Pump raised $600 million in 12 minutes. Then the token crashed⊠and sentiment with it.
In this episode, Delphiâs Yan Liberman, Jason Pagoulatos, and Simon Smockey unpack what really happened, from the lack of investor lockups to the underwhelming post-ICO communication, and what Pump must do now to win back the market.
We also get into whether the âeverything appâ strategy still makes sense, what decentralization means after this cycle, and what tokens can learn from equity markets.
