PANews reported on December 17 that according to CoinDesk, after the NFT trading platform OpenSea registered an entity in the Cayman Islands, it sparked speculation that it might be preparing to airdrop tokens. Waleswoosh, an anonymous researcher at Azuki and a user of the X platform, posted a screenshot of the OpenSea registration . The registration information appeared in the General Registry of the Cayman Islands and was also confirmed by OpenSea to CoinDesk.
The post sparked speculation about whether the move was a step toward launching the token in a cryptocurrency-friendly jurisdiction than the U.S. A dashboard created on Dune lets OpenSea users check their historical activity to estimate the value of a potential airdrop. OpenSea declined to comment on whether it would launch a native token.
OpenSea plans to launch OpenSea 2.0 this month, with more than 1 million unique wallets signed up to join the waiting list. The new platform features a "retro" section that rewards users for their historical activities in the form of "points." This year, point rankings have become a common way to airdrop tokens to users, incentivizing continued activity and loyalty. However, there is no indication that OpenSea plans to take this approach.
