The race to build crypto -outskists accelerates. In addition to controversial companies that cancel billions, Blockchain Native Protocols themselves investigate new ways to lock value in their ecosystems, and in some cases even again proposed what a treasure chest can do.
On August 7, the Chainlink Network announced its own reserve, designed to collect the native token Chainlink (link) of the protocol collected from both onchain service costs as well as income from Offchain Enterprise, creating a direct connection between the business activity of Chainlink and the long-term requirements.
Since then, the protocol has made two deposits to its newly launched Onchain Treasury. Onchain data from Etherscan show the total interests at 109,661.68 link on this letter, with a value of approximately $ 2.6 million.
Although Chainlink has not announced how much or how often it will contribute to the reserve, the initiative is part of a broader shift in crypto to the use of treasuries as active drivers of token demand instead of passive reserves.

Treasuries turn into eternal demand engines
The Reserve of Chainlink is financed with income from company customers in bank and capital markets. Those payments – whether in stablecoins, gasrooms or Fiat – are collected and automatically converted into link via the ChainLink payment abstraction system before they are deposited into the reserve.
Chainlink Labs says that the network has already generated hundreds of millions of dollars from this Enterprise deals. It also noted that no recordings of the reserve will be made for several years.
Exploring crypto treasury alternatives is also Cardano. In a live stream of June 15, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented to convert 5% – 10% of Cardano’s $ 1.2 billion ADA (ADA) Treasury in Bitcoin and Stablecoins and then use the efficiency to buy back its native token from the open market. According to his estimates, the rewarding of around $ 100 million from ADA $ 5 million – $ 10 million in annual return could generate, creating an eternal demand loop.
In contrast to Chainlink, which canalize external income in link without selling its reserves, the plan of Cardano would re -explain existing assets, which would create the sales pressure in the short term, but the potential for greater long -term profit offers if the strategy works.

Danny Ryan, a research analyst at Bitwise, said Cointelegraph that persistent purchases in the tens of millions of “almost certainly would pay long -term dividends for holders” if they were performed on a scale.
“These repurchase programs must be seen by the market as a pronounced bullish development … Projects that believe in their own value must be willing to protect their earned capital and grow by investing back in token. Investors will take note.”
Although the relocation could stimulate certain token values and add an extra low collateral, Ryan claims that it is too early to measure the market impact.
The analyst noted that it is unclear how crypto native treasuries can influence token prices, which causes doubts about whether these efforts can use large tokens to be meaningfully influenced by trade volume, such as link.
“How much income chain link will spend on the reserve, how often they will buy, and exactly how much,” said the analyst, adding that it is unclear whether such purchases can move a market that sees more than $ 1 billion in daily trade volumes. “
Ryan rejected the concern that the pool of link in a single treasure chest contract could centralize the risk, and said that the reserve is too small to influence millions of dollars. ‘[It is] A relatively miniscule holder of a million dollars of a token with a value of many billions per market capitalization. “
Trump’s WLFI $ 1.5B Crypto Treasury
Another unconventional treasury strategy comes from World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a venture building for a reserve of $ 1.5 billion via a vehicle with Nasdaq.
On 12 August, Alt5 Sigma Corporation agreed to sell 200 million ordinary shares, equally divided over a registered direct offer and a private placement, at $ 7.50 per share. Every sale is worth $ 750 million, which results in the total increase at $ 1.5 billion.
In contrast to the gradually growing onchain reserve of Chainlink or the proposed return program of Cardano, WLFI’s Treasury is launched on a full scale.
Half of the money will be held as WLFI tokens ($ 750 million value) in exchange for a million ALT5 shares and 99 million pre-financed warrants. The other half will be paid in cash, which according to Alt5 will be used to grow the WLFI Corporate Reserve.
By using a listed company to retain a billion dollar in tokens and cash from the first day, WLFI uses a more immediate approach to building his crypto treasure box.
A recent report from the New Yorker estimated that Trump has earned around $ 2.4 billion since 2022 with his crypto companies, a figure that many democratic legislators in the US claim a conflict of interest.
