Recently Launched Altcoin Nosedives After Major Airdrop
A recently launched altcoin has struggled to maintain price stability following its highly anticipated airdrop, with 75% of the 125 million distributed tokens already claimed.
Magic Eden (ME), the project behind the token, saw a surge of activity within the first hour, during which over 60 million tokens were claimed . The remaining 25% are expected to be gradually claimed in the coming days, likely minimizing the risk of sudden sell-offs that could heavily impact the token’s value.
Wallet data reveals that nearly 80% of claimants have sold their entire allocation, using the airdrop as an opportunity for short-term liquidity. Of the 133,888 wallets that participated, only 8.3% have chosen to retain all their tokens, and less than 1% of participants opted to buy more ME after the airdrop. This highlights limited enthusiasm for the token as a long-term investment.
Currently, ME’s price hovers near critical support levels. A breach below $4 could spark further declines, while holding above this level might signal a potential recovery. Resistance at $4.69 and $5.10 remains a challenge, and overcoming these barriers will be crucial for any upward momentum.
