Analysts are debating whether protocol revenue and token buybacks should play a larger role in valuing crypto projects, according to Cointelegraph.

The discussion focuses on whether token valuations should be linked more closely to revenue generated by blockchain protocols.

Some analysts argue that buyback mechanisms could provide a clearer connection between protocol activity and token value.

The report said investors are increasingly examining revenue, fees, and tokenholder returns when assessing crypto projects.

Token buybacks involve using protocol funds to purchase tokens from the market, which can affect token supply.

The discussion comes as investors place greater emphasis on crypto fundamentals and sustainable revenue models.

The valuation debate highlights continued interest in measuring crypto projects using more traditional financial metrics.
