The IDO market continues to grow rapidly. Especially popular are projects that combine game mechanics with NFT. There are new projects and launchpads, at the same time there is a tendency to reduce the x, and exchanges are trying to intercept the market from launchpads. Launchpads and launchpad Tokens There are more and more launchpads and competition is growing between them.

DAO Maker has changed its strategy and now it is dominated by play to earn projects with a combination of gaming and NFT. The active marketing of the Unicrypt and Dxsale platforms also attract attention. Among those projects that are now especially popular with the community, we can single out GameFi projects in combination with NFT: Meme tokens; Tokens with reward mechanics; Tokens of exchanges. Another trend that manifested itself in the field of cryptocurrency crowdfunding was the high activity on the market of centralized exchanges, including such giants as FTX, OKEX, Huobi, Gate and others. Such an interest of centralized exchanges is due to the fact that they want to attract an additional user base and liquidity. In addition, they may receive commissions from fees and for the placement of projects.
