​​Should you sell your airdrop right after TGE?

We analyzed 8 major airdrops based on the allocations most wallets received, comparing claim-day value vs value if held until today.

Here is the real picture:

HYPE — $130 → $4.7K
UNI — $1.2K → $1.3K
APT — $1.1K → $90
OP — $380 → $25
ARB — $1.3K → $85
APE — $80K → $1.5K
STRK — $1K → $15
DYDX — $3.7K → $37

Hyperliquid stands out as the only airdrop with significant upside for holders: the median allocation value grew ~35x since TGE. Uniswap ended roughly flat after six years.
