What does it really take to launch a token in 2025? The Enterprise team dives into the rise of Launchcoin and the emergence of Internet Capital Markets—an onchain movement redefining how tokens are created, distributed, and valued. From memecoin mechanics to institutional implications, this episode dissects the thesis and traction behind tokenized everything on Solana.
💥 We also debate how to value L1s:

→ How do monetary premiums, economic security, and execution narratives shape prices?
→ Are current valuations justifiable—or wildly overblown?Plus, we touch on:
- The Coinbase S&P 500 inclusion
- BTC breaking 6 figures

- Dylan’s DePIN Valuations report (featuring DRNs vs. PRNs)
- What we’re doing onchain—from Tama.fun to HyperEVM farming
