While the cryptocurrency market witnessed Bitcoin and Ethereum surge to new all-time highs in 2025, the landscape for token airdrops—often dubbed ‘free money’ for users—underwent a significant recalibration. The top five airdrops of the year distributed a combined $4.5 billion in peak value to participants, a substantial figure yet markedly lower than the $19 billion recorded in 2024. This shift highlights a year of fewer high-profile distributions, led by emerging layer-1 networks like Story Protocol and Berachain, alongside established players such as Jupiter and Linea, even as most tokens experienced steep declines from their post-airdrop peaks.

Coinbase (COIN) shares have plunged nearly 40% from their July peak of $444 to around $271, mirroring heightened volatility in the broader cryptocurrency market. Despite this sharp decline, analysts at Bernstein maintain a resolutely bullish outlook, reaffirming a ‘Buy’ rating with a $510 price target. Their confidence stems from Coinbase’s strategic pivot from a pure trading platform toward what they term an emerging ‘everything exchange,’ a transformation they believe will fuel a new bullish phase.
