A Q-Theory of Token Platforms with Searching and Matching

Abstract: This paper presents a theory on a trading   platform that facilitates bilateral trade between buyers and sellers through   the use of tokens issued by the platform. Specifically, the platform invests   in customer capital and devises an optimal token policy, while taking into   account the associated adjustment costs. The paper analyzes the trade-off   between the seigniorage obtained from existing users and the demand for   tokens from new users. Additionally, the theory elucidates the value of the   token platform, as well as the value of active users for the platform.   Overall, this study offers insights into the design of effective token   policies and the factors that underpin the success of token-based trading   platforms.
