If the reward pool is not fully distributed, the points threshold will automatically decrease by 5 points every 5 minutes. Completing the claim will consume 15 Alpha Points, and users must confirm on the Alpha Events page within 24 hours, otherwise they will be considered to have forfeited their airdrop eligibility.



BitGo’s move creates further competition in a burgeoning European crypto market that is expected to generate $26 billion revenue this year, according to one estimate. BitGo, a digital asset infrastructure company with more than $100 billion in assets under custody, has received an extension of its license from Germany’s Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin), enabling it to offer crypto services to European investors.
