Launchpad FOMO Psychology: How IDO Participation Rewires Crypto Trading Mindset
The IDO market reached $2.8 billion in 2025, creating unique psychological conditions that fundamentally alter crypto trading behavior. Unlike spot trading, launchpad participation involves lottery-style selections, community pressures, and guaranteed allocations that rewire risk perception patterns. Participants develop distinct behavioral changes including extended holding periods, altered FOMO responses, and community-driven decision making. Companies such as Lead-Craft have observed these psychological shifts that persist long after initial launchpad experiences, influencing broader market participation strategies.
