A recent project token raised 86 million with impressive 14x oversubscription, yet still trading 13% below its presale price—a puzzling contradiction that tells an interesting market story. The presale round showed strong investor appetite, but post-launch liquidity has been notably weaker. Early buyers aren't facing steep losses thanks to some buying support, but the gap between presale demand and post-TGE interest reveals a common market dynamic: what looks hot during private rounds sometimes struggles to maintain momentum once tokens hit open trading.

It's the same trick again—private placements rush in, but they fall apart once made public. Watching this show over and over has become exhausting.

It's the same old story again. Private placements suddenly buy heavily, and the price drops once it becomes public— a typical pump-and-dump scam signal.

86 has dropped 13% so far. Why has the hype for this presale disappeared?

Another presale hype case that falls flat once it hits the market.

This is the classic illusion of node staking—14x oversubscription can't truly verify demand, and liquidity data is the real indicator. The signal of immediate de-listing upon launch is very clear, indicating that the consensus mechanism hasn't been properly established.

ngl this is just textbook governance failure in action—presale hype never translates when you've got zero tokenomics discipline. 14x oversubscription? that's literally a liquidity attack vector waiting to happen lmao

It's the same old story again, with private equity rushing to buy, and as soon as it goes live, the true nature is revealed—typical scythe harvesting scheme.

Another classic scenario of "private placement overhyped, public offering dragging down," this trick has been played out.

Private placements and the explosive TGE underperforming—I've seen this trick too many times.

Same old trick again, private placements explode and then flop. They call it "weak liquidity" in a nice way. I just want to ask, why should I take the risk?
