PvP and Liquidity Crunch VC Insight: Avoid new launches. - In this tough market, tokens on @MEXC_Official and @bitgetglobal fall to VC purchase prices due to liquidity issues. - MMs aren’t driving organic growth or price surges. - Even heavy marketing fails. 2/19

The Hunger Games of Liquidity Extraction Thesis: Despite spending $100-200k on marketing and $200-300k on liquidity and market making, these efforts often fail. - KOLs are now wary about promoting projects; only stablecoins seem to persuade them. 3/19

- Initial large spending on first listing doesn't benefit projects. - The listing consumes a significant supply and stablecoins. - MMs, whether using loan-and-option or retainer-based models, often countertrade with insider info. 4/19

Exchange Games Thesis: Listing requires the project to maintain the price level at 3x-5x from the listing price on Tier 2 exchanges and above for 2-3 months. - This process is necessary to clean the exchange's reputation regarding the non-scam nature of the project. 5/19

- It also requires a reserve insurance deposit of 150k-200k-300k-500k-1M and more, which cannot be withdrawn from the exchange. - MM trades on the project's account on the other side, collecting a tasty piece of liquidity on their own account. 6/19

- The exchange makes "ON THE STACK" those tokens it received from the listing (how else would they earn). - New methods to protect exchanges were recently invented: - @binance: 12 Month Cliff + 12-24 Month Vesting - @okxofficial: 6 Month Cliff + 6-12 Month Vesting 7/19

Valuations are a bit overpriced. Thesis: If you think that after listing a project from Dao Maker, Ape Terminal, and other Launchpads there will be exit liquidity after you, you as retail are the exit liquidity. 8/19

- Funds enter at valuations 2-3 times lower than Launchpad, with average upside prices of $10-15M up to $45-80M FDV. - Launchpad audiences already provide 2-3x exit liquidity. 9/19

- During listings, maintaining these levels ensures a good launchpad reputation, keeps CEXes happy, and allows funds to unload well after lockups. 10/19

Top Performers are the worst quality projects Thesis: There is an inverse correlation between the quality/performance of a project and the tier of investors it raised from. - Tier 3-4 funds/no-name funds that enter investment rounds are usually KOLs syndicates. 11/19

- KOLs coverage and marketing support are the driving forces behind such an entry. - 5-10% chance that the raised capital (or at least part of it) comes from outside the crypto world and there won't be capital rotation. 12/19

- Such projects don't stay afloat for long and drown in pitiful dreams of a prolonged lifespan of their startup. - The burn rate of the marketing budget is much higher than the income from the services and products they offer. 13/19

Final: Top List from VC Thesis: At this stage of the market, CEX Launchpad Platforms win according to the high-engagement rate scale (remember they are devious). - Prioritize those projects that have raised top investments and received roadshows on @okxofficial and @binance. 14/19

- @coinlistofficial is now a marketing agency as secondary exchange volumes dropped. They offer services like newsletter listings, re-tweets, onchain campaigns, and events similar to Galxe, costing around $50k versus $100-150k on other platforms. 15/19
