Will Ethereum remain institutions' top choice?
jonahrobrts breaks down the blockchain competition for TradFi's attention 🤼♂️
========================================
Disruption. Digitization. Financial inclusion. Future-proofing.
What do all of these oft-repeated buzzwords have in common? They’ve all been used by crypto-pilled associates at TradFi firms to pitch their bosses on the exciting upside of blockchain tech. This year, it seems, the executives are listening.
Institutions jumped into crypto more headlong than ever in 2024. Their moves are starting to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. However, this article isn’t focused on why firms are building onchain. Instead, we are focusing on where these funds are choosing to build.
----------------------------
What’s Happening on Ethereum?
Ethereum is the world’s largest smart-contract blockchain network. It has secured over $90 billion in RWAs, including stablecoins. 2024 has been a big year for the adoption of non-stablecoin RWAs on Ethereum as well, with the network growing its onchain U.S. treasuries, bonds, and cash equivalents from $800 million to over $1 .5 billion and overall non-stablecoin RWA value to $2 .9 billion.
Some of the major players building on Ethereum this year include
Visa, BlackRock and FTI_US
Earlier this month, Visa announced that they are building the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) on Ethereum. This is the company’s biggest step toward crypto adoption thus far. VTAP enables Visa to issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on Ethereum. It is intended to be a sandbox for participating financial institutional partners to create and experiment with fiat-backed tokens. They expect to begin piloting the platform with Spanish multinational bank BBVA in 2025. While the VTAP program is certainly an experiment, it gives credit to the thesis that TradFi will migrate its operations onto Ethereum over the coming decades.
----------------------------
Yet, the success of Ethereum’s competitors highlights a critical point: institutions are no longer bound to a single network. While Ethereum is foundational, blockchains like Solana and Stellar provide alternatives that are increasingly hard to ignore. However, they also present novel interoperability concerns.
Interoperability is central to the future of institutional blockchain adoption. As Visa states in their VTAP press release announcement, the largest benefits of building onchain include easy integration, programmability, and interoperability. Institutions that venture onto non-EVM chains like Solana or Stellar may face challenges in asset liquidity and protocol compatibility. This can lead to reliance on third-party services to bridge assets between chains, which introduces complexity and security risks. Ethereum’s widespread use means that staying within the EVM ecosystem—whether through Ethereum or Layer 2 solutions—remains the simplest and most secure option for institutions.
----------------------------
However, for Ethereum to maintain its lead in the race toward institutional adoption, it must continue to balance world-class security and stability with the performance and scalability that competing chains continue to push. The race to capture the attention of institutional finance will be won by the network that can not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow. Ethereum is well-positioned for now, but staying on top will require constant evolution.

Chapter Two Rebrands as ‘Solana Seeker’, Unveiling a Range of New Features and Enhancements
140,000 pre-orders later, Solana Mobile’s next generation web3 smartphone emerges from its ‘stealth phase’.
Solana Mobile, the team behind the wildly popular Solana Saga device, has finally unveiled the eagerly awaited Solana Seeker. The next generation web3 smartphone is slated for release in 2025, offering a host of improved features and benefits.
Following the rampant success of the sellout Solana Saga, Solana Mobile stealth-launched the mysterious ‘Chapter Two’. Despite being light on details, Solana Chapter Two was well-received by the wider crypto-community. Solana Mobile’s next generation device has already been pre-ordered over 140,000 times, with recipients eager to get their hands on fresh Solana hardware.
Both the Solana Saga and the Seeker, formerly ‘Chapter Two’ have been embraced by Solana’s mobile development community. Saga owners and Seeker Genesis token holders have been generously rewarded with a litany of airdrops, as well as a vast selection of dApps and features designed exclusively for the Solana Seeker ahead of the device’s launch.
Since its inception, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has been one of Solana Mobile’s staunchest advocates. Championing mobile devices and services as a key area of growth for the network, Yakovenko contends that the Seeker will improve on the standards set by the Saga at more accessible prices.
“We founded Solana Mobile with the mission of taking crypto mobile. To achieve that, we needed to make Seeker more accessible, more affordable, and for its hardware and software to be even more deeply integrated for web3. The support from across the Solana community so far has been incredible, and with features like the new Seed Vault Wallet and the updated Solana dApp Store, we think Seeker will be the definitive web3 mobile device when it comes out next year.” - Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana Labs co-founder
What new features can users expect from the Saga’s highly-anticipated successor?
New Phone, New Features
While the full range of improvements and hardware specifications is yet to be announced, Solana Mobile has teased the following features for the upcoming Seeker:
Seed Vault Wallet - The Seeker comes complete with a built-in self-custodial Seed Vault to provide a frictionless web3 mobile experience. Designed exclusively for the Seeker in collaboration with Solflare, the Seed Vault support double-tap transactions and simplified account management.
Solana Mobile dApp Store - Competing directly with the Apple/Google duopoly, the Solana Mobile dApp Store debuts a compelling new rewards tracker and offers enhanced discoverability for DeFi, NFTs, DePIN, Gaming, and Payments applications.
Seeker Genesis Token - A soulbound NFT, the Seeker Genesis Token is a non-transferrable asset that gives holders exclusive access to rewards, content and opportunities throughout Solana’s thriving ecosystem.
Enhanced Hardware - Seeker promises a dramatically improved build quality, boasting a superior camera, extended battery life, a lighter design, and a brighter display than its predecessor.
With 2025 just around the corner, the launch and distribution of Solana Seeker may come sooner than expected. Given the generous incentives and rewards enjoyed by Solana holders, the Solana community awaits the launch of Solana Seeker with bated breath.

Steps to making your first $100 ,000 in memecoins
1. Follow the right people (I'll make a list soon)
2. Stare at bullx_io's pump vision
3. Write down every runner you see for the day
4. Find what each runner had in common
5. Use volume to your advantage. It's the single best indicator in this space: if you see constant 2-10 sol buys with almost no sells, odds are that someone has alpha on that coin
6. Interact with others on twitter, share your plays, prove that you're a hard worker
7. Join small circles of trench grinders
8. Profit
There really isn't any secrets to making it in this space. anyone can do it
Be terminally online & outwork everyone else

Phantom, Solana’s most widely used wallet provider, has drawn criticism from some users for charging fees on in-app token swaps.
While some disgruntled community members attacked Phantom, voices across the Solana ecosystem came to the wallet’s defence. Reigniting debate around business models in the Web3 world, Phantom’s supporters argue that the platform has a right to generate revenue.
In an industry where meme coin presales can raise over $40M , is it fair to attack businesses providing essential services for charging easily avoidable fees?
SOLANA COMMUNITY MEMBERS COMPLAIN ABOUT 0.85% SWAP FEE
Frustrated Solana users have taken to 𝕏 to air their grievances about Phantom’s in-app swap fees. The public outrage came following circulation of data suggesting that the wallet provider generated over $30M in revenue through token swaps.
Comparisons between quotes between wallets and DEX aggregator Jupiter only added further fuel to the fire. Perhaps spurred on by stagnant market conditions, commentators on social media remarked that discrepancies between swaps provided by Phantom and Jupiter were “actually ridiculous.”
Eagle-eyed users remarked that the data wasn’t wholly accurate. Galactic Geckos founder Genuine Articles highlighted that the $30M figure was lower than expected, before Fabiano.sol, the influencer who originally shared the data, acknowledged that Phantom would’ve generated over $10M through in-app token swaps in 2021 alone.
While it’s obvious that traders can access better rates by using platforms like Jupiter directly, can Wallet providers be blamed for charging fees on value-added services?
Is the Slander Against Phantom Justified?
Content creator and former Phantom team member Seb Montgomery countered the attacks levied against Phantom. Arguing that every business has operational costs that need paid, Montgomery asserted that “Dapps, apps, wallets, etc. need revenue or they close up shop, and head home.”
Hammering his points home, Montgomery reminded Solana users of their double standards. The content creator highlighted how network participants were willing to provide over $40M to the $WATER memecoin presale, but criticized an 0.8% fee on services offered by one of Solana’s longest-standing products.
“You have probably lost $1000s on the pure rubbish. So don't be a clown and not support the wallets that make it all possible.” - Seb Montgomery
Montgomery also acknowledged that Solana owes much of its success to Phantom. Paying homage to Phantom’s position as Solana’s most widely used wallet, Montgomery asserted “Without Phantom, Solana's success would not have been anywhere near where it got to.”
WHICH WALLET GIVES THE BEST VALUE ON SWAPS?
While traders and users looking for the best rates should always go directly to decentralized exchanges or aggregators, it’s also worth knowing the various in-app swap rates of different wallets.
Fuse Wallet - 0%
Solflare - 0.8%
Phantom - 0.85%
Backpack - 0.85%
It should also be noted that all Solana wallets route their trades through Jupiter. Solana’s leading DEX aggregator typically offers the best rates on trades and allows third-party apps to add fees onto swaps.
Despite some traders expressing frustration, Phantom and other wallet providers have always been transparent and forthcoming about in-app swap fees. Using wallet-based swaps is completely optional and easily bypassed. Trader’s complaints are hardly unresolved.

It was unexpected to see Aptos in the top. The project seems to have gone off the rails and is on autopilot, but it's hard to tell from the activity. Are you doing something in the Aptos network? 🤔

Tokenized US Treasury Bonds Surpass $2 Billion!
Does this sentence (and its implications) seem incomprehensible to you?
Let's break it down together
1. US Treasury bonds
These are securities issued by the American government, purchasable by anyone on traditional financial markets.
You are literally lending money to the US government and in return for this nice gesture, you are promised a return (currently 3.8 %)
Treasury bills are simply acknowledgements of debt.
The US government is indebted to you (congratulations, you have a superpower in your pocket!)
2. “tokenized”
Literally: injected into a blockchain
Treasury bonds are transformed from a "virtual electronic" state (information on the hard drive of the Fed or a central bank) to a "cryptographic" state by being transposed in the form of digital assets (i.e. tokens) on a blockchain network.
We are talking about "tokenization of financial assets"
3. What for?
Let's simplify:
- Cheaper, lower costs for the issuer (government) and the holder
- Fewer intermediaries (savings on this side too)
- Excellent liquidity
- Unlimited fragmentation potential (a treasury bond is sold at least in tranches of $100 , with tokenization it is possible to divide this threshold by 10, 100, 10,000 to make the asset accessible to a wider audience)
- Transparent
- Ultra secure
- Auditable
- ...
To put it simply, there is SO much upside to using blockchain for financial assets that there is NO scenario where this technological approach will not prevail in the coming decade.
These 2 billion are therefore a very timid incursion into a market of 27,000 billion dollars just for US Treasury Bonds (and this without even counting other asset categories, such as indexes, shares, financial real estate, etc.)
In short and in conclusion, the tokenization of global financial assets and "The (real) next big thing" for blockchain and crypto

I don't think you guys understand what an actual bullmarket looks like
every single altcoin on a CEX 5-50% up on the day. persistently rotating for 3-5 days, a quick 24h correction, resume
for months
masses collectively throwing high 8 figures into every yield ponzi there is
BTC rallying so hard it paralyzes the entire market, but at first sign of consolidation alts absolutely rip
BTC consolidations after face-melting rallies are met with complete reset in OI/funding. one can not believe their eyes. price while derivatives cool off? fucking sideways - local TA gurus call bullflags. resume up shortly.
once BTC is done, ETH pulls an ever stronger rally, you'd think it was a 100M mcap memetic being shilled by local cabal. brings the entire market up, altcoins start having weeks, months of inhumane moves
the only caviat are devastating short-term corrections to wipe the leverage, alas, riding longs from much lower and/or longing these wicks is a 99% safe play. hell, I'd say 100%, but some of you will 100x leverage an altcoin if I say that.
your spot bags? depending on where you're at in your journey, you're looking at watches, boats, planes, houses. hell, some will probably be looking to buy islands and superyachts.
and if you think, just for a second, you can come up with an actual good reason we're not getting that again for at least few months in the near future, you're delusional.
your downside risk is 50, 70%. boo-hoo. your upside is generational wealth that will make every ex-girlfriend pull their hair out for losing you.
strap in, because it's coming, this time is indeed not fucking different. I advise against listening to influencers that already made it and are here to unload their seed investments on you
I don't need to do that, I'll unload on the tourists at the top.

your downside risk is 50, 70%. boo-hoo. your upside is generational wealth that will make every ex-girlfriend pull their hair out for losing you.
strap in, because it's coming, this time is indeed not fucking different. I advise against listening to influencers that already made it and are here to unload their seed investments on you
I don't need to do that, I'll unload on the tourists at the top.

Holding an open discussion on 𝕏, BitGo’s Mike Belshe joined Justin Sun and original WBTC contributor Meow to address concerns about WBTC custody changes.
Earlier this week, BitGo announced changes to WBTC’s existing custody model that included distributing influence across several parties and geographic jurisdictions.
The move drew a wrath of criticism from the cryptocurrency community, notably due to the involvement of Tron founder Justin Sun.
Seeking to clear the air, Jupiter co-founder and original WBTC contributor Meow welcomed BitGO CEO Mike Belshe, Justin Sun, and BitGlobal representatives to a public forum to shed some light on the situation.
MIKE BELSHE PUTS BTC USAGE CONCERNS TO REST
One of the key concerns outlined by the crypto community following BitGo’s original announcement was what the Bitcoin used to back WBTC would be used for. Acting as a voice for the crypto community at large, Meow posed the question of BTC utilization to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe.
Assuring over 5,000 captivated listeners, Belshe put their nervous minds to rest, highlighting that “when you put [Bitcoin] inside of a trust company you’ve got it wrapped in a mechanism which has got a fiduciary responsibility in a very legal way.”
Reinforcing his statement with additional context, Belshe acknowledged that people’s “number one question” was that “the bitcoin behind [WBTC] is not gonna get hypothecated, rehypothecated, lent out, used, taken, put somewhere else.”
Highlighting the legal constraints of BitGo’s position, Belshe assured listeners “The regulatory construct that we have makes it so that it’s actually illegal to do that.”
A TRANSFER OF TRUST?
Part of the BitGo X GitGlobal collaboration means that multi-signature keys with access to custodied assets will be distributed across several companies. While on paper this aids in decentralization and security, Meow and the community raised concerns regarding the involvement of BitGlobal, a relatively new and unknown entity in the space.
By transfering ownership of keys, Meow theorized that the “transfer of trust will take a long time” arguing it could be “quite a hard pill for the community to swallow”.
Responding to Meow’s claims, Belshe asserted “BitGo is not asking you to take the same trust that you had in BitGo and just give it to somebody else.”
Hammering his point home, Belshe contended that decentralization remains one of the strongest security measures available. Posing the rhetoric, Belshe asked “Is it more secure to have the two parties, or is it more secure to have BitGo hold two keys?”
THE JUSTIN SUN FACTOR
The announcement of Justin Sun’s involvement in the arrangement has been one of the collaboration’s biggest items of contention. Some long-standing crypto protocols like MakerDAO have argued that Justin Sun’s involvement adds an “unacceptable level of risk” to WBTC, proposing to reduce their WBTC exposure to 0.
Justin Sun’s commentary during the forum was admittedly brief. Downplaying his role and involvement, the controversial figure noted “the protocol, how to mint, how to burn and also the transparency and all the procedures remain the same.”
Adding further clarity, Sun contended “other than some of the keys being moved out of the U.S., I don’t really think there is much difference.”
Beyond assuring listeners that nothing had changed, Sun revealed his vision for the future of WBTC. Positing that “not everything we do is purely to make money” Sun believes the team should focus on expanding WBTC market cap, TVL, and helping the asset establish a presence of more blockchains.

His “opinion” on males and females being biologically different has landed him in the midst of a matrix attack.
