According to Deep Tide TechFlow news, on March 21, Messari researcher MONK (@defi_monk) pointed out that projects such as RAY, GMX, GNS, and SNX have programmatically repurchased tokens worth millions of dollars, but these tokens are currently valued significantly below their cost.
MONK believes that there are three major fallacies in the programmable token buyback of current cryptocurrency projects:
First of all, buybacks are unrelated to price trends, which are mainly driven by revenue growth and narrative formation;
Secondly, when income is strong and prices rise, projects will consume more cash reserves to purchase tokens at unfavorable prices;
Finally, when prices and revenues decline, projects lack the necessary funding to invest in innovation and restructuring, and even face significant unrealized losses.
Therefore, MONK believes that the current programmable buyback Token strategies of crypto projects are mostly “misallocation of capital” and suggests that projects should focus on full growth or distribute actual value to holders in the form of stablecoins/mainstream coins (such as veAERO or BananaGun).
