How Does a Token’s Staking Yield Factor into a DCF Analysis?

Staking yield can be viewed as a form of dividend or cash flow distributed to token holders who secure the network or provide liquidity. In a DCF model, this yield can be included as part of the periodic cash flows projected for the token.

However, it is crucial to distinguish between real yield (from protocol revenue) and inflationary yield (from new token issuance), as only real yield represents sustainable intrinsic value.
