Friend.tech’s new Friend token faced market turmoil after its airdrop, dropping from over $10 to $1, then stabilizing around $1.4 due to operational issues.
Market volatility greeted the introduction of the Friend token by Friend.tech, a Web3 social media platform, as its price plummeted substantially following its airdrop event. The token was initially introduced with a valuation exceeding $10.
However, it experienced a decline in value to $1 before a marginal recovery to $1.4. The abrupt depreciation occurred due to multiple operational complications during the airdrop procedure.Â
Numerous technical issues were documented throughout the airdrop, causing considerable disruption for multiple users who were unable to retrieve their tokens without difficulty.
A cryptocurrency investor, Luke Martin, expressed his displeasure on the social media platform X, stating that the airdrop’s value unexpectedly declined while he claimed it. The token’s price volatility manifests the general discontent among token holders and potential investors that this circumstance has contributed to.
Moreover, market participants cited the token’s initial lack of liquidity as a factor contributing to its price volatility; its price peaked at $169 before falling. However, the token’s initial lack of liquidity was remedied by increasing the amount in the liquidity pool to more than $4 million.
After substantial market value depreciation, this action was implemented, adversely impacting investor sentiment.
Version 2 of Friend.tech’s Friend token was anticipated to mark a significant turning point for the decentralized platform. Its introduction was expected to seal the deal—this new iteration incorporated functionalities including “Clubs,” essential components of Version 2.
Friend token transactions incur a nominal 1.5% fee allocated to liquidity providers. Nonetheless, user concerns and a precipitous decline in token value during the airdrop derailed the launch.
According to market analysts, the precipitous decline in value was attributable to technical difficulties that arose during the airdrop and an initial lack of liquidity.
As a result of these conditions, the token market was exceptionally susceptible to price fluctuations brought about by large sale orders. The liquidity approach of the platform exacerbated the situation due to its heavy reliance on user contributions; as a result, the investors became dissatisfied.
