NFT trading platform OpenSea has sparked speculation that it may be preparing to airdrop tokens after registering an entity in the Cayman Islands. An anonymous researcher at Azuki and X-platform user Waleswoosh posted a screenshot of OpenSea's registration. The registration information appeared in the Cayman Islands General Registry and was also confirmed by OpenSea to CoinDesk. The post has sparked speculation whether the move is a step towards issuing tokens in a cryptocurrency jurisdiction that is friendlier than the United States. A dashboard created on Dune allows OpenSea users to check their historical activity to estimate the value of potential airdrops. OpenSea declined to comment on whether it will launch a native token.
OpenSea plans to launch OpenSea 2.0 this month, and more than 1 million unique wallets have signed up to join the waitlist. The new platform features a "retro" section that rewards users for historical activity in the form of "points." This year, point leaderboards have become a common way to airdrop tokens to users, incentivizing continued activity and loyalty. However, there is no indication that OpenSea plans to take this approach. (Coindesk)
