryptocurrency gets added to a major exchange. Also known as exchange listings, they often trigger price spikes and trading volume surges. November saw a wave of new listings on exchanges like Bybit, KuCoin, and MEXC, mostly from projects focused on real-world utility—not just memes. You’ll find breakdowns here on which tokens actually had trading volume after launch, and which ones faded fast. We also tracked which exchanges moved fastest to list new coins, helping you know where to watch next.

crypto exchanges, platforms where you buy, sell, or trade digital assets. Also known as crypto trading platforms, they’re the gateway for most people entering the market. In November, we compared fee structures, withdrawal speeds, and security features across 15 platforms. Some had better support for non-US users. Others offered lower fees for high-volume traders. We didn’t just list them—we showed you who actually delivered on promises.

Underneath all of this was a quiet but growing focus on blockchain basics, fundamental concepts like wallets, private keys, and gas fees that every user needs to understand. Also known as crypto fundamentals, they’re what keep you safe when things get noisy. November’s guides walked you through how to check if a wallet is legit, how to spot a fake airdrop site, and why you should never share your recovery phrase—even if someone claims to be from support. These aren’t advanced topics. They’re survival skills.

And then there’s the noise: crypto market insights, clear, data-backed observations about trends, investor behavior, and price movements. Also known as market analysis, they cut through the social media hype. We didn’t predict prices. We showed you who was actually buying, which chains had rising activity, and what projects had real social momentum—not just paid influencers. If you saw a coin trending, we told you why it mattered—or why it didn’t.

What you’ll find below isn’t a random list of posts. It’s a snapshot of what actually moved in crypto during November 2024: real airdrops you could still join, exchanges that worked as promised, tokens that launched with substance, and the basics you can’t afford to skip. No fluff. No guesswork. Just what you needed to know, when you needed it.
