The evolution of the presale market is worth reviewing. In the early days, OTC trading groups on Telegram and Discord were the main channels for accessing unlisted projects. Later, independent presale platforms emerged, with platforms like Whales Market beginning to specialize in hosting such transactions. Then, leading CEXs saw the opportunity and launched their own presale trading features.

Today, Polymarket is gradually evolving into a primary presale trading scene. On this platform, market participants can see the projected FDV of projects, the community’s perception of the project’s value, and various investors’ expectations for future performance. This transparency of information has moved the presale market from the shadows to relative clarity, reflecting the increasing demand among crypto market participants for price discovery mechanisms. From small private chats to open markets, the presale ecosystem is undergoing a structural iteration.

Nah, the Polymarket thing is just for fun; real alpha still depends on insider information.

Wow, Polymarket has really become the main venue for pre-sales? The dark pool trading that used to be in those TG groups is now out in the open, and transparency has indeed improved.

Wait a moment, let me see how the money flows in Polymarket... From private chats to public, this transition is a bit too smooth.

The feeling of hiding in the group chat and secretly searching for information is really gone now. Now that everything is out in the open, I actually feel a bit uncomfortable. I can see through Polymarket's approach—that is, breaking down the advantage of information asymmetry, so retail investors can finally see things clearly. Going from dark to light sounds nice, but in reality, it just means even more intense competition in cutting the leeks. Pre-sales are already on exchanges, so how can it still be called pre-sale? They should change that name. Upgraded pricing mechanism? I just want to know if the risk of rug pulls has also increased.
