After the completion of the Token Generation Event (TGE) and listing on several major exchanges, the TREE Token quickly entered a phase of high fluctuation. The selling by initial investors and airdrop participants put temporary pressure on the price, while the high liquidity from the exchanges attracted a large amount of speculative funds, leading to dramatic price fluctuations in the early stages of listing.

Such situations are not uncommon in new projects, but it does not mean that TREE's long-term value is lacking. In fact, the true value of TREE does not depend on short-term supply and demand, but on whether the protocol can stably generate interest rates, attract more funds to create tAssets, and gradually establish DOR (Decentralized Excess Yield) as an industry-recognized on-chain interest rate benchmark.

For investors, there are several key points worth paying attention to: first, closely monitor the unlocking schedule and allocation of TREE to predict potential selling pressure; second, track the actual data of the ecosystem, such as the total locked value (TVL) of tAssets, annualized yield, and the number of active users, which are core growth indicators; finally, pay attention to governance and ecosystem expansion, observing whether TREE can truly enhance user and Panelist participation.

Although the short-term price fluctuations of TREE may be unsettling, in the long run, it is building an innovative infrastructure for decentralized finance (DeFi). Just as the 'LIBOR rate' once influenced the world in traditional financial markets, DOR could potentially become the 'rate anchor' on the chain in the future. TREE is the most direct way to participate in this innovation.

In this market full of opportunities and challenges, investors need to remain rational and focus on the long-term development potential of projects, rather than just short-term price fluctuations. TREE is attempting to bring a brand new benchmark tool to the DeFi space, and its success or failure will have a profound impact on the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem.
