BitGo Targets Nearly $2 Billion Valuation As It Prepares For IPO In The US

Crypto custody firm BitGo is targeting a valuation of up to $1.96 billion in its upcoming U.S. IPO, planning to raise $201 million by offering 11.8 million shares priced between $15 and $17. Despite a volatile market environment and recent selloffs, BitGo aims to leverage positive momentum in early 2026. The company, which secured a national trust charter from the OCC, has enlisted Goldman Sachs and Citigroup as lead managers for the offering. It plans to list on the NYSE under the ticker "BTGO," joining other major crypto firms entering public markets.

A Game with No Winners: How to Break the Deadlock in the Altcoin Market?

The altcoin market is currently trapped in a "four-lose dilemma" due to flawed token distribution models. The prevalent low initial circulation strategy, designed to artificially maintain high fully diluted valuations (FDV), has backfired. It creates a scenario where centralized exchanges, token holders, project teams, and venture capitalists all ultimately suffer. Exchanges face community backlash from poor token performance, holders experience price collapse as supply unlocks, projects damage the industry's fundraising capacity, and VCs see their long-term investment channels deteriorate. Market responses, such as the 100% initial circulation of meme coins and the community-centric MetaDAO model, have failed to provide sustainable solutions, often creating new problems like extreme volatility or alienating talented founders. A potential path forward requires rebalancing interests: exchanges should shift from arbitrary lockups to KPI-based unlocks; holders should demand transparency and control over major decisions without micromanaging; projects must only issue tokens with clear utility and product-market fit; and VCs should stop forcing token launches on every project. The next 12 months will be challenging as the market absorbs the last wave of excess supply from the 2021-2022 funding boom. However, this digestion period, coupled with more selective token launches and evolving standards, could lead to a healthier market. The long-term viability of the altcoin model depends on avoiding a "lemon market" where only failing projects issue tokens, while successful ones opt for traditional equity. Despite current hardships, tokens retain unique advantages for driving growth and building loyal communities when implemented correctly.

Has the Era of Project Buyback Bonuses Really Come to an End?

"Project Buybacks: The End of an Era?" In traditional finance, stock buybacks are often seen as a confidence booster. However, this strategy has largely failed to produce positive results in the Web3 space. Recently, Jupiter co-founder SIONG proposed halting $JUP's buyback program after the project spent over $70 million on repurchases with little positive impact on the token price. Similarly, Helium's founder Amir Haleem announced an end to their buyback, calling it "throwing money into a black hole." Data from 2025 shows a collective downturn for major projects that executed buybacks. Despite Hyperliquid spending $716 million and others like Pump.fun, LayerZero, Raydium, and Sky also making significant investments, most tokens continued to decline in value, raising questions about the efficacy of buybacks. The debate highlights a split in perspectives: some founders advocate reallocating funds towards user acquisition and product development to strengthen fundamentals. Others, like DeFi OG CM, argue that buybacks are inherently beneficial by reducing circulating supply, though they don't guarantee short-term price increases. Critics, including Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz, view buybacks as a pessimistic mechanism, signaling a lack of better growth opportunities. Former Aave executive Ajit Tripathi called the buyback narrative "the most value-destructive play after memecoins." Alternative strategies are emerging. Selini Capital's Jordi Alexander emphasizes the importance of execution timing, suggesting dynamic buybacks based on price-to-earnings ratios rather than repurchasing at inflated valuations. Solana's Anatoly favors long-term capital accumulation through staking mechanisms to reward long-term holders and dilute short-term speculators. The consensus is evolving: buybacks alone are not a solution. Effective token value management requires strategic financial planning—buying low, reserving capital during high valuations—and, crucially, building fundamental product value and user demand to sustain long-term growth. Without solid fundamentals, buybacks merely become an exit liquidity for short-term traders.

How Do 99% of Non-Profit Web3 Projects Survive?

99% of Web3 projects lack cash flow and survive by relying on token sales and external funding rather than actual revenue. These projects often prioritize early token generation events (TGE) and aggressive fundraising over product development, leading to inflated valuations unsupported by real economic activity. The core issue is the "runway period"—the time a project can operate without revenue. Without sustainable income, projects eventually exhaust their resources and fail. Even marketing efforts become short-term fixes that can't compensate for a non-viable product. A comparison with the top 1% of profitable Web3 projects—which maintain reasonable price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios—highlights the unsustainable valuations of the remaining 99%. The system incentivizes founders to exit early via token unlocks and sales, regardless of project success, while investors bear the losses. This creates a distorted cycle where financial engineering outweighs genuine value creation.

6th Man Ventures Founder: How to Find the Most Valuable Crypto Projects?

Founder of 6th Man Ventures discusses the viability of the "dual-token + equity" structure, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all answer. The key is backing an exceptional, long-term-focused team committed to building a founder-led, enduring enterprise, similar to Binance’s Changpeng Zhao. He argues that for application-layer projects requiring sustained leadership, tokens often underperform equity. Many DeFi 1.0 founders have departed, leaving DAOs and part-time contributors in "maintenance mode," struggling with slow and ineffective decision-making. In contrast, equity isn’t always superior—tokens enable unique utilities like fee discounts, staking for airdrops, and access rights, which equity cannot easily replicate. "Ownership tokens" currently face limitations in product integration and legal recognition in the U.S. due to regulatory gaps. However, a hybrid model is proposed: an equity entity operates on a "cost-plus" basis to serve a token-driven protocol, aiming to maximize token and ecosystem value rather than corporate profits. This structure benefits token holders with a well-funded Labs entity for development and a core team heavily incentivized via token holdings. Success hinges on trust in the team’s execution and vision, as token holders lack strong legal protections. Ultimately, team quality, credibility, and execution determine value. Over time, consistent delivery and clear value accrual to tokens—through buybacks, governance, and utility—will allow the best tokens to thrive by 2026, even with equity/Labs entities.

Ripple President On $500 Million Raise: No IPO, No Exchange, Bigger Plans

Ripple President Monica Long detailed the company's plans for its recent $500 million equity raise, which was completed at a $40 billion valuation with investors including Citadel and Fortress. The funds will be used to integrate recent acquisitions (Hidden Road, Rail, GTreasury, and Palisade) and expand Ripple's regulated stablecoin infrastructure. Long emphasized a "compliance first" approach, noting Ripple holds over 70 licenses globally. She explicitly stated the company has no plans or timeline for an IPO and does not intend to acquire a centralized exchange, despite viewing them as key partners. The strategy focuses on building digital asset infrastructure for businesses and financial institutions, moving beyond reliance on XRP.

Is Ripple’s IPO not happening in 2026? ‘We still plan to remain private’

Ripple has announced it will not pursue an IPO in 2026, despite market speculation and a $40 billion valuation. President Monica Long stated the company plans to remain private, emphasizing that access to capital and liquidity is already strong without going public. This decision is supported by a $4 billion infrastructure investment, strategic acquisitions, and robust performance metrics, including $95 billion processed through Ripple Payments and rapid growth of its RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple raised private capital with investor-friendly terms, allowing it to operate with public-market credibility while retaining private flexibility. The focus remains on long-term infrastructure development and global expansion, backed by over 70 licenses worldwide.

Why $30 XRP Isn’t as Unrealistic as Critics Claim

Crypto YouTuber Mason Versluis argues that XRP reaching $30 per token is achievable based on market capitalization comparisons, not hype or speculation. At current prices, XRP would require a 12x increase to reach $30, which would place its market cap near Bitcoin's current level of approximately $1.9 trillion. With XRP's circulating supply of around 60 billion tokens, a Bitcoin-sized market cap would mathematically value XRP above $30 per unit. The analysis emphasizes that market cap is a result of price action, not a barrier to growth, and that past cycles show how extreme valuations eventually normalize. If Bitcoin's market cap grows to $5-$10 trillion, it could pull major altcoins like XRP into the $1-$2 trillion range, making a $30 price level realistic without requiring unique events—just participation in broader market expansion.

When Altcoins Lose Consensus, Excess Returns May Lie in the Neglected 'Ruins of Innovation'

Currently, the crypto market is dominated by a nihilistic sentiment, driving investors toward "safe" consensus narratives like stablecoins, prediction markets, and RWAs. However, this defensive stance overlooks a key reality: the industry remains largely "pre-fundamental," with speculation, not cash flows, as the primary price catalyst. As the space matures, most altcoins are likely to underperform Bitcoin due to evaporating speculative premiums. The core issue is scale: on-chain revenue remains minuscule globally, and most tokens are still priced on future expectations rather than actual value. Mature sectors face efficient pricing, leaving little alpha. True excess returns will come from innovation—areas where valuation is unclear, narratives are still forming, and new markets are being created. Key innovative sectors to watch include uPOW (utility Proof-of-Work), which ties mining to valuable output; ownership tokens for lightweight startup financing; decentralized AI training and compute markets; and social metaverse experiments. Solana is well-positioned as the leading infrastructure for future speculative activity. In contrast, chasing mature narratives or low-quality consensus plays often leads to overvalued entry points. The greatest opportunities lie not in safety, but in bold bets on novel, hard-to-value innovations.
