At 19:00 tonight, GM (gm.ai), which had been pre-sold for nearly half a year, finally started airdrops and token trading. However, GM briefly touched $0.13 and then plummeted within minutes. As of 20:00, it was quoted at $0.025, a drop of 80% in one hour.

The average distribution of the token during pre-sale was about 1500 GM tokens for every 1 SOL. Based on the SOL price of 190 USDT during pre-sale, the loss ratio was as high as 80%.

Huge pre-sale, turned to Binance

155,000 SOLs pre-sold in half an hour

Since BOME started the trend of decentralized pre-sale fundraising in early March, a number of projects with super high fundraising amounts have emerged one after another, and the fundraising limit has gradually increased from BOMEs 10,000 SOL to tens of thousands.

On March 18, dexter, the founder of Whales Market, posted a message on the X platform (to prevent others from transferring in again, the tweet has been deleted ) to start the pre-sale of an AI project, with a hard cap of 30 million US dollars (about 150,000 SOL). Although there were several cases of high-raised funds running away at that time, because Whales Market was in the limelight at the time and there were official projects such as Loot before Whales Market, dexter received 155,000 SOL in just half an hour.

Transfer to Binance and sell

However, the next day, a user discovered that Dexter had deposited pre-sale funds of approximately 159,802 SOL, worth US$27.64 million, into Binance.

In response, Dexter said in a statement that the transfer to Binance was to sell it into stablecoins to avoid a sharp depreciation of SOL. It also promised to allocate the funds reasonably .

Long seasons: from spring to fall

The project is progressing slowly, so I made a Pump clone

In the following two weeks, Dexter announced the general situation of the project several times in succession, and stated on April 9 that the GM token would be launched soon , but there has been basically no substantial progress since then.

On the contrary, at the end of May, Dexter launched the Pump copycat whales.meme, but because the product was so poorly made, except for the short-term surge of the first token GMCAT, basically no one used it and its lifespan was less than a day.

Pre-market: On the brink of payback

At the end of June, Dexter launched the pre-market of GM tokens on its product Whales Market. The floor price on the second day of the launch was about US$0.08. According to the distribution of 1500 GM tokens for 1 SOL, it was equivalent to 0.83 SOL.

Finally, on July 29, Dexter announced that it would airdrop tokens on August 14. The pre-market price of GM on the Whales Markets briefly exceeded $0.14, and the investment was successfully recovered on paper, but in reality the daily transaction volume was only a few hundred thousand dollars, and the hedging space was extremely limited.

Collecting taxes, swallowing coins, and breaking the issue price

The token economics of the gm.ai project token GM shows that there will be a 6% two-way transaction tax on the purchase and sale of the token . Subsequently, founder Dexter said in response to this matter: All taxes on Meteora will be added back to liquidity, and when CEX listing begins, taxes will be canceled within a few weeks. In the early stages of the project, this tax setting is only valid on DEX.

At 19:00 today, GM tokens started trading, and users also understood why GM needed to collect taxes to add liquidity . Dexter collected a total of 150,000 SOL in the pre-sale, but only added 14,000 SOL to the GM token liquidity pool. As of the time of posting, Dexter has not explained the whereabouts and use of the remaining tokens.

Long-term delays, unclear project prospects, and the founder’s continuous outrageous actions have caused the majority of users to lose confidence in gm.ai and the token. The token price fell below the issue price at the speed of light, and there is still no obvious sign of bottoming out or rebounding.
