A couple of days ago, I came across an interesting event promoted by Hyperion, where you can sell tokens and still receive an airdrop. It's actually my first time encountering something like this.

The rules are very simple: during the event period, place a buy order for $RION , then place a sell order, and post a profit and loss screenshot on X with the hashtag #RIONTRADINGKING.

Even if you are an old user and have traded before, you can still submit a hash to claim, and if it's a losing trade, there will be an extra reward. The prize pool is equivalent to $100,000 worth of $RION,

limited to the BSC chain (those who sell after receiving the airdrop do not count), distributed on August 16, along with the second phase of the airdrop.

Time: August 8, 20:00 - August 16, 20:00 (UTC+8)

Hyperion has actually made significant progress on the Aptos chain: TVL of $130 million, cumulative trading volume of $9.6 billion, monthly active users over 20,000, and a staking volume of 735,000 units for $RION .

In July, they just launched cross-chain bridges, staking modules, BTC trading pairs, along with a bunch of incentives and airdrop plans. They also plan to upgrade Vaults, optimize AMM, develop the BTC market, Launchpool, collaborate across chains, and hold trading competitions... quite a bit of action.

With the support of Aptos, a technically strong chain, combined with stablecoins, RWA, DeFi growth, and overseas collaborations, they aim to head towards the direction of a "global trading engine," which is not just empty talk. If the market on the ETH side picks up, it’s likely that this side will also heat up.

As for $RION , it has been consolidating for the past half month, and the washout period seems sufficient. Although the officials say there is no market-making support, the sudden introduction of a "sell and still receive an airdrop" play is somewhat intriguing.

I personally tend to look for an opportunity to stealthily enter and see if I can catch a wave of market movement later.
