  No, you cannot sell your cryptocurrency on the record date and still receive the dividend. The record date is the cut-off date set by the company to determine who is eligible to receive the dividend. If you sell your cryptocurrency before or on the record date, you will no longer be considered a shareholder and will not be entitled to the dividend. It's important to hold the cryptocurrency until after the record date to be eligible for the dividend.

  As a general rule, selling your cryptocurrency on the record date will make you ineligible to receive the dividend. However, it's important to check the specific rules and regulations of the cryptocurrency or exchange you are using. Some cryptocurrencies or exchanges may have different policies regarding dividends and record dates. It's always a good idea to do your research and consult the official documentation or contact customer support for accurate information on dividend eligibility.
