Meteora DEX announced a readiness to launch the MET token, hinting at a date in October

Meteora may be getting closer to a token generation event and an airdrop. The Solana-based DEX hinted at becoming a TGE platform itself, for its native token and for other projects. 

Meteora may be getting ready for its token generation event. The DEX platform has been expanding its reach in the past few months and has hinted at launching a native token. Additionally, Meteora may become a platform for other projects to announce and market their own TGE. 

Meteora was one of the projects with a long waiting time for launching its native ticker, MET. So far, the protocol has worked as a tokenless exchange, relying on stablecoin liquidity and SOL trading. 

Meteora announces TGE readiness

The Meteora team recently posted a thread on the potential for an upcoming TGE. For now, Meteora has no set date, but it has hinted at advanced readiness for an airdrop. The DEX concluded Season 1 of point farming, with Season 2 still ongoing. The DEX announced plans to scale its trading capabilities, growing its user base. 

Meteora’s team announced it wants to avoid a long wait, but will make sure the DEX is technologically sound before releasing the MET airdrop and opening the door to other projects. 

How to get the Meteora airdrop

Meteora divided its point farming into two seasons. On June 30, the snapshot was taken for activities from 2024 onward. After that, Meteora released the point checker for all Season 1 participants. 

Currently, Meteora has opened Season 2, starting from July 1. To have a chance for an airdrop, users must follow the rules of the LP Stimulus proposal. Users get 1,000 points per $1 in trading fees, and 1 point for each $1 in value locked daily. To gain points, users must join the Meteora liquidity pools as LP providers or traders. Meteora is currently among the top 10 Solana DEXs, with over $889M in value locked. The market achieves over $20B in total volumes. 

Multiple addresses fall below those cutoff rewards and will not be eligible for an airdrop. For small-scale users, the small points balance will not translate into a MET airdrop. Meteora also cut down on fake points and wash trading to minimize inflated point balances. Wallets reported for suspicious liquidity pool activity will be blacklisted. 

Meteora will also add a new type of token claim directly through a liquidity pool. TGE recipients will be able to directly use MET tokens to provide liquidity. This form of airdrop will be optional and will be tested for deploying to other projects.

As of September 10, there was no fixed date on the TGE and airdrop. Any links requiring a wallet connection may be used to drain wallets through malicious smart contracts. Meteora has not released an official airdrop checker, and all other links are also a vector of attack.

So far, Meteora has only hinted at a possible TGE event in October, without setting a specific date.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
