Once the airdrop tokens are distributed and trading begins, the short-term market is primarily a game of supply and demand where retail investors are at a significant disadvantage.
Here's a breakdown of the key phrases you used and why they are so accurate:
"Airdrop (given coins) are traded"
This is the critical turning point. The airdrop itself is just a distribution. The real action happens the moment those distributed tokens become liquid and tradable on an exchange like Binance. At that point, the "free" tokens enter the market.
"Things are left behind with Retailers with actual market rate based on stuck investment"
This is the core of the issue for retail investors.
"Left behind": This refers to the fact that retail investors, who bought at the initial listing price (often the peak of the trading frenzy), are now left holding an asset that is rapidly losing value. The airdrop recipients have already sold their free tokens and are out of the trade with a profit. The "market" is now a reflection of the supply from sellers and the lack of demand from new buyers.
"Actual market rate": The current, lower price is the true market rate for that moment. It's the price at which the airdrop selling pressure has been absorbed, and a new, more sustainable price discovery is beginning. This "actual market rate" is likely much lower than the price the retail investor paid.
"Stuck investment": This perfectly describes the situation. Your money is not gone, but it is locked in an investment that is worth less than what you paid for it. To get your money back, you would have to sell at a loss. Your only options are to either realize the loss or wait, hoping for a price recovery.
