Market dynamics are shifting fast. Companies that sat comfortable for years? They're suddenly rushing toward IPOs. Why now? Well-funded rivals are breathing down their necks, forcing moves they could've postponed forever.

For the longest time, raising massive capital seemed unnecessary. Growth was steady, competition manageable. But when deep-pocketed players enter your turf, survival instincts kick in hard. Market forces work like that—brutal but efficient.

Here's the bigger picture: natural interest rates climbing past 3% isn't some wild forecast anymore. That decades-long era of stagnation and cheap money? It's wrapping up. We're watching capital costs normalize in real-time, and that reshapes everything from valuations to strategic timelines.

This wave of interest rate hikes has really brought out the true colors of many companies. The days of comfortably lying back are completely gone.

Really, this wave of interest rate hikes has directly changed the game rules, and the good days are over. --- The IPO wave is coming... Essentially, it means the cost of financing has gone up, and there's no choice but to grit their teeth and go public. --- Haha, those companies that have been lying flat for years are now panicked. When competitors pour in money, they can't sit still anymore. --- It feels like a large number of companies will be forced to IPO next. A bear market isn't the worst; interest rates are the real kill shot. --- Wait, are they saying that once the natural interest rate exceeds 3%, companies are forced to change their strategies? How much room is left for that? --- Haha, this is called market iron-bloodedness. The comfortable days will never come; someone will always come to disrupt. --- No wonder IPOs have been so frequent lately; it turns out they're all fighting for window periods. --- Interesting, after money becomes more expensive, the mindset towards financing changes. This is the real beginning of differentiation.

In plain terms, the trend has shifted, and the days of sitting back and winning effortlessly are over. --- A 3%+ interest rate truly marks a watershed moment; the honeymoon period of cheap money is over. --- Haha, many companies are forced to go public, and that's the real market lesson. --- They only realized financing is difficult after the fact; how were they so calm before... --- Normalizing capital costs, how many unicorns should wake up? --- Competition getting fierce and they panic immediately shows they lack real confidence. --- Money is getting expensive, and the inflated valuations are finally exposed. --- Deep-pocketed players entering the market show this effect; indeed, real money is necessary. --- This wave of rising interest rates is like a demon-slaying mirror for the chosen ones. --- Having comfortably lied here for so many years, now they are forced to run—serves them right.

The good days are gone. Big companies now have to speed up their上市, or they'll get stuck. Speaking of interest rates, they've really risen. The era of cheap money is truly over. This financing window might really be closing. Companies with stories should start moving now. Wait, isn't this the same old story from a few years ago? Competition intensifies, and forced acceleration—sounds a bit familiar. As financing costs go up, valuations will have to be adjusted downward, right? The normalization of interest rates should have happened a long time ago. Those who only now realize it are the ones who will suffer losses.

Interest rates are rising, everyone is panicking. --- Lying low for so long and now suddenly going public, honestly, it's just fear. --- The era of cheap money is really over. In the past, raising funds was casual; now it requires real effort. --- This wave indeed caught everyone off guard. No one can escape capital normalization. --- When competition intensifies, true nature comes out. Any long-term plans are pointless. --- A 3% interest rate sounds low, but for projects surviving on low costs, it's a death sentence. --- Wait, so now the ones who can still enter the market are actually those with real cash flow? --- I just don't understand why some teams know this day is coming but only act when forced. --- The IPO wave is here; is the next step a wave of closures? --- Deep-pocketed players are really ruthless. Once they enter, the entire ecosystem reshuffles.
