Alea Research: Dolphin's POD must prove AI inference demand beyond its Upbit listing pop

  • —POD rose from $0.312 to $0.889 in three days post-Upbit listing, then fell 31% from the high
  • —Market cap $49.1M, FDV $293.9M, reported float 16.7%
  • —Staking vault collected 20,358 POD in fees between Sept 6 and Oct 6
  • —Median 30-day return for 13 tokens listed on Upbit in July–September was -35%
Why it matters: The case shows a major exchange listing cannot substitute for real demand: POD will be judged on paid AI inference revenue and provider economics.
