Why ETH Is Destined To Go So Much Higher

Ryan Berckmans is an Ethereum community member and ETH investor. In this episode, Ryan explains why Ethereum’s fundamentals are still outpacing ETH’s price, even after a 3x run since his last guest appearance in April. We dive into why he believes Ethereum can power 1000x growth in the onchain economy, what that means for ETH’s value, and the key catalysts ahead, from Vitalik’s vision for low-risk DeFi to the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Newsletter: https://the-edge.xyz ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@DeFiDad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://x.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://x.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn DeFi: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ♦️⁠ REDSTONE⁠ | THE LEADING MODULAR BLOCKCHAIN ORACLE https://www.redstone.finance/ ♉︎ TOROS | EXPONENTIAL GAINS WITH LEVERAGED TOKENS https://toros.finance/ 🌅 NEUTRL | THE NEXT GENERATION OF CRYPTO-NATIVE YIELD https://www.neutrl.fi/ 🌞 SOLSTICE | PERMISSIONLESS INSTITUTIONAL YIELD https://solstice.finance/ 🥞 SYRUPUSDC BY MAPLE | DEFI'S PREMIUM YIELD ASSET https://app.maple.finance/earn?referral=Mig0gHP59IYC 🦅 ⁠FALCON⁠ | OVERCOLLATERIZED SYNTHETIC DOLLAR - POINTS PROGRAM NOW LIVE https://app.falcon.finance?r=0ec4ccafcd94a7756710278ebfd7dd4b ⚡ ⁠SPARK⁠ | THE ONCHAIN CAPITAL ALLOCATOR https://link.spark.fi/Defi_Dad 🏦 MANTLE | INNOVATING THE FUTURE OF ONCHAIN FINANCE https://group.mantle.xyz/ ⚙️ GEARBOX PROTOCOL | ONCHAIN LENDING REIMAGINED https://gearbox.fi/ 🐡⁠ PUFFER INSTITUTIONAL | STAKING SOLUTIONS FOR INSTITUTIONAL SCALE https://institutional.puffer.fi/ 📈⁠ RUMPEL⁠ | TURN POINTS INTO PROFITS https://www.rumpel.xyz/ ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 8:12 - Key factors behind changing sentiment on Ethereum 13:04 - The impact of Etherealize 15:28 - A more united front at the Ethereum Foundation 20:30 - Vitalik’s vision for “low-risk DeFi” 32:04 - Sponsor break 33:14 - To believe in somETHing 36:21 - Why is ETH still undervalued? 44:03 - Sponsor break 45:28 - The defensibility of Ethereum vs new alt L1 competitors 52:44 - Ethereum's reliability is an outlier feature 55:19 - Upcoming Fusaka upgrade for Ethereum 1:00:19 - Is the 4-year cycle still in play? 1:04:21 - Thoughts on ETH price in 2026 vs 2030 1:18:25 - Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Last episode with Ryan: https://youtu.be/2AX2GlJAmho ► Ryan Berckmans on X: https://x.com/ryanberckmans ------ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions.

How We Scale Content with AI Automations

In this episode of The Optimism Show, Kris Gligoroski and Vittorio unpack what’s worked for the show’s recent growth: using short-form as trailers, building automated repurposing systems, prioritizing psychographics over simple demographics, and treating companies as media-first businesses.

The Chopping Block: Perp Wars & Stablecoin Battles: Hyperliquid, Aster, Tether

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This week, we’re joined by Farooq Malik, co-founder and CEO of Rain, as two parallel wars erupt across crypto: the Perp DEX war between Hyperliquid and the CZ-backed Aster, and the deepening battle for stablecoin dominance. As Aster rockets to $30B in daily volume, we debate whether it’s real adoption or points-fueled froth — and what it means for Hyperliquid’s lead. Then we dive into Tether’s shocking $500B valuation play, Circle’s shrinking moat, and how Rain is building real-world rails for stablecoin payments. If crypto has two new battlegrounds — trading venues and money itself — this is where the future is getting drawn. Show highlights 🔹 DEX Wars: Aster vs. Hyperliquid – Aster hits $30B daily volume; is it real demand or a points-fueled surge? Hyperliquid’s dominance faces its first real threat. 🔹 CZ’s Return to Form – Aster’s Binance links, aggressive fee model, and possible “James Wynn” conspiracy theory raise the stakes in the perp DEX arena. 🔹 Wash Trading & Open Interest Gaps – Aster’s $2B TVL contrasts with $1.25B open interest vs. Hyperliquid’s $10B, sparking questions about organic traction. 🔹 Incentive Wars – Aster rewards takers 2x over makers; Hyperliquid and Blur praised for long-game design that built sticky liquidity instead of short-term volume. 🔹 The Execution Advantage – Haseeb: “Asia executes better than it innovates”; Aster may stumble now but could out-iterate and outscale its rivals. 🔹 Stablecoin Shockwave: Tether’s $500B Valuation Leak – Tether quietly seeks $15–20B in private funding, aiming for a $500B valuation—matching OpenAI and SpaceX. 🔹 Circle vs. Tether – Circle trades at 0.5x supply, Tether seeks 3x; the panel debates margins, moat, and whether USDC can survive the “reverse momentum.” 🔹 Rain’s Real-World Stablecoin Rails – Farooq Malik shares how Rain powers payroll, P2P, cards, and merchant payments on stablecoins—without touching fiat. 🔹 New Use Cases: Stablecoins in the Wild – On-chain credit cards, just-in-time lending, cross-border Facebook ad funding, and more—all enabled by 24/7 money. 🔹 Global Adoption: LatAm, MENA, Asia – Rain’s data shows stablecoin usage exploding outside the U.S., especially in regions with FX controls and unstable banks.
