I often hear people say that once a foundation participates in buying, the token is guaranteed to be listed on spot trading. Is this statement reliable?

In reality, it's not that absolute. The foundation's purchasing behavior can indeed demonstrate confidence in the project, but there are many variables between buying and listing on a spot exchange—such as the project's development progress, market enthusiasm, and the exchange's compliance assessment. These are all decisive factors. Some projects invested in by foundations still have limited liquidity in the end, while some seemingly insignificant small coins are first listed on major platforms due to market hype.

Therefore, foundation participation cannot be simply understood as a sufficient condition for listing on spot; at best, it can be seen as a positive signal. The true liquidity and market performance still depend on the market itself.

Does the foundation buying mean it must go on spot? That's too naive, brother. I've heard this set of words too many times. --- Basically, it's just a signal, not an insurance policy. The market is the real boss. --- I've only seen projects funded by foundations die very quickly, while some small coins that no one paid attention to soared first under retail speculation. I really can't understand. --- This sounds like a joke now; I was fooled by this set of words before. --- Market enthusiasm is more important than foundation participation. Don't be blinded by endorsements. --- That's right, foundations are just participants; in the end, it still depends on how the market plays.

Can the foundation buy and go live? Haha, this idea is too naive. The market isn't that simple.

Does the foundation buying mean it can go on spot? Ha, I've heard this explanation too many times, it's time to wake up. --- Basically, it's just a signal, not a guarantee margin. --- I've seen projects heavily held by foundations die very quickly, and I've also seen unknown small coins break out first through hype. The market is the true judge. --- Liquidity, it's not something the foundation decides. --- Instead of watching the foundation's moves, it's better to check the exchange review progress and community enthusiasm. --- Who still believes in foundation endorsements these days... the tricks are all the same. --- It's not that simple, the crypto world is full of tricks.

actually, this is just foundation performance being priced in before we even know if the token model is sustainable lol. think of it like traditional vc funding—money doesn't guarantee product-market fit, ceteris paribus the actual mechanics matter way more

Fund purchases ≠ guaranteed spot market success. I've seen through this logic long ago; the market is the real boss.

After all these years, a foundation endorsement isn't a 100% guarantee. Ultimately, it still depends on whether the market is willing to buy in.

Can a foundation buy and go live? Uh... that idea is a bit too naive. To put it simply, it still depends on whether the market buys into it or not. Having a foundation’s endorsement alone is far from enough.

Can the foundation buy and go live? Dream on, buddy. I've heard this story too many times. The market is the boss, not the foundation.
