This Week's Crypto Watchlist: TGE, Voting, ICOs, and Macro Waves Heating Up

The market is not lacking opportunities – only lacking those who prepare in advance. This week is a convergence of ecosystem updates, token unlocks, governance proposals, and macro risks. Here are the names to watch closely:

🔎 Notable Project Events $SYRUP – Maple’s investor meeting scheduled for February 26. Insights on strategic direction, cash flow, and expansion plans could directly impact market expectations for Maple Finance. $UNI – Proposal to enable “fee switch” for more pools on Uniswap will conclude voting tomorrow. If approved, this could be a significant step in revenue sharing for holders, changing how the market values $UNI in the long term. $NEAR – NEARCON conference opening on February 23. Announcements about technology upgrades, AI, modular blockchain, or strategic partnerships are common at this event. Price volatility around the conference is to be expected. MegaETH – Confirmed upcoming launch of a points program. History shows that point accumulation mechanisms often serve as “stepping stones” for future airdrops. FT (Flying Tulip) – TGE happening on February 23. Initial trading phases often experience sharp fluctuations due to profit-taking pressure and short-term FOMO. $JUP – Proposal to halt additional token issuance for Jupiter has just been approved. Reducing inflationary pressure on supply can help strengthen long-term confidence, but price reactions also depend on overall market liquidity. $DIME – Paradex plans to launch the DIME token within the next few weeks. Derivative exchange tokens are usually valued based on expected volume and revenue sharing. $CHIP / USDai – ICO starts today. With a valuation of $300 million, many investors consider the issuance price quite high. In a market where liquidity is no longer abundant as at the start of the cycle, high valuation could create selling pressure post-listing. $S (Sonic) – Preparing to launch Spawn – an AI chatbot supporting dApp development with natural language. The AI + Web3 integration trend still has plenty of room, but it’s important to monitor actual product development rather than just marketing stories. 🌍 Macro Factors Not to Ignore The probability of the US taking military action against Iran before March 31 is estimated at around 55%. Donald Trump has announced plans to soon unveil a new trade policy. Geopolitical instability and trade policy uncertainties can cause significant volatility in risk assets, including crypto. Short-term capital flows may react sensitively to industry news. This Week’s Strategy: Observe First, Act Later Events ≠ immediate price increases. High valuation ICO ≠ safe opportunity. Good news ≠ no selling pressure. Markets often “attack” those who enter positions out of FOMO. Focus on liquidity, volume, and price reactions after events rather than betting before everything is clear.
