A new study by the Algorand Foundation's tokenomics team challenges one of the most widely cited metrics in the crypto space – Total Value Locked (TVL) – suggesting that while TVL features prominently in dashboards, news headlines, and investor profiles, it has nothing to do with the token's financial performance. Previously, researchers found that TVL was exaggerated. Many protocols calculate the same batch of funds multiple times, distorting perceived usage and inflating the legitimacy of this metric. Now, researchers have conducted a comprehensive analysis of more than 300 cryptocurrencies (excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins) between 2023 and 2024 and found no evidence that TVL is representative of the token's performance. The research team constructed a weekly portfolio, ranking the tokens by TVL, holding the top 25% of the tokens and shorting the bottom 25% of the tokens to test whether the high-low TVL combination was able to generate alpha returns, which was not the case.

Golden Finance reported that the Tokenomics team of the Algorand Foundation released a new study questioning one of the most cited metrics in the Crypto Assets field—Total Value Locked (TVL). This report provides the strongest evidence to date that, despite TVL occupying a significant position in various dashboards, news headlines, and investor profiles, it has no impact on the financial performance of Tokens. A recent analysis of over 300 Crypto Assets (excluding Bitcoin and stablecoins) during the 2023-2024 period, led by Dr. Matthew Brigida, associate professor of finance at the State University of New York and chief economist of the Algorand Foundation, shows no evidence that TVL can predict the value performance of Tokens.

The FIFA Collect platform will migrate to the EVM-compatible FIFA Blockchain, enhancing performance and scalability. Assets will be automatically migrated, and the user experience will remain largely unchanged, but users will need to re-import off-chain collectibles. It is important to export before the migration; otherwise, trading will not be possible. There will be a short downtime of 10 hours during the migration. After the migration, support for MetaMask and other EVM Wallets will be available, but it will no longer be compatible with Algorand Wallet. Balances can be withdrawn but cannot be spent.
