CoinGecko details the largest crypto airdrops of all time

CoinGecko’s latest report reveals that the leading 50 crypto airdrops have dispensed tokens valued at $26.6 billion from 2020 to 2023.

According to the Dec. 21 post on X, Uniswap (UNI) holds the record for the largest crypto airdrop, distributing $6.43 billion of UNI on Sept. 16, 2020, at its all-time high (ATH) token price of $42.88.

This was followed by Apecoin (APE), which distributed $3.54 billion worth of APE on Mar. 17, 2022, at its ATH token price of $23.63. Notably, Apecoin’s airdrop specifically rewarded Yuga Labs ecosystem owners with a generous allocation of up to 10,950 tokens, valued at $258,737. 

Meanwhile, dYdX (DYDX) secured the third position in the crypto airdrop rankings, distributing $2 billion worth of DYDX on Sept. 8, 2021, at its ATH token price of $26.80. It’s worth noting that the complete value of the DYDX airdrop is subject to a prolonged vesting period spanning five years, with portions released incrementally.

Together, the report concludes that the airdrops from Uniswap, Apecoin, and dYdX contribute significantly to the cumulative value, amounting to $11.99 billion and comprising 45.1% of the top 50 biggest crypto airdrops—the remaining airdrops among the top 50 range to $1.97 billion.

Two weeks earlier, the Solana-based liquid staking protocol Jito initiated a highly anticipated airdrop, dispersing 90 million JTO governance tokens among its user base in what is said to be a model after Uniswap. 

This noteworthy airdrop event stands out against a broader trend in the crypto space. A recent report reveals a decline in major crypto airdrops during 2022 and 2023, with only 14 and 13 airdrops securing positions in the top 50 rankings.

Bitcoin 5-Week Bullish Streak Falters; Can CPI Data Perform Wonders?

Bitcoin saw a notable five-week surge, lifting its value by nearly 40%, only to face a bearish downturn and consolidate around $36k. The excitement surrounding a potential spot ETF diminishes as Bitcoin fails to surpass $37k. Investors now focus on the upcoming CPI data release as a crucial market influencer. Following a robust five-week ascent, propelling its value by nearly 40%, Bitcoin (BTC) has encountered a period of consolidation in the $37,000 range. The digital asset appears unable to sustain the bullish rally, with its price now around $36,000 after largely bearish trading in the past 24 hours. With the excitement surrounding the potential approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF dwindling, investors may shift their focus to Tuesday’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) as a potential catalyst for renewed bullish momentum. Specifically, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is expected to release the CPI data today at 08:00 a.m. local time. Financial experts an
