"Drama Coin" Collapse vs "Infrastructure Coin" Rise: Trust is Key
Old Wu once heavily invested in WLFI due to the "exciting storyline" (Sun Yuchen's appearance, Trump's son getting involved, etc.), but the project's plot reversed, and value was lost, with his initial investment of 150,000 reduced to mere scraps, calling it "the essence of drama coins".
Later, he skeptically invested in Lista DAO (no big names backing it, no hype), and in less than half a year, the project proved its strength with hard data: TVL reached 3.5 billion USD, BNB collateral exceeded 1 million coins, and USD1 deposits broke 100 million, all verifiable on-chain.
Lista DAO focuses on infrastructure: USD1 is backed by RWA (real-world assets), making it more reliable; LP collateral + fixed-rate lending allows for flexible asset allocation;
Deflationary + ve governance binds users with the project's long-term interests. Old Wu does cross-border business, and USD1 solved the problems of currency exchange troubles and high settlement fees, allowing him to genuinely feel the project's value.
Now, Old Wu's assets in Lista DAO are steadily increasing, and he reflects: "Real money invested relies on trust; the 3.5 billion TVL is the trust vote from users using their funds."
Good projects don't need to rely on dramatic storylines to attract attention, like Lista DAO: data transparency, continuous ecosystem expansion (cross-border payments, corporate settlements, etc. implementation), solving real needs, turning "trust" into practical value.
As Old Wu said: "When trading coins, look at the code, data, and ecosystem; those that can survive bull and bear markets are the projects that are 'quietly doing the work'."
