ETH-USD

The EigenLayer airdrop, distributing 45% of its 1.67 billion tokens, has sparked excitement and criticism due to its phased rollout, initial non-transferability, and exclusion of certain countries including the U.S. and Canada.

Despite these issues, the platform's total value remains strong, but recent developments have led to a significant withdrawal of funds.
