1. Exclusive: Celestia OTC sells coin at $3, market is hot, community criticizes
The community generally criticized the Celestia Foundation's OTC coin sales and did not make any necessary transparent disclosures to the community.

The price of the TIA OTC token sale is $3, one-third of which will be unlocked on October 31, and the rest will be unlocked linearly in the next year. The market response to the sale was very hot, and many institutions that hoped to obtain a share did not get it or only got a very small share in the end.
