Hivert and Nzeutzhap, and independently Lam and Shimozono constructed dual graded graphs from primitive elements in Hopf algebras. In this paper we apply the composition of these constructions to towers of algebras. We show that if a tower $\\bigoplus_{n\\ge0}A_n$ gives rise to graded dual Hopf algebras then we must have $\\dim(A_n)=r^nn!$ where $r = \\dim(A_1)$. In the case $r=1$ we give a conjectural classification. We then investigate a quantum version of the main theorem. We conclude with some open problems and a categorification of the construction.
