Strategy pioneered the DAT model, and by 2025, Ethereum DATs have sparked a new wave of staking activity. The core logic of the DAT model is a “finance–buy–refinance” cycle, forming a self-reinforcing flywheel. The attractiveness and risk profile of a DAT in capital markets are jointly determined by per-share token holdings, underlying asset prices, and mNAV. The Ethereum DAT model has evolved from merely being a token holder to becoming a network participant and yield generator. Based on the DAT Sustainability Five-Force Model, the conclusion is that only DATs with robust capital structures, transparent financial disclosure, and clear strategic positioning can truly survive market cycles.

Eigen's token unlocking plan is set to commence in November 2025, with approximately 36.82 million tokens released monthly, corresponding to a market value dilution of over 10%. Analysis of on-chain data reveals that most high-return traders have withdrawn ahead of the unlocking. However, the protocol continues to demonstrate strength in Total Value Locked (TVL), ecosystem expansion, and partnerships. Over the next two years, supply pressure is likely to become the primary battleground for its token performance.
