Recently, the Beijing News Consumption Research Institute discovered that, as production area supply increased, durian prices have gradually declined since April, resulting in prices being “slashed in half.” Entering June, the terminal price of some varieties dropped to just over ten yuan per jin, and wholesale prices even fell to just above ten yuan per jin. “In April, Thailand’s Golden Pillow durians could sell for 40 yuan per jin, but now it’s just over 20 yuan per jin,” a vendor told the reporter at the end of May. Recently, at the Wumart (Taiheyuan) store, it was found that durian prices are continuing to fall, with Thai Golden Pillow durians selling for as low as 21 yuan per jin, and the salesperson said that some overripe durians can be discounted to 15 yuan per jin. An owner of a fruit shop operating in Beijing’s Yinghai area told the reporter that in April, the retail price of Golden Pillow durians reached 35-40 yuan or even higher per jin, but now quality ones are just over 20 yuan per jin, with slightly lower quality ones selling for just over ten yuan per jin.From the wholesale side, durian prices have fallen even more sharply in recent months, with mainstream varieties now entering the “just over ten yuan” range. According to Xinfadi’s agricultural wholesale market data, on June 10, the average wholesale price of Thailand Golden Pillow durians was 18 yuan per jin, Vietnam Golden Pillow was 13 yuan per jin, and Vietnamese Canh Dao was as low as 11 yuan per jin; while on May 31, the average prices were 19.25 yuan/jin, 14 yuan/jin, and 11 yuan/jin, respectively. Compared with April 10 two months ago, when Thailand Golden Pillow had not yet entered the market in large quantities, the Thailand Jialun variety had an average price of 25 yuan per jin, Vietnam Golden Pillow reached as high as 36.5 yuan per jin, and Vietnam Canh Dao was 21.5 yuan per jin. In just two months, prices of Vietnam Golden Pillow and Canh Dao have nearly been “slashed in half.”

Alliance co-founder Imran Khan stated that tokenization is evolving into two forms: tokens representing equity ownership, and tokens achieving value accumulation through buybacks. Token forms that fall between the two extremes will gravitate toward either side. Unless income and buybacks are programmed and brought on-chain, it will be difficult for tokens to achieve reasonable valuations. As more companies go public, tokenization can provide global investors with on-chain participation opportunities, increasing the channels for obtaining ownership beyond traditional capital markets.
