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

Odaily Odaily Planet Daily News CoinFund Managing Partner David Pakman 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 that many crypto tokens are still primarily traded based on network narratives rather than economic performance, leaving contributors facing uncertainty between short-term compensation and long-term token exposure. He suggested that projects use stablecoins to pay contributors in order to attract talent who are unwilling to bet on the long-term value of native tokens. Citing his own experience mining Ethereum, Pakman said that while he benefited from holding ETH, most projects have failed to generate similar long-term returns.
