TREE NEWS update: Papertrade has kept its PAPER token non-transferable, citing risks from perpetual-futures attacks. Holders who earned PAPER through trading losses can stake the token to receive USDC distributions, but no date has been set for when they will be able to transfer or sell their tokens. The decision leaves holders with staking rewards but no exit route.
Papertrade Keeps PAPER Token Non-Transferable, Citing Perp Attack Risks
Papertrade's choice to keep PAPER non-transferable highlights a growing tension in token design: teams increasingly treat liquidity as an attack surface rather than a feature. The immediate burden falls on holders who earned PAPER through losses and now hold staking rewards without an exit, a structure that concentrates patience on a community already absorbing downside. The open question is whether the perpetual-futures threat justifies an indefinite lock or merely postpones the harder work of building transfer mechanics that can withstand it.
