Just wrapped up participation in my second ICO this year—2026 is shaping up to be quite the cycle for early-stage opportunities. I've been diving into leveraged prediction markets lately, catching projects at that sweet spot valuation around $20 million before they scale. Angel investing in this space feels different; you're not just betting on tokens, you're backing infrastructure that's still proving its fundamentals. The pace of new projects and the capital flowing into derivative platforms right now is honestly hard to keep up with. Whether it's just hype or actual innovation, time will tell, but the runway for early backers looks promising.
