StandX DUSD airdrop claim period

StandX will open a one-time DUSD airdrop claim window on November 1, 2026 at 00:00 UTC, as the perpetual trading platform winds down operations without launching a platform token. According to the announcement, claims close at 08:00 UTC on December 31, 2026.

What is happening

On October 15, StandX announced that it will gradually cease operations and drop its plan to issue a token. Instead, it will combine its remaining project revenue with additional funding from the team and distribute it to community members as DUSD. The tokens carry no lockup, so recipients can transfer, trade or redeem them after claiming. The platform did not give detailed reasons for the shutdown beyond saying it followed a review of its business and market conditions.

An eligibility checker is scheduled to go live at 00:00 UTC on October 26. Allocations depend on user activity, including pre-deposits, participation in the Alpha phase, mainnet trading, market making and referrals. StandX said it will screen all allocations for fake accounts and reserved the right to change or cancel rewards for accounts showing unusual activity. Users who do not claim before the deadline lose their allocations.

StandX reports serving more than 237,000 users since its mainnet launch in November 2025, with total value locked peaking above $200 million. Most earlier revenue was already returned through its SIP-2 and SIP-3 programs; the airdrop distributes what remains. Other wind-down steps include reduce-only mode for perpetual markets and the end of new registrations and DUSD minting on October 20, closing of remaining positions on January 15, 2027, and a final withdrawal and redemption deadline of January 31, 2027. DUSD liquidity will also be removed from PancakeSwap and Raydium on January 31.

Why it matters

For eligible users, the claim window is the only route to receive their share of the remaining revenue, and missing the deadline means forfeiting it. Because the DUSD has no lockup, recipients may choose to hold, trade or redeem it, and the planned removal of DUSD liquidity from PancakeSwap and Raydium on January 31 narrows the trading venues over time. Liquidity providers have been advised to plan their exits before that date.

For the wider market, the case is another example of a trading platform closing down, following the September 2026 shutdown of BitMEX. Users with funds on StandX should note the separate deadlines for positions, withdrawals and redemptions, and use only official StandX channels when claiming, never sharing private keys or seed phrases.
