According to a new report, US crypto currency users could not get the token, worth $ 1.8 billion. The report prepared by Dragonfly, a crypto money venture capital company, shows that the US regulatory policies caused great damage to the national economy.

Crypto restrictions in the United States prevented the volume of billions of dollars worth of Airdrop

Since the US regulatory SEC evaluated some of the tokens as securities, arrangements that prevent US -based users from demanding these tokens were implemented. In the past, some crypto currency projects, such as Hydrogen, were sued by the SEC on the grounds that they distributed these tokens as securities.

For this reason, geographical restrictions that prevent US users from accessing AirDrop activities have become widespread. According to Dragonfly’s report, the five largest Airdrop event in 2024 distributed $ 20 billion token, and these tokens were prevented from demanding the demands of the US.

The report says that not only users but also the US government suffered a major economic loss. Since the tokens distributed according to tax laws are counted as income, the US Federal Government lost 418 million dollars and state administrations were lost 107 million dollars.

Data show that US users are left out

According to Dragonfly’s analysis of 11 major AirDrop events, 15 %to 44 %of the right holders in these events live in the USA. However, due to geographical restrictions, US investors could not demand a token of $ 1.8 billion.

According to Blokzincir Analysis Specialist Hildebert Moulié, the examined airdrops are based only on the data in Ethereum and related blocks. If a wider data analysis was performed, the lost amount could be much higher. According to the data of crypto data provider Coingecko, a total of 50 major AirDrop events distributed 26 billion dollars of token, 29 of them prevented US users from access.

Dragonfly’s Legal Advisor Jessica Furr says that the regulatory approach in the United States has softened since the beginning of 2025. “There are positive talks between the sector and the SEC to determine the rules, or he says.

Recently, the US administration has taken steps towards making crypto money regulations clearer and cooperating with the sector. However, it remains unclear how these policies will be shaped and whether US users can access AirDrop opportunities in the future.
