Omni Network, a blockchain platform aiming to integrate Ethereum rollups,<a href="https://news.omni.network/the-omni-genesis-airdrop/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="external"> conducted</a> an airdrop of 3 million OMNI tokens, representing 3% of its 100 million token supply, to community contributors on April 17. The airdrop coincided with OMNI’s listing on exchanges like Binance, ByBit, and Bitget, with initial trading starting around $53.81. 
Contrary to expectations for a spike like ENA and EtherFi, OMNI’s value dropped sharply. Investors may have sold the airdropped tokens to collect liquidity, contributing to the steep decline. The token’s trading volume reached approximately $830 million.

As the crypto market faces volatility, the response to the OMNI airdrop underscores how investor sentiment can affect new tokens. A commentator on X explained, “People have been struggling financially, so they quickly sell any airdrops they receive to access cash in this fear-driven market.”
