Believe’s open token launch model operates in a regulatory gray area, essentially enabling unregulated ICO style fundraising, causing public threats of legal action from teams like Burwick Law. While the community wants a token buyback flywheel, Pasternak has delayed implementation due to legal risk. Any move to use platform fees for buybacks or revenue share could trigger regulatory issues.

Smart contracts will automate payouts while staying regulation friendly. Migrating launches into the Believe app will filter a lot of the spam we see on a daily basis. Legal is always a very slow game and the more complex tokenomics changes (buyback mechanism) will probably take a bit longer, potentially another couple months if I had to guess. Optimistically, we might see a proposal or test of a fee based token buyback/burn system in Q3, once lawyers sign off that it doesn’t constitute an illegal security or promise of return. Not what most people would be wanting to hear as a couple months in crypto is an eternity. This timeline also gives room for observing how regulators are treating similar crypto rev sharing models this year. Competitors have already implemented such systems (Raydium did XX% buybacks from day one), so market pressure is high for Believe to follow suit fairly soon to stay attractive. The question I ask myself constantly is; what reason do outsiders have to come onchain again? Retail got rinsed in 2021 and knows that everything here is a wild circus act. The only reason they’d come back is seeing their favorite companies or products tokenize themselves and attach fundamental values to investing once again. Like I mentioned early in this post, it feels we’re moving into a slow recovery and growth era which has been mostly sparked by legitimate businesses looking for a new MOAT (tokenization). Thankfully, there are politicians who are beginning to move the needle and it’s a matter of time until tokens can represent company equity like they should have always been able to do. Even if you’re not a fan of Pasternak and Launchcoin, the ICM meta is one you should be rooting for as it’s our best chance at bringing real builders and external investors back into the space. Crypto’s rails have been shunned away by regulation due to all tokens needing to hold a “speculative” view by investors, if Pasternak can find a legally acceptable route to tie equity, buyback and rev share with token holders, it’ll mark a transition for more real businesses to come onchain, potentially sparking alt szn again. We already have X figure projects sitting on the platform if you research carefully btw.
