According to @CoinMarketCap, 2025 marked a clear shift away from low-float, high-FDV token launches toward the return of launchpads after prior cycles left retail with poor liquidity, limited upside, and sharp post-unlock drawdowns, indicating a recalibrating market.

For trading, the post highlights four concrete screening variables for evaluating launchpad deals in 2025: initial float percentage, FDV at launch, listing liquidity depth, and token unlock schedules, directly reflecting the pitfalls cited in earlier cycles.

According to Miles Deutscher, ICOs gained traction because Ethereum (ETH) was successfully funded via a 2014 ICO and then provided an open-ended smart contract protocol that enabled anyone to pitch blockchain ideas, driving broader participation in token fundraising (source: Miles Deutscher). He outlines a flywheel: a successful ETH ICO led to Ethereum enabling smart contracts, which allowed developers and teams to secure funding and then launch products, reinforcing successive token launches (source: Miles Deutscher). This framework explains why early token issuance clustered around Ethereum and shaped initial liquidity flows across ICOs, a structural context relevant for trading analysis of primary market cycles (source: Miles Deutscher).
