JUP Stakers to Receive MET Airdrop as TGE Announced

Meteora has confirmed via Discord that JUP stakers will receive the MET token airdrop, coinciding with the Token Generation Event (TGE) in October 2025.

The airdrop may impact market dynamics as liquidity shifts towards eligibility, highlighting its significance in the Solana DeFi ecosystem.

JUP Stakers to Benefit from October MET Token Airdrop

Meteora’s team, co-led by Ben Chow and Soju, who have long been active in Solana’s DeFi space, announced the MET token airdrop for JUP stakers. This announcement follows recent discussions on Discord where eligibility conditions were confirmed. The TGE, set for October, will mark the introduction of MET as a governance token within the Meteora ecosystem.

Changes from this event include the allocation of 15% of MET supply for airdrops and liquidity programs. With 25% proposed for liquidity rewards and reserves, these allocations will be distributed based on user engagement and points accumulation. The TGE will likely increase liquidity flows as participants position themselves for the airdrop.

Reactions within the community are largely positive. Meteora’s strategic approach to rewarding active participants has been noted by many as a move to foster deeper community engagement. On Twitter, Co-Lead Soju emphasized their focus on refining criteria to reward the most active builders and stakers.

Solana’s Liquidity Dynamics Poised for Transformation

Did you know? The last major Solana airdrop, involving Jupiter protocol, led to significant increases in on-chain TVL, similar to what is projected for MET’s upcoming TGE.

According to CoinMarketCap, Meteora’s MET token is currently priced at $0.24, with a market cap of $42.69 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $48.17 million, showing a 3.92% increase. Recent monthly gains are recorded at 5.18%, while 90-day metrics reflect a 51.16% rise, indicating strengthened investor interest.

The research team at Coincu suggests that the airdrop could significantly impact the Solana ecosystem’s liquidity dynamics, potentially enhancing user participation and engagement. Historical trends indicate similar events, such as those involving Jupiter protocol, have influenced both short-term and long-term liquidity flows, contributing to sectoral growth.
