Is there a way to value L1 tokens?

The Gwart Show

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. **No Magic Number:** Accept that L1 valuation isn't solved; it's a dynamic mix of utility demand, network cash flows (via fees/staking), and speculative monetary use.
  2. **Three-Lens Analysis:** Evaluate L1s by considering their token's role as a consumable commodity, its claim on network revenue (equity-like), and its potential as ecosystem money.
  3. **Monitor Monetary Evolution:** Keep an eye on the nascent monetary use cases (NFTs, memecoins); while small now, their cyclical growth suggests potential future value drivers.

The System Is Too Levered To Take Real Pain | Arthur Hayes

Forward Guidance

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. The Treasury is the New Fed: Forget obsessing over Powell; watch Treasury Secretary Bessent's moves (buybacks, SLR) for the real liquidity signals.
  2. Bitcoin Wins the Liquidity Game: Persistent global money printing, driven by systemic necessity, provides a structural tailwind for Bitcoin, potentially decoupling it from traditional risk assets like US tech.
  3. Gold Shines Amidst De-Dollarization: Central banks are diversifying reserves into gold, recognizing US Treasuries are no longer truly "risk-free" due to geopolitical weaponization, a trend reinforcing gold's value.

How To Avoid Regulatory Capture In Crypto | Miller Whitehouse-Levine

Lightspeed

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Capture Kills Innovation: Regulations creating excessive costs or complexity, even if providing "certainty," are failures if they price out new entrants and smaller players.
  2. Demand Tech-Neutrality: The only sustainable path for crypto regulation involves creating technology-agnostic rules that ensure a fair, level playing field for all participants.
  3. Focus on Macro Impact: Evaluate regulations not just on specifics but on their overall effect on market entry, competition, and innovation – avoid accidentally building impenetrable fortresses for incumbents.

Are there too many tokens?

The Gwart Show
