When Is CEX.IO Power Tap Airdrop And Listing Date? Full Details

After the popularity of Telegram-based tap-to-earn models, major crypto platforms continue to launch engagement-driven initiatives to onboard users. Last year, crypto exchange CEX.IO introduced its own Telegram-based game – CEX.IO Power Tap – a gamified mining simulator that combines crypto education with rewards.

However, despite months of activity and anticipation, the long-awaited airdrop tied to Power Tap has not yet been distributed.

Here’s the latest on the CEX.IO Power Tap airdrop as of July 2025.

What is Power Tap? 

Launched in May 2024, Power Tap is a gamified crypto-learning simulator designed to bring users into the CEX.IO ecosystem while offering an interactive way to understand mining dynamics. The game allows users to build mining pools, earn in-game BTC, and convert it to in-game fiat to boost their mining power.

The mini-game, hosted entirely on Telegram, encourages players to tap, complete tasks, refer friends, and upgrade virtual assets – all of which influence their future airdrop rewards.

What is the CEX.IO Power Tap airdrop?

The airdrop will distribute CEXP tokens, CEX.IO’s upcoming ecosystem token. The airdrop serves to reward early users for their engagement while attracting new participants to the CEX.IO exchange and its broader ecosystem. The Telegram-based mini-game has attracted millions of users, with over six million participants reported since its launch.

When is the airdrop happening?

While the original schedule targeted Q4 2024 and later shifted to Q2 2025, the airdrop and token generation event (TGE) have not yet occurred as of late July 2025.

• Snapshot 1: Completed in late 2024.
• Snapshot 2: Completed shortly after 5 January 2025.
• Token distribution and exchange listings: Delayed beyond Q2 2025, with no confirmed listing date.

As of now, there is no confirmed date for the TGE, token listing, or CEXP wallet crediting.

Eligibility criteria for the airdrop

Rewards are tied to users’ performance in the Power Tap game. Eligibility depends on:

• Golden tokens shown on user dashboards.
• Blue tokens, which can be converted to Golden Tokens.
• Power CXP, earned by:
  • Completing tasks and tapping regularly.
  • Participating in earlier airdrop seasons.
  • Upgrading cards and engaging in Telegram challenges.
  • Using the spin wheel daily for bonus power.

Accounts must also be registered with CEX.IO and complete KYC verification for final airdrop eligibility.

How to participate in the airdrop

To join the airdrop and maximize your CEXP earnings:

1. Join the Power Tap bot: Access the game via Telegram and begin tapping.
2. Complete daily tasks: Follow social media actions, refer users, and complete mini-quests.
3. Upgrade mining pools and cards: Boost your Power CXP through gameplay actions.
4. Register on CEX.IO: Create an account on the exchange.
5. Verify identity: Complete KYC to receive tokens once distributed.

Token distribution will reflect your in-game efforts and Power level. Users can expect their rewards to be calculated based on accumulated points and converted tokens.

Expected token listing price

Early community sources suggested a listing price range between $0.45 and $0.60. However, there are now mixed expectations, with some speculating a lower initial market value around $0.005 due to delays and oversupply.

As of now, there is no official confirmation of exchange listings or market pricing.

Final thoughts

The CEX.IO Power Tap airdrop has experienced delays, with no confirmed token listing or TGE as of July 2025. While user engagement remains high and snapshot events are complete, final distribution is still pending.

Participants should remain active, continue tapping, and ensure their KYC status is verified to stay eligible.

For the most accurate updates, users should follow CEX.IO’s official roadmap, Twitter, and Telegram channels.
