Write a whitepaper, launch a token, do some marketing: that era is largely dead. Sunrise CEO Saeed Badreg says most onchain trading volume in the next 5 to 10 years won't come from crypto-native tokens "It's infrastructure for financial technology. If you want it to grow, you're not going to be trading 10,000 new tokens. People want to buy real things, real companies, companies that are generating value." "Some of them will be crypto companies. 100% that's going to happen. But not all of them will, and not the majority. I don't predict in the next five or 10 years the majority of trading volume onchain is crypto-native tokens. That doesn't make sense to me." "This is a picker's market. You have to pick the companies that you actually think are going to be here and actually have real sustainable businesses." "The previous world of just a whitepaper and release a token and do some marketing around it, I think that's largely dead. People are more sophisticated now and they want to trade real stuff." "Whether it's crypto, whether it's real estate, whether it's equities, whether it's commodities, whatever they're trading, they want it to be real."
