Research by on-chain analytics supplier, Glassnode, has taken a deep dive into the economics and worth of the SUSHI token, revealing that it could be value far lower than its present worth. And that is the token’s worth took an enormous 70% dive over the previous week to $2.36.

Glassnode analyst Liesl Eichholz broke down the tokenomics of SushiSwaps native SUSHI token. The analysis acknowledged that the worth of protocol governance shouldn’t be understated, however it’s troublesome to quantify, suggesting that such yield farming incentives are largely pushed by hype.

The price of inflation is the first concern that needs to be addressed when assessing SUSHIs valuation, Eichholz stated, including that newly minted tokens doled out as rewards will dilute the holdings of current traders.

Inflation has been integrated into the system by design, to be able to encourage individuals to actively present liquidity.

But traders needs to be conscious: anybody holding SUSHI with out offering liquidity might be diluted.

A 0.05% buyback reward generated from buying and selling volumes is used to distribute newly minted tokens again to current holders. Therefore a certain quantity of day by day buying and selling quantity should be sustained to keep up a given worth.

Using this chart, the report prompt that with out insanely excessive volumes, a SUSHI worth above $10 is preposterous and unsustainable.

In reality, assuming that SushiSwap captures a more realistic daily trading volume of $400 million, the sustainable price for SUSHI would be $0.31 – a full 97% lower than its all-time high of $11.93.

The analyst acknowledged that token costs are prone to stay inflated within the brief time period on account of hype and a lack of expertise about its fundamentals.

The SUSHI worth took an enormous dive over the weekend when it was revealed that the founder had offered 2.5 million of them he acquired through a 10% growth fund share. Control of the protocol was then handed over to the CEO of crypto derivatives trade FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, following large backlash from the group.

Bankman-Fried, who can also be the CEO of Alameda Research, acknowledged that SushiSwap is presently present process migration, including after that, itll be community-run, not run by me.

SUSHI costs hit an all-time excessive of over $11 simply after its launch, however they’ve been heading again to earth ever since and are presently virtually 80% off that peak at $2.36 in response to Uniswaps token worth tracker.
