Despite reaching their all-time high 100 days after the airdrop, these four tokens provided high returns. For example, Uniswap’s UNI token had an ATH return of 1,145%, which is 106 times the highest price return in the first 14 days of trading.

In early 2022, there was a bull market for NFTs, helping 11 airdrop tokens achieve new ATH valuations. The report claimed that 21 airdrop tokens set new all-time highs in 2023 and 2024 due to the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States.

Furthermore, the report added that some airdrops have provided higher returns in the long run. Jito’s peak price on day two of the airdrop launch provided a 43% return, while Optimism’s OP token reached its peak one year and six months later, providing an 186% return.
