CARDS Airdrop Hype Hits, Market Focus Turns to the “Valuation-to-Revenue Ratio”
Recently, on-chain engagement around Pokemon Cards has been steadily heating up. Riding the expectations for the CARDS airdrop, more and more players are starting to revisit an old question: is the relationship between project valuation and real revenue truly reasonable?
In simple terms, the lower the valuation-to-revenue ratio, the more it suggests that the market hasn’t fully priced in its ability to generate profits. The higher the ratio, the more it indicates that expectations may already be maxed out—so any slight shortfall can easily trigger a pullback. Airdrops are often the first large-scale exposure, but they’re also the stage most likely to push valuations higher.
A few key points are worth watching:
① Before the airdrop, does the spike in hype translate into synchronized growth in TVL and daily active users?
② Are the protocol’s revenue sources diversified, and is the fee structure healthy?
③ Has the valuation already accounted for the post-airdrop “unlock and sell pressure”?
In the short term, sentiment is sentiment—but in the long run, it still comes down to whether the protocol can sustain “blood-making.” The airdrop is a ticket to enter, not the finish line.
