A $300m FDV valuation alone doesn't tell the full story. What really matters is understanding the underlying deal structure. The early exit clause in this case functioned as essentially a free option—a red flag when you dig into the mechanics. It's a classic example of how options pricing complexity gets overlooked in hype cycles. The terms might look reasonable on the surface, but when you decompose the financial structure, the risk distribution tells a different picture. These kinds of embedded features are worth scrutinizing before jumping in.

Well said, these hidden clauses are really easy to be fooled by, and early exit clauses are just a blank check.

Early exit clauses are a trap; they look reasonable but are actually free options? I really can't hold back anymore, this trick needs to be exposed thoroughly.

Valuation figures are misleading; the key is to look at the detailed terms. Otherwise, you're just giving money to the market makers.

That's right. These early exit clauses are essentially disguised free options. They seem harmless but can be quite upsetting. Most people just look at the valuation numbers and rush in, without considering the structural issues behind them.
