Recently, I have been changing my way of thinking about issues, trying to observe market trends from the perspective of project teams rather than retail investors.

Taking the recent launch of $vooi and $rtx on a leading exchange as an example, my first impression is—are these project teams panicking? Looking at the performance of the leading projects in the perp dex track, $hype and $aster , during this period, they have plummeted, and the project teams must be feeling very uncomfortable. Previously, due to the $aster airdrop that created a wave of wealth, many people rushed in. And now?

From this perspective, some project teams might have seen their once-starred tracks begin to decline, fearing they might get caught in the downturn, so they hurried to list on exchanges to seize the opportunity to cash out and exit. This explains why these projects are rushing to go live at this point—rather than waiting patiently, they prefer to act quickly while the hype still exists.

VOOI-7,65%

HYPE2,81%

ASTER2,79%

Woke up, the project party's operation is indeed a signal. The track is doomed and they are eager to escape, to put it bluntly, it’s still the old routine of playing people for suckers. Those who participated in the $aster Airdrop are probably regretting it now, this is called the cost of catching a falling knife.

Hmm... this logic does hold up, but I don't think the project team is that passive. To put it simply, it's just capital seeking profits—when there's hype, they invest; when the track cools down, they withdraw. This routine is too old.

Listening to you, it does make some sense, but I think the project team’s move is too obvious. Haven’t retail investors all seen through it?

ngl, that perp dex collapse feels like mile 20 energy... everyone thought they were sprinting but the marathon just got brutal. project teams bailing out now? that's just capitulation noise tbh.

Case solved, the project team is really just hyping up a run away --- $aster's airdrop definitely made people blood profit, but now it looks like a trap --- The entire perp dex sector is almost no one wants it anymore, no wonder they are eager to go live --- Instead of looking from the retail investor's perspective, it's more about watching the project team's "survival instinct" --- The project teams rushing to cash out best illustrate the problem; they jump out before the hype completely dissipates --- Just want to ask, what are those project teams that haven't listed on exchanges doing now --- This idea actually feels a bit like "reading people and choosing dishes," but it doesn't seem wrong either
