“The Ethereum ecosystem is far more authentic, resilient, and robust” So we are going to choose Ethereum and then launch on a 100% centralized L2 controlled by Coinbase I just can’t with these people anymore 🤦‍♂️

Offchain CEO Steven Goldfeder on the two paths enterprises can take to launch a chain: "If you look at enterprises, a lot of them are starting with 'we want our own chain'- Circle, Stripe, Coinbase, Robinhood. And there are basically two paths, you either launch an alternative layer 1, and that's the path Stripe took, that's the path Circle took, or you launch an L2 on Ethereum, and that's the path Robinhood and Coinbase have taken." "The starting point for many of them is 'I want my own chain,' and Ethereum actually is the only environment that has an offering. They're not going to an alt layer 1 and building an alt layer 2 there. Either they're building an Ethereum layer 2, large enterprises, or they're launching their own new environment." "To me, it's clearly a win for Ethereum. Literally, Ethereum is the only layer one that even has an offering that can talk this language."

Tom Lee: Ethereum DATs can use ~$500 million in annual staking rewards to fund grants for Ethereum ecosystem “The Ethereum Treasuries — Bitmine and Sharplink among others — now own 7% of the Ethereum supply… Treasury stock is essentially supply permanently taken out from the ecosystem, but we also own the yield. The yield is around 3% so today these public treasuries are generating ~$500 million in rewards, and that is what we can use to fund and grant the crypto ecosystem.” Lee believes that the Ethereum Foundation narrowing its focus to CROPs (censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security) is the right decision. “Ethereum is a $240 billion network value entity. It has been operating for 11 years without a single day of downtime. There’s 11,500 nodes in 89 different countries. And there’s 15,000 developers. I think this is too big to be coordinated by a single foundation.” As Ethereum continues to scale, he believes the ecosystem will move beyond a foundation-centric model and points to private companies like Etherealize, Optimism, Consensys, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and Offchain Labs that represent the Ethereum ecosystem and are already doing enterprise engagement. “This list doesn’t yet reflect the spinoffs coming from the Ethereum Foundation. There’s at least five, and I think Bitmine will play a role in granting and supporting any of those that come out.” “I think Ethereum is in good hands because the foundation is going to be stronger by staying focused. We have a lot of private sector companies already building products and important L2s on Ethereum. And of course, the treasuries are here to help with funding and granting… If you’re bearish, you are selling at the bottom.”

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:

Vitalik, founder of Ethereum, just dropped a heavy truth bomb Everyone thinks he’s “shilling a coin”, but it’s much deeper. The decentralized prediction market Trueo migrated back to Ethereum L1 from Base L2 The founder of ETH knows where the trend is going. L2s are “corposlop” (his words) PulseChain was copied off Ethereum L1 because they aren’t owned by corporate vultures - eventually L1s are the endgame. L2s are corporate, centralized, against crypto ideals. They were always meant to be a temporary scaling solution. I’d much rather back L1s like Ethereum and which are neutral and always improving. Eventually they will be in the right side of history

BitGo CEO Mike Belshe says Bitcoin's decentralization is unparalleled, Ethereum has done a little, and then a quick drop-off "Bitcoin will always have its own token. The token is the value. It is the decentralized asset. There's no debate that it provides a level of decentralization that is completely unparalleled." "Ethereum has done a little bit, and then it's a quick drop-off in terms of true decentralization for the rest of the coins. It's probably going to be more centralized than we like, not as centralized as the past. And the chains are still fighting it out on tech."

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: Banks are looking at Larry Fink and Ethereum “It’s impossible not to be bullish now. […] The [Ethereum] network has never been stronger, more resilient, or future-proofed to scale with Layer 2s plugged in and ready for the institutional moment right now. Asset price will follow.” “[BlackRock CEO] Larry Fink is a pioneer in the space. He has been a visionary, and his voice is heard and listened to by everyone else on Wall Street. The banks are looking at him. The asset managers are looking at him. He’s one of the leaders that’s digital assets-forward, and when he tokenized BUIDL — their money market fund — on Ethereum before there was regulatory clarity and before we got out of the Gensler SEC, that set the standard for Ethereum to be the default.” “Ever since then, the money in money market funds on Ethereum has multiplied. Stablecoins on Ethereum have multiplied. And now Larry Fink is coming in and saying, ‘We need one common blockchain’ so that we don’t have fragmentation and all tokenized assets can be in one place. That means Ethereum — it’s the best set up for it.” Source: The Rollup (Mar 2026)

Starknet’s secure settlement on Ethereum scales the network by orders of magnitude. How? ✅Starknet’s STARK proof of bundled transactions and state diff are sent to Ethereum. ✅The verifier on Ethereum analyzes the proof. ✅Math—meaning the STARK proof—ensures all transactions are valid. ✅The confirmed proof is then sent to the Starknet core smart contract, which updates the Starknet state on-chain. ✅The new Ethereum block is then voted on by nodes and, voila! Finalized. Learn more: 👇

Aerodrome was the number one trading protocol on Base. Now it's coming to Ethereum mainnet. Robbie breaks down the three tailwinds setting up the trade: - Ethereum is rising and lifting every DeFi protocol with it - Uniswap's market share on Ethereum mainnet is up for grabs - Coinbase just announced tokenized equities "Liquidity will flow to the most capital efficient place to trade. Aerodrome proved that on Base." "I believe Aerodrome is going to drive significant market share. I have a position and I'm bullish."

Johann Kerbrat on why Robinhood is building its own L2 on Ethereum At Consensus Hong Kong in February 2026, Robinhood launched a public testnet for Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2 built with Arbitrum. Following six months of private testing, Robinhood plans to launch the mainnet in 2026 and will migrate tokenized US stocks and ETFs currently offered to EU customers on Arbitrum One to its own dedicated Arbitrum-powered L2 that still settles on Ethereum. Coinbase has adopted a similar strategy with its plans to take full control over Base’s tech stack and advance the L2 toward Stage 2 decentralization. Robinhood Head of Crypto Johann Kerbrat explains the rationale behind building an L2: “We can still get the security and liquidity of Ethereum, benefit from all of the work that the Arbitrum team has done, and on top of that, customize [the chain] every time we want to build something.” He continues: “If we want to give people access to all of the tools and elements of traditional finance, we also need flexibility [to comply with] what regulators are asking us to do. A world where you have full privacy and you can do whatever you want without KYC and trade securities is still a bit far for us. But what we are trying to find is a good middle ground. You will be on a permissionless chain. You will be able to interact with DeFi and do a lot of things with your stock tokens. We think it’s a great compromise.” Galaxy Head of Research Alex Thorn points out that you can embed a lot of compliance controls at the application and token layers on top of Ethereum.

BlackRock’s former Head of Crypto explains how he pitches ETH to Wall Street “The first thing we do is explain the Ethereum opportunity. Stablecoins, which are today about $310 billion, are going to trillions. Tokenized assets today are about $32 billion and going to trillions as well. Institutional DeFi adoption is happening like we’ve never seen before. We’ll get to agentic in a minute, but explaining to them — and they agree wholeheartedly — that the Ethereum ecosystem is going to be the future settlement layer for finance is the first step.” After explaining that Ethereum is going to be the global world ledger, Joseph Chalom, who is now the CEO of the $1.5 billion Ethereum treasury company Sharplink, talks about ETH the asset: “As the Ethereum ecosystem grows, you need more Ether to secure and settle these transactions. Therefore, Ether ends up becoming a trust commodity. We start with the principles and fundamentals . . . What we don’t do is make up numbers and talk about short-term price predictions for Ether.” The other thing Joseph does not do is compare Ether to Bitcoin. “The second narrative that people use typically is that [Ethereum] is ‘little brother’ to ‘big brother’ Bitcoin and that ETH is just some relative coefficient of the value of BTC and they need to trade together. What we’re trying to explain is that there is intrinsic value and Ether is going to be the trust commodity that is going to secure the future of finance . . . The number one thing to do is not make up numbers. And then number two, [Ethereum] is not a derivative of Bitcoin. It has intrinsic value to the future of the financial system.”
