From "Token Hype" to "Revenue Reality," the logic of crypto investment is undergoing a brutal shift

On February 9, Bloomberg published an article noting that plummeting cryptocurrency prices and growing market consolidation have laid bare flaws in the crypto industry. Once thriving amid speculative frenzy, the sector has struggled to build sustainable, revenue-generating businesses. Now, crypto venture capital (VC) is shifting toward traditional startup principles: product-market fit, profitability, and long-term user retention. Despite a pro-crypto stance from the White House and a relaxed regulatory environment, the retail-driven VC logic that once fueled the token economy has dried up. Native crypto funds are reorienting toward higher-performing areas, including stablecoin infrastructure and on-chain prediction markets. Some are also expanding into adjacent sectors like fintech and artificial intelligence (AI). But as traditional institutions continue entering the space, expertise in native crypto alone is no longer sufficient. “The market is consolidating around what actual

Backpack Founder: Team Token Allocation Only Unlocks After Company IPO, Preventing Token Dumping to Retail Investors

On February 9, Backpack founder Armani Ferrante took to social media to share: Backpack’s tokenomics revolves around a core principle: no insider dumping to retail. No founder, executive, employee, or venture capitalist should profit from tokens before the product hits “escape velocity.” For Backpack, “escape velocity” is defined as a U.S. initial public offering (IPO). The listing could happen soon, take time, or never materialize—but the team is pushing hard for it. Every time Backpack expands to a new region (EU, Japan, U.S.) or launches a new product (prediction markets, stock trading, card services), it’s a growth opportunity. Tokens act as fuel—just like the points system did in past seasons—to keep igniting new markets. For this to work, there’s a hard rule: the growth value from new token releases must always outweigh the dilution they cause. Here’s how it breaks down: Founders, executives, team members, and VCs won’t get direct token allocations. All “team allocati
