Interesting market phenomenon: Betting on ICO fundraising scale returns on Polymarket actually outperformed the returns from purchasing the tokens themselves. What does this reflect?
First, the MetaDAO premium is not as strong as advertised. The secondary market pricing shows a clear deviation from the expectations set in the primary market, which warrants attention.
Second, ICO project teams should proactively adjust their fundraising strategies and move toward a more cautious and fair valuation system. The current sky-high funding rounds are clearly detached from fundamental support.
Third, the most telling point is: betting on market pricing is more profitable than betting on token appreciation. This phenomenon itself is a signal — the rational pricing mechanism of prediction markets is actually more transparent than traditional token issuance. The market is voting with its feet, telling us how ICOs should self-correct.

This is a reentrancy attack. The logic of the primary market has been completely broken by the price discovery of the secondary market. The pricing mechanism of prediction markets is more honest than token issuance. What does this indicate? — Traditional ICOs are essentially information asymmetry vulnerabilities, now exposed by oracle platforms like Polymarket.

Betting prices are actually more attractive than buying coins? How outrageous is that? It shows that ICO valuations have long been a mess.

The prediction market is starting to backlash against the tokens. This is good news. The exorbitant funding rounds should really wake people up.

To be honest, betting on prediction market returns surpassing directly buying coins, this guy has really exposed himself... The current ICO valuation system is purely self-deception, wake up everyone.

Is betting on prediction markets more stable than betting on token price increases? It shows that this ICO fundraising was indeed a sham.
