Trump Repeats "Iran is Screwed": Not Even a Penny to Be Received

On June 19, IOSG Founding Partner Jocy posted that a token is essentially a form of debt, advising projects to “only issue tokens when absolutely necessary and delay issuance for as long as possible.” Based on IOSG’s internal analysis, between 2024 and 2026, the median total cost for projects to list on major exchanges is roughly $8 million, including structural costs like a security deposit. While this figure won’t apply to every project, it highlights a problem that flew under the radar during the last bull market: issuing a token isn’t the same as an exit—too often, it only amplifies future liquidity pressures. A project’s current fundraising valuation dictates what milestones it must hit over the next three years to uphold that valuation in the next market cycle. If those milestones can’t be met, the project shouldn’t seek additional funding.

June 19 – The SpaceX equity token on PreStocks is currently trading at $116.25, representing a 35.3% discount to the public market’s SPCX stock price of $179.61. PreStocks previously explained that due to the underlying shares remaining in a lock-up period, liquidity is temporarily constrained, leading to the SpaceX token’s discounted trading relative to the public market share price. This discount is determined by market pricing and may narrow as the underlying shares gradually unlock over a six-month timeframe. Current holders can sell their tokens at this discount, while new buyers may purchase the same token at the identical discounted rate.
