Price
At a glance
The four pillars
Each scored 0–100 relative to the DeFi — Exchange sector (not absolute). Composite weights are sector-specific.
Valuation
GMX is a real-revenue business — the corner of crypto where fundamental analysis works. It trades at a P/Revenue of 7.5×, measured sector-relative, not absolute. Critically, its value-capture is DIRECT — token captures fees (buyback/burn/fee-share). On the Value pillar it screens cheap versus its sector (76/100 sector-relative).
Tokenomics & dilution
Float is 100% of fully-diluted — most supply is already liquid, so dilution overhang is minimal (a structural positive). Hard-capped max supply (13,250,000) — no perpetual inflation. Unlock dates are contractual and public — the closest thing crypto has to an earnings calendar, and the market systematically underprices them. (Live unlock-calendar integration is the next data layer.)
Network & moat
Value capture: DIRECT — token captures fees (buyback/burn/fee-share). Moat comes from liquidity, integrations, and switching costs — real but contestable; in crypto, forks and incentive wars erode moats faster than in equities.
How to invest
Accumulate on dips; scale in rather than chase. Below the 200-day ($6.76) — trend is broken; wait for reclaim before accumulating.
Honest limits
Crypto is one liquidity trade in many costumes — in a liquidity drain every sector correlates toward 1, so this rating is relative selection within crypto, not diversification. The macro regime gate sizes total crypto exposure; the score picks within it. Reflexivity breaks models faster than in equities (usage → price → usage). Regulatory and hack tail-risks are sized with flags, not forecast. Below the $100M liquidity floor at pull time — thin, higher slippage, elevated volatility.
