  8. Analysis: Current stock and Meme coin narratives depend on trading volume and transaction fees to functionDashTape reports DeFi researcher Ignas posted on X platform stating that current stock and Meme coin narratives essentially depend on trading volume and transaction fees to function. If trading volume dries up, rewards and buybacks will also disappear, thereby weakening token-holding incentives and ultimately leading to sell-offs. He cited examples: STONK, PONS, and CASHCAT all use platform fees for token buybacks or burns; INDEX uses transaction fees to purchase tokenized stocks; ZCAT funds ZEC rewards through transaction taxes. Additionally, SHROOM reinvests fees generated by the LP network back into liquidity. Ignas used Coinbase's previous cycle as an example, noting that its quarterly trading volume dropped from $547 billion in Q4 2021 to $145 billion a year later, a decline of approximately 74%, and pointed out that Meme coin trading volume could see an even more pronounced drop after the hype fades. Therefore, directly extrapolating these projects' annual revenue or yield rates based on current high trading volume and fee levels may overestimate their sustainability.
