Every first Monday of the month, Floki Core Advisor B hosts an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with the community. These sessions are designed to keep FLOKI and TokenFi holders informed about key developments across the ecosystem while directly addressing user questions and concerns. Below is the full transcript from the March 2025 AMA.
Floki ETP: Bridging Crypto and Institutional Finance
One of the most anticipated milestones for the Floki ecosystem is the upcoming Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) launch in Q1 2025. This development marks a significant shift in how traditional financial institutions engage with cryptocurrency.
Crypto is no longer confined to early adopters or niche communities. Governments, central banks, and institutional investors are now treating digital assets as strategic reserves and critical components of economic infrastructure. The future of finance is converging, and regulated financial instruments like ETPs are at the forefront of this evolution.

The Floki ETP will allow both institutional and retail investors to gain exposure to $FLOKI through a secure, compliant, and regulated framework—without needing to navigate crypto exchanges or manage private keys. This lowers entry barriers significantly and opens the door to trillions in institutional capital that previously couldn’t participate due to regulatory or operational constraints.
Beyond access, the listing of a Floki-based ETP on a major European stock exchange sends a powerful signal: $FLOKI is not just another meme-driven token. It has demonstrated resilience, real-world utility, and long-term viability—qualities essential for mainstream adoption.
This moment represents a pivotal phase in Floki’s journey from community-powered movement to globally recognized digital asset.
Upcoming TokenFi Product Launches
Progress continues behind the scenes on several high-impact initiatives within the TokenFi ecosystem.
Development is advancing steadily on TokenFi Connect and the RWA (Real-World Assets) Tokenization Module, both of which are expected to see major announcements in the near term. These products aim to simplify decentralized finance interactions and democratize access to asset-backed tokenization.
TokenFi Connect will streamline cross-platform interoperability, enabling seamless integration between wallets, dApps, and financial services. Meanwhile, the RWA module is being engineered to make asset tokenization accessible—even to users without technical expertise.
FAQ: Understanding TokenFi’s RWA Strategy
Q: What types of real-world assets will TokenFi support?
A: Initial focus will include tokenized real estate, private equity stakes, commodities, and revenue-generating digital assets. The goal is to bring transparency and liquidity to traditionally illiquid markets.
Q: Will there be KYC requirements for tokenizing assets?
A: Yes, compliance with local regulations is a core principle. Jurisdiction-specific KYC/AML protocols will apply depending on the nature and location of the asset.
Q: How does TokenFi ensure legal enforceability of tokenized assets?
A: Each asset will be backed by legally binding agreements and custodial frameworks that align blockchain ownership with real-world rights.
Bear Market Preparedness: A Battle-Tested Approach
Market cycles are inevitable. While current sentiment remains strong, the team has proactively prepared for potential downturns.
Unlike many memecoins that faded during previous bear markets, Floki not only survived—it thrived. In fact, Floki is the only major memecoin from the last cycle to have reclaimed its all-time high, outperforming even Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.
This resilience stems from strategic planning and structural strength:
- OPEX Treasury: An eight-figure reserve—held primarily in stablecoins and blue-chip cryptos like ETH and BNB—has been allocated to sustain operations during volatile periods.
- Revenue-Generating Products: The ecosystem includes multiple monetization streams, including staking platforms, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi tools that generate consistent income.
- Institutional-Grade Experience: Having navigated one of crypto’s harshest downturns, the team now possesses invaluable insights into cost optimization, community retention, and product prioritization during low-market phases.
While a bear market isn’t expected imminently, Floki’s foundation ensures stability regardless of external conditions.
RWA Tokenization: Driving Adoption Beyond “No Code”
TokenFi’s upcoming RWA module goes far beyond simplifying technical complexity. While "no-code" functionality lowers the barrier to entry, broader adoption requires more than ease of use—it demands trust, visibility, and compelling use cases.
Although full details remain under wraps for now, several strategic moves are already underway:
- Regulatory Licensing: The team is finalizing a tokenization license in a crypto-friendly jurisdiction, ensuring compliance and investor protection.
- Strategic Partnerships: Discussions are ongoing with high-potential partners interested in leveraging TokenFi’s infrastructure for asset digitization.
- Enhanced Marketing Investment: The marketing budget for TokenFi has been increased significantly to amplify outreach and drive user acquisition ahead of launch.

These efforts reflect a holistic strategy focused on credibility, scalability, and long-term growth—not just short-term hype.
Delayed $BADAI Airdrop: Ensuring Project Stability
The $BADAI airdrop has been postponed by two to three months—a decision made jointly with the BADAI team to protect the project’s long-term health.
Despite strong pre-launch momentum, unforeseen challenges emerged that threatened post-launch stability. Chief among them was widespread community concern over a potential massive token dump immediately following distribution. Such an event could have destabilized pricing and damaged confidence irreparably.
The delay allows time to:
- Rebalance token release schedules
- Strengthen liquidity mechanisms
- Restore community trust
Crucially, rushing an airdrop that ultimately leads to project failure would harm everyone—including Floki holders. A successful launch must prioritize sustainability over speed.
Addressing Recent Partnership Challenges
Projects like MONKY and BADAI faced significant issues post-launch, leading to misinformation (FUD) and reputational strain on the broader Floki ecosystem.
It’s important to clarify: Floki did not control contract design or liquidity deployment for either project. Both teams operated independently.
MONKY Incident Summary:
- Floki proposed an anti-sniping mechanism granting FLOKI holders early access.
- The MONKY team implemented it but introduced a contract loophole—unintentionally allowing snipers to bypass protections.
BADAI Incident Summary:
- GraFun developed the anti-snipe system.
- A critical bug blocked early buyers from selling (and some from buying), creating panic.
- Misinformation spread rapidly—even amplified by unofficial social media accounts—leading users to falsely believe the token was a honeypot.
BNB Chain’s inherent MEV (Miner Extractable Value) dynamics exacerbate these risks. For context: one sniper reportedly paid **$400,000 in gas fees**—600,000x the average transaction cost—to front-run the $BADAI launch. This illustrates the extreme lengths bad actors will go to exploit high-profile launches.
While technical improvements can help, complete prevention remains nearly impossible on BNB Chain today.
Moving Forward: Pausing “Floki-Backed” Projects
After careful internal review, the team has decided to pause all “Floki-backed” project initiatives, at least temporarily.
This decision stems from two key realities:
- Uncontrollable Sniping Risks: Any project associated with Floki attracts intense speculative attention. Despite best efforts, snipers often undermine fair launches.
- Community Entitlement Culture: Some users expect guaranteed profits from free airdrops—complaining about allocation size or price performance despite contributing nothing.
While the original intent—to deliver value exclusively to FLOKI and TokenFi holders—was noble, the resulting stress and reputational cost outweigh the benefits in today’s environment.
Exceptions include RICE, where contractual commitments already exist. However, even RICE’s launch details remain flexible.
Floki stands strong on its own fundamentals—DeFi tools, NFTs, education platforms, and institutional-grade products like the ETP. These pillars offer sustainable value far beyond short-term airdrop hype.
Floki ETP Status: Europe Launch Update
The $FLOKI-backed ETP has received approval from Switzerland’s largest stock exchange as the underlying asset. Final provisioning steps are currently underway.
Once completed, an official launch date will be announced alongside distribution details and trading information.
Expansion into additional countries is actively being pursued, though specific plans cannot be disclosed at this time due to regulatory sensitivities.
FAQ: ETP & Market Access
Q: Will U.S. investors be able to access the Floki ETP?
A: Current efforts focus on European markets. U.S. availability depends on SEC regulations and ETF approval frameworks, which remain complex for non-Bitcoin assets.
Q: How does an ETP differ from an ETF?
A: An ETP (Exchange-Traded Product) includes both ETFs and ETNs (Exchange-Traded Notes). They trade like stocks but may carry slightly different risk profiles depending on structure.
Q: Can I hold the ETP in a traditional brokerage account?
A: Yes—once listed, it will be available through standard brokerage platforms that support exchange-traded products.
