CryptoQuant CEO: The era of making money solely through issuing tokens is over; three types of altcoins can still survive.

On June 17th, CoinFeed reported that CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju published an article on the X platform stating that altcoins haven't died out; what has died out are altcoins that rely solely on narratives. The era of making money simply by issuing tokens is over. He believes that altcoins with remaining value fall into three categories: global internet companies with tokenized market layers, DeFi services with real revenue, and projects that align with broader financial trends. Ki Young Ju cited Binance's BNB and Telegram's TON as examples of the first category, noting that they represent real businesses with actual revenue and long-term viability. High-quality DeFi protocols like Hyperliquid, which still generate stable revenue, belong to the second category. The third category includes projects with substantial content, such as stablecoins, RWA, and tokenized stocks.
