2026 Token Financing Ecological Changes: From Fixed Valuation to Dynamic Pricing, What Kind of Projects Can Survive?

Question

[Coin World] The token sales market in 2026 is about to change drastically.

From the perspective of financing methods, the old fixed valuation approach is gradually becoming unviable, replaced by a dynamic pricing model—project financing is akin to spot trading, with prices fluctuating in real-time in response to market reactions. The relationship between exchanges and launch platforms will also become closer, deeply integrated into a unified service, allowing investors to participate in trading more smoothly directly from financing.

Institutional allocation is no longer optional, but a standard feature. Exchanges will also actively provide liquidity guarantees to ensure that there won't be a crash-like decline after a project goes live—this is beneficial for both investors and project parties. The logic of allocation weight considerations is also changing; it no longer just looks at who has a loud voice, but rather who has real interaction records on-chain and who has actual on-chain capabilities.

How to build a moat? Compliance is the foundation, but more importantly, it's the community lock-up mechanism. When a bear market arrives, the total issuance will be strictly controlled (to avoid a crash), but the scale of individual financing will actually expand, meaning that the number of participants decreases, but each receives a larger share.

What does a project that can ultimately survive look like? It must have three things: first, a real and usable product; second, a clear revenue model; third, the use case of the token cannot be empty — it must have solid on-chain applications to support it. All three are essential.

Dynamic pricing sounds good, but there are probably only a few projects that can truly survive, as there is too much on-chain data manipulation.

Here we go again, can dynamic pricing really prevent dumping? I doubt it.

Institutional allocation is standardized, and we retail investors are still suckers.

On-chain interaction records ≠ having potential, don&#39;t be fooled by this new rhetoric.

Is the moat relying on Lock-up Position? Investors who still believe this in 2026 need to wake up.

Is volume no longer important? What do those marketing Large Investors say?

Seamless connection from financing to trading sounds great, but it&#39;s just an upgraded trap.

Compliance foundation? Ha, which project has truly achieved this?

This model will only help good projects survive while bad projects die faster.

Here comes the hype for retail investors again, I&#39;ve heard this trap last year.

Dynamic pricing sounds sophisticated, but it&#39;s just another new trick for institutions to play people for suckers.

Real interaction records? Ha, the bots have already rolled up.

Coming again to paint a big pie? Dynamic pricing sounds advanced, but isn’t it just another way for institutions to play people for suckers?

The dumping guarantee is really funny, an exchange actively providing liquidity? Whoever believes that is foolish.

I like the on-chain interaction records, but the problem is that large investors have already filled up, and retail investors still have no chance.

Compliance + Lock-up Position... Sounds like they want to freeze our coins for a year or so, waiting for the listing to catch a falling knife, right?

In 2026, those that can survive are still the projects with the most financing and the strongest endorsements, which have nothing to do with us retail investors.

Dynamic pricing trap... sounds like institutions are still playing people for suckers, just with a different trick.

Everyone is hyping it up, but when the Bear Market hits, it still crashes, and no Lock-up Position mechanism can stop the project party from doing a Rug Pull.

Dynamic pricing is... to put it bluntly, it&#39;s still to prevent dumping, but can it really prevent it?

It sounds like on-chain interaction data has become a hard indicator, which is actually fairer for us retail investors.

With institutional standard configuration and liquidity assurance, it feels like financing in 2026 will be much more professional than now, but will the threshold be higher?

Compliance + Lock-up Position as a double insurance, the project party has quite a bit of pressure.

The last sentence wasn&#39;t finished, leaving us in suspense.
