    4. On paper, Ethereum-based crypto projects often have impressive treasuries, but their real liquidity can be questionable. A DeFiLIama publication found that many projects rely on volatile or illiquid tokens.

    Token Liquidity and Volatility

    While Ethereum projects may seem stable, their assets often include volatile or illiquid tokens. For example, the Luna project showed that tying a stablecoin to volatile assets can lead to disaster.

    Problems Arising from Volatile Tokens

    Projects whose treasuries consist almost entirely of their own tokens face significant risks. Such treasuries can lose most of their on-paper value in a sharp market drop, as demonstrated by the Luna example.

    Consequences for Ethereum-Based Projects

    Projects relying on their own tokens without a solid reserve currency face significant threats. A lack of stable liquidity could render treasuries almost worthless during market crises.

    Many Ethereum-based crypto projects overestimate their liquidity and stability. During market collapses, their on-paper assets can become worthless, threatening the very existence of these projects.
