If you’re reading this, then chances are that you’re one of the lucky few who just realized SolCypher doesn’t joke about enriching its users’ experience of trading on Solana.

But there’s a story before we get to why you should have continued to trade with the bot.

This week in crypto, Kitty Kunt (our SolCypher Chief of Staff) in collaboration with a few anons, did a thing. They successfully completed the launch of the ICM project, achieving over 10,000 holders within hours of launch.

ICMdotrun, an incubator for Internet Capital Markets, aims to attract and develop the next set of industry leaders in Web3 products and applications.

From NFTs to Tokens: A Playbook in Real Time

The story didn’t start with a token. It started with a collection of NFTs—quietly minted at 0.2 SOL each as pfps and proof of membership. Few noticed at first. But demand did what demand always does: prices doubled, then tripled, until the floor comfortably sat at 1–2 SOL.

Who said NFTs were dead?

Then came the big move: ICMdotrun launched its ticker and immediately airdropped over $1,000,000 worth of tokens to NFT holders. Imagine that—membership wasn’t just cosmetic, it was financial.

SolCypher Traders Weren’t Left Out

Here’s where things get even more interesting: SolCypher traders woke up to find they were part of the story.

An announcement dropped—active SolCypher traders were eligible for ICMdotrun airdrops. And within hours, screenshots started circulating. Wallets that had only seen trading PnL now had fresh ICM allocations.

The message was clear: trading inside SolCypher is more than just trades—it’s a ticket into the larger ICM economy.

Why Internet Capital Markets Matter

So what are ICMs, really? Think of them as the cultural evolution of capital markets.

• Open to Everyone – No brokers, no barriers. Just a wallet.
  
  
• Fueled by Community – Narratives, memes, and influence drive liquidity as much as fundamentals.
  
  
• Transparent & Competitive – Every trade, every leaderboard rank, every reputation point is visible.
  
  

ICMs reward the bold—the traders and builders willing to make moves before the crowd. But they punish the reckless—those who chase hype without strategy or risk management.

Why Solana Is Their Home

If ICMs are the new arena, then Solana is the perfect stadium.

• Blazing-fast transactions.
  
  
• Almost-zero fees.
  
  
• A memecoin culture that thrives on speed and scale.
  
  

It’s no coincidence that ICMdotrun and SolCypher both chose Solana as their foundation. The infrastructure matches the energy.

What This Means for You

ICMdotrun’s launch is proof that participating early has rewards far beyond speculation. NFTs weren’t just art—they became access. Trading wasn’t just competition—it became eligibility.

So the real question is:

👉 Will you stay on the sidelines, or will you hunker down on this thesis and get in while the engine revs up?

Because one thing’s for sure: we’re watching this play out in real time, and Internet Capital Markets aren’t waiting for anyone.
