It’s a great point and a frustrating one for many users and investors. In most crypto projects, especially in DeFi and Web3 apps, the token is marketed as a proxy for the project’s success, but there’s often no real mechanism that ties revenue or growth back to token value.
Unlike equities where shareholders benefit from company earnings via dividends or buybacks, many tokens lack utility beyond governance or speculation. Some projects do implement fee sharing, burning, or staking rewards, but even those models can be superficial or unsustainable. This creates a disconnect: the project might be making money or gaining traction, but the token still bleeds.
Ultimately, it boils down to tokenomics and intent. If a project isn’t designed from day one to reward token holders meaningfully, that ambiguity becomes a feature, not a bug. 0 reply
