The IPO market in 2025 is entering a recovery phase, but the wealth growth brought by this wave of enthusiasm is not very stable. Data shows that a recent batch of new billionaires had shareholdings worth over $10 billion on the first day of their company's listing, but in the following weeks or even months, these fortunes shrank by an average of 23%, highlighting a significant gap between growth expectations and reality.

Interestingly, the Asian IPO market shows a clear polarization pattern. India's IPO market is booming, with activity continuously increasing; Vietnam is also not willing to be left behind, with GSM companies planning to expand overseas listings and setting a target market value of $20 billion; meanwhile, Thailand's IPO market is relatively quiet; Japan's situation is even more noteworthy— the number of small-scale IPOs has fallen to a 12-year low, indicating a sluggish market. This IPO wave may seem hot, but it actually tests investors' judgment.

It's that kind of false prosperity again. Doubling on the first day and then crashing to Muggles in the second week, the套路are all the same. That's why I keep saying IPOs are just gambling; luck plays too big a role. India is soaring wildly, Vietnam cheering, Japan lying flat. The division in Asia this time is indeed remarkable. A 23% shrinkage is not excessive. I've seen halved values before, and it feels normal now. The wealth inflated by the first-day bubble was always虚, and debts will eventually need to be repaid. Japan's 12-year low sounds a bit heavy, it's uncomfortable. The IPO market is like a照妖镜, revealing who truly knows how to manage finances and who is just a bagholder. The new elites shouldn't get too cocky; this wave of wealth shrinkage is probably teaching them a lesson. Once you see through it, the higher the IPO热度, the more警惕 I become.

23% shrinkage? This is the so-called "paper millionaire" effect. The first day was glorious, and then it was slapped in the face.

23% shrinkage... This is the "normal fluctuation" that Web3 people love haha Japan's IPO drops to a 12-year low, which is quite concerning. Is the Asian market so divided? India and Vietnam are booming, Thailand and Japan are cold. What does that mean... money is flowing into emerging markets The first day’s 1 billion is gone in a few months. Isn’t this just the high-risk game of traditional finance? We in the crypto world are already used to it Genuine investment insight? Or gambling mentality? Hehe

It's the same old illusion, $1 billion on the first day of listing, then it evaporates by 23%. I'm tired of this routine. Japan is already cooling down, yet people are still hyping the IPO wave. Wake up, everyone. Vietnam's $20 billion target... just listen, don't really believe it.
