Lookonchain broke the news today, hinting at an impending airdrop craze for MEME. The reported figures are staggering, with 2.35 billion MEME tokens requested. This move translates to approximately $52.4 million, accounting for 13.6% of the supply.

Implications of the Demand Surge

This massive influx of MEME requests could signal an impending sale wave. Moreover, Binance rewards those staking BNB, USDT, and FUSD with MEME tokens, indicating ongoing distribution.

Consequently, the swift action by whales to sell could significantly impact MEME’s price, potentially leading to a market dip. Significantly, MEME’s market value has just surpassed the $1 billion mark.
