All XEM holders on 12/03/21 will be awarded an airdrop of XYM tokens at a ratio of 1-1. So if you held 1,000 XEM tokens on the specific date, you’ll receive 1,000 XYM.
In plain English, as a XEM holder, you are essentially getting the XYM tokens for free to promote the new Symbol project by NEM. You will then, at some point, be able to sell or trade them once market value has been established.
What is the XYM token?

The Symbol project is described as “the next-generation enterprise-grade blockchain solution from NEM, purpose-built to help businesses cut costs, reduce complexities, and streamline innovation. With major upgrades in flexibility, security, speed and ease of use, the Symbol platform is the best-in-class blockchain enterprise solution.”
