According to @milesdeutscher, the current ICO boom 2.0 is addressing the prior cycle’s issues through new regulations, proper KYC, retail-first allocations, and launches tied to actual products, setting a tighter baseline for upcoming token sales (source: Miles Deutscher on X, Dec 8, 2025). Based on this statement, traders should prioritize due diligence around disclosed regulatory frameworks, working KYC/AML, explicit retail allocation rules, and live product usage before participating in sales or post-TGE entries (source: Miles Deutscher on X, Dec 8, 2025).
