> “StepN, a move-to-earn app reportedly made $120M in profit in its first year of operation. That might not be sustainable, but what business wouldn't give an arm and a leg to make $120M profits in just one year of operation?”
Shady securities in the past offered that kind of short-term unsustainable returns too. That’s why it was heavily regulated. This iteration of the same concept should be as well. It’s good news that SEC is now inspecting all of Coinbase’s listings as potential security offerings — better late than never.
Nobody wants to use these move-to-earn, play-to-earn and whatever-else token flywheels if there isn’t a market attached where you can dump the tokens. And those markets aren’t attractive unless the tokens are essentially securities.
