As reported by Blockbeats, the DeFi industry is undergoing a fundamental shift as speculative tokens face declining interest, while protocols with real revenue streams gain traction. Over the past five years, many tokens have been overvalued due to limited quality assets and speculative demand, especially from retail investors chasing returns similar to Bitcoin. However, the rise of token platforms like Pump, the emergence of projects with real fundamentals (e.g., HYPE, CRCL), and the outperformance of tech stocks have led to a cooling of the market. Investors are now prioritizing tokens with clear revenue claims and sustainable business models over utility or meme-based assets. The article highlights protocols like Curve Finance and Jupiter as examples of projects aligning token value with protocol income.
