Joe Lubin says MetaMask is evaluating a native token path, with no immediate MASK launch planned

MetaMask is evaluating possible paths for a native token, but there is no immediate plan to launch MASK, according to comments from Ethereum co-founder and Consensys founder Joe Lubin cited by Cointelegraph. Lubin said the team is still reviewing related options and has not set a near-term issuance timetable at this stage. MetaMask, the crypto wallet developed by Consensys, remains in the assessment phase, with no confirmed schedule for a token rollout. The remarks point to ongoing internal evaluation rather than an imminent launch decision.

GSR says nearly 70% of DAO treasuries still sit in native tokens, leaving protocols exposed in downturns

GSR Global Head of Markets Spencer Hallarn argues that DAO treasuries remain structurally vulnerable because more than 70% of treasury assets are still held in native tokens. In his view, that concentration creates a three-part hit when markets turn: treasury values fall, protocol revenue slows, and on-chain activity weakens at the same time. He also says many teams wait too long to hedge, only seeking downside protection after prices have already dropped and implied volatility has pushed costs higher. Hallarn points to collar structures as one of the most common treasury hedging tools used by GSR, describing them as a way to set a floor while keeping exposure within a chosen range and avoiding an outright sale of tokens. He argues that treasury construction matters more than market timing, especially for teams trying to preserve operating runway. His broader recommendation is to separate operating reserves from long-term crypto holdings, hold cash or stable assets for expenses, and apply hedging where needed so a protocol can keep funding its roadmap through a prolonged downturn.
