1. Allocation in Tiger’s IPO subscription
I did not participate in Tiger’s IPO subscription directly. Tiger Brokers does provide allocations for retail investors, but availability often depends on demand and subscription size. In cases like GEMI and FIGR, oversubscription tends to be high, making allocations relatively limited.

2. Bullishness on crypto IPO performance
At present, investor sentiment toward crypto IPOs is clearly strong—FIGR rose 30% and GEMI 14% in just one week. Much of this momentum is speculative, fuelled by both retail enthusiasm and institutional appetite for exposure to digital asset infrastructure. That said, performance is uneven: companies with proven business models beyond mere “crypto branding” are more likely to sustain gains, while those relying solely on hype may fade quickly. In short: cautiously bullish in the near term, but selective exposure is critical.

3. Impact of this week’s rate cut
A rate cut typically lowers borrowing costs and increases liquidity, which supports risk assets, including IPOs in emerging sectors like crypto. However, crypto-related equities remain far more sensitive to regulatory developments, adoption trends, and broader market risk appetite than to interest rates alone. So while the cut may act as a tailwind, it is unlikely to be the decisive factor.

4. Profit-taking vs. holding
With FIGR already up 30% and GEMI up 14% in a week, profit-taking is reasonable for risk management. Many early investors lock in partial gains while keeping some exposure to ride further upside. Holding entirely without trimming can be rewarding if momentum persists, but it carries elevated risk given how quickly sentiment in crypto markets can reverse. A balanced approach—scaling out gradually—may be the most prudent strategy.
