Columbia Business School adjunct professor Omid Malekan spoke with CryptoRank contributor Oluwapelumi Adejumo about why a large share of new crypto token launches fail to sustain value over time. Malekan explained that many projects undermine their own long-term prospects by raising excessive capital early and releasing too many tokens, creating incentives for insiders to prioritize short-term profits over building viable businesses. He noted that poor token economics, weak governance, and misaligned incentives often lead to rapid sell-offs, eroding trust and market confidence. Malekan emphasized that sustainable crypto projects require disciplined funding structures and long-term alignment between founders, investors, and users.
