Following the sharp decline in the Bitcoin (BTC) and other digital asset markets last Friday, the BNB Chain network announced the launch of a USD 45 million airdrop.
The initiative, according to an official statement, seeks to compensate users of its ecosystem, especially the memecoin trading community, one of the hardest hit by recent volatility.
This measure comes at a time of market turbulence. On Friday, there were massive liquidations and a sharp decline in the price of Bitcoin, which dragged down the rest of the digital assets.
Amid the situation, the USDe stablecoin lost its peg to the dollar on the Binance platform, creating uncertainty among traders.
The program, dubbed "Reload Airdrop," will distribute funds in the digital currency BNB to more than 160,000 addresses that traded memecoins over the past week.
The BNB Chain team notes that the final amount each user will receive will be random, and that distribution will begin this week, with an end date in early November 2025.
According to the release, the project is being carried out in collaboration with ecosystem partners such as PancakeSwap and Binance Wallet. The stated goal is to show appreciation for users who remained active despite adverse market conditions.
