Genius Terminal, a crypto trading platform, hit $787 million in single-day trading volume, with $728 million from EVM-compatible networks. Weekly volume surpassed $2 billion, with users averaging $82,400 in trading volume per wallet, up from $85 million a week before. Traders are excited about a potential airdrop, engaging in “airdrop farming” tactics.

The sudden growth of Genius Terminal is fueled by expectations of an upcoming airdrop, where users can earn new tokens based on trading activity. Airdrop farming allows users to profit from early-stage projects by receiving tokens before they are available on exchanges. However, token prices are not guaranteed to rise.

Despite the hype, Genius Terminal has not confirmed an airdrop date. The platform has teased the possibility of a reward for users through social media posts, referencing “parachutes,” “airdrops in 2026,” and the potential for something “big” tied to its Genius Points (GP) system. GP rewards users for trading activity, transactions, and referrals.

Genius Terminal’s GP program rewards users with points based on their trading activity, transactions, and referrals. Users can earn tiered bonuses that escalate from “Smart” to “God” status, potentially making them eligible for future perks such as token airdrops. The platform’s first “season” of the GP program does not yet include tokens.
