The ETH bull thesis has an uncomfortable implication. DeFi Dad says it anyway: "ETH has a 10-year track record. Asset issuers need that confidence. Superstate: more than three-quarters of liquidity on Ethereum. Real network effects." "RWAs will eventually eclipse Bitcoin, ETH, SOL, HYPE in the top 10. Hard to... show more

THE $250k $ETH THESIS "There’s 100x in it." Vivek of Etherealize says Ethereum is better money than Bitcoin. Gold-like, but with staking yield. A call option on money itself. A monetary asset plus the settlement layer for tokenized finance, stablecoins, DeFi, institutions and trillions in RWAs. Gold has no yield. Bitcoin has no native yield. ETH secures the network and earns staking yield. Institutions on $ETH vs $SOL: "To be completely frank, Solana never comes up"

If you do anything today, please listen to this 3-min clip on what Co-CEO Joseph Chalom refers to as The ETH Opportunity... FYI, Joe is the former Head of Digital Assets Strategy at BlackRock, who drove the creation of IBIT, ETHA, and BUIDL. "The more assets and transactions that are secured on the Ethereum network, have been proven to increase the value of ETH..." "If you look at the last 5 years, for each $2 secured on the network, on Ethereum and the L2s, it's driven about $1 of market cap value of Ethereum [ETH]..." "And if you take a step back and say stablecoins are at this size today, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says it's gonna grow to a trillion over the next 3 years, if you look at the adoption of RWAs, which is in the first inning and can literally go j-curve, the value of tokenized assets which could be measured in the trillions or tens of trillions... they are gonna be secured by a decentralized network. We believe the vast majority is gonna be Ethereum. That is a bull case for ETH..." "If more assets are secured on the Ethereum network, the value of ETH will go up, and the value of it being a trust commodity, the highest value of money, is gonna be critically important if you believe we are at a paradigm shift, and that's what I call the ETH opportunity. It's not a trade, it's an ETH opportunity." "And for all of those who feel like they missed the early days of crypto, you are at still a very early entry point in the adoption of Ethereum and that is the long term ETH opportunity, not the ETH trade."

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.

My 100 second elevator pitch on ETH to tradFi. Bitcoin is 1 asset - just bitcoin. Ethereum is all possible assets. Which is bigger? Gold...or all the assets in the world? Bitcoin was designed to secure one asset, just bitcoin. Ethereum is a general purpose platform designed to secure everything else: stablecoins, loans, equities, bonds, derivatives - everything in finance. The word for this is: Tokenization. People like Larry Fink are saying every stock, bond, and asset will be tokenized on a global ledger. And even he's thinking too small - tokenization isn't just the assets of the past it's the assets of the future - AI compute, personal data, social status & celebrity. Everything will be tokenized. Ethereum is a global computing network to tokenize and program any asset. Ethereum adds property rights to the internet. Tokenization can and will happen on other platforms, but Ethereum is positioned the strongest contender to ride the tokenization wave. 100 million people own ETH. 100 thousand developers actively contribute to the code. Already, Ethereum settles more annually than the Visa network…and it’s just getting started. Now let's talk about ETH. The cryptocurrency of Ethereum is called ETH and has investible economics, including an algorithmic buy-back and dividend program that drives billions per year in earnings to ETH holders. This number grows as the network expands. You can build a DCF model on ETH as you word with a stock like Nvidia. And because ETH is extremely secure and decentralized like Bitcoin, more and more people are seeing ETH as a compliment to Bitcoin as a non-sovereign store of value. While bitcoin has greater certainty of supply, Ethereum pays a dividend and is deflationary, with the upside of the entire token economy. Bitcoin is exposure to digital gold. Ethereum is exposure to everything else. I own both. But if I could only pick one, I'd pick the superset. I’d pick ETH.

$ETH "WORTH ALOT OF MONEY" Avichal Garg of Electric Capital believes Ethereum has something impossible to replicate: Credible neutrality. Bitcoin has credible neutrality too. But $BTC isn't designed to be the transaction layer and settlement layer for the global financial system. In a world where countries from China to India to Brazil are looking for financial infrastructure that isn't controlled by any single nation, credible neutrality becomes incredibly valuable. "You talk to anybody on Wall Street... everybody's trying to build on $ETH." ETFs are here. Coinbase is building on ETH. Robinhood is building on ETH. Sofi is building on ETH. What's a global financial network that neither the U.S. nor China controls worth? "A lot of money." Sidenote: Avichal Garg's firm Electric Capital, is one of the more respected crypto native VCs. Avichal was mining Bitcoin as early as 2010.

Right now, ETH is being valued mostly by transaction fees.” There's an assumption “Bitcoin has already won store of value.” That framing misses the real upside. Michael McGuiness on Bankless with Vivek Raman from Etherealize: “The core argument of Productive Money is that ETH is actually better money than Bitcoin.” Ethereum should not just be valued as a fee-generating network, but as an asset capable of capturing monetary premium too. That's how ETH gets to $250,000. 🎬

I disagree with that. But I agree with it in the short term." "ETH is $250 billion, ridiculous for what's done on it today. Short term: HYPE is a better bet." "Long term: ETH is probably the best bet on the crypto ecosystem. Agentic payments, tokenization, treasuries, stocks onchain. Ethereum benefits. ETH has a place. We just need a lot more onchain first."

Ether staking requests outpace exit requests by 152x?! There is now 2,745,510 $ETH, worth around $4.6B, waiting to be staked on the Ethereum network. This is versus just 18,037 $ETH waiting to be unstaked. The difference is MASSIVE but is less than it has been at points in the past few weeks. Nonetheless, it seems to indicate serious long-term demand for $ETH exposure and accrual.

Small clip but tells you EXACTLY what you need to know about takes on ETH and the Ethereum ecosystem. Price is moving regardless of Blockworks bearishness on ETH. Everyone is welcome to an opinion and are free to like or dislike assets but it's been as clear as day that as a media company the ETH hate runs deep. The Ethereum community has been calling this out for some time, rightfully so. Ethereum and ETH will win and these people will capitulate eventually. $ETH looks good here.

"I used to be a bitcoiner. The transition to a new store of value only happens once every 3,000 years. That's the main prize -- just focus on that. But [security] is the criteria that ultimately convinced me to flip from Bitcoin to ETH." "I have a higher degree of certainty that Ethereum will be around longer [than Bitcoin]. The reason for that is because Bitcoin relies on proof-of-work, which is less efficient than proof-of-stake and doesn't scale with the value of the network. And as the block subsidy of Bitcoin halves every four years, it is increasingly becoming more and more reliant on transaction fees to fund the security budget paid to miners." "If you look at [Bitcoin's] security budget right now, about 0.6% of revenue to miners is transaction fees... The problem with that is if Bitcoin becomes 'digital gold', flips gold, and becomes a $30 trillion asset, but it only costs $10-20 billion to attack it, that's too asymmetric." "You want the security budget to scale with the market cap, similar to how countries spend a % of their GDP on defense. The more valuable something is, the more you need to spend to protect it." "Ethereum, with the Merge, migrated to proof-of-stake, which is fundamentally more secure because it's less reliant on transaction fees and it scales with the value of the network. If 1/3rd of ETH is staked and then you need 1/3rd of those ETH to censor the network, you're looking at roughly 10% of the total market cap as the cost to attack the network." "So if Ethereum flips Bitcoin and gold and becomes a $30 trillion asset, it'll cost ~$3 trillion to attack the Ethereum network versus Bitcoin at like $10 billion." "The other aspect here is that as AI hyperscalers invest more and more in AI, proof-of-work becomes increasingly vulnerable because the cost to attack the Bitcoin network is starting to look close to the quarterly CapEx these hyperscalers are spending on their data centers." Full interview on Bankless with Vivek Raman discussing the new Etherealize "Productive Money" report below.

Are ETH Treasuries good for Ethereum? vitalik.eth thinks they can be: “ETH just being an asset that companies can have as part of their treasury is good and valuable… giving people more options is good.” But he also issues a warning: “If you woke me up 3 years from now and told me that treasuries led to the downfall of ETH… my guess would be that they turned into an overleveraged game.” More access to ETH is great—until it becomes a house of cards.

"The Achilles heel of any DeFi protocol is the oracle. It lives and dies by its oracle" Niklas Kunkel, CEO of Chronicle Labs, on why oracles are the single point of failure in DeFi "If an oracle prints that ETH is a trillion dollars, anyone can just go and drain all of the liquidity out of any lending market, out of any credit protocol. Similarly, if the oracle reports ETH is zero, you can liquidate all of the ETH positions in a lending protocol" "If you're looking at the likes of Aave and Sky, you could potentially trigger a liquidation cascade on ETH, that has far more second order effects than just the onchain liquidations"

BTC $50M. ETH $1.5M. Eric Jackson of EMJ Capital, who became known for his bullish Carvana call when the stock was trading around $11 to over $300, just gave an extremely bullish 15 year target for bitcoin:native and $ETH. His thesis isn't based on ETFs or halving cycles. It's Agentic AI. Jackson believes billions of people will increasingly trust AI agents to manage everything from travel bookings to investment portfolios. As AI becomes the interface for the economy, crypto becomes the settlement layer powering it all. If AI agents are moving trillions of dollars around the world, they'll likely gravitate toward the deepest pools of liquidity and the most battle tested networks: Bitcoin and Ethereum. If AI agents end up controlling trillions in capital, where do you think that liquidity settles?

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman on how ETH can evolve as money for Wall Street “In the world of tokenized assets, you need an asset that’s money-like and can be used globally that doesn’t have the counterparty risk or an off-chain anchor. That’s what ETH is.” “The more tokenization happens, the more you need a trading pair between those tokenized assets. ETH first found product/market fit in the DeFi ecosystem. Every crypto asset is paired against ETH. Then you saw digital art, which is also paired against ETH. ETH is the most common trading pair and the most common collateral.” “You’ve seen the initial versions of its utility, but that’s just the crypto-native players. Imagine when the Wall Street players start to realize that too… This is how you can start to see the institutional money thesis play out, but it’s early.” ETH is one leg of most high-volume pools on Uniswap V3. On Aave (the largest DeFi lending protocol) ETH alone accounts for ~40% of all loans, according to CoinDesk. As Vivek puts it: “Blockchains are understood. Tokenization and stablecoins are understood. ETH the asset is next.” Watch the full interview with Vivek Raman 👇

$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.

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.

I hate to tweet a clip from a new The Edge Podcast not out yet, but I can't wait to release this pod tomorrow with Tom Dunleavy. Someone said today there's no ETH bull thesis for outperformance. Tomorrow we drop an entire convo discussing a valuation framework that says ETH is mispriced right now. Fees are friction, not revenue. DCF is clearly the wrong model in a proof of stake network like Ethereum. Ethereum is the vault, but ETH is the lock on all its rich economic activity. Tune in for Tom Dunleavy from Varys Capital tomorrow!
