XRP holders face the risk of losing significant sums if they do not claim their tokens in the Midnight airdrop. Only 40 days are left to act.
Risks for XRP Holders
Cryptocurrency commentator Big Pey warns that XRP holders could leave billions of dollars unclaimed in the Midnight airdrop. He noted that major networks like SOL, ADA, BTC, ETH, AVAX, and BNB are also open for user claims. According to him, there are only 40 days left for users to claim their tokens, as the tokenomics are designed to encourage user activity.
Token Redistribution Model
In response to questions about the fate of unclaimed tokens, Pey clarified that they will not vanish but will instead be redistributed in a scavenger hunt stage that attracts more participants. He emphasized that this model prevents a small group from taking all the tokens. Pey also pointed out that mass claims in the initial stage would enhance the network, unlike large portions that may move to later stages.
Community Reactions
Community reactions were divided, with some users like CelsiusPuffery viewing the scavenger hunt model as a fair solution, while others, including DogQueso, raised concerns that hidden strategies could allow certain groups to benefit disproportionately. This combination of excitement and doubt signals the ambivalence that has tended to surround large crypto giveaways.
With only 40 days left, XRP holders face a critical decision: claim their tokens now or risk losing significant amounts in the future.
