A well-known publicly listed company's media technology group recently announced an interesting plan—launching a token airdrop for shareholders in 2026.

This airdrop is not just a simple benefit. According to disclosed details, the new tokens are designed as a form of loyalty and reward proof. In other words, their primary function is to demonstrate your ongoing support for the company, rather than being traded as traditional crypto assets.

Somewhat restrictive, these airdropped tokens cannot be listed or transferred on exchanges, nor can they be directly exchanged for cash. They are purely a rights certificate.

Want to receive this airdrop? The conditions are also clear—you must hold the company's stock. The more shares you hold, the more tokens you can receive. This binding model is actually an incentive for long-term shareholders and can be seen as an interesting combination of traditional capital markets and Web3 concepts.

This token is designed so cautiously, not allowing trading or withdrawals, making it look like a shareholder club membership card... Wait, is this really Web3? Feels like just a renamed profit-sharing scheme haha Good grief, here we go again, trying to cut the leeks, do you believe it won't really take off until 2026 The more long-term holdings, the more you get? Well, it all depends on whether the stock can go up, brother Basically, it's just a new trick to trap long-term shareholders, since you can't sell or withdraw anyway This ratio is pretty disgusting, really just a proof of rights, what's it even good for? Traditional finance wrapped in Web3 shell, more hype than substance Traditional capital can't handle the crypto market's style, better to go back to the drawing board Token airdrops can't be traded? Then what's the point of having them? They hype it up so loudly, but it's just a points system, I'm stunned

Can't trade or cash out? This is just a points card, a shell of Web3. --- I understand this logic, but it feels a bit pointless... The rights certificate is basically just binding you so you can't run away. --- 2026, who knows by then, let's wait and see. --- Allocating tokens based on the number of stocks is just trying to lock in big players, clever. --- It's both a loyalty proof and non-sellable; I've seen too many tricks like this. --- Interesting operation, but it still lacks the true Web3 flavor. --- Wait, isn't this just a points system with a different disguise?

nah wait, so they're basically just printing loyalty points and calling it "web3" now? statistically speaking, this is exactly how every failed tokenomics experiment started in 2021-2022... *checks notes* ...yeah, the pattern recognition screams tulip mania vibes ngl

Hmm... Can't trade or cash out, what's this called an airdrop? It's just a commemorative coin. Wait, this design is actually quite clever, it can ride the Web3 hype without fear of the coin price crashing. 2026? Will anyone remember this by then? It sounds like another way to cut long-term shareholders, but it does show some creativity. Isn't this just a disguised form of equity incentive? With some packaging, it becomes "Innovation in the Crypto World."

Hmm... Isn't this just a points card disguised as a token? To be honest, No trading, no cash-out? Then what's it called—cryptocurrency? It's just an upgraded version of a membership card. Wait, is this operation trying to evade some regulation? I think I get it now. 2026, huh? Still two years to go, and by then, who knows where Bitcoin will have soared to. The more shares you hold, the more you get? Still the same old trick—just want you to hold on tight and not sell. If it could really be traded, it would have taken off long ago. Doing it this way is truly pointless. It seems like Web3 is actually just strengthening the golden handcuffs for shareholders. I think there's something to it.

Here they come again, tokens that can't be traded... how is this still called an airdrop? Wait, this is just a points card, disguised as Web3. The more stocks you hold, the more you get? Then I'll just keep holding my shares, I can't sell anyway. Honestly, it's still about locking in shareholders; the tactics are indeed innovative. 2026? Let's wait and see. Will it be worth anything then? Talking only about loyalty and rights certificates, the flavor is a bit weak. Integration? It feels like traditional companies forcing their way into Web3... Tokens that can't be traded, how can they be considered part of Web3? I smell a prelude to a rug pull, be careful.
