Regarding platform tokens like LIT, there is a phenomenon worth noting—any ecosystem token from a decentralized exchange platform tends to show good growth over the long term. Even established early-stage DEX tokens like 1INCH have their performance on display.



However, there is a balance to consider. There's a saying in the crypto world: "Trade new tokens, not old ones." Unless you believe in the true value backing projects like SOL and ZEC, most coins that have been dormant for years are already nearing the end of their life, or even close to zero. 1INCH and SUSHI are typical examples.

Why do many people still hold onto these? Mainly due to psychological reasons—there's a hope that former star coins can make a comeback. But in reality, the probability of catching a genuine old coin with real upside is very low. Instead of waiting, it's better to look for opportunities in the primary market.

Of course, if you have spare funds, dollar-cost averaging into coins like FIL is also a viable approach. Institutions like Grayscale are holding long-term, indicating liquidity is secure, and there's no need to worry about market manipulators. But relying on short-term trading to make explosive gains on FIL within a few months? Don't even think about it. The price increase of this coin over a year and a half often can't beat 95% of the market. This is the fundamental difference between dollar-cost averaging and short-term trading.

1INCH8,41%

ZEC2,73%

Well said, 1INCH should have let go long ago. Instead of holding onto it, it's better to try your luck in the primary market.

Friends holding 1INCH and SUSHI, it's time to wake up To be honest, opportunities in the primary market are much more reliable than holding onto old coins Grayscale's FIL holdings are really only suitable for dollar-cost averaging, don't expect short-term doubles

Honestly, it's a bit funny that 1INCH and SUSHI have been holding on for so many years. Wake up, everyone. The primary market is indeed more reliable than just lying around waiting for old coins to turn around. Dollar-cost averaging into FIL is okay, but don't expect to get rich in a few months—that's wishful thinking. Holding onto old coins is not as good as finding new opportunities; that logic makes sense. Grayscale holdings don't mean you can also make huge profits, stay sober. Wait, so what should we be copying now? Is 1INCH still worth it? DEX tokens do have long-term potential, but don't bet on old projects turning around. Short-term FIL is destined to disappoint; this market is just that brutal.

1INCH and SUSHI should have recognized the reality long ago. Clinging to these is not as good as going all-in on new tracks. Dollar-cost averaging FIL? That's basically slow suicide, and you still have to pretend to be professional. The primary market is the real place; don't waste time on dead coins. What does Grayscale's holdings indicate? It shows that institutions are also not expecting to get rich quickly. I agree with the psychological effect explanation; it's the gambler's mentality at work. Those who truly understand have long shifted to GAS coins and the Solana ecosystem.
