Looking at 2025 token generation event data, a few patterns stand out. Most projects saw their peak prices either at TGE or within 1-2 days after launch—quick momentum is the name of the game. Here's the interesting part: despite all the criticism around certain major exchanges, projects tied to top-tier platforms statistically performed better than independent launches. The adoption gap is real though. Only about 6-7% of platform-incubated projects actually made it to secondary markets like major spot exchanges or other high-volume venues. It suggests that initial platform backing doesn't automatically translate to sustainable market presence.
