Ethereum gets stronger when its people ask hard questions. Glamsterdam, the next upgrade, can increase Ethereum’s capacity by over 3x, but developers have raised important concerns about some of the proposed changes. We’ve spent the past week working with the EF, auditors, core developers and community members to investigate them. Here’s where we believe things stand, and how we can move forward together. ethlabs.org/writings/trackin…

Agree with @AndreasSteno
Transportation services remains the big culprit here (energy driven, but a part of core inflation), and then the drop in energy prices was backloaded in October. Not much to see here to be honest. Still energy driven imho, and we know that the tide has turned markedly into November. Better times ahead on inflation now.

Another bank just chose @ethereum. The home of onchain finance.
Replying to @PNCBank
@PNCBank, the 8th-largest US bank, is now taking stablecoin payments on @ethereum , where 53.8% of all stablecoins already sit. Banks go where the dollars are.

To me, the languishing of $ETH price, while disappointing is arguably more a reflection of the impatience of markets - in 2026 - steady and visible progress is made on the tokenization supercycle - vast majority on Ethereum $ETH - founder of ethereum @VitalikButerin affirms $ETH is a store of value - crypto bull market just started - AI narrative is not consuming all incremental capital Adds up to a bullish outlook for crypto next 24-36 months Pls buckle up 🆙
Prices are in free fall into November on everything from shipping to insurance to crack spreads, so seems like November will deliver potentially the softest inflation report on this side of Covid.

ETH is playing the biggest game, which is the SoV game. Read this.
Expanding on why I believe "ETH as store of value (SoV)" makes much more sense to focus on than "ETH as fee-burning token". Three primary reasons: 1. ETH as fee-burning token never was as strong as it seemed 2. Optimizing for ETH as fee-burning token would demand Ethereum and ETH function in ways that are very hard to make compatible with decentralization and capture resistance. 3. Meanwhile, optimizing for ETH as SoV is aligned with Ethereum focusing on its unique strengths (decentralization and CROPS) EIP-1559 (including its burn) is fine and good, we should keep them. But we should not feel sad if fee burn is < 10% of breakeven indefinitely; the value of ETH comes from elsewhere. The core idea: the big thing that people appreciate about Ethereum is decentralization and CROPS. The main pragmatic benefit that these things translate into is stability. SoV is the category where that is not an unneeded extra we merely put effort into for ideological reasons, but rather a pragmatic strength from the perspective of people putting in their assets. And in the era of AI disruption, stability will be highly valued.

The Japanese word for crisis, Ke-Ke, is made up of two words: danger and opportunity. @fundstrat’s Tom Lee said yesterday in his Macro Minute that investors tend to focus on the “danger” in a crisis and then later chase the “opportunity.” He outlined why they should avoid that strategy this time around, even though tech stocks have been dropping sharply. Watch his reasoning in yesterday’s Macro Minute:fundstratdirect.com/macro-st…
