CoinFund Partner Says Crypto Industry Still Hasn’t Solved Tokenomics Challenges

Odaily Planet Daily reported that David Pakman, Managing Partner at CoinFund, stated that the crypto industry has yet to solve the biggest challenge in tokenomics: creating native tokens whose value is closely tied to the long-term success of the underlying network. Pakman believes many crypto tokens still trade primarily based on network narratives rather than economic performance, leaving contributors facing uncertainty between short-term compensation and long-term token exposure. He suggests projects use stablecoins to pay contributors in order to attract talent unwilling to bet on the long-term value of the native token. Citing his own experience mining Ethereum, Pakman noted that he benefited from holding ETH, but most projects have failed to generate similar long-term returns.
