Cryptocurrency Market Shifts Focus Towards Performance-Driven Tokenomics

The cryptocurrency market is undergoing significant changes in tokenomics, reflecting the industry's shift towards performance-driven models.

Aptos, a top DeFi chain, has introduced a hard cap of 2.1 billion tokens and reduced staking rewards to 2.6%. The network plans to use fees for programmatic token buybacks, linking supply issuance to network utilization rather than subsidy inflation.

Arbitrum is expanding its real-world asset integration, with projects like ETHZilla's Eurus Aero Token I demonstrating the potential of this approach. However, the network is facing price pressure, with ARB declining over 70% in value since early 2025.

APEMARS, a new project, has gained traction with its structured presale model and 6,914%+ pricing gap between Stage 9 and listing prices. The project's presale has raised $245,000, with 11.8 billion tokens sold and 1,180 holders recorded.

The APEMARS model provides a transparent and structured approach to token pricing, contrasting with the open market purchases of Aptos or Arbitrum. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, investors are looking for projects that offer clarity and execution in their tokenomics and business models.
