#termmax @TermMax FDV benchmark: how should we price an initial circulating supply of 200 million?
Before $TMX officially opens on August 25, we can refer to valuation metrics from top protocols in similar tracks to help us establish a rational pricing anchor. TermMax has both “fixed-income” and “base lending” attributes. The most direct reference framework is Pendle and Morpho.
Benchmarking category leaders: Pendle and Morpho valuation references
Pendle (the yield trading giant): its current FDV (fully diluted valuation) remains in the multi-billion USD range, while TVL fluctuates around the low double-digit billions. Its core logic is also to lock in and peel off yield.
Morpho (an emerging P2P/vault lending giant): it sparked widespread attention at TGE. Its extremely high capital efficiency and isolated pool design have set a benchmark for the track.
TermMax’s business fundamentals
Breakthrough of $90 million+ TVL: the business data is truly reliable, and it maintains a very high rate of capital retention even in a non-token-minting state.
1.5 million+ registered wallets & 10 EVM chains: its ecosystem coverage and user base far exceed most non-token-emitting protocols.
Reasonable opening-range forecasts and investment games
Combining the initial circulating amount of 200 million tokens (20%), if the opening FDV is set between $200 million and $500 million, then the initial circulating market cap (Circulating Market Cap) would be approximately $40 million to $100 million. Within this range, the token valuation has a very high margin of safety. Below this range, there is a clear value mismatch; above $800 million, we need to be wary of short-term over-discounting.
