Correct, i think investing a new projects is more risk than profit but if you will research before invest in new project, then you can make profits because of course some new project are looks promising and listing so many top tier exchanges. If OscarSwap is a new DEXs project, so OP's need to analyze about it’s future.
It is not only in your own perception, it is the fact that investing in new projects will be riskier. That's why many people prefer to invest in top coins, they are trying to minimize the risk. Although there are some new projects that look like to have a great potential in the future, it doesn't guarantee the success. There are many projects that fail or stop suddenly after they are listing in the first exchange. Even it is listed in one of the top exchanges, don't trust them 100%. Moreover if they only list their tokens/coins on Dexs, it is totally not a guarantee.
