Long.xyz currently prioritizes asset distribution and scale growth over fee sharing or high-yield incentives
Odaily reports: Nate posted on X that LONG builds liquidity around tokenized stock trading pairs. The main problem in the current crypto market is not a lack of trading activity, but a lack of stability; deep liquidity raises the cost of market manipulation and concentrated supply, and helps the market absorb extreme volatility. Stock trading pairs can serve as a secondary market for tokenized stocks, enabling liquidity providers to participate in trading, arbitrage, and subsequent lending applications.
Taking the AI/NVIDIA trading pair as an example, when NVIDIA stock rises 20%, the USD value of NVIDIA in the liquidity pool will simultaneously rise to approximately 1.2x. Selling the same amount of AI can yield a higher USD value, but the actual effect depends on liquidity depth. Arbitrage activity between AI/NVIDIA, AI/USDG, and NVIDIA/USDG is used to maintain on-chain implied price synchronization; the deeper the NVIDIA liquidity in the pool, the more stable the arbitrage process. Nate stated that at this stage, LONG places greater emphasis on asset distribution and scale growth, rather than immediately providing high yields to holders through fees or dividends. Once asset scale expands, value can be returned to holders through dividends, voting rights, or accumulating NVIDIA. The team previously provided approximately $200,000 worth of liquidity to the AI/NVIDIA pool and LongX-related assets respectively; if included in the community treasury, the value of NVIDIA held could increase by approximately double. Regarding high-tax-rate trading pools and token-holding dividend mechanisms, Nate stated that such models are easily replaced by low-fee pools and rely on highly concentrated and active liquidity management. Therefore, LONG will not support such mechanisms by default, but instead hopes to encourage users to hold for the long term through stock correlation, liquidity, and organic growth.
