Blur Token Drops 85% Shortly After NFT Marketplace Rasies $500M

NFT marketplace Blur saw its native BLUR token experience a sharp decline of over 84% from a high of $5 to $0.78. However, it happens after its airdrop distribution has gone live. The airdrop amount was determined by the total activity, network volume, and transactions made by each user on the platform.

BLUR announces Airdrop

Since the NFT marketplace went live about four months ago, it has signed up 146,823 different users who have traded NFTs worth $1.2 billion. Blur announced on February 14 that it would give away 360 million BLUR tokens to its early adopters.

Out of its total 3 billion supply, Blur revealed that 51% had been given to the community, 29% to core contributors, and 19% to investors. Around 360 million BLUR were unlocked from the community allocation for airdrop distribution to early adopters.

This meant that as many as 128,000 Blur tokens were distributed to some users. Additionally, the blockchain tool Etherscan reveals that users received anywhere between 25 and tens of thousands of BLUR.
