INSIGHT

DATs As A Bridge To Traditional Flows

  • Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) bridge traditional finance into crypto by offering equity exposure to token holdings.
  • They enable crypto-native activities (staking, DeFi yield) that ETFs and many funds cannot access.
ADVICE

Underwrite DATs With Equity Discipline

  • Underwrite DATs like traditional equities first, then layer on token economics and staking yield.
  • Assess value-per-share growth plans, token outlook, staking yields, and trading liquidity before investing.
INSIGHT

Staking Adds Intrinsic Multiple

  • Staked proof-of-stake tokens give in-kind yield that increases a DAT's intrinsic multiple above 1.0.
  • CoinFund estimates fair-value multiples for staking DATs around 1.2–1.3x the token value on the balance sheet.
