> So why didn't price reflect all this buying?
A lot of treasury company money will be people who would otherwise have bought ETH another way, either directly or via an ETF. Buying via a treasury company will mean fewer ETH bought per dollar than the normal methods, because Tom will spend some of the money on himself and YouTube influencers.

low fees, very fast , atomic transactions which cannot be sniped (unlike in ETH) and more.
Solana basically fixed the issues ETH had

That kind of gap is usually a mix of spread, route quality, bridge cost, slippage settings, and sometimes a very unhelpful “network fee” bundle. The advertised 0.5% is rarely the whole story if the route is native BTC into an Ethereum-side asset.
For an $8k swap I would compare the final amount received, not the fee label. Get quotes from a liquid CEX path if KYC is acceptable, then compare that against a DEX or bridge aggregator route using the same destination asset. Also check whether you are receiving ETH, WETH, or some wrapped BTC route that still needs another trade.
The practical trick is to do a tiny test first and calculate the all-in loss from wallet balance to wallet balance. If the test quote changes a lot after you enter the real size, it is probably liquidity or routing rather than just a fixed fee problem.

People have called ETH dead in basically every cycle 😅 Usually it happens when sentiment gets crushed, whales de-risk, and everyone suddenly starts acting like the ecosystem disappeared overnight. Whether price recovers or not, Ethereum still has one of the strongest developer, stablecoin, and infrastructure ecosystems in crypto.

Goddammit.
I knew it was DONUT and MOON keeping ETH afloat.... /s

Classic ETH trader vibe buying the black lines and holding through the green ones simple but effective keep it up bro 😊

ETH, the chain with a brain
ETH, build the future
ETH, where worlds collide
ETH, come for the fun, stay for the dumb
ETH, don’t hold your breath
Alright that’s all I got for slogan ideas for now. Mostly joking with those btw. We’re all bored now.
Maybe, ETH, A roller coaster of emotion!

IMO anyone that favors BTC or ETH over Solana clearly only invests and never actually partakes in crypto transactions regularly. From a pure utility and user experience standpoint, the chain is unrivaled. The problem all crypto is facing right now is that new utility is still too focused on quick overnight scams and cash grabs rather than creating lasting value.
Right now crypto sentiment is still primarily motivated by a public perspective of 'how much money will this make me' instead of 'what exactly can I do with this technology' The chain that offers the most utility with the best user experience is most certainly going to win long term given industry regulations permit.

ETH easy mode

Bis Step forward. This makes ETH and BTC the only legible chains.
Others keep their centralised 'leadership' in place. Well, why do people even use them, rather than legacy Databases, which are 10000x faster.
If you need a company/leadership that is responsible and that you can make accountable, do Not pick a Blockchain as your technology.
The whole point (and value) of a Blockchain is, that there is no leaderalship in place.

I've been thinking about where the next wave of TVL actually goes in the perp DEX space, and I keep coming back to the same question: who captures the liquidity when TradFi assets start trading onchain at scale?
We spent the last two years watching perpetual DEXes fight over crypto-native assets BTC, ETH, SOL. That war is mostly priced in. The next one is about real-world assets: stock perps, pre-IPO markets, commodities, FX. And the infrastructure for that doesn't really exist yet at any meaningful depth.
**Why this matters structurally**:
TradFi has roughly $100T+ in equity market cap sitting behind brokers and intermediaries. The addressable market for onchain perpetuals on those assets isn't even 0.1% captured yet. The protocols that build the right primitives permissionless listing, deep liquidity, low fees before institutional flows arrive are going to own an enormous amount of that volume.
The governance question is also underrated. Centralized listing decisions create bottlenecks. A protocol where the community votes on which assets get perpetual markets including things like SpaceX pre-IPO exposure or HK-listed equities is a fundamentally different product from a curated orderbook. It's DeFi-native in a way that most perp DEXes aren't.
I've been looking at Lighter ($LIT) in this context. They raised $89M, sit in the top 3 perp DEX projects by fundamentals, and they're explicitly building into the RWA perp space stock perps, pre-IPO markets, community-governed listings. That combination is rare. Most perp DEXes are still playing the crypto-native game. For reference, I've been tracking this through Bitget's orderbook data on LIT their liquidity and the price up 50% and fee structure is one of the better setups for actually getting exposure to this early if you want to size in before it becomes a consensus trade.
The timing also lines up with what's happening in the broader sector. HYPE has been seeing significant volume and price momentum when the leading perp DEX moves, it historically validates the narrative for the whole category and capital starts rotating into second-tier names with stronger upside relative to where they're priced.
\***The questions I'm sitting with:**
1. Is permissionless listing for RWA perps actually viable at scale, or does regulatory exposure make it a dead end before it gets traction?
2. What's the real moat here is it liquidity depth, fee structure, governance design, or something else? Because the switching costs in perp DEX land are low and the competition is brutal.
3. Is the RWA narrative genuinely a new primitive, or are we just repackaging the same problem with a TradFi wrapper?
Curious what this sub thinks is the RWA perp thesis real infrastructure or just a narrative play? And which protocols do you think are best positioned to actually win this space long term?

*Still here, just not following ETH every day.*
*It's not like the price will change if, instead of once a day, I check once a month. Or once a year.*

ETH is better digital gold.
Keep the message simple. Everything BTC does, ETH does better. Plus it does more.

while that's maybe a factor, it's entirely possible dankrad left ETH for tempo because he came to fundamentally disagree credible neutrality actually provides any value for the protocol.
He worked on it long enough that I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt of just being (IMO) wrong, instead of actively trying to work to nerf ETH haha.

Where to swap BTC to ETH Tokens with low fees?

Maybe most weak hands have sold? So the crash is priced in? I have no idea. But sentiment and price is in the gutter again as before. ETH is just way too volatile. Can’t believe we’re still dealing with this BS after 10 years.

I think I did the math on if I had held my BTC, and ETH mining revenue from 2012-2014 to now instead of mining and selling. Came out to right around $170 million. But I could also have bought a winning powerball ticket and made $800 million in a day.
