DEX aggregator 1inch announces 300,000 OP token airdrop on Optimism network
Decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch has announced that it will conduct a 300,000 OP token airdrop to 1inch wallet users on the Optimism Network, which is an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution.
The OP tokens will be equally distributed between all wallets that have made swaps through the 1inch wallet on Optimism Network. However, wallets involved in a Sybil attack, where an attacker uses multiple wallet addresses for malicious activities, will not be included in the distribution.
The Airdrop is scheduled for September 1.
1inch expansion on Optimism
1inch became integrated on Optimism in August 2021 with the aim of reducing transaction fees and improving throughput for its users. Optimism has the potential of processing up to 2,000 transactions per second (TPS), which is far more than what Ethereum can handle.
1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz in a statement said:
“Optimism is one of the most efficient and popular L2 solutions. Since 1inch expanded to Optimism, we have seen substantial activity on that network, and this reward will come as an extra incentive for them to use 1inch on Optimism.”
According to 1inch, more than 45,000 wallets have used 1inch on Optimism with 28,600 performing most of their transactions on the Optimism network.
Optimism’s layer 2 Optimistic Rollup scaling solution leverages the security of Ethereum while reducing the latency and costs of transactions. It currently has a locked value of over $900 million and has seen a steady rise in transactions for the first half of the year.

Wave Financial acquires Swiss based Criptonite Asset Management
SEC regulated Waves Financial plans to use the acquisition to expand its reach across Europe and globally.
Wave Financial, a digital asset investment manager regulated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has acquired Geneva based crypto asset manager Criptonite Asset Management, according to a press release shared with CoinJournal.
Per the announcement, the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval. However, Los Angeles-based Wave Financial has taken a minority stake in Criptonite and expects to complete a full acquisition – the company’s first in Europe – by the end of the year.
The acquisition comes after an initial strategic partnership between the two companies in 2021.
Demand for managed digital asset funds
Criptonite is regulated by Swiss Financial Markets Supervisory Authority (FINMA) and its managed digital assets-focused products are targeted at institutional and accredited investors only.
Europe has seen this group of investors increasingly look for exposure to the crypto investment asset class, particularly around digital asset funds.
The demand has also seen multiple offerings, including crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs), hit the European market. On the growing list of providers are companies such as ETC Group, Fidelity International, Grayscale and Valour Inc.
By acquiring Criptonite, Wave is positioning itself towards curving a share of the market to provide its digital asset funds and products to qualified investors.
Matteo Dante Perruccio, President International at Wave Financial commented:
“We have seen unprecedented demand from institutional and other accredited investors for professionally managed digital asset funds in Europe. There seems to be a flight to quality taking place, so it makes sense to take our relationship with Criptonite to the next level.”
According to Perruccio, Wave Financial’s acquisition of the Swiss firm is its first outside the United States. However, the company plans to seal further partnerships and acquisitions across the globe to bring its diverse products and solutions to investors.
