🚀 Ethereum's Potential as a Currency Discussed by Garrett Jin
#Ethereum #Cryptocurrency #DigitalCurrency #DeFi #Stablecoins #Layer2 #Inflation #MonetaryPolicy #WealthDistribution #ETH #BTC
According to Odaily, Garrett Jin, an agent for '1011 Insider Whale,' expressed on the X platform that while Bitcoin is often referred to as 'digital gold' and a potential currency, Ethereum also holds the potential to function as a currency. Jin argued against the notion that inflation disqualifies an asset from being a currency, emphasizing that economies require an expanding money supply to align with GDP growth. He noted that a completely closed monetary system would result in early holders passively reaping all benefits, while new contributors are permanently excluded, akin to wealth hoarding by authoritarian regimes.
Jin highlighted that Ethereum's current inflation rate is approximately 0.8%, which he described as controlled inflation. With moderate inflation and practical applications such as DeFi, stablecoins, and Layer 2 solutions, Ethereum can effectively serve as a currency. He concluded that only moderate inflation can dilute entrenched wealth over time, allowing more everyday contributors to participate fairly and fostering healthy growth.#Ethereum #Cryptocurrency #DigitalCurrency #DeFi #Stablecoins #Layer2 #Inflation #MonetaryPolicy #WealthDistribution #ETH #BTC
🚀 DeFi Applications Capture Increasing Revenue Share in Crypto Industry
#DeFi #cryptocurrency #blockchain #revenue #DeFiApplications #cryptoIndustry #DecentralizedFinance #DEX #Solana #Ethereum #Tether #DeFiLlama #stablecoins #SOL #ETH
According to Cointelegraph, recent data indicates a significant shift in revenue flow within the crypto industry, with user-facing applications such as decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms increasingly capturing more fees than the underlying blockchain networks. This trend suggests a potential change in focus for investors and developers, as DeFi applications like wallets, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and other protocols are now generating five times the fees compared to blockchains. Jamies Coutts, chief crypto analyst at Real Vision, highlighted this development, noting that while blockchain networks will continue to hold value due to their network effects, the front-end applications are beginning to capture more of the industry's revenue.
Data from DeFiLlama further supports this trend, showing that DeFi protocols now dominate the list of highest-earning crypto products. Over the past 30 days, the top 17 fee-generating entities were applications or protocols, rather than base-layer blockchains. Solana was the only blockchain to make it into the top 20, capturing over $20.4 million in fees, while stablecoin issuer Tether led with $563 million. Ethereum also appeared in the rankings, generating $10.3 million in fees, placing it 27th. This shift in revenue distribution suggests that developers and institutional investors may increasingly focus on DeFi applications, as these platforms continue to attract a larger share of total revenue.
The activity on blockchain networks also reflects this trend, with Solana emerging as the most-used network, boasting over 68 million active addresses in the past 30 days, a 14% increase according to Nansen. Ethereum, while still significant, ranked sixth with 13 million active monthly addresses, marking a 53% increase. This dynamic indicates a growing interest in DeFi applications, which are becoming central to the crypto industry's revenue generation, potentially reshaping the landscape for developers and investors alike.#DeFi #cryptocurrency #blockchain #revenue #DeFiApplications #cryptoIndustry #DecentralizedFinance #DEX #Solana #Ethereum #Tether #DeFiLlama #stablecoins #SOL #ETH
