According to @alice_und_bob, token value accrues from two main sources: selling blockspace and compute, and usage as collateral, with the latter being the primary driver for sustainable value capture in crypto markets (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Nov 20, 2025). They state that in efficient systems, transaction fees trend toward zero, so premium services like MEV rights require an active DeFi economy and are not a dependable foundation for token value by themselves (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Nov 20, 2025). They emphasize that collateral-based demand across staking, liquidity, money markets, prediction markets, deposits, and RWAs drives most value accrual to tokens as on-chain assets are secured by the token itself (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Nov 20, 2025). They add that Polkadot will have its own stablecoin with usage value intended to accrue to DOT holders, and that Parity’s products are designed to drive that on-chain usage (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Nov 20, 2025). Trading takeaway: for DOT, monitor any Polkadot-native stablecoin launch and usage metrics such as supply, velocity, and collateral TVL, alongside staking yields and adoption of Parity-built products, as leading indicators of potential value accrual under this framework (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Nov 20, 2025).
