Dragonfly 管理合伙人 Haseeb 在 X 平台发文表示，通过使用 Claude Code 工具分析币安公告的所有代币发射数据，研究结果显示，在牛市与熊市期间上线的代币在统计学表现上没有显著差异（Mann-Whitney p = 0.81）。这意味着牛市和熊市代币的表现差异与噪声无异，代币上线的时机并不重要。其指出，由于人们倾向于在牛市上线代币且牛市资金更充裕，存在样本偏差，因此不能简单观察前 100 名代币中牛市上线代币的比例。该研究通过对比币安上币公告中约 200 个代币项目（剔除 RWA、稳定币、LST 等非独立定价代币）在牛市、熊市及中性市场下的相对表现，证明了这一结论的稳健性。此外，他补充表示，虽然熊市上线具有人才竞争小、服务商便宜、交易所上市竞争压力小等优势，而牛市更有利于代币销售，但总体而言这些因素相互抵消。Solana 在 2020 年 3 月“新冠崩盘”后 4 天上线即是典型案例，开发者应专注于产品交付而非选择时机。其原话为 It doesn't matter that much when you launch.
