#去中心化金融 Seeing the news that the Trump Organization is distributing digital tokens, my first reaction is: here we go again.

Traditional large enterprises entering the token space sounds glamorous, but the real details are where the pitfalls lie. Look closely at these points—tokens "cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash," which means what you receive has no liquidity; it's just a tool to bind users. Moreover, they can only be used for discounts or services, making it a form of locked-in incentives.

I've seen too many operations like this. Seemingly beneficial token distributions are fundamentally about locking shareholders and users into the ecosystem, creating the illusion of "owning assets," but in reality, it's just a rebranded membership points system. Once the company's strategy shifts or the product declines, these tokens become worthless paper.

The most critical point is that this kind of setup is the easiest stage for rug pulls. How many retail investors will be attracted by the combo of "celebrity enterprise + tokens," only to wait for the secondary market to be exploited? My advice is to observe the actual application over three months before making any moves—don't get carried away by the initial hype. When traditional companies go on-chain, it’s not necessarily a good thing—it's important to see whether they genuinely want to solve problems or are just riding the wave to raise funds.
