Trove's move raised some eyebrows in the community. The project extended its ICO by 5 days right after hitting the original deadline, then abruptly reversed the decision. The flip-flop left prediction market traders on Polymarket confused—odds swung wildly from near-zero to 80% and back down to zero.

For participants watching from the sidelines, the chaotic handling killed the momentum. Some who were planning to accumulate at TGE after missing the ICO opted out entirely. Whether this was a calculated business decision or poor communication, it definitely rattled confidence in how the project handles commitments.
