The exchange's airdrop strategy seems to have found a new balance: controlling the amount of each airdrop within the range of $30 to $40. The volume isn't large but it can maintain popularity. This move appears to be a form of user segmentation—initially attracting users with moderate airdrops, then gradually filtering out those who genuinely intend to trade, whether in contracts or spot trading, naturally eliminating those who are just here for free rewards.

From an operational cost perspective, it's indeed clever—spending the least amount of money to stimulate liquidity while optimizing user quality. This cyclical group replacement logic is also quite interesting— as long as the market remains active, there will always be newcomers interested in contract trading and crypto speculation. Coupled with recent reforms and adjustments to trading competitions, it also indirectly guides users to engage in swing trading. In essence, it's still centered around the core demand of crypto trading.

I've said it before, the essence of this airdrop strategy is to weed out the chaff; those who can truly make money have already figured it out. I explained this logic thoroughly half a year ago, and those who only understand now are a bit late. To put it simply, $30 to $40 is just a bait; the real opportunity lies in the subsequent contract battles. If you can't seize the first move, you'll only be eliminated. This move is brilliant—spending the least amount of money to have users create liquidity for the exchange themselves, with unmatched cost control. Contract trading is the real wealth secret, but unfortunately, most people are still tangled up in the airdrop itself. Time waits for no one, everyone. The next wave of adjustments will be the best time to make strategic moves.

The nightmare for money grinders has arrived, and this combo really packs a punch. 30 to 40 USD? That amount has indeed shrunk, but I have to admit the operational logic is sound. Airdrops and trading competitions—just trying to keep the real retail investors. I've seen through it all; it's always the same playbook. After all this, they still want to take our transaction fees.

Airdrop amounts of $30 to $40 are indeed stingy, but on second thought, this move is pretty clever—it directly filters out the grab-and-go crowd.

Amazing, this is true refined operation. The $30-40 limit is perfectly set, it can attract traffic without fostering a bunch of freeloaders.

Wow, this is the legendary "precise harvesting of the leek." You can filter out true leeks with just $30-40, and this operational method is absolutely brilliant.
