On Wednesdays trading, the value of OMNI, The Omni Network’s native token, took a substantial hit and plummeted approximately 55% from its previous price of $53.80, reaching roughly $24 on major cryptocurrency exchanges.
On April 17, Omni Network, a blockchain project that intends to merge Ethereum rollups, distributed 3 million OMNI tokens, equating to 3% of its total 100 million token inventory, among community members as part of an airdrop. Simultaneously, the OMNI tokens became available for trading on exchanges such as Binance, ByBit, and Bitget, with opening prices around $53.81.
Instead of what was anticipated for a surge in value for OMNI, similar to ENA and EtherFi, its value experienced a significant drop. It’s possible that investors chose to sell their airdropped tokens to obtain cash, leading to the sharp decline. The token’s trading volume peaked at around $580 million.
In the broader cryptocurrency market downturn possibly fueled by geopolitical anxieties over a potential conflict between Iran and Israel, OMNI token values plummeted by 55% on Wednesday following its listing on significant crypto exchanges like Parcl (PRCL) on Solana and Wormhole’s X token. Since their launch, these exchanges have experienced a substantial loss of approximately $1.5 billion in market capitalization.
In times of crypto market instability, the reaction to the OMNI airdrop illustrates how investors’ emotions can influence new tokens. As one observer on X put it, “Given the financial hardships people are experiencing, they promptly sell any airdrops they obtain to secure cash in this anxious market.”
