Coin Terminal Founder: The IDO Model Needs to Return to the Principle of Prioritizing Retail Investors

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Coin Terminal founder Hatu Sheikh pointed out that the current Initial DEX Offering (IDO) model has deviated from its original intention of serving retail investors, as high thresholds and long lock-up periods limit ordinary users' participation. However, new IDO platforms are innovating by lowering the minimum investment amount to $100 and providing refund mechanisms to re-establish a fair participation mechanism.

Data shows that 64% of retail investors are willing to provide liquidity for early-stage projects. Analysts believe that if IDOs can adhere to the retail-first principle, they will become an important channel for ordinary investors to build long-term wealth.
