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. 
In the wider crypto market slump, potentially influenced by tensions surrounding a potential <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/04/14/crypto-prices-drops-amid-tensions-between-iran-and-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">Iran-Israel conflict</a>, OMNI token prices fell by 55% on Wednesday after listing on major crypto exchanges, such as Parcl (PRCL) on Solana and Wormhole’s X token, which has lost $1.5 billion in market cap since launch. 
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.”
