How Airdrop Farming Affects Token Price After TGE
Most traders misunderstand why some tokens dump after launch — and others don’t.
Post-airdrop price depends on 3 things:
1️⃣ Airdrop % vs total supply
2️⃣ Who receives the tokens (farmers vs real users)
3️⃣ Liquidity depth at launch
Strong launches look like this:
Small airdrop %
Broad wallet distribution
Lockups or vesting for insiders
Gradual liquidity onboarding
Weak launches look like this:
Huge airdrop
Same wallets farming dozens of protocols
Thin liquidity
No utility at TGE
Smart money waits after the first airdrop dump, then accumulates when selling pressure disappears.
Airdrops create volatility — structure decides direction.
