What Makes a Good Token? | Roundup

Bell Curve

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Token Taxonomy: Old token categories (utility, governance, network) are increasingly irrelevant. Investors now evaluate tokens with equity-like frameworks, focusing on product usage and future growth.
  2. Market Demand: Financial markets currently reward projects implementing token buybacks. This addresses a low-trust environment where investors seek clear, demonstrable value accrual.
  3. Core Value: A token's price ultimately depends on a good business and a product people use. Without genuine demand, buybacks alone are insufficient to offset token emissions or create lasting value.
