Problems Facing Token-Investor Relations:
-
Data in the cryptocurrency space is fragmented, and existing platforms often paint token issuers in an inaccurate and unflattering light. Public companies get to provide context and clarity in their quarterly reports and IR dashboards, why shouldn’t tokens?
-
In a market full of noise, it is difficult for many tokens to figure out which institutions matter and how to reach them
-
In a cyclical, narrative driven, and fast moving market, important updates and top projects are often overlooked as investors constantly chase hype and ignore substance.
Plan of Action & Deliverables:
- Bespoke Metric Dashboard (Images are Stand-Ins)
- Verified Supply Schedule
- In Depth Asset Coverage
- Corporate Access via Messenger, Calendar Integration for Investors to book meetings directly with FRAX representatives, Annual Virtual Roadshow.
-
Public Coverage - Asset verification report published on The Tie’s blog breaking down token, differentiators, token-economic model, and opportunities. Combination effort between Flywheelpod and Jack, who has extensive experience writing about and translating FRAX for institutional investors.
