Research Brief
Research Brief · 17 May 2026
Through research on the following hot topics: PocketFi's $SWITCH token is dominating with a completed mining phase, a 76% supply burn, and a 100-year staking option. Other projects like Tomarket and Biz Tycoon are launching new farming pools and withdrawal updates. The focus is on token supply control and long-term staking incentives.
My take: This aggressive burn and century-long stake feels like a marketing stunt to create scarcity and FOMO, but it could backfire if liquidity dries up. It's a bold move to lock in users.
I predict more projects will copy this model, using extreme burns and ultra-long staking to mimic Bitcoin's scarcity, but sustainability is questionable.
Public sentiment is mixed: excitement over burns and rewards, but skepticism about locking tokens for a century. Many see it as a gamble.
