🔥 When Is the Best Time to Sell Airdrops?
posted 23 Feb 2024
Most airdrop participants find themselves pondering, "When should I sell these tokens?" CoinGecko's analysis of the 50 biggest airdrops revealed that over half of the project tokens (54%) achieved their all-time high (ATH) within two weeks to several months after the airdrop.

This pattern primarily applies to tokens from widely recognized and foundational projects like Optimism (OP), Arbitrum (ARB), and Uniswap (UNI). In contrast, tokens from lesser-known or trendy projects (such as Blur, Anchor Protocol, Jito, etc.) tend to reach their ATH within the first fortnight or even days. However, a few (like ParaSwap, Cow Protocol) fail to exceed their initial market price.
In essence, tokens associated with large-scale, well-supported projects, such as prominent L2 blockchains or DEXs, are advised to be held for a minimum of two weeks. Conversely, tokens from more obscure, speculative, or NFT-centric projects might be best sold immediately or after a brief holding period of a few days.
