$ETH floodgates are about to open. "If you could see what we’re seeing from the inside, you would be wildly bullish." Ex-BlackRock Joe Chalom and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin on why Ethereum’s biggest move is still ahead. For years, $ETH has traded like a Bitcoin beta. But institutions are treating Ethereum like financial infrastructure. Stablecoins were the first real proof point of tokenization, and over 50% is happening on Ethereum. Solana has less than 1/10th of Ethereum’s stablecoin TVL and transaction volume. Tokenized assets? - BlackRock launched on $ETH - Robinhood is launching on $ETH - Governments are choosing $ETH - JPMorgan is tokenizing assets and deposits on $ETH DeFi pioneered on Ethereum. Now AI agents, x402, ERC-8004, and machine-to-machine payments could create a tidal wave of transaction volume. As Chalom puts it: "it’ll be very good at sucking up blockspace." Lubin on $ETH's endgame: Once DeFi feels safe enough, institutions and retail will realize they can "earn significant yield" in an appreciating currency instead of settling for lower yields in a debasing one. The $ETH supercycle is coming.

“They’re going to want to secure it by staking Ethereum.” Exactly. As the world’s financial system gets rebuilt on Ethereum, 🌍 Countries 🏦 Institutions 👤 Individuals will all hold and stake ETH to secure global value. ETH is a SoV for the world’s wealth. You have no idea how high it’s going — 6 figures is conservative. 🧱🚀

The Ethereum Community Foundation is proud to launch BlobKit, a full-feature SDK that makes Ethereum’s native data layer usable. We said we were here to burn ETH. This is how we start. BlobKit gives developers a direct way to write to blobspace. It handles encoding, commitments, and transaction formatting without requiring custom infrastructure. What used to take hundreds of lines of code now takes one.

To wrap up a week where DeFi and crypto values and ownership are being hotly debated, Watch the discussion Camila Russo had with the Ethereum Foundation's Marissa Posner Marissa Posner and Yoav Weiss yoav.eth at Devconnect about how Ethereum is committed to growing -- without ever relinquishing its values. “You can’t preserve Ethereum by giving up the things that made people trust it in the first place. Scaling Ethereum through L2s only works if L2s retain Ethereum’s values. Self-sovereignty is what blockchains are about — and we can’t lose that as we scale.” Watch:

The ETH thesis for Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com is simple. He's frontrunning ETH accumulation by the banks. "Ethereum is also the architecture that future banks will have. When goldman issues a stablecoin and JPMorgan doing it on Ethereum as Layer 1 blockchain they're going to want to secure it by staking Ethereum so, we're trying to get in front of that by creating an Ethereum treasury vehicle." Why is Tom Lee converting a bitcoin mining company to an ETH treasury and staking company? Simple. The banks will have stablecoins. The stablecoins will deploy on Ethereum. And so...the banks will acquire & stake ETH to secure their stablecoins. First commercial banks buy and stake. Then central banks buy and stake ETH. ETH becomes a world reserve asset. He's frontrunning the obvious ETH accumulation trend - just as he did with bitcoin many years ago. Bullish ETH.
