Death of InfoFi: Incentives Move Off Leaderboards
from Coffee with Captain: Crypto Markets, Products and Culture · host Coffee with Captain
InfoFi is getting “called dead,” but the real story is that the incentives are moving, not disappearing. The show focuses on Kaito’s shift to Kaito Studio and why sunsetting incentivized YAPs leaderboards is a signal that the old playbook stopped working. We talk through how leaderboard chasing warped behavior, why many campaigns did not translate to real outcomes, and what a more creator and distribution-driven model could look like across TikTok and YouTube. Fear and greed is back near pre October 10th levels as the trenches heat up again. There’s also a quick headline hit on the ETH treasury narrative around Bitmine and Tom Lee.Subscribe:Coffee with Captain Newsletter: https://coffeewithcaptain.beehiiv.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@coffeewithcaptainshowFollow on X:Captain Zwingli: https://x.com/ChrisJourdanThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
