this city’s crisis isn’t playing around— the crypto market just surged again to $3T.
Buybacks & revenue-sharing.
Tokens that actually earn money from usage and then buy back their own tokens are gaining traction: $TAO (Bittensor, AI network)—estimated revenue of $28–35M per year from 24 projects, plus a token buyback of $NEAR—Near Intents generates $446K for buybacks, 2x what it was last week
$LIT (Lighter) — $653K buybacks in a week, with 40% of revenue from Robinhood
This becomes the easiest “story” for everyday people to understand: tokens with real utility, not just speculation.
Big stablecoins are also getting more popular.
Binance takes a $100M stake in $USDC (Circle) and extends the partnership by 5 years—making stablecoins even more of the “heart” of the Binance ecosystem.
AI keeps moving forward along with the trend tables—$TAO revenue, and AI tokens still remain magnets.
WHAT’S EXCITING: A LOOK AHEAD
Classic token derivatives—CME plans to launch futures for $BCH and $UNI on October 19.
This means older assets get a “new home” that’s more structured, and typically there’s volatility before listings.
Institutions are going hard—Tom Lee via BitMine just stockpiled $75 million worth of $ETH. When institutions start buying, retail usually follows later.
“Stock token” content is also starting to get attention—on the trending list there are tokenized versions of $NVDA and $META, plus $MET (Meteora), which is up 37%. People like the charts because they feel familiar.
If you’re still new, the most worth learning is the direction of buybacks/revenue and stablecoins—both have a “story” that’s easy to digest and will likely be big themes this year.
Want me to break down one of them more deeply?
For example, how to read tokens with buyback mechanisms, or the latest price updates for $TAO/$NEAR?
