The crypto market is sending mixed signals right now. ICO fatigue is hitting hard—fresh fundraising rounds need serious substance beyond marketing buzz to gain traction. Meanwhile, something bigger is brewing: traditional finance infrastructure is rapidly bleeding into crypto. We're seeing TradFi perpetual futures and spot ETF filings accelerate this convergence at an unprecedented pace. On the stablecoin front, the ecosystem keeps expanding. Recent rollouts like FRNT and launches such as JupUSD, along with emerging standards like TIP-20, suggest the infrastructure layer is maturing quickly. On another note, buyback programs appear to be moderating, signaling shifts in capital deployment strategies across the sector.

ICO is outdated already. What’s truly interesting is the integration of TradFi and crypto, with ETFs coming one after another. It seems the wave of institutionalization is unstoppable.

The ICO scene has been played out long ago. Who still believes in whitepapers nowadays?

ICO schemes have long since become obsolete; marketing gimmicks are everywhere, and they no longer fool people.

The ICO project really should go bankrupt, it's all just money-grabbing schemes.

Although the ICO process is tiring, TradFi stepping in truly changes the game, and this wave of spot ETFs is indeed different.

ICOs are still scamming people, really boring. Just watch how traditional finance flows into it.
