The moment I stopped looking at $OPG through a regulatory lens alone, the economics became more interesting.
MiCAR classification can improve visibility. It can reduce uncertainty. It can make a project easier for institutions and developers to evaluate.
But classification is not demand.
A token can sit in a compliant category and still struggle if the operating loop never becomes a habit.
With @OpenGradient, the question I keep returning to is simple:
What happens after ACCESS IS granted?
A developer launches an application.
A user submits an inference.
OPG is used for payment.
Nodes earn rewards for providing compute and verification.
Then the entire process has to happen again.
And again.
That is where sustainable demand comes from.
Regulatory clarity may remove one barrier, but it cannot create usage by itself. The real test is whether applications generate enough repeat activity to keep tokens moving through the network instead of passing briefly through wallets and disappearing.
The long-term value of OPG probably depends less on the label attached to it and more on whether verified AI becomes a service people consistently return to.
