In an unexpected turn of events, Altlayer (ALT) saw a 30% price increase quickly after being listed on the Binance platform and receiving a strategic airdrop. The altcoin’s price increased due to increased trading activity when it first distributed 300 million ALT tokens, which had a total value of less than $100 million.

With a strategically planned airdrop, Altlayer gave 300 million ALT tokens to the cryptocurrency community to start the journey. The purpose of the move was to decentralize ownership, attract attention, and cultivate a large and active user base for the Altlayer ecosystem.

The airdrop instantly affected the market as the dispersed ALT tokens’ total value got close to the $100 million level. The movement of tokens into a wide range of holders created the conditions for more trading and liquidity.
