1. Before the opening at 23:00, I first checked the bottom of XT.
As soon as the news came out, I didn't rush to analyze the project; I first checked the exchange. VTGO choosing to launch on XT is not a coincidence; it's a signal.
What is XT? Established in 2018, it is an old-school second-tier exchange with 800+ cryptocurrencies, 125x leverage, and no government regulation. CoinListing shows its listing fee is about $30,000, which is considered above average among second-tier exchanges. But the key data is the Trustpilot rating - which has been removed, reason "violating guidelines". Complaints about "unable to withdraw after profits" and "account locked" are rampant on Reddit and Trustpilot.
My judgment: XT is a "high-risk, high-volatility" liquidity pool. It is suitable for launching small-cap DePIN projects because of the large user base, low listing threshold, and strong retail FOMO sentiment. But this also means that the opening volatility of VTGO will be extremely severe, and the degree of interest alignment between the project party and the exchange is questionable.
