FriendTech's token price plunges over 90% after launch
Friend has fallen by over 90% in value since FriendTech airdropped the token while debuting version 2 of the web3 social media platform.
The native token of the web3 social media platform currently has almost 18,000 holders and a circulating supply of about 14.5 million .
Most of the selling took place while several users said on X that they were still unable to claim the airdrop. "Watching the value of my airdrop go from 7 figures to 5 figures in the span of 2 hours while I keep refreshing the page trying to claim....still can't claim. Adds insult to injury," crypto investor Luke Martin posted.
Others have speculated that the price dump may have been driven by liquidity issues. Liquidity refers to the market’s capacity to handle significant buy and sell orders at stable prices. In low liquidity environments, a few large orders can swing market prices disproportionately.

"This has to be a joke, friendtech only added $0.01 in liquidity, so first you milk your users with fees, then u get them to add liquidity so that they can dump on each other top class team here," crypto trader mcSleuth posted . While the token may have had low liquidity at the start, DexScreener shows its current liquidity stands at north of $4 million.
Earlier today, the token was opened for trading on FriendTech’s own DEX offering via Bunny Swap that’s accessible via the app.
FriendTech's token airdrop
On Friday, decentralized social platform FriendTech airdropped its native token while unveiling version 2 of the platform.
Version 2 features 'Clubs,' which are community spaces owned and operated by key holders. The keys to the Clubs will be transacted in Friend tokens, with a 1.5% fee to every transaction that goes to liquidity providers on its DEX.
FriendTech made its debut in August of last year on Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain Base as an invite-only networking service that leverages social tokens called “Keys” that give users access to exclusive chats and content from creators.

The 5% U.S. Treasury yield storm is coming! The refinancing time bomb countdown begins—who will be the first victim?
The 10-year US Treasury yield has surpassed 5%, reaching a new high since 2007.

Don't Fight the Profit Cycle! Will U.S. Stocks Break 8,000 Points This Year?
Jefferies predicts that, driven by the dual engines of the AI investment boom and stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, the S&P 500 index is expected to soar to 8,000 points by the end of 2026 and further reach 9,000 points in 2027. AI-driven profit expansion has spread from the "Magnificent Seven" to the entire market, with the S&P 500's EPS forecast to surge by 35% this year, far exceeding market consensus—marking the strongest earnings supercycle since 1995!

Will “continual learning” AI extend the memory “shortage” until 2031?
Citi believes that as AI enters the era of "continuous learning" beyond simple training and inference stages, demand for HBM, server DDR5, and enterprise SSDs (eSSD) will experience explosive and simultaneous growth starting from 2027. While demand will surge rapidly, the supply side is constrained by HBM production capacity usage and slower technology migration, leading to expansion lagging far behind demand. This supply-demand imbalance is expected to continue until 2031.
