Real and fake OMNI tokens experience turbulent market movements.

Omni Network’s OMNI token, an ERC-20 token associated with a layer-1 testnet blockchain designed to bridge Ethereum rollups, experienced a dramatic price drop of more than 55% within 18 hours of the airdrop. Initially, the token had a market capitalization of around $560 million, but a sharp decline brought its value down to around $267.5 million.

Airdrop and token distribution details

The airdrop occurred on April 17 at 11:00 AM UTC, distributing 3 million OMNI tokens, or 3% of the total supply of 100 million, to community contributors, including early testnet users, builders, and participants. In this latest distribution, 1.5 million OMNI, worth approximately $36.2 million, were allocated to key community members as part of a 50% airdrop stake.

Allocation and advisor incentives for future growth

Omni Network has reserved 29.5 million OMNI tokens (29.5% of supply) for ecosystem development to be managed at the discretion of the Omni Foundation. Additionally, advisors and investors are important beneficiaries, with advisors currently receiving 625,000 OMNI, valued at $15 million. Investors’ tokens are set for a three-year unlock schedule, with about 6.7 million tokens currently worth about $161 million to be unlocked after 12 months.

Fake OMNI Token Scam

To further complicate the situation, fake tokens using the OMNI ticker performed a “rug pull,” allowing the developer to execute a $398,000 exit scam. The price of this scam token fell 100% after its creator dumped over 17 trillion tokens on 132 Wrapped Ether (WETH). Blockchain security company PeckShield highlighted these scams in an April 18 post, calling attention to the risks associated with token impersonation and fraud in the cryptocurrency industry.

Market reaction and implications

The significant price drop of OMNI following the airdrop reflects the volatility and speculative nature associated with new cryptocurrency assets and airdrops. These events can lead to rapid price movements as initial excitement can lead to profit-taking and market corrections. The additional confusion caused by the presence of fake tokens exacerbates market reactions and highlights the importance of vigilance and due diligence in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
