Berachain, with a valuation of 1.5 billion and over 200 million in funding, has become a focal point in recent financing circles. However, the $BERA token has fallen over 94% from its all-time high near $42, and this contrast is worth deep reflection.

It seems that behind the seemingly strong financing figures, there is actually a widespread industry problem— a serious mismatch between marketing buzz and actual product capability. Long-term ecosystem development cannot rely solely on funding and hot topics; true value creation must depend on sustainable product innovation and ecosystem building.

Industry insiders have pointed out that marketing is indeed important, but it must be built on a foundation of genuine product support. Without this foundation, even the best financing stories are ultimately just bubbles. The case of Berachain precisely illustrates this—large-scale funding has not prevented the token price from free-falling, but instead highlights investors' doubts about its actual ecosystem value. This serves as a warning to the entire industry.

Another story of a financing myth shattered, a 94% drop is truly astonishing. From 42 to now, how much have they lost... No matter how much funding they get, it can't stop the product from collapsing. Marketing ≠ Product, when will people understand this? Berachain is a living example. Basically, they drew a big pie, but there's not much real substance. Ecosystem development is a long-term effort, but our circle loves short-term speculation, which inevitably leads to a crash. The problem is, will anyone believe this set again next time? The token plummeted so hard, who dares to touch it now? Forget about the funding amount, let's look at the real user numbers. Another star project has become a joke, quite ironic.

It's the same funding story again... Basically, it sounds good, but the product isn't impressive. A 94% drop—now that's the real truth. Funding figures are just to fool retail investors; token prices are the honest mirror.

This 94% decline, according to research, fundamentally reflects the huge gap between financing valuation and real cash flow. --- From a technical perspective, having only financing without product strength means such projects won't last long. --- It’s worth noting that a valuation of 1.5 billion with a 94% decline really illustrates the problem, doesn’t it? --- I've always thought this phenomenon is quite common in the industry—endless financing news, but the actual ecosystem development remains unnoticed, and in the end, it can only result in this kind of outcome. --- In summary, the marketing bubble will eventually burst, and Berachain is a vivid example. --- I suggest everyone analyze calmly; don’t just look at the financing numbers before jumping in. Instead, see what is actually operating within the ecosystem. --- This comparison is indeed worth deep thinking, but even more worth pondering is: when will investors learn to see through these stories? --- From the development cycle of Web3 projects over 2-3 years, early high-profile financing does not guarantee survival in the mid-term. The example of Berachain once again verifies this.

The price dropped from $42 to now, and this is the real story behind the seemingly good financing numbers. All the nice words are just marketing. What about the product? Still daring to boast about ecosystem development. Another case of a financing king and worthless tokens. Web3 really goes in circles like this.
