Crypto Token Taxonomy
summary
Presents a practical token taxonomy with seven categories and a three‑point test to distinguish network tokens from company‑backed tokens: network openness, whether network effects accrue to token holders or a company, and whether the token accrues value independent of the devco. Cites EIP-1559 burn mechanism as a value‑accrual example and FTT collapse to zero as a company‑backed failure, highlights USDC as an asset‑backed (treasury) stablecoin, and calls for SEC guidance.
