How Can Future Cash Flows of the Existing Business Be Linked to the Token’s Utility?

The company can structure the token to be the mandatory medium of exchange for a portion of its existing or future services, thereby tying token demand to business cash flow. Alternatively, a security token can be issued that legally entitles holders to a share of future profits.

For utility tokens, the link is indirect: as the business generates more cash flow, it can fund token buybacks or development, increasing the token's scarcity and utility.
