It’s good to start the year with numbers up📈 But the Q4 2025 downtrend is something worth reflecting on. What we saw toward the end of last year wasn’t just volatility. It was a signal. ▸Presales not getting filled ▸Tokens losing 60%+ at TGE ▸Liquidity rotating faster than ever This isn’t retail losing interest. It’s retail getting smarter. The market is quietly shifting from "what's trending?" to "why should I buy this?" For the first time in a while, fundamentals are baked into the decision-making process: ▸What problem does the product actually solve? ▸Who is using it? ▸How does it generate revenue? Projects without clear answers are being punished immediately. And that’s why Q4 2025 matters. It’s an early indication of where the industry is heading in 2026. ▸Narratives alone won’t carry launches anymore. ▸Community alone won’t defend price. Strong fundamentals will define investment decisions this year. We are looking forward to how this will shape the investment landscape going forward. 📱 Share your views 📖 YAY Network Official Channels Website | Twitter | Telegram chat | Announcements

CT says it's ICO season, but the numbers tell another story Fewer new teams are being backed as monthly funding rounds in crypto sit at an all-time low Builders have spent years optimizing for fundraising, not users; for tokens, not products Until crypto rebuilds around real user demand ICO season will stay a timeline illusion, not a market reality 📖 YAY Network Official Channels Website | Twitter | Telegram chat | Announcements

Are airdrops slowly being replaced by ICOs? Since the beginning, airdrops were crypto’s go-to growth strategy But after endless Sybil farms, mercenary hunters, and instant TGE dumps, the model hit a wall Projects built massive communities that disappeared as soon as they launch Now a new pattern is emerging Public sales that carry the same early-access energy as airdrops, but with real commitment When people commit capital, they behave differently They tend to read updates, join governance, and stick around through volatility And teams get something airdrops never offered: aligned holders Airdrops, if done right, can still reward usage, testing, and core community contributions However, ICO-style public sales are becoming an easy way for teams to know who has skin in the game Maybe ICOs aren't replacing airdrops after all. Maybe it's finally fixing what broke 📱 Share your thoughts 📖 YAY Network Official Channels Website | Twitter | Telegram chat | Announcements

Despite the Black Swan event of October 10 October recorded the highest fundraising inflows in crypto over the past six months While social sentiment and timelines may suggest it’s all over, the data tells a very different story Builders are quietly building the next big thing VCs are actively backing the next major narrative Cycles are not defined by noise They’re defined by conviction and capital flow.
