VC-Backed Tokens Under Fire as BERA Sparks Debate

Berachain's BERA token launch has reignited concerns over "VC coins" with heavy insider allocations. Critics argue that low circulating supply and high FDVs favor early investors, mirroring backlash against Aptos and Starknet. Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s HYPE token, a non-VC-backed model, has surged 140%, showing a different path. While some VC-backed tokens fade post-launch, long-term success depends on real adoption, demand, and community trust.
