Crypto Exchange OKEx Supports Airdrops For USDT-TRC20 Holders, Will Allow Conversion of USDT To USDT-TRC20 In Asset Account
Airdrops continue to be the most preferred mode of promoting digital tokens, especially at the initial stages. What it essentially means is distributing free tokens to new and existing users, to publicize them. Crypto platforms have been adopting this technique for a long time, and it has been quite successful in delivering results as well.
Promotion is one of the most important function of marketing in any industry, more so in digital oriented products and services. Crypto space is no exception and requires large scale promotion to get the token moving. In the market with over 1,600 players, it is difficult for a single token to leave a mark. This makes initial promotions even more important. Airdrops, especially for sub-$1 tokens, is one of the more viable forms of promotion, as the free coins help holders to understand the basic functionality of the token and its usability.
Following the same path, TRON has decided to airdrop USDT-TRON worth over $20 million. Recently, Tether (USDT), which was earlier based on OMINI Layer, moved on to TRON’s TRC-20 platform. The move now requires existing holders to convert to TRC-20 supportive platforms, and in return, they will be airdropped with USDT-TRC20.
