Analysis of the Dilemmas of VC Token Issuance and Emerging Issuance Models
Recently, the token issuance situations of several well-known projects have attracted widespread attention in the market. According to the data, the proportion of institutional investors in the token distribution of these projects generally ranges from 10% to 30%, which has not changed much compared to previous cycles. Most projects still choose to distribute tokens to the community through airdrops, but the actual effect is not ideal. Users often quickly sell off after receiving airdrops, leading to significant selling pressure on the market. This phenomenon reflects issues in the token distribution methods, which have not been effectively improved over the past few years.
From the performance of token prices, institution-led tokens often show a unilateral downward trend after issuance. It is worth noting that a certain project adopted a different strategy, allocating 4% of the tokens through IDO, with an initial market value of only 20 million USD, displaying distinctive characteristics. In addition, there are projects that choose to allocate more than 50% of the total token supply through public.
