The UNI airdrop in September 2020 distributed 400 tokens to each early Uniswap user, worth approximately $1,200. Fourteen months later, total crypto market capitalization surged from $350 billion to $3 trillion, while DeFi total value locked jumped from $10 billion to $180 billion. Bitcoin peaked at $126,210 on October 6, 2025, fell 52% to around $60,000 in February, and has since recovered to approximately $76,000. The most promising upcoming airdrops include Polymarket, Arc, and Base, whose expected tokens could coincide with a market recovery. The eleven major airdrops since UNI collectively represent roughly $500 million or more, and the article suggests the next bull run could be triggered by a massive distribution of this kind as recovery begins.
