OKX recorded the highest ratio of profitable listings, with 27.6% yielding positive returns. Binance’s seven successful listings averaged a profit of 108.4%, the highest overall, while Bitget and Bybit also exceeded 100% returns.

The report emphasizes the impact of the market cap/fully diluted value (MC/FDV) ratio on investor interest, particularly for Binance listings, which performed better due to favorable valuations.
