This is something that I'm thinking, why won't the top 10~top 50 coins do it so that it can help their shareholders multiply their wealth. STEEM did it, and now XEM is doing a 1:1 drop for their XYM which has decentralization features to target the market cap too.

Will the project feature push it, or will the mere fact that it came from NEM will most likely push their new token to success.

Will the price of an airdrop token increase significantly if it's under a big project/company? Or does it really depend on how that new token and its team perform?

I think both, if its a big project or token, then it most likely already has a solid team behind it. But yes, all these factors can really affect how the new token that will be on airdrop perform.

Having that 1:1 is also a good idea to attract new people to go for their new coin, most projects don't do that.

Both is important, but i think team's member is the most important thing, because so many success project out there don't cooperate with major project. And also we see even they are cooperate with major projects but if their team not serious to developt their project, will fail.

And about airdrop with 1:1 ratio, i think this is will give positif impact to major project, but for new token, it depend with team

people really don't trust airdrops anymore, there's really a high tendency that people will not get their hard-earned airdrop tokens if the project failed to raise funds.

It really all falls on the team to perform. The partnerships that they're doing won't mean a thing if both parties don't execute.

This means another cryptocurrency that will be made under their banner, right?

As usual, the hype starts whenever there are news like this so that's likely that the investors will buy the idea and later on followed by a dump. If you are interested to this project, be sure that you know the whole details and what you're buying.

It increases temporarily but it doesn't last long, just look at those BTT by Tron and other projects that did the same thing.

Until recently, I was very actively interested in various kinds of air drops and at the same time fully complied with the relevant conditions. there were even such projects where registration on the site was required, with full confirmation of their passport data, father-in-law KYC. but for this entire period, about six months, I received only 10% of the total remuneration from all the projects in which I participated. even these 10% of the coins in my wallet have no value in the market. I would like to see at least some rating of airdrops in order to find out real information on how things are with airdrops on the market.

It largely depends on the purpose of the new project that the company is proposing. If it's promising, then it'll definitely do well otherwise, It'll be short lived. Anyone who was around for NEO's Ontology airdrop would understand what I'm saying. If the new project brings little to no value, this will affect the performance when it becomes traded in a secondary market. Simply put – projects shouldn't just go around creating sub products/projects, distributing them and then hope for it to do well because it won't. Another point to consider is the community behind the project, if the project has a strong communithat supports such as airdrop (like they did with ONT), price performance shouldn't be an issue.

You got it all wrong because every coins in the crypto space does that but it called hard fork and if you check/read well the XEM dev message about XYM will understand that it a fork coin of XEM automatically every individuals that hold XEM before the hardfork is entitled to XYM in the ratio of the XEM hes holding.

The project feature may not push because there are also some projects that alteady offer the features before but the crypto business is broad and people are always after project with unique update/utility.

It depends on the team performance in the sense of making people that earn the free coin captivated so they would be more interested in holding the coin rather than selling it as free money.

I don't think anymore these kinds of token will increase significantly.
Those airdrop tokens for sure are only for advertisement just like what other altcoins did.
For those altcoins that doing airdrop or something like fork coins which you can able another crypto once you own particular cryptocurrency.
This thing is kinda a hype only or advertisement so some people will buy the particular cryptocurrency just to get a forked cryptocurrency.

The golden time for airdrop will not happen again as this time even when it comes from the trusted project and the amount that already offered can be considered as a very small money or even pennies.
Mostly airdrop worth around $10 - $25

the investor are the one that make the price  . it does depend on the team but the blockchain from where the token is created wont matter  . many blockchains now , aside from eth but for every each blockchain the success rate is still slim because i still see many failed projects   .

 its hard to predict what will be the value after all  but we can say that good quality projects ( better teams ) have a high value price because compare to the bad  projects ofc

Agreed. Golden times for airdrops was in 2017-2018 and in that time you could make nice money with it.
Nowadays airdrops are worthless, even if they are worth 50$, you can't do anything with it as 99 % are not listed on exchanges.

I couldn't see any reasons for an airdrop tokens to reach to an overwhelming price, because based on previous experience I had it could only generate a short term demand. Price might collapse suddenly when trading investors including the hunters will dump their assets. Don't expect too much from an airdrop, they'll just making promises of a huge project but unfortunately telling impossible stories which isn't coinciding to reality.

It also depends on how popular the project or business is. For example, XLM, its price will remain the same when they pay for our coin, because it is a famous alts and there are many people willing to buy. And for the bad airdrop projects, there will be more risks for us. If no one is willing to buy, the price of that token will definitely be greatly reduced. It all depends on the popularity of the project or business in the future.

That's correct, being that its not very likely for an altcoin that came from an airdrop to reach the top 10's in CMC but if it does come from a very successful project (which is NEM from the OP), it is possible, but it needs to pull everything off perfectly.

of course what is expected is that prices do not experience a dump when the airdrop is distributed, everyone would expect that, but for a new project it is usually after listing on a price exchange that experiences a dump

Of course if a large project creates a new project under them and does an airdrop there will definitely be a lot of people participating and the price of their tokens will also be in line with expectations. One example is the Trust Wallet Token, This is a token from Trust Wallet. This wallet is not only famous because it belongs to binance, but because this wallet is really good. All projects must be balanced in anything to achieve the targeted price.

Airdrop was once a method of attracting investment that aims to warm up the market and make supporters and investors aware of the blockchain Ethereum or another of great value. However, this type of attraction is saturated and most people receive airdrop and already want to sell without even maturing at their address for possible appreciation. In my opinion should change the style of attracting new investors and reward experienced investors without being an Airdrop.

not only for an alts thats distributed by airdrop my friend
but all kind of new project in cryptocurrency is depends on their team, if their team seriously develop the project,
i'm sure, the token is good enough to hold it

If you want the price of airdrop tokens to rise, it depends on the developer team how to make promotional projects that interest investors.
With a creative idea, there will be high demand and of course the price of tokens will increase. Usually big projects succeed make tokens
prices go up, because of effective promotions. So make investors confident with the tokens.

Such things cannot be predicted easily. If you are staisfied with the team and the project development in general and believe that the project will do well in mid to long term then you should hold the airdrop coins as well and wait for good price to make decent gains in the end.

Airdrop coin price depends on>
1. The project where it comes
2. The popularity of the project
3. Teamwork
4. Listed exchanges
5. Markets

So since you indicated guess it when the airdrop will become from the major project then we can guess it price will be good enough. But It is very hard indeed guess the correct price of these airdrop token. So according to this market situation, we can not expect more than 20$ from an airdrop IMO.

Many airdrops are now used for fraud and now there are many airdrp tricks for marketing to investors and with saturated tricks I think this style will not change because people think airdrop is now only inhabited by some scamer.

Having a good promotions will attract to the users to join their project. Some price boom but some it did not last long to an increase price. If there is development on the project many users who join will benefit and take profit. So an AirDrop we cannot predict as to what price it will increase.

the price of tokens will further increase depending on the performance of the team and also can be due to partner with large companies. but what is more influential is the price increase is to see the performance of the team in developing its projects

When projects are able to expand and reach out to big partners, who are able to either use their products or are able to make a meaningful contribution to their platforms, there is every possibility that it could influence the prices of their tokens, although, the community must also be involved.
