The long-anticipated trading of Eigenlayer’s EIGEN token began today, following the lifting of transfer restrictions that had been in place since the token’s launch in May. Major cryptocurrency exchanges including Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, ByBit, and OKX have listed EIGEN, providing liquidity to holders of the token, many of whom received it through airdrops<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a> released through X, the Eigen Foundation highlighted the importance of this milestone: “We\u2019re thrilled to announce the unlocking of the EIGEN token, a big step for the Eigenlayer ecosystem. This opens up new possibilities for open innovation, shared security, and participation across the network.”<\/p>\n

Buy Or Sell Eigenlayer (EIGEN)?<\/h2>\n

Market sentiment has been mixed on the first day of trading. Lookonchain reported significant purchases by whales, indicating strong interest from large-scale investors. One transaction involved an address purchasing 383,672 EIGEN at $4.05, totaling $1.55 million. Another address spent 1.31 million USDC to acquire 318,651 EIGEN at $4.10.<\/p>\n

Despite these buys, not all activity has been bullish; notable crypto whale GCR was reported to have sold a significant amount of EIGEN shortly after the unlock, depositing over 250,000 EIGEN into Binance. \u201cGCR (@GiganticRebirth) claimed an airdrop of 253,946 EIGEN($1.06M) through 7 wallets and deposited all of it into Binance 40 minutes ago. #GCR\u201c Lookonchain reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Crypto analyst Aylo offered<\/a> a comparison of EIGEN’s market performance relative to other tokens via X: “EIGEN launched exactly in line with the pre-market price, sitting at $7B FDV. A few coins with bigger FDVs than EIGEN currently include OP ($8B), ONDO ($7.9B), UNI ($7.7B), FIL ($7.6),BCH ($7.2B),” he noted, suggesting that EigenLayer’s role in Ethereum’s ecosystem could be a critical factor in its valuation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEigenLayer is the innovation on Ethereum this cycle, and has had more coverage than almost anything else in the EVM in the last year.

Daan Crypto Trades, another prominent analyst, remarked<\/a> on the market dynamics: “EIGEN Launched today. I think many market participants will be watching the price action develop to gauge overall market strength and sentiment. So far, price has held up, and even gone up slightly, even though there’s a lot of airdrop participants selling their tokens.”<\/p>\n

He speculated on the potential for EIGEN’s market valuation to rise, indicating that the current conditions<\/a> might be more favorable than in recent months. \u201cIf the market keeps trending from here I’m assuming EIGEN can go much higher than $7B FDV. Earlier this year it was estimated to launch at $20B+ (in better market conditions). Having said that, I don’t own any right now but I’d definitely be a buyer at $2-3 and I think many would. So not sure if it gets there at all if it doesn’t do so in the first few days of airdrop selling,\u201d Daan concluded.<\/p>\n

At press time, EIGEN traded at $4.127.<\/p>\n

Jake is not just a reporter on technological trends; he is a firm believer in the transformative potential of Bitcoin over traditional fiat currencies.

Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system. His libertarian views reinforce his stance that just as the church was separated from the state, so too should money be freed from governmental control. For Jake, Bitcoin represents more than just an investment; it's a peaceful revolution. He envisions a future where Bitcoin fosters a sustainable and responsible financial framework for generations to come. His advocacy is not about opposition but about evolution, about laying the groundwork for a system that prioritizes transparency and equity over secrecy and inequality. As a journalist, Jake\u2019s articles are crafted with the precision of a scholar and the passion of a true believer. He provides not only news but also thoughtful analysis that connects the dots between daily developments and larger economic theories. His work is a beacon for those lost in the technical jargon often associated with crypto discussions, illuminating the practical implications and benefits of these technologies.

His work is more than just a collection of articles; it\u2019s a resource, a guide, and a companion for anyone ready to explore the potential of this digital frontier.

Drawing from the principles of the Austrian school of economics, Jake views Bitcoin not merely as a digital asset but as a crucial step towards rectifying a failing monetary system.
