Metadao's latest funding round has concluded, this time for the Ranger project. The data is quite interesting: the committed amount was as high as $87m, but only $8m was actually raised. What's more intriguing is the reaction from the prediction markets — out of 15 Ranger-related Polymarket markets, 8 of them ended up being profitable for the bullish side.

The market sentiment shown in this funding round and the actual participation level indeed have a gap. From the significant reduction from the committed amount to the actual funds raised, to the nearly 53% hit rate of bullish predictions in the markets, it indicates that community attitudes towards the project are quite divided. The disparity in funding scale is worth noting, as it may reflect the market's increased caution when selecting high-quality projects.

87M promised only 8M received, how embarrassing is that difference To be honest, Polymarket's 53% hit rate is no different from flipping a coin Projects that even prediction markets can't accurately forecast, I have even less confidence in It's the old routine of loud slogans but no money to follow up

87m promised only 8m received? That's a huge gap, feels like everyone is just waiting for others to pay first. The tone varies; this is probably the real market reaction. Polymarket having over 50 bullish bets is ridiculous. Who believes in that? This is a clear sign that funding is cooling down. Everyone has learned to be smarter. Ranger might be in trouble this time. Let's wait and see.

87 to 8, the shrinkage is ridiculously off, Polymarket still hasn't fully copied it --- Promising 87 but actually giving only 8, the gap is a bit huge --- Prediction markets are betting on rise and fall, which means no one truly trusts this project --- The funding plunge is so severe, what are investors thinking? Is this testing risk tolerance? --- Ranger directly pushed the sincerity level to a negative value this time --- The promised amount and actual fundraising are so different, is Metadao screening investors or are investors screening projects? --- The hit rate for bullish predictions is 53%, how is it so coincidental, feels like rolling dice --- This kind of fundraising method feels a bit mysterious, 87 to 8, the ratio makes me doubt life --- If it weren't for Polymarket's data, I really couldn't tell what the community's attitude is towards this --- Such a shrinkage in funding, is there still any parental influence afterward?

87m promised to raise only 8m, the gap is huge, it feels like just a paper promise. By the way, Polymarket's 53% win rate isn't anything special, just guesswork level. Ranger is really a divisive project, some are optimistic while others are fleeing, a typical high-risk asset. The funding amount has plummeted so badly, you have to ask whether the project team is bluffing or investors have cooled down. They say the market is cautious and selective, but I think no one truly believes in this project anymore. This ratio difference is not just a little or two, it's basically market feedback. Metadao's hand was played poorly, the promises are so disconnected from reality, who would dare to trust again? If you ask me, the funding market is starting to wake up, which is actually a good thing.

$87m Signal calls reach $8m, such a gap... Looks like everyone verbally supports it, but their wallets are very honest. --- Polymarket, 8 bullish bets made? Feels like just throwing a tantrum, no one truly believes in this project. --- The promise is more than 10 times worse than the reality, how unpopular must it be, hilarious. --- Funding shrinking so significantly indicates the market is really starting to get serious; it's no longer an era where money is poured into everything. --- With the community so divided, Ranger might need to seriously reevaluate itself this time.

87 to 8, what a huge gap, how did it shrink so much? Ranger really had a reputation crash this time The promised funding is seriously delayed, it feels like everyone is watching and hesitating The prediction market has no consensus, which makes it very difficult to hold It seems that not many people are truly optimistic about this round of funding I already said we should watch Polymarket's reaction, and I was right People's confidence has dispersed, who dares to trust when promises and reality are so far apart? A 53% bullish rate indicates a very hesitant attitude This is the real market test, the hype can't be sustained anymore
