He recently claimed during his panel at Token2049 in Singapore that memecoins are more attractive than regular altcoins because the latter generate low revenue.<\/p>\n<p>Zirlin, known as Jihoz on social media, argued that Murad\u2019s prediction, which suggests that altcoin revenues will remain unattractive compared to meme coins, overgeneralizes the current market conditions and dismisses future potential.<\/p>\n<p>He further criticized the thesis for glossing over <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/uniswap\/\">Uniswap<\/a>, which he believes is a \u201csleeping giant\u201d that has shown remarkable growth over the past few years.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoins Uniswap as a proxy<\/h2>\n<p>According to data shared by Jihoz, Uniswap has experienced significant increases in trading volume, growing from $6.42 billion in 2021 to a staggering $383.01 billion projected for 2024.<\/p>\n<p>He emphasized that if Uniswap had activated its fee switch mechanism, the DEX could have accumulated $314 million in its treasury, which is governed by token holders.<\/p>\n<p>This capital could then be used for a buyback and burn of approximately 43 million UNI tokens, a move that could substantially impact the circulating supply on major exchanges such as Binance and Coinbase.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jihoz:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhile this will not happen today, it\u2019s possible in the future. Especially as regulatory clarity enters the token market.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Bitcoins Utility as a rally driver<\/h2>\n<p>Jihoz also pointed to the 2021 success of Axie Infinity, a play-to-earn platform, which generated over $1 billion in revenue.<\/p>\n<p>He highlighted how the utility of the AXS token in the Axie \u201cbreeding\u201d process caused a supply crunch that saw the token rise from $0.10 to $160 within a year, reaching a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $40 billion at its peak.<\/p>\n<p>The token AXS plays a role in the \u201cbreeding\u201d process of new Axies, the game\u2019s assets needed to play battles. As more players interacted with Axie Infinity, AXS\u2019 price jumped from $0.14 to nearly $165 in one year.<\/p>\n<p>In his critique, Jihoz argued that Murad is ignoring past events like the Axie rally and the potential future of altcoins such as Uniswap. He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s telling us what we already know, but markets are about predicting where the puck is going rather than summarizing and acting on the present as if nothing will ever change.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h6>Mentioned in this article<\/h6>\n<div>\n<h5>Latest <span>US<\/span> Stories<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h5>Latest <span>Uniswap<\/span> Stories<\/h5>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<header>\n<h5>Latest Press Releases<\/h5>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> Gino Matos <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/ronin-co-founder-slams-inductive-fallacy-in-memecoin-vs-altcoin-revenue-debate\/\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronin co-founder slams \u2018inductive fallacy\u2019 in memecoin vs. altcoin revenue debate Gino Matos \u00b7 2 months ago \u00b7 2 min read Regulatory uncertainty holds back the revenue from altcoins related to DeFi protocols, as they are afraid of regulatory enforcement. 2 min read Updated: Oct. 9, 2024 at 7:46 pm UTC Cover art\/illustration via CryptoSlate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":811572,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22836,68965],"tags":[11476],"class_list":{"0":"post-811571","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-co-founder","8":"category-ronin","9":"tag-bitcoins"},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=811571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/811572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsycanuse.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
