Live Stream in Progress – ICOs Are Back | Ryan & David
ICOs have suddenly made a comeback, but this time, the projects are genuine and reliable, the mechanisms are more robust, and retail investors can participate. @RyanSAdams and @TrustlessState will delve into why @megaeth, @monad, @aztecnetwork, @zama, and @infinex launched public sales simultaneously, how on-chain auctions can compensate for the shortcomings of 2017, and what the clarification of regulatory policies means for US investors participating in ICOs.
They will also explore the rise of the internet-native capital market on Ethereum, the decline of the airdrop mining model, and why fair price discovery may become a key theme in 2026.
