Alpha Deeping: Linea ( $LINEA ) follows the same airdrop pattern – but can it stand out?
When Optimism and Arbitrum launched, we all saw the same story: massive airdrops, thousands of wallets selling instantly, and heavy price pressure in the first weeks.
• Now Linea seems to follow that path:
• 9.3B tokens airdropped to ~750k wallets
• 72B total supply, no VC/team allocation
• Already $1.3B TVL, ranking among the largest Ethereum L2s at launch
Here’s where it gets interesting 👇
On one side, Linea is built by Consensys (MetaMask, Infura), which gives it strong credibility. On the other, such a huge airdrop almost guarantees short-term sell pressure.
But there’s a nuance: Bitget is running a CandyBomb event with 6.45M $LINEA rewards, and major CEX support could help maintain liquidity. It’s not enough to erase the risks, but it adds another layer to the launch.
👉 My take: Linea has the potential to become a solid Ethereum L2, but the road won’t be easy. It could grow like Optimism or Arbitrum… or fade like others. Only time will tell.
As always: Do your own research (DYOR) before making any move.
