Re: Emerging Crypto tech companies that are raising capital #5
Airdrops will always be your safest entry into cryptocurrency and a source of investor insight/ ICO/IEO/TRADING/Research
Hey Cryptofadas,
I'm sorry I missed the Thursday edition; I was hospitalized earlier in the week and hence couldn't write, but better late than never. This week, I wish to spotlight solid crypto projects that are seemingly changing the narratives. One clear one to watch out for is the Base by Coinbase(Base is a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly Ethereum L2 built to bring the subsequent billion users to web3). I mention them because so many cryptos we will talk about are built on base, and the entire TVL is currently $780M with $1.3 daily revenue. That means it is easier to make 10x your investment from a base project than BSC or ETH because few projects are there and are backed by Coinbase, yet they are building seriously and few people are aware.

Week’s focus: What Are Pre-Markets in Crypto and Whales Market
Pre-market platforms allow users to trade tokens that are yet to be issued or launched on trading platforms. Trades are made as a pledge between the buyer and seller to satisfy the order when the token generation event is concluded.
Whales Market is an example of a decentralized pre-market platform. Whales Market is an application that allows users to trade airdrops before they occur. Users can buy and sell points for upcoming airdrops, offering the ability to cash out or leverage points for larger airdrop allocations. The platform supports trading in pre-market listings, OTC markets, and a Points Market for buying and selling future claims on airdrops.
Types of Pre-markets Trading:
a). Pre-TGE markets: The most well-liked pre-markets in the cryptocurrency sector are pre-TGE (Token Generation Event) trading markets, where most of these events are associated with airdrop initiatives. Traders can actively trade tokens for projects before distribution or exchange listing.
b). Point Markets: Point systems are becoming more and more common as well. Users receive points from projects based on their activity on the platforms. Although these points don't have the same intrinsic value as tokens, the issuing project may use them in various contexts and even turn them into tokens as part of a loyalty incentive scheme. Recipients of these points are free to exchange them on points marketplaces. Users can exchange their points for compatible coins on its marketplace. The points market includes time-based custody of committed assets until the trade agreement is completed or the settlement period expires, even though its design is comparable to that of the Pre-TGE market.
