### MetaDAO ICO Behavior Study
|
|
|
|
Delphi Digital's study of MetaDAO ICO participant behavior identified that 30-40% of participants are "passives/flippers" who allocate for exposure rather than conviction. This creates structural post-TGE selling pressure independent of project quality, meaning even fundamentally sound ICOs face mechanism-driven headwinds in initial trading windows.
|
|
|
|
**Implications:**
|
|
- Post-TGE token performance mixes project-specific signals with structural mechanism selling
|
|
- Separating quality signals from passive-base liquidation is analytically difficult
|
|
- ICO success (reaching minimum raise) does not predict post-TGE price stability
