Interesting things are happening—A media company affiliated with a prominent political figure announced an airdrop of new tokens to shareholders. The token is deployed on the Cronos chain. The news has caused a ripple effect: the company's stock price surged, and CRO tokens also followed suit and increased in value.

What is the core highlight of this event? It is breaking an old rule: traditional shareholder rights are no longer limited to dividends and voting rights but are extending into the token ecosystem. In other words, what you hold might be both a stock and a governance token, allowing participation in project ecosystem growth and dividends. Sounds a bit sci-fi, right?

But we also need to see clearly—when political figures enter the crypto space, it always comes with a double-edged sword. Strong brand appeal is a fact, but from the outset, it inherently carries speculative attributes. The market will definitely speculate, but ultimately, what determines the true value of the token is that old set of factors: does the project have real applications, and can it truly be implemented?

The integration of traditional finance and crypto has already begun to happen in various unexpected forms. This time’s equity tokenization experiment is just one of the signals. The key thing to watch is how far such innovations can go.

Another political figure playing the game of cutting leeks, this time with tokens, very advanced. Politicians entering the circle is like this: first hype the concept, then see if it can be implemented. The gamble is on retail investors taking the bait. Tokenization of equity sounds impressive, but in reality, it’s just disguised financing with early cash-out. Don’t be fooled by the narrative. Is it interesting that CRO follows the trend and rises? Wait until the market cools down to see if there are real application scenarios. These kinds of "innovations" usually end up in failure, as we've seen many times in the crypto world. At the core, it’s still the same old trick: changing the concept to sell as something new. How many people will be caught off guard? Holding shares that also serve as governance and can pay dividends sounds great, but it’s of little practical use. Thinking of holding Cronos on the chain long-term? I don’t believe it. It always feels like some big shot’s money game, with retail investors ending up holding the bag. Tokens backed by political backgrounds naturally carry risk premiums, and there are many people playing with fire.

Once again, political figures are involved in cryptocurrencies. Will this truly materialize this time, or will it continue to be just hype?

It's another politician involved in crypto, this time directly airdropping to shareholders? I just want to know if it will end up being another big rug pull show. Wait, stocks plus tokens plus governance rights? Sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just multiple channels to cut you, smart. It's ridiculous that CRO is rising along with the trend, does the market have a memory? It was also pumped like this last time. What about real applications? Still the same old story, raise funds first and then tell a story? Politicians + crypto = high risk, I prefer to remain skeptical. The real test is ahead, whether this token can truly find practical use.
