Hamster Kombat, a tap-to-earn game on Telegram, conducted its anticipated airdrop, distributing HMSTR tokens to users. Out of 300 million players, 131 million qualified for the reward, but many users complained online about receiving disappointing amounts of HMSTR. The game had been touted as the fastest-growing digital service and a driver of blockchain adoption. HMSTR's price fell to $0.007 as users cashed in, and more than 108,000 wallets hold HMSTR, with a significant portion redeemed to Binance. The Open Network, associated with Telegram, has experienced network outages due to user activity. Google search volume for Hamster Kombat has been concentrated in Africa, with limited interest in the US. HMSTR trading against the Turkish Lira on Binance reached $24 million. HashKey Global launched perpetual futures trading for HMSTR. The game had reserved 15 billion HMSTR for its second season, but some virtual CEOs expressed a desire to resign after the airdrop.
