Doodles NFTs Pump 40% as Traders Front-Run DOOD Token Giveaway
Blue-chip NFT project Doodles is riding a speculative wave ahead of its long-awaited token launch—because nothing fuels crypto rallies like free money waiting to be flipped.
The airdrop playbook: NFT holders snap up assets to qualify for DOOD tokens, then dump both the JPEGs and the tokens at the first sign of profit-taking. Meanwhile, VC backers quietly unlock their allocations.
Bullish signal or degen gambit? Either way, the charts don’t lie—until the liquidity vanishes.

In brief
- Doodles NFT sales jumped 97% in 24h, surpassing 1.1 million dollars.
- Investors anticipate the DOOD crypto airdrop.
- The project establishes itself as a key player in the renewed interest in NFTs.
Doodles: strategic hype or a well-measured stroke of genius?
The sudden increase in sales volume did not come out of nowhere. On May 9th, the long-awaited event is happening: the launch of the DOOD crypto. Simple memecoin or a real cornerstone of an emerging ecosystem? Difficult to decide. One thing is certain: whales and small holders see an opportunity too tempting to sit on the sidelines.
According to data from CryptoSlam, Doodles NFTs have climbed to third place in daily sales, behind giants such as DMarket.
In one week, the crypto project recorded 2.6 million dollars in volume, a +368%. This performance, in a global context where NFTs struggle to regain their former glory, raises a simple question: are we witnessing a return to favor or a final blaze before the storm?
The recent success of Doodles also seems to rely on a powerful psychological element: anticipation of the airdrop. When a collection announces that a crypto will be distributed for free to holders, it mechanically triggers a rush. Buying a Doodle today is like buying a ticket to a crypto lottery, but with a ticket that can already be resold.
DOOD on Solana: memecoin, yes, but not only
Launched on Solana, the DOOD crypto does not only aim to ride the meme wave. Doodles immediately set the rules: 10 billion tokens, a strong community distribution (68%), and well-oiled storytelling.
The teams, meanwhile, will have to wait: vesting over three years, with one year locked. A way to reassure skeptics? Maybe. But also a clear signal: the crypto project wants to inspire confidence.
The multichain integration strategy, with an announced extension to Base, also shows a desire to open the doors beyond the original community. Binance and Bybit, already in the starting blocks, have promised to list the crypto as of May 9th. The airdrop will therefore not be an end, but the beginning of a full-scale test.
And in this dynamic, it WOULD be naive to ignore the broader context: the NFT market as a whole is timidly picking up. Over 103 million dollars in sales in one week, a +7% that is anything but anecdotal.
Doodles is therefore not alone in this race, but it seems to have taken a lead. It remains to be seen if this momentum will translate into lasting consolidation or if the enthusiasm will wane after the DOOD token distribution. Meanwhile, ethereum records a remarkable 22% rise in 24 hours, surpassing 2,200 dollars.
