According to Miles Deutscher, the $PUMP token airdrop is strategically planned to occur weeks or months after its Initial Coin Offering (ICO). This approach is designed to prevent massive sell pressure that would likely occur if both ICO and airdrop supplies were released simultaneously. Deutscher suggests that delaying the airdrop incentivizes speculative platform usage from users aiming to qualify before the snapshot, potentially using a laddered model similar to the strategies employed by $HYPE and $JUP to reward sustained activity.

According to Ai 姨 (@ai_9684xtpa), Binance Alpha has implemented a Dutch auction-style mechanism for airdrop distribution, as seen with today's DEGEN airdrop. Users who score above the 245-point threshold have first access to claim. If uptake is low, the score requirement may be lowered once, allowing more participants to join (source: Twitter/@ai_9684xtpa, June 14, 2025). This new process introduces a game-theory element and could create volatility in DEGEN trading, as supply dynamics shift with each threshold adjustment. Traders should monitor claim rates and threshold updates to anticipate potential price movements.

According to @bolsaverse, holders of the $BKCR token were rewarded with an airdrop of $SCOOP, highlighting the effectiveness of strategic token holding in crypto portfolios. This event underscores the importance of tracking airdrop opportunities as a part of trading strategies. @bl0ckcreeper has been cited as the source of this update, indicating active engagement in rewarding token holders.
