Today, the launch of MET was announced on the official X profile of Meteora.
The airdrop of the MET token by Meteora was announced on October 16, 2025, and is now finally live.
On the Meteora app, MET is finally tradable in USDC.
The MET Airdrop
Meteora has distributed 15% of the total supply of MET.
Last year, 8% was dedicated to the activity of liquidity providers (LP), to which another 5% has been added this year.
Instead, 2% was allocated to retail users in the form of an airdrop.
Now eligible users for the airdrop can verify their points on met.meteora.ag, and choose whether to receive MET directly or receive liquidity positions in the form of NFTs that allow earning immediate fees if used to provide liquidity.
The airdrop started today, October 23, 2025, at 1:00 PM UTC, coinciding with the liquidity generation event (LGE). Trading began an hour later, with the listing on some centralized exchanges.
The MET tokens distributed through the airdrop are fully unlocked right at launch, with no vesting for users, while the team has a 6-year vesting period.
This airdrop is not intended to be merely a token distribution, but also an experiment to encourage active participation in DeFi, allowing users to reinvest the received tokens to generate immediate yield.
Meteora
Meteora is a DeFi protocol built on the Solana blockchain.
It is focused on optimizing liquidity management for automated market makers (AMM).
The project stands out for its innovative Dynamic AMM, an innovative system that allows liquidity pools to dynamically adapt to maximize fees for liquidity providers (LP) and improve trading efficiency.
Unlike traditional AMMs, Meteora’s Dynamic AMM uses advanced algorithms to dynamically adjust liquidity pools, optimizing returns for LPs and reducing impermanent loss. It supports both stable and volatile pools, with fees that vary based on market conditions.
Additionally, Meteora introduces liquidity positions in the form of NFTs, which allow users to provide liquidity flexibly and earn immediate fees. These positions can be transferred or sold.
Finally, users can reinvest the MET tokens received from the airdrop to provide liquidity and generate immediate yield, with the goal of creating a virtuous cycle of participation.
Meteora leverages the speed and low costs of Solana to offer fast and scalable transactions, making the protocol accessible to a wide user base.
The goal is to revolutionize DeFi by making liquidity management more efficient and profitable for users.
The price of MET
The launch of MET token trading took place today at an initial price above $0.9.
As was predictable, however, since there is no vesting on the tokens distributed with the airdrop, sales began immediately, with a drop in a few hours below $0.6.
However, after that initial drop, it now seems to have settled above $0.6, which should be considered the true reference level instead of the initial $0.9, which proved to be excessive.
At this moment it is practically impossible to make predictions, but since MET is already tradable on two major exchanges (Binance Alpha and MEXC), it is possible that the volumes will be substantial already on the first day.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) is in fact still in its early stages, as it was effectively launched in 2015 with the arrival of Ethereum, but it really took off only in 2021 with the boom of the first DEX.
Innovative projects like Meteora are useful at this stage to experiment with new solutions that allow for the optimization of tools in use, in order to further develop this sector and make it increasingly high-performing.
