Market Recovery, Airdrop Craze Returns: Upcoming TGE Project Highlights

Recently, with the recovery of the crypto market, on-chain liquidity has decreased, and hot money has begun to move to the secondary market. Several previously stagnant protocols or projects have accelerated their mainnet launch and token TGE processes, especially in the DeFi and L1 tracks. Teams have gone through a "market baptism," optimizing their token distribution strategy, increasing initial circulating supply to avoid the high FDV liquidity trap, while also enhancing airdrop efforts to incentivize community participation.

Furthermore, as Bitcoin approaches the $100,000 milestone, its momentum has paused, and the current slight consecutive decrease in market dominance has also sparked market anticipation for the "altcoin season." The meme trend continues, and VC coins have also found hope. To help readers better understand the market dynamics, BlockBeats has compiled and listed some recently launched or upcoming TGE projects. This article is for communication purposes only and does not constitute any investment advice.
