Lesson 7 of 8

What is the best way to fund ongoing protocol development without creating downward pressure on token price by selling tokens?

The objective is to monetize treasury tokens without destabilizing spot markets.

One approach is structured OTC execution through reputable desks. Block trades executed off-book can reduce visible sell pressure and prevent order book dislocation. These should be paced and aligned with liquidity depth to avoid creating structural overhang.

Another option is to formalize liquidity infrastructure through a retainer + working capital market making engagement. Properly structured, this can improve depth and execution quality, allowing strategic token monetization to occur more sustainably over time.

The most important step, however, is pre-TGE treasury planning. If the operating runway is sufficiently capitalized in stable assets, token sales become strategic rather than reactive.

If you want to structure treasury monetization and liquidity support in a way that protects market integrity, book a consultation with Forgd.
