One of the reasons why $500,000,000 was raised so quickly during the USDm stable token deposit event was the perception of a lack of risk. @megaeth likely initially thought everything would be fine with a $250 million allocation. What they overlooked was FOMO. Mega had already been closely followed by thousands of people and the community, including liquidity providers, developers, and active web3 users who trade Degen. (And still are.) They believed that owning the network's stable token would bring numerous internal advantages. They believed that providing initial liquidity, participating in the first meme token sale, participating in the first stable token minted NFT mint. Furthermore, $1 deposited on the ETH mainnet would translate into $1 USDm on the Mega mainnet, and the risk was close to zero. After the initial $250 million allocation suddenly expired and the Sonar section was blocked for KYC, tweets from users who couldn't deposit funds, along with tweets of joy from users who could, fueled FOMO. After the Mega team announced the resumption of deposits, more users began waiting in front of the screens to make deposits. In reality, it's believed that the majority of deposits were sent by a small, fortunate minority, including bot traders, OTC desks, large funds, and high frequency scripts. The Mega team has recognized the injustice of this and will likely begin issuing refunds next week.
