According to @alice_und_bob, taking roughly half of compensation in vesting tokens created a corporate tax liability because token compensation is treated as company revenue, while the tokens could not be sold to build cash reserves (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Dec 5, 2025). The author states year 2 tax obligations were estimated off stronger year 1 revenue, with corporate taxes for both years due in September of year 2, just as the token price fell 70 percent (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Dec 5, 2025). As a result, the author reports being unable to meet tax payments either by selling tokens or using cash, creating acute liquidity stress and potential insolvency next year (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Dec 5, 2025). The author adds they are still exploring whether token losses can offset year 2 earnings, underscoring how vesting restrictions and tax timing can decouple liabilities from market liquidity, heightening downside and credit risk for token-funded operators (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Dec 5, 2025). For traders, this case highlights tax-driven overhang risks around vesting schedules and filing deadlines when token prices decline sharply, amplifying sell pressure and counterparty risk in crypto markets (source: @alice_und_bob on X, Dec 5, 2025).

According to SecondSwap on Twitter, moving secondary markets for locked and vesting tokens onchain has significantly improved trading by making it easier, cheaper, and safer. The platform highlights that onchain trading increases transparency and accessibility for all trader types, whether institutional or retail. This innovation reduces barriers to entry and enhances liquidity, allowing traders to manage illiquid assets more effectively, a trend that could further impact crypto market dynamics as more projects adopt onchain solutions (Source: SecondSwap, Twitter, May 22, 2025).
