  As an expert in the field of cryptocurrency trading, I can provide some insights into the ex-dividend process. In the context of cryptocurrency trading, the ex-dividend process works similarly to traditional markets. When a cryptocurrency project decides to distribute dividends, they set an ex-dividend date. On this date, anyone who holds the tokens is eligible to receive the dividends. The dividends are typically distributed proportionally based on the number of tokens held by each investor. It's important for investors to be aware of the ex-dividend date and hold the tokens before this date to be eligible for the dividends. After the ex-dividend date, new investors who buy the tokens will not be eligible for the dividends until the next ex-dividend date. This process incentivizes investors to hold the tokens for a longer period and can be seen as a way to reward long-term holders.
