Recently, more and more listed companies are starting to venture into the crypto space by issuing their own tokens. This wave of enthusiasm seems full of imagination, but a deeper reflection reveals that there are actually many risks involved.



On one hand, listed companies rely on the credibility and resources of the capital market, and entering Web3 can indeed bring liquidity and market attention. These companies usually have a complete compliance system and operational experience, making them more secure compared to wild project teams. On the other hand, the issues are also quite obvious—regulatory attitudes are still in the exploration stage, and policy risks are hard to predict. The compliance pressure faced by listed companies issuing tokens is often greater than that of pure Web3 projects, and they may face harsher penalties if regulatory adjustments occur.

There's also an easily overlooked point: does the project token's value itself hold? Can the brand power of a listed company truly translate into token demand? Historically, many tokens launched by large companies have ended up as tools for "harvesting" investors. Therefore, the key is to look at whether the project's actual application scenarios and economic model design are reasonable, rather than simply chasing the halo of a listed company.

In short, such investment opportunities do exist, but they are definitely not a guaranteed way to make easy money. A clear understanding of the project's fundamentals and risk tolerance is essential before participating.

Honestly, can big companies really make money by issuing tokens? How many people are going to get wrecked? Can a brand halo be used as money?

Public companies issuing tokens are just a disguised way of scamming, trust me, don't touch it

Honestly, big companies issuing tokens are just putting on a different disguise to harvest retail investors; brand power doesn't turn into money. When listed companies get involved, the risk is even greater. Once they get investigated, it's a disaster. Really, don't follow the trend this time. Just look at how those tokens from big companies are doing now. That's right, the key is whether there are real application scenarios; otherwise, it's just an empty shell. Regulations can change at any time, and even big companies can't save you.

Uh, I just want to complain that when big companies issue tokens, they are not necessarily more reliable than small projects, and the risks are especially high. To be honest, I hold and watch those big factory tokens, feeling that in the end, it still depends on the economic model. When big companies enter Web3, it's like traditional stock players trading futures; it's inherently incompatible. Once regulatory action is taken, listed companies can't escape, and they might even fare worse than pure on-chain projects. Regarding this wave of listed companies issuing tokens, I want to see who can truly implement practical applications. Rather than buying tokens from big companies, it's better to pick small-cap potential stocks... of course, this also requires discerning eyes. The idea that listed companies' branding translates into token demand? Ha, history has already shown the answer.

On-chain data shows that the contract deployment logic of this wave of listed companies issuing tokens is riddled with flaws. It is worth noting that the token economic models of several major firms are fundamentally unworthy of scrutiny. Late at night, I looked through their white papers, and from the code, it’s just a rebranded scheme to cut leeks. The brand halo cannot change the fact that the fundamentals are problematic. The interesting part is that once regulators step in, these listed companies face even greater risks, after all, their exposure is right there. As expected, another cycle of big companies entering the market, retail investors taking the bait, and finally getting caught in the trap. Honestly, there are not many projects I am optimistic about; most are scams under the guise of a reputable brand, and you need to review the contracts yourself to see the truth.

Publicly traded companies issuing tokens sounds impressive, but I've seen this trick too many times; in the end, it's just a variation of cutting leeks. Brand strength ≠ token demand; these two should not be confused. With regulatory oversight hanging overhead, large companies are actually more vulnerable to being cut down. Don't be too optimistic about risk awareness.
