Token Stages

Tokens evolve through distinct stages as their market cap grows, shifting from DEX dominance to CEX adoption. The exact market cap range changes as market conditions shift but here’s how we briefly categorize them:

1. PvP Stage ($0 - $10M):

• High-risk, high-reward.

• Targeted by alpha groups for shills.

• Potential for massive gains but equally prone to rapid dumps.

• Rarely listed on CEXs.

2. Growth Stage ($20M - $50M):

• Tokens here have survived early volatility.

• Often debut on Tier 2–3 CEXs.

3. Resistance Stage ($50M - $100M):

• Relatively stable tokens but face significant resistance near $100M market cap.

• Many fail to break through this level sustainably.

4. CEX Stage ($100M+):

• Achieve listings on Tier 2 or Tier 1 CEXs.

• Major trading activity shifts from DEX to CEX.
