In a major development, Meltem Demirors, Chief Strategy Officer of CoinShares, stated that Ethereum’s pivot to Proof of Stake (PoS) in 2022 was costly. In 2022, the Ethereum conversion to PoS dramatically reduced energy consumption by over 99%. Notably, ETH’s consistent market volatility raises issues about its long-term impact on the network’s value and stability. According to Meltem Demirors, PoS weakened the Ethereum core network by enabling the rapid expansion of Layer-2 scaling solutions. According to her, these L2s now process a significant share of transactions. She believes the network lost a $1 trillion growth opportunity by abandoning Proof of Work (PoW). This has ultimately diluted the Ethereum Layer-1 ecosystem instead of strengthening it. For her, had ETH stayed on PoW, it could have created a solid energy-computation infrastructure that would make it rival Bitcoin side-by-side. She pointed out that it could have also allowed for strategic innovation in GPU computing, similar to Bitcoin mining advanced hardware development. Similarly, Ethereum’s economic viability is drawing mixed market reactions. When developers introduced PoS, Ethereum came off as ultra-sound money. This positioning is due to mechanisms like EIP-1559, which burns a portion of transaction fees. ETH achieved near-zero net issuance for a time, reinforcing its deflationary narrative. However, data from Ultrasound Money now shows that Ethereum is in its longest inflationary period since The Merge. The network currently issues 943,000 ETH annually while burning just 27,000 ETH. At an annual inflation rate of 0.76%, Ethereum’s earlier deflationary claims are being challenged. CryptoQuant analysts caution that Ethereum may never become deflationary again without significantly higher network activity. Notably, this has weakened its long-term store-of-value argument. As we mentioned in our earlier news brief, Justin Drake posited that through the much-anticipated Pectra Upgrade, Ethereum would have to decrease its issuance or increase its token burn to restore its status as ultrasound money. It is worth mentioning that Ethereum’s broader vision has also come under scrutiny. Peter Szilágyi, a key Ethereum developer, recently stated that ETH was never designed to be money. Instead, it was meant to power a decentralized ecosystem. This contradicts narratives that positioned ETH as a superior alternative to Bitcoin in terms of scarcity and value retention. Critics argue that a lack of clear positioning could affect Ethereum’s long-term appeal. Despite these concerns, some industry leaders see benefits in PoS. Vince Yang, CEO of zkLink, pointed out that Ethereum’s scaling activity is at an all-time high, with transaction speeds doubling in recent months due to lower gas fees. One avenue to enhance Ethereum’s functionality is the Pectra upgrade. As we covered in our latest report, the Ethereum Pectra upgrade went live on the Sepolia testnet but encountered errors exacerbated by an attacker’s activities. However, Ethereum developers have introduced the ‘Hoodi’ testnet to further refine Pectra’s innovations. All the arguments have weighed down ETH’s price outlook thus far. As of this writing, ETH is trading at $1,967.42, down over 1.4% in the past 24 hours.

Meme coins, one of the latest verticals in the cryptocurrency market, do not have the staying power to stand the test of time. This is the opinion of Cathie Wood, the founder, CEO, and chief investment officer of ARK Investment Management, a company with billions in assets under management (AUM). In a recent interview with Bloomberg Television, Wood sounded the alarms to warn meme coin investors about the possible debacle of these tokens, part of a trend that pumped thousands of these assets to the market, with many plunging to zero in hours. Wood stated that blockchain and artificial intelligence were creating these tokens that would be “worthless” in the end. She noted that none of her private funds were investing in meme coins, that are not considered securities by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are, until now, unregulated. “If I have one message for those listening who are buying meme coins: buyer beware,” Wood declared, adding that: There’s nothing like losing money for people to learn, and they’ll learn that the SEC and regulators are not taking responsibility for these meme coins. The current meme coin market cap reaches $53 billion, having only 5 projects in the top 100, with Dogecoin, one of the first meme coins, leading the charge. Nonetheless, Trump, the official meme coin of the President of the United States, a recent project, has managed to find a foothold among these, even with a somewhat disappointing price action. This is the kind of token that will still exist in the future, according to Wood, becoming digital collectibles in the end. Nonetheless, Wood remarked on her bullishness in bitcoin and other digital assets, stating that use cases leveraging them are multiplying and might become more relevant in the future.

tech ain't a moat! Seriously, I keep seeing these projects strutting their stuff, bragging about how their tech is going to revolutionize everything, the "next big thing since sliced bread." reality check: NO ONE CARES And I mean that in the nicest way possible. The sooner project teams realize that whatever "cool shit" they’re building isn’t automatically a user magnet, the better off they'll be. Sure, your tech might solve some complex technical problems, but is it a big enough pain point for users? If your solution isn't a massive leap forward, something that genuinely blows ppls minds, they won't care. And frankly, neither would I. caveat: ONLY APPLIES IF RELIANCE IS ON USERS not all projects are created equal. some are purely technical plays, B2B focused. for them, engaging with end-users is irrelevant so they don't care. for projects that do need users, users are your path to a moat that can fend off competition. they’re what allows you to continue developing your tech for years to come. so aligning your plans and incentives with your community is critical. not so hot take: SO MANY TOKENOMIC FUCK UPS it happens all the time; projects teasing airdrops and running campaigns to attract users end up attracting the wrong kind of crowd. starknet, scroll, zksync, blast all learned this the hard way. zetachain and linea tried farming engagement over and over, only to see interest wane. ppl aren’t stupid; they know when they’re being played. airdrop farmers might stick around but even they will disappear post-tge. did you know that blast, starknet, zksync, scroll all rank below pulsechain on defillama? 🤦‍♂️ If you want to build and grow a real community, you need to align the users who already support you and those who are on the fence. Mass airdrop campaigns simply don’t cut it anymore, as we’ve seen with engagement numbers falling from the sky post-tge. hot take: THE TOKEN IS YOUR MAIN PRODUCT a project’s token is the embodiment for alignment and should be considered the project’s primary product in the beginning. it’s the path to nurturing a community and building a sustainable moat. and you don’t just give something valuable away to anyone. only users who are truly aligned with the project should be repeatedly motivated to remain engaged and have a reason to hodl. projects often confuse alignment with tvl, which can turn some users off. it’s like that date who only calls you when they want you to pay; eventually, you’ll end up feeling used. it's good to take a psychological pov on plans and activities designed to repeatedly motivate users. crypto can be a rough ride afterall. if you’re not consistently aligning your actions with your community’s needs, expect a ghost town post-tge and a token that's moving fast to zero. anyway, weekend rant over.

Digital token launchpad Pump.fun has launched its own native decentralized exchange (DEX), PumpSwap, on the Solana blockchain by the name of PumpSwap . The move comes after the platform saw its revenue drop by nearly 60% in the last month. According to reports, Pump.fun’s new DEX will eliminate the existing migration process in the previous system and discard the associated 6 SOL fee. Tokens launched on Pump.fun will now be immediately available for trading upon completion of their bonding curve, without the need for establishing a separate liquidity pool on Raydium. Pump.fun announced the innovation in its latest post on X, highlighting the deliverables of the new product. According to the announcement, the DEX will enable instant migrations, zero fees, increased liquidity, and a revenue-sharing feature. Related: Pump.fun in Freefall? Solana Token Platform Sees Graduations Plummet It is crucial to note that the newly launched DEX shares a few similarities with the Raydium V4 and Uniswap V2 decentralized solutions through its Constant Product AMM. The Pump.fun team highlighted that this new infrastructure will enable users to freely create and contribute to liquidity pools, as well as trade any token listed on the PumpSwap exchange. The core rationale behind PumpSwap’s creation is to achieve a frictionless environment for trading coins. Pump.fun acknowledged that the prior migration system introduced friction, potentially impeding the momentum of new tokens and adding unnecessary complexities for users. The new system aims to resolve these issues by providing instant and cost-free migrations. Related: Pump.fun Token Graduation Rate Plunge: Is the Platform in Trouble? In the meantime, Pump.fun noted that it is creating a more sustainable ecosystem besides the newly launched DEX. According to the project, the DEX will incorporate a revenue-sharing model for token creators, potentially distributing millions of dollars to these participants and their communities, thereby incentivizing the launch of higher-quality projects. Regarding transaction costs, PumpSwap’s fee structure is competitive. Each trade executed on the DEX will incur a fee of 0.25%. Of this, 0.20% will be allocated to liquidity providers, and the remaining 0.05% will be retained by the protocol.
