Yesterday, the Dfinity token (DFT) more than halved in value and is now trading at $0.0006, down from the $0.03 per token valuation it held in May. In the shock, Dfinity was trading at just $0.00045 in June, and in May had lost over 80% of its value.

Public reaction to the fall in the CPI
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts have already begun to voice their opinions on why the value of the project has fallen. Users on the social forum Reddit say that while the idea and technology behind the project are good, the demise of the project could be due to greed and poor distribution. The play itself doesn’t seem that bad from what we’ve read about the technology, it’s just that the cast is disgusting, wrote SweetPie123, the creator of the post. They added that it is sad to see a worthwhile project being ruined by greed. The same user noted: Early investors bought from 3 cents to $5 each…… New offerings come out every month, which increases selling pressure. He also noted that the tokenomics of the assets show that 1% went airborne, 50% went to the team, and the rest was sold to venture capitalists who may have recently dropped their tokens. Another user, Set1less, said PKI is a centralized shitcoin sold as decentralized to the elites and their IMF and WEF buddies, and another user said the asset price could drop to $0.005 by 2025. Some users have even said that they don’t think it’s good that the protocol is decentralized because they control the DNS.
