The REV Debate: Real Metric or Fake News? Jon, Bread, & Andy8052

Bankless

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. REV is a starting point, not the finish line: It's a useful, objective measure of immediate user willingness to pay for blockspace but doesn't encompass all value drivers of an L1.
  2. App-layer eats L1 lunch (eventually): Expect applications to get better at internalizing value (like MEV), potentially reducing direct REV flow to L1s, making app success crucial for the L1 ecosystem.
  3. Narrative & adoption still trump pure metrics: For now, perceived momentum, user growth, and developer activity (like on Solana) can heavily influence L1 valuations, often overshadowing strict adherence to metrics like REV multiples.

  1. Investing in specialized crypto treasury vehicles offers exposure not just to the underlying asset but also to a strategy of active accumulation and yield enhancement. These companies argue their NAV premiums are justified by their operational capabilities and future growth prospects.
  2. NAV Premiums Signal Future Growth: Market premiums on crypto-holding companies often reflect expectations of continued asset accumulation, not just current asset values.
  3. Expertise Drives Alpha: Specialized operational capabilities, like in-house validator management, can generate significantly higher yields (20-40% more) than readily available retail options.
  4. Sophisticated Strategies Outperform Simple Holding: For investors seeking optimized exposure, vehicles offering complex, managed strategies for asset accumulation and yield can provide an edge over direct, passive investment.
