<p>Wormhole previously shared the details of the airdrop, with the cross-chain protocol announcing that over 400,000 wallets were eligible for the claim. In its statement, the protocol will share over 617.3 million tokens, which will be shared with users across several chains, including Solana, Ethereum, and its various crypto communities.</p>
<p>In its <a href="https://twitter.com/wormhole/status/1773410190118768807" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">statement</a> on X (formerly known as Twitter), Wormhole stated that the claim will go live on April 3 at 11:30 am UTC, declaring the day ‘Wormhole Wednesday’. Also, it is looking likely that users will be able to trade the tokens immediately, with several crypto exchanges already signifying their interest in listing the token for trading after the airdrop claim goes live.</p>

<p>The exchanges that will list the token include Bitget, BackPack, and Gate.io, with more platforms likely to signal their interest in listing the token in the coming days. Given the magnitude of the airdrop and the popularity of Wormhole, the token is expected to become one of the biggest token launches in recent times.</p>
<p>The token is going live as a traditional Solana SPL20 token, with a possible expansion to Ethereum’s ERC20, representing the cross-chain nature of the platform. W is currently pegged at around $1.65 in the pre-market trading on Whales Market, with the protocol noting that about 1.8 billion tokens will be in circulation when the launch happens.</p>
<p>The total amount of tokens in supply is capped at 10 billion. If the token maintains the same price until launch, it will have a market cap of about $3 billion. According to data from CoinGecko, it will make the token the 50th-largest asset in the <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/weekly-crypto-price-analysis/" data-type="post" data-id="462035" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto</a> market as of writing.</p>
