Rating Scale:

  1. Overweight โ€“ We expect this token to outperform the broader market.

  2. Neutral โ€“ We expect this token to perform in line with the broader market.

  3. Underweight โ€“ We expect this token to underperform the broader market.

Balancer (BAL)

๐Ÿ… Rating: Overweight
๐ŸŽฏ Price Target: $31-46 (100-200% upside)

  • We are initiating coverage of BAL, the native token of decentralized exchange Balancer, with a rating of overweight. 

  • We are assigning this rating due to the activation of veBAL. An overhaul of BALโ€™s tokenomics, the upgrade will entitle holders who lock LP tokens from the 80/20 BAL/ETH pool to 75% of fees generated by the protocol, boosted yields when providing liquidity, 10% of emissions, and the right to vote on BAL rewards directed to different pools on the exchange. 

  • We believe veBAL significantly enhances the utility of the token, with a design that locks up supply while simultaneously using it as liquidity and drives demand through voting rights over emissions. Like tokens with a similar design, such as CRV, we feel that BAL will become a top target among DAOs who wish to lay claim to liquidity on the exchange. We have already seen the first signs of this, with a proposal making its way through Aave governance to acquire 300,000 BAL, worth $4.5 million at current prices.
