ETHEUR
Ethereum / Euro
crypto Composite

I created a [PR](https://github.com/ensdomains/contracts-v2/pull/380) to add ETH/WETH the other day.

Wow, .gwei is quite a bit more developed than I expected, lots of infrastructure working.

And it looks like they've removed all the governance features which is really nice. I considered making a fork to do this when ENS introduced the governance features (2019?) it was so obviously all going to end it tears.
The main problem with removing governance is that you can't set the fees dynamically so they might end up inappropriate but they've just set reasonable low fees (they get burned instead of going to a treasury), these are probably OK even when ETH is $10K
* 1 byte: 0.5 ETH
* 2 byte: 0.1 ETH
* 3 byte: 0.05 ETH
* 4 byte: 0.01 ETH
* Anything longer: 0.0005 ETH

worth calling out specifically for USDC: a lot of the "just use any bridge" advice above works but exposes you to wrapped-token risk if the bridge isn't using Circle's CCTP. Circle's CCTP burns native USDC on Solana and mints native USDC on Ethereum directly (no wrapped IOU sitting in between), so you're not stuck holding some bridge's synthetic USDC.e or w-token that may or may not be liquid later. Wormhole and a few of the other bridges people mentioned route through CCTP under the hood now, worth checking before picking one. also don't forget you'll need a little ETH sitting in that Phantom-generated Ethereum address for gas once it lands, that trips people up on their first bridge.

Sorry, I thought I was understanding you but now I am confused.
What legal certainty in CLARITY are you talking about that is directly related to ETH or ETH holders?

Ill bring back an old school one for yall OGs. CORE/CVault Finance/Delta. While they have definitely pissed off all the people who gave them a $100M treasury(value during last bull run, now around $60M), HYPE took most of their ideas and built their platform, along with 100s of forks from others. The difference though is the locked liquidity and mechanisms to create value for the users, devs and platform. Delta flopped bc of the very reason you mentioned. They broke Uniswaps trade algo and Hayden Adams booted them from the platform, showing they are centralized at their core also. 
The rub here is they haven't been heard from in years. Theyll trade the treasury every once in a while but nothing on TG. I was an OG investor in CORE LP1 and went heavily into Delta. There is a lot to be mad about from that perspective but the treasury is still there. If they were scammers, that money would have already been gone. I've chalked my money as a loss, but I do hope they stay true to the statement that they'll launch during the next bull run. And while BTC was strong this last one, ETH never sustained ATH. 
They are ETH maxis so I would guess in a couple of years, theyll come back and launch the project. Until then, it's a bunch of bullshit of nothing but id keep it on your radar once ETH season pops off. 

If you're new to crypto do not buy meme coins. You will lose your money. Stick with BTC and ETH and do nothing else.

What does that even mean? The majority of ETH has been held by retail since the crowd sale.

Just saw this from X where Robinhood became a chain, does that mean Robinhood Market and Robinhood Chain will be merge later this year?
Also sidenote GameStop has this "Tokenized GameStop" I'm seeing and it did $26.6 Million in daily volume. Which is impressive knowing that I happen to only know Robinhood Chain this day.

Can the GameStop stock get benefits from the Tokenized GameStop? And also do I need ETH to buy this Tokenized version?

Yes, but only for specific use cases where crypto payment actually solves a real problem.
**Where rewards are just noise and the product is genuinely useful:**
- **Cross-border payments** — sending money internationally via crypto with no correspondent banking fees or 3-5 day delays is a real advantage. The rewards are irrelevant; the speed and cost savings are the product.
- **Spending without off-ramping** — if you're already holding stablecoins or ETH and don't want to convert back to fiat just to spend, a crypto payment app removes friction. No rewards needed.
- **Countries with unstable local currency** — in Argentina, Turkey, Venezuela, the real product is "hold USDT and spend it directly." Rewards are a rounding error compared to not losing 80% to inflation.
**Where the product only exists because of rewards:**
Most Western retail crypto cashback cards fall here. Strip the rewards and you get a worse version of a credit card with extra custody risk. Nobody would use it.
**The honest test:** would you use this app if you were already paid in crypto and just needed to spend it easily? If yes, the product has real utility. If you're converting fiat → crypto → fiat just to earn points, the economics rarely work out in your favor.
Gnosis Pay (mentioned in comments) is one of the more interesting attempts at genuine utility — using actual onchain settlement rather than wrapping a normal card in a crypto interface.

Index ETFs are structurally a good idea — the problem is how the index is constructed.
**The good:** Diversification, passive exposure without managing keys, and lower cognitive overhead than picking individual assets. For institutional and retail investors who want crypto exposure without deep research, an index ETF makes sense.
**The concern with market-cap weighting:** BTC dominates at ~55% of crypto market cap, so a market-cap-weighted index is basically "mostly BTC with some ETH and a long tail of noise." You'd get near-identical exposure to just holding BTC + ETH directly but with more complexity and management fees.
**The "barriers to entry" question is interesting:** The T.Rowe list you shared includes SHIB and DOGE, which tells you inclusion criteria aren't purely about fundamentals — market cap and liquidity matter more to ETF structurers than tech or utility. That means well-funded meme coins can crowd out serious infrastructure projects. Not ideal.
**Concentration risk over time:** The assets that survive regulation, remain liquid, and have SEC-acceptable custody solutions will keep winning ETF inclusion. That list probably stabilizes around 5-8 assets long-term, not 15. New chains need to clear compliance, custody, and liquidity hurdles that take years.
**Verdict:** Good product category, execution matters enormously. An ETF tracking BTC/ETH/SOL with equal or risk-adjusted weighting would be more interesting than market-cap soup with SHIB in it.

If I had to steel-man the argument I would say the plan has always been minimal viable issuance. Is it viable to reduce the issuance on ETH? If so, then that was the consensus strategy at the time of the merge. Put another way, does it really benefit the network to overpay for security? In the short term the incentives might help Defi adoption but we saw a lot of that short term thinking in 2020 with food tokens and how did that play out? How did it play out for ALCX for that matter?
All this hinges on whether we are actually paying for more security than we need and whether decreasing what we're paying leads to more centralization which I don't have answers to. I also personally think this is something we don't have wide consensus to change and frankly we have bigger problems on end user penetration for just about everything crypto we need to be focusing our attention on instead. The entire cypherpunk vision is at risk at the moment if Ethereum just becomes a corpo chain that increases the margins of Tradfi. We need some killer apps, and we need the ability for people less sophisticated than you and me to actually use the chain.

Seeing the 3 main ones, BTC, ETH, and LTC- makes sense. They’re the global standards over the past decade.

Best bridge for BTC to ETH?

The latest prospectus from T.Rowe lists these coins as eligible assets for their Price Active ETF just approved for launch by the SEC recently. (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, LTC, DOT, DOGE, HBAR, BCH, LINK, XLM, SHIB, SUI)

Curious over time, how many other coins will actually be able to compete for inclusion in these ETFs over these more established coins?
Are the barriers to entry just too hard to breach and new coins won’t have a chance?
Are crypto index ETFs even a good idea? Or should filers stick to single coin ETFs and let the market decide the winners?

More or less what I needed to know. I kinda feel like the devs at Phantom should implement this.. that would certainly make things easy if I was able to simply "swap" things within the app.
But I understand that the underlying tech is complicated it's not so simple to do this.
Will checkout Jumper. I guess I could just give the Phantom details for both SOL and ETH on the bridge, that should work.. in my mind. Will test it out.

firstly, ignore all the DMs you would have got so far, they are all scammers and trying to drain/ take money from you.
Although phantom supports both Solana and Ethereum, the process to transfer is not straightforward within the app.
What you need to do is use a bridge and there are many options for that. You just need to have some SOL for the fees and then connect your Solana wallet and share a ETH wallet in the bridge interface and it should happen in a few seconds.
some of the bridges i have used: Jumper, Debridge.

Heads up. More fixed yield deposit space opened today on Alchemix. These are the best fixed rate yields on ETH in DeFi as far as I’m aware, which probably means they won’t last
https://alchemix.fi/fixed-yield

the risk I see is LSTs becoming store of value instead of ETH. Otherwise I tend to agree with your conservatism. I think part of why the monetary premium of ETH is lower than BTC is because of the uncertainty about policy constantly evolving. just my 2c I am certainly not part of the gigabrain debates

Can someone explain to me what the draw is for an issuance reduction on ETH?
I feel like this is very much a “don’t fix what isn’t broken” thing. ETH inflation is already lower than most fiat currencies, and that yield is a big part of what makes ETH useful in DeFi and desire able to hold.
I’m having trouble finding any positive to it. Less stakers and DeFi usage does not equal price go up
