The cryptocurrency market is witnessing a surge in new token creation, with approximately one million new tokens being launched each week. This phenomenon has raised concerns among industry observers, who note that while there are only about 10 to 15 unique and innovative crypto technologies, the vast majority of new tokens lack substance. A significant portion of these tokens is reportedly being created on the Solana blockchain. Analysts are questioning the sustainability of such rapid issuance, suggesting that it could lead to a scenario where supply overwhelms demand. Coinbase, a major player in the crypto exchange space, is positioned to navigate this evolving landscape, but faces challenges related to regulatory scrutiny and the need for effective mechanisms to distinguish between legitimate projects and scams. The ongoing influx of new tokens reflects broader trends in the crypto market, including the increasing commodification of attention as a valuable resource.

Every bubble ends in issuance swamping demand, and 1 million tokens per week is a whole lot of issuance. https://t.co/ty3CGOsbcJ
