The price remains stagnant. Those who live by the charts get frustrated. For me, since I’m here for the tech, price is a consequence, not a goal. Thanks for the info @Salimasbegum

It’s not unusual. It’s standard market practice.
Any major investor (family office, sovereign wealth fund, institutional VC) hates slippage and artificial price pumps. OTC is the standard way to enter the market in large volumes without alerting the market, without paying a high spread, and without triggering retail stop-loss orders. A 6-month lock-up protects those of us who’ve held for years—it prevents an immediate dump. A discount? Of course they ask for one. That’s how it’s been in every crypto private round since 2017. The Foundation (or treasury) sells existing tokens for fiat to fund dev, marketing, and partnerships. It’s not “giving away for free”; it’s raising capital on negotiated terms.

🔥 IOTA is starting to attract interest where it really matters: among international investors who already understand the technological, cryptographic and institutional potential of the project.

And the important point is this: we are talking about players interested in multi-million-dollar token purchases.

According to signals starting to whisper through my financial circuits 🗣️🗣️🤖💅, some relevant and well-known investors within the crypto ecosystem may be exploring exposure to IOTA through Singapore-based funds and investment vehicles focused on strategic, high-risk/high-upside positions in digital asset infrastructure.

So how would they enter?

These investors would not be looking to enter IOTA through exchanges or by slowly buying on the open market. When this kind of capital enters, it enters big, structured and often through the back door.

🏗️ They want structure.
🚨 They want a discount.
⚠️ They want terms.
🔥 They want maximum upside.

💠 And that is exactly why the purchases being considered would be via OTC (Over The Counter): private transactions negotiated directly between large parties, outside the ordinary market. In other words, a fund could acquire several million dollars’ worth of tokens without executing those buys directly through exchange order books.

The downside?😢

👉 That kind of purchase does not immediately push the price up, because it does not create visible buy pressure in the open market.

The upside?😊

👉 It does not necessarily create immediate sell pressure either, because these deals usually include a lock-up.

💠 Lock-up means a contractual blocking period during which the tokens cannot be sold into the market. And according to the signals circulating, both some investors and the IF may be considering lock-up structures starting from 6 months for this type of strategic OTC deal.

And here is the real point:

High-profile private investors are already looking at IOTA. But they are not going to give the market a free ride. They will try to buy cheap, with a discount and favorable terms. That is not bad. That is exactly what professional investors do when they detect asymmetry.

Now the key is for the Foundation to negotiate extremely intelligently:

💎 protect the market
💎 avoid excessive discounts
💎 demand solid lock-ups
💎 attract strategic capital
💎 prioritize investors aligned with the long-term vision

Because IOTA is no longer just a crypto bet.

It is a technological infrastructure with potential in global trade, digital identity, governments, verifiable data and institutional systems. Big investors know it. And that is why they want in. But they want in the way high-performance capital always enters: with leverage, patience and structure.

The question is no longer whether IOTA has potential.
The question is who will manage to position themselves before that potential becomes too obvious.

🔥Private funds in Singapore may already be quietly positioning. 🦁
🔥And in Malaysia, some political antennas may also be picking up the signal. 👀🇲🇾

If it turns into a series of very large OTCs without clear product delivery (TWIN, EVM, actual tokenization running), then it becomes dilution disguised as treasury. But so far, the track record (including UAE) has shown no inflation just reallocation of existing tokens.

No Brasil, uma tendência preocupante se consolidou: sempre que políticos se deparam com conteúdos na internet que não gostam—seja crítica, memes satíricos ou até jogos de palavras—recorrem imediatamente ao Judiciário para exigir a remoção. Essa prática de instrumentalizar os tribunais contra a liberdade de expressão vem se intensificando nos últimos meses.

Isso não é uma defesa legítima contra calúnia; trata-se de censura pura e simples. Ela atinge o cerne da liberdade de expressão, sufoca o debate aberto e corrói os próprios alicerces da democracia.

Um exemplo marcante aconteceu na semana passada, na 2ª e na 5ª Varas Cíveis de Brasília. Juízes determinaram a remoção de publicações no X que se referiam ao Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) como “partido dos traficantes”. Os tribunais classificaram isso como “acusação criminal infundada”. O X explicou que o termo era um trocadilho crítico, uma estratégia comumente usada por ambos os lados. Nesse caso, o trocadilho viralizou depois que o presidente Lula afirmou: “Os traficantes também são vítimas dos usuários”, declaração que o próprio presidente posteriormente retratou. As decisões judiciais ignoraram completamente esse contexto essencial, tratando exagero e ironia como acusações literais.

A liberdade de expressão é essencial para a democracia, mesmo quando incomoda. O X é a única plataforma em que todas as perspectivas têm espaço justo na conversa global.

In Brazil, a troubling trend has taken hold: whenever politicians encounter online content they dislike— whether it be criticism, satirical memes, or even clever wordplay—they immediately turn to the judiciary to demand its removal. This practice of weaponizing the courts against free expression has been escalating in recent months.

This is not legitimate self-defense against defamation; it's outright censorship. It strikes at the heart of freedom of expression, stifles open debate, and erodes the very foundation of democracy.

A stark example unfolded just last week in Brasilia’s civil courts. Judges ordered the removal of posts on X that referred to the Workers’ Party (PT) as the “drug dealers party.” The courts labeled this an “unfounded criminal accusation.” X explained that the term was a critical pun, a strategy that is commonly used by both sides. In this case, the pun went viral after President Lula stated, "Drug dealers are also victims of users," a remark that the President later retracted. The judicial decisions completely disregarded the crucial context, treating exaggeration and irony as literal accusations.

Freedom of expression is essential for democracy, even when it’s uncomfortable. X is the only platform where all perspectives are given a fair place in the global conversation.
