\n

Several recent token launches have seen dramatic drawdowns, bringing to token generation event (TGE) meta into question ahead a number of high profile airdrops.<\/p>\n

CAMP, the native token of an AI-focused layer 1 blockchain, is now down by 88% since it was introduced last month, while DoubleZero’s 2Z has lost 60% of its value in just eight days.<\/p>\n

There were also notable losses for Anoma’s XAN, down by 60% in a week. XPL, arguably one of the most hyped projects of the year, slumped below its TGE price on Friday amid a wave of negative sentiment around alleged founding team token sale, a claim the company’s founder refuted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The price action is a stark contrast to last year when projects like HYPE debuted at $6.00 and rose by 400% in the subsequent month.<\/p>\n

Why are new tokens failing to impress?<\/h2>\n

There are several catalysts behind the abject performance of newly-launched tokens; one of which is simply over-farming the hype pre-launch, this means that when a token eventually comes out, users are generally happy to get a return on their investment as opposed to doubling down. <\/p>\n

Another reason is tokenomics, XPL’s plight has been attributed to $813 million worth of “ecosystem and growth”<\/a> tokens that were allegedly sold via market makers, causing pressure on the price and outweighing retail investor demand.<\/p>\n

Airdrop season doomed to fail?<\/h2>\n

Over the coming months crypto users are due to receive airdrops from MetaMask, OpenSea and Monad. <\/p>\n

These projects are massive in their respective fields; MetaMask is the most commonly used crypto wallet used by millions, while OpenSea transitioned from being the largest non-fungible token (NFT) exchange to becoming an onchain trading platform, and Monad is a hyped layer 1 blockchain that will airdrop its token next wee<\/a>k.<\/p>\n

But if 2025’s new token performance is to repeat itself, these respective juggernauts might struggle to maintain a healthy level of demand that outweighs supply, especially in the case of a project like OpenSea where users who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees in 2021 are waiting for a slither back before presumably cashing out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
