The 2026 ICO market has become a graveyard for speculative capital. Data from CryptoRank reveals a sobering reality: only 5 out of 34 token launches this year remain in the green, with a dismal 14% success rate. The era of "blind bidding" is officially over, replaced by a market that punishes inflated valuations and lacks patience for vaporware.

Against this backdrop, FlyingTulip's massive $440.5M raise is a high-stakes anomaly. While the sheer scale of funding suggests institutional backing, it also creates an immense pressure to defend a bloated FDV in a liquidity-starved environment. For FlyingTulip to defy the current trend of heavy losses, they must transition from a "funding story" to a "revenue story" almost instantly. In this cycle, capital is no longer a shield against market gravity—it is simply a larger target if the execution fails to match the hype.
