A bullish IPO trend—especially for crypto-related or fintech companies—can indirectly boost interest in platform airdrops. This is because market optimism around high-profile listings often spills into the digital asset space, attracting more speculative capital. Platforms might leverage this attention by launching or accelerating airdrops to onboard IPO-driven traffic. For example, if a trading platform or blockchain infrastructure provider is associated with a high-demand IPO, it may use token incentives to convert IPO spectators into active crypto participants. However, the effect depends on whether the IPO audience overlaps with potential airdrop claimants. Strategic timing—releasing the airdrop during or shortly after IPO publicity—can significantly improve reach and claim rates.
