ANALYSIS
Which Crypto Tokens Have Strong Fundamentals?
Bankless Author: David C.

While narrative and sentiment certainly play a huge role in short-term price action for tokens, this cycle’s tides seem to be shifting back to fundamentals.

In the past month, older, revenue-generating protocols with most of their tokens already in circulation have caught a bid. While this may be partially due to the inflow of institutional interest this cycle, there's value in keeping a close eye on tokens with solid fundamentals, whether they be revenue-generating, have most of their tokens unlocked, or, ideally, have both of those properties.

This article will do just that, mapping out protocols and their tokens in all three categories to identify which may attract fundamentals-focused investors.
