"2026 will decide the future of crypto-native tokens. Either most will keep bleeding credibility and be written off as memecoins… Or a new class emerges where tokens are truly worth owning." Here’s how Aragon plans to help crypto-native tokens stand the test of time in 2026 by our CEO, @A_Leutenegger 🧵

An uncomfortable truth from 2025 was that many crypto-native tokens didn’t fail because of markets. They failed, because they had no ownership, no enforceable rights, no real value accrual, and no claim on assets.🫠

Some projects did it differently and have launched what we're calling "ownership tokens" that clearly demonstrate verifiable rights: 👏 • Control over protocol parameters by @aave and @LidoFinance • Control over incentives and capital flows by @CurveFinance and @AerodromeFi 2025 taught us that ownership is a measure of a token's true value.
