🥸 Analysts at CryptoRank posed a good question: does high raise mean big price pump?

Since fundraising has long been a way to evaluate crypto projects, they selected the largest fundraisers in history to examine the dynamics of their tokens:

> FTT is down ~97%. Total raised: $1.75B.
> FLOW is down ~97%. Total raised: $747M.
> CEL is down ~99%. Total raised: $908M.
> SOL is up ~5,000%. Total raised: $360M.
> XRP is up ~6,000%. Total raised: $795M.

I recently asked myself a similar question - I highly recommend everyone reread my article!

Personally, I don’t really care much about the specific list of coins (except for the fact that I can’t remember what the hell MaidSafeCoin even is) — but what really matters to me is this:

1. Compare Bitcoin’s market cap in 2017 and today.

2. The market cap of the utterly useless DOGE is now bigger than the entire top 10 (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and everyone else) back in 2017.

3. You can clearly pinpoint the year DeFi emerged.

4. And the year stablecoins became almost the dominant narrative — which indirectly says a lot about “mass adoption.”

5. My respect to Lido.

I don’t often share yield plays

But sometimes teams invite me to test products before the public launch.
This time, the results look genuinely solid

Prime Vaults is basically an on-chain smart savings account:

•Principal protection + “minimum” yield benchmarked to Aave V3 supply rates:
ETH - 8%, USD - 15%, BTC - 5%
•Unified Yield Model (capital coordinated across strategies instead of siloed vaults)
•Proof-of-reserve style transparency in-app

The high APY comes from a pre-deposit campaign design:

•Each vault is capacity-capped (FCFS)
•Base APY comes from conservative underlying strategies
•A fixed incentive pool is distributed on top → as deposits grow, incentive APY compresses automatically

So early depositors get juiced yields while there’s still room in the vault – then APY trends down toward base + the committed minimum

Nice detail: principal and rewards are separated. You can claim rewards anytime (or auto-compound) without touching the principal!
