🎁 How to Sell Tokens from Airdrops Efficiently?
You’ve received an airdrop, but what’s next? How do you secure your profit and avoid falling into FOMO? Here’s how you can potentially earn much more than just selling 100% of your tokens right at the listing.
For example, let’s take the recent Hyperliquid airdrop. Tokens were distributed generously, and people sold them on listing for $4-8. However, just a few days later, the token was trading at over $25, peaking at $33. By waiting, one could have made significantly higher profits.
Suggested Strategy:
1️⃣ Sell 30-50% of the tokens immediately at listing.
This secures some profit and covers any costs you might have incurred. Plus, it protects you if the token price drops and you miss the chance to sell at a good price.
2️⃣ Hold the remaining tokens for potential growth.
Tokens often pump before team or investor unlocks. You can track this using tokenomics and vesting schedules. Alternatively, you can trade part of the remaining tokens, buying and selling to maximize profit through speculation.
For instance:
If you receive tokens worth $1,000, sell half immediately for $500. This guarantees a profit and eliminates risk.Hold the other half, as many tokens tend to gain value after listing. If the token doubles in price a week later, your remaining tokens will be worth $1,000, adding 50% more to your profit than if you had sold everything at once.
😬 If the token drops instead of growing (e.g., the remaining tokens are worth only $250), you can either hold on longer or sell and accept the loss on the second portion.
Key Reminder:
👋 Selling at the perfect peak is almost impossible. Experiment with this strategy, analyze the results, and adjust your approach for each project accordingly.
