P2E Token Price Action
The market cap of all P2E tokens corrected downward to $5.86B while other assets also backtracked, sending BTC under $29,000 once again. Tokens mostly retain their positions, with some of the focus shifted on NFT collections.
Upcoming Airdrops and Giveaways
Eldarune has been a long-awaited game collection. Other mints are also in demand, with free mints especially popular. NFT hype remains, but for collections that show robust trading activity. Early mints are still one of the best ways to gain from a collection or gain early collectibles at a relatively low price.
