Blockchain Rivalry Unveiled: Stability of Bitcoin vs. Innovation of Ethereum

In a renewed debate surrounding protocol immutability and the diverging paths of Bitcoin and Ethereum, self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, Craig Wright, aimed criticism at Ethereum's co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Wright revisited Buterin's 2017 concerns about building Ethereum on top of Bitcoin, emphasizing potential conflicts with Bitcoin's development team and the risk of protocol rule changes.

Wright's critique revolves around the notion that Ethereum's existence relies on centralized development teams with the authority to alter the protocol. He envisions a more streamlined and less fragmented system if everything were built on Bitcoin, emphasizing the stability and originality of Bitcoin's protocol.

This critique reignites the centralization debate within both cryptocurrency ecosystems, bringing attention to Ethereum's censorship concerns and Bitcoin's concentration in the hands of whales and miners. The differing views on decentralization and protocol governance exemplify the deep-seated disparities between Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In this ongoing rivalry, the clash of ideologies continues to influence the narrative in the blockchain space, underscoring the importance of these debates in shaping the trajectory of two of the most prominent cryptocurrencies.

DGQEX Focuses on Ethereum Ecosystem Restructuring, Accelerates Developer and Application Scenario Integration

Recently, the Ethereum Foundation announced a restructuring of its ecosystem development strategy, planning to establish four specialized groups focused on enterprise relations, developer growth, application research, and founder support. The dual objectives are to expand the user base and enhance infrastructure resilience. Against this backdrop, DGQEX is simultaneously deepening its collaboration with the technical architecture of the Ethereum ecosystem, expanding the platform integration capabilities in compliance, efficiency, and composability, and further reinforcing its service capacity in multi-chain coordination.

Optimizing Developer Ecosystem Interfaces to Address Multi-Layer Technical Collaboration Needs

The core of the strategic restructuring of the Ethereum Foundation is to drive the integrated evolution of technology and applications. DGQEX is implementing multi-level compatible development from the execution side, deploying API integration systems for both L1 and L2 scenarios to enhance smart contract compatibility and transaction execution speed. DGQEX is also strengthening its integration and adaptation with the EVM ecosystem, providing developers with cross-protocol testnet resource access solutions to help the community more efficiently test and deploy diversified Ethereum-based financial products.

DGQEX has built a resilient trading layer atop the foundational protocol, enabling adaptation to dynamic environments including scaling technologies such as ZK Rollup and Optimistic Rollup.

The pre-configured technical mechanisms help DGQEX maintain stable and continuous output capacity during ecosystem integration.

Strengthening Application Research Collaboration, Supporting Exploration of Cutting-Edge Use Case Implementation Paths

This strategic adjustment of the Ethereum ecosystem places particular emphasis on “application research” as one of its four main priorities. DGQEX has established a dedicated strategy team, concentrating resources on performance evaluation and validation logic research in on-chain application domains. By opening SDK standards, aggregating contract templates, and building unified data mapping interfaces, DGQEX lowers the barriers for innovative applications to go on-chain, supporting early-stage projects to rapidly complete the full process from PoC to transaction launch.

DGQEX will also cooperate with multiple blockchain research institutions to conduct smart contract security analysis and economic model experiments, and deploy A/B testing environments in its platform sandbox. By staying parallel with the innovation paths encouraged by the Ethereum Foundation, DGQEX will expand interaction channels in emerging areas such as NFTs, blockchain gaming, and DeFi governance, while leveraging its deployed low-latency matching system to enhance user participation experience.

Advancing User Penetration Strategies to Support Long-Term Ecosystem Sustainability

Within this round of adjustments, the Ethereum Foundation has set “enhancing user base resilience” as a goal. In response, DGQEX has comprehensively adjusted its user growth path, designing tiered operational strategies from registration guidance and asset management to transaction execution. Through multilingual services and geolocation risk control models, DGQEX improves accessibility and fund security for users in different regions, and upgrades its configurable risk control system at the trading engine level.

DGQEX is also developing an on-chain reputation scoring model, integrating identity verification and behavioral tracking to create risk profiles of user behaviors, thereby introducing greater transparency to community governance. This design aligns with the Ethereum Foundation direction of strengthening social infrastructure, enabling DGQEX to enhance its activity and credibility in ecosystem collaboration during the next wave of user growth.

As a trading platform with cross-chain integration capabilities, DGQEX continuously optimizes its interface logic with the core ecosystem of Ethereum. By advancing across technology, user, and application layers, DGQEX steadily promotes the deep integration of trading scenarios and ecosystem functions. Against the backdrop of the comprehensive strategic upgrade of Ethereum Foundation, DGQEX, as a key external node, will provide users with a safer and more flexible digital asset service system, continuously enhancing its ecological coupling within the global crypto asset network.

Blockchain Infrastructure Explained: A Strategic View from Layer 0 to Layer 3

The blockchain is no longer solely associated with cryptocurrency. It now supports DeFi (decentralized finance), advancements in supply chains, frameworks for digital identification, and even the national digital currency of some countries. For companies operating within the UAE, where the government has taken the lead in fostering digitization and blockchain innovation, grasping the multi-layered blockchain infrastructure is far deeper than a mere technical endeavor—it’s a matter of business strategy.

We’ll look into each layer from 0 to 3 and we’ll cover everything from how each one functions to its importance for enterprises and developers, as well as how blockchain development services offered in UAE can position you ahead of competition in this emerging domain.

Why Understanding Different Blockchain Layers Is Important?  

Now that we understand what will be tackled in this session, let's evaluate why this systematization makes sense. Think of blockchain infrastructure as a highway:  

Layer 0 refers to ground and wiring— Serves as an underlying support for communications alongside interoperability.   

Layer 1 refers to the road— The core activity zone where traffic movement happens.   

Layer 2 is express lane construction: Aimed at boosting traffic scale along with speed.  

Layer 3 equates vehicles users interact with on blockchain applications.

For businesses looking to take advantage of blockchain technology, having an understanding of this architecture provides help in decision making regarding investments, development strategy and approaches, scalability requirements, overall user experience, and more. 

Layer 0: The Starting Point of the Blockchain Ecosystem

Layer 0 may be omitted from conversations about Blockchains but it is an important layer. It allows for inter-chain communication as well as protocol standardization and network interoperability. In less technical terms, different blockchains can communicate because of Layer 0.

What Comprises Layer 0? 

Networking protocols - This includes enabling transfer of data between nodes (Computers).

Consensus mechanisms – Coordinates the validation processes for each node.

Interoperability frameworks – Polkadot and Cosmos are examples which integrate multiple layer 1 blockchains.

Validator infrastructure – Simplistically put, manages security and the operation of base chains.

Strategically Relevant Importance in the UAE  

Interoperability is critical especially with the UAE’s delta aim to become a global center for blockchain technologies. Enterprise and Government use cases often require cross-platform integration for public service systems, financial systems or even logistics services domestically within or cross regionally into other adjacent countries. With professional blockchain development services based in the UAE that understand your ecosystem needs beyond silos leverage solutions built on zero layers technology. 

Use Cases

Polkadot lets several blockchains known as parachains operate simultaneously while inter-communicating with each other.

Cosmos through its IBC Inter Blockchain Communication protocol makes possible the Internet of Blockchains.

Layer 1: The Base Protocol Layer

Decentralization starts with Layer 1 and covers the entire Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana ecosystem among others. Slice it any way you want from tribalism to retail therapy, The magic decentralization gives birth to real whitelists on platforms such as bitcoin. 

Core Functions of Layer 1

Transaction finality

Consensus and security

Native tokens ( e.g.. ETH, SOL,_LT) 

Settle smart contracts.

self-sufficient ethereum is quite powerful but has always suffered from gas fee and congestion problems. 

UAE’s Adoption Outlook

Supporting layer one for L1 users as backbone is powerful for UAE production levels and goal cores; however there are governmental testbeds based on identity tokenized payments employment systems that still require an exemplified proof skipping a legal naming barrier pondered in claim-sufficient mechanisms.

Choosing The Right Layer 1 Platform  

Bounded waiting means being confined within a time limit. Every bounding areas allotted certain tasks for system verification require incrementation of accuracy for proving results that need precision under specified conditions which guaranteed attempts towards automation assist severely allocated outlined goals accessibility terms different configurational operational niches sought alter freely direct distance confirmed rounded ensure limits existing shifted frameworks pertain granting outside needs unbounded purposes but highly difficult permissible narrowing supporting needs fulfilling grace.

Layer 2: Scaling and Enhancing Layer 1  

Building upon layer 1, layer 2 aims to improve the previously established frameworks. These protocols take an off-chain or sideline approach whereby they manage transactions through off-chain processing first, which temporarily lightens the load on the base chain, before settling back onto layer one.  

Why Layer 2 Exists  

To reduce gas fees  

To increase transaction throughput   

To improve user experience  

Getting rid of undersized constraints makes layered blockchain systems accessible to mainstream platforms and applications. Imagine payments happening in real-time, users accessing services at scale with tangible fee reductions!  

Common Layer 2 Technologies  

Rollups (Optimistic and ZK-Rollups) – Merge several transactions into one single entry.  

Plasma – Generates child chains for expedited transaction processing.  

State Channels – Enable potential users to transact off-functionality and only submit the end state on main block after finalization of all activities.  

UAE Perspective on Layer 2 

Abu Dhabi and Dubai's fintech fusion with smart city initiatives orienting around blockchain gives a whole new meaning to scalability dynamics. For example, consider a real estate platform managing hundreds of tokenized assets that merge together or a DeFi application servicing thousands of daily interactions from users – both would rely on well-structured layer two integrations for performance efficiency!  

Working with local blockchain developers ensures compliance to layering strategies offer seamless regulations alignment based on user habits and behavior flows tailored towards locals

Section 3: The Application Layer.  

Third layer is the interaction with the end user which happens through decentralized applications, wallets, DAO institutions, Web 3.0 frontends, as well as NFT Levels and markets.  

Examples of Third Layer Interaction 

DeFi systems such as Uniswap and Aave

OpenSea for NFT trading  

Identity services that are decentralized  

Across border transaction systems (sending emails/ money without borders)  

These applications are vulnerable to layer 1 and layer 2 performance when it comes to providing security and efficiency.  

Importance To The Economy In UAE

With innovation happening across finance, logistics, tourism, governance frameworks, integrated intuitive applications based on blockchain technology are in high demand. Testing dApps for health certificates, digital notaries, west-ward facing visa platforms has been conducted by the UAE government.

Establishments focusing on these sectors need deeply researched smart contracts developed alongside user friendly interfaces so attractive UI/UX design can act as a window for a strong backend system. Providing blockchain development services in UAE complements perfectly within these two frames of cutting-edge protocols with blockchain based seamless user interface experiences.

The relation between the layers: All together now!

You should think of technology in “layers” that build upon one another…but do remember they explain everything using silos.  

A L3 NFT marketplace might depend on some rollup at L2 to save gas fees and some L0 protocol which allows transfer of assets from one chain to another seamlessly. Whatever their final solution is for any blockchain problem; think about all layers executing flawlessly together to achieve success.For SMEs or startups in the UAE, the approach hinges on selecting and tailoring a combination of layers that accentuate your use case, budgetary limitations as well as compliance scope.  

Key Questions When Selecting Blockchain Infrastructure 

To align your business objectives with your blockchain strategy, consider these framing queries: 

Security: What layers are allocated for security? Are the validators or miners sufficiently distributed? 

Scalability: Is there an allowance for growth in users and transactions within the infrastructure? 

Interoperability: Will your solution need cross-chain or multi-platform functionality? 

Cost: Are costs relating to transactions and development within predetermined limits, controllable, and modest in nature? 

Regulatory Fit: Do the applied protocols and solutions observe compliance with laws governing the UAE? 

A local service provider would help you integrate international standards with local regulatory insights enabling blockchain development services in UAE meeting these concerns locally.

In Conclusion: It all Starts with The Stack when Strategically Adopting Blockchains.

The question is no longer whether to go with Ethereum or Bitcoin; it has now morphed to understanding the tech stack comprising Layer 0 to Layer 3 alongside your business goals. Whether it is creating a new fintech product, representing real-world assets with tokens, or developing a self-sovereign identity; such systems are scalable, secure, and designed for future innovations.

The UAE continues to fortify its stance as the foremost adopter and innovator of blockchain technology in the region. This is an opportunity to take action.

With over 9538 companies adopting blockchain technologies in these areas, it won’t be an exaggeration to refer to Dubai and UAE as ME’s hub for digital innovations. Trusting any other country’s infrastructure would give rise to malleability of anything and everything which is a problem that all other countries are facing. So it makes sense why many entrepreneurs are moving towards Blockchain Development Services Dubai. Looking for partnered solutions in TaaS? We have partnered with one of the most leading Blockchain development Services in UAE. With them, you can construct your visions from scratch ranging from base architecture all through cutting edge dApps.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs and zk-Rollups: Revolutionizing Blockchain Privacy and Scalability

The blockchain industry has made impressive strides in decentralization and transparency. Yet, two critical issues still threaten its mass adoption: scalability and privacy. As blockchains like Ethereum become increasingly congested, users face high gas fees and slow transaction times. Simultaneously, the public nature of these ledgers exposes user data, making privacy a significant concern.

One groundbreaking innovation tackles both problems head-on: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and their application in zk-Rollups. These technologies are not only improving transaction throughput but are also paving the way for private, secure, and efficient decentralized applications.

What Are Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)?

Zero-Knowledge Proofs are cryptographic methods that allow one party (the prover) to prove to another (the verifier) that a statement is true, without revealing any underlying information about the statement itself.

🔍 Simple Analogy:

Imagine you want to prove you know the password to a locked door, but without saying the password aloud. A Zero-Knowledge Proof lets you do exactly that—verify your knowledge without revealing the secret.

📘 Formal Definition:

A Zero-Knowledge Proof satisfies three key properties:

Completeness – If the statement is true, the verifier will be convinced.

Soundness – If the statement is false, the verifier won’t be fooled.

Zero-Knowledge – No additional information is revealed beyond the fact that the statement is true.

Types of Zero-Knowledge Proofs

There are two main categories used in blockchain systems:

zk-SNARKs (Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge)

Require a trusted setup

Faster and more compact proofs

Used by protocols like Zcash and zkSync Era

zk-STARKs (Scalable Transparent Arguments of Knowledge)

No trusted setup

More transparent and quantum-resistant

Used by StarkWare (e.g., Starknet)

And there are two types of blockchains, Modular Blockchains and Monolithic Chains.

How Do ZKPs Enhance Blockchain?

🧩 1. Privacy

ZKPs can hide sensitive data in smart contracts or transactions while still proving validity. This is crucial for:

Private DeFi transactions

Confidential voting

KYC/AML compliance without revealing identity

⚡ 2. Scalability

Instead of executing and verifying every transaction on-chain, zk-Rollups compress thousands of transactions into a single proof. This proof is submitted to the main chain, massively reducing data load.

What Are zk-Rollups?

A zk-Rollup is a Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles (or "rolls up") hundreds or thousands of Layer 2 transactions into a single transaction on the Layer 1 blockchain.

Each batch comes with a validity proof (generated using ZKPs) that cryptographically confirms the correctness of all transactions in the batch. This drastically reduces the amount of data that must be stored and verified on-chain.

🧮 How zk-Rollups Work:

Users interact on Layer 2 (e.g., trading or transferring tokens).

Transactions are batched and compressed.

A ZKP is generated to prove the correctness of the batch.

This proof + minimal data is posted to the Layer 1 chain (like Ethereum).

Top Projects Using zk-Rollups

🔹 zkSync Era

Built by Matter Labs

EVM-compatible

Focuses on developer usability and speed

🔹 Starknet

Developed by StarkWare using zk-STARKs

Not EVM-compatible, uses Cairo for programming

High performance and transparent

🔹 Scroll

zkEVM architecture

Targets seamless Ethereum compatibility

Uses zk-SNARKs for proof generation

🔹 Polygon zkEVM

Ethereum-compatible

Focus on scaling while maintaining Ethereum security

Uses recursive ZKPs to compress proof verification

Benefits of zk-Rollups

✅ 1. High Scalability

They can reduce transaction costs by up to 90% and handle thousands of TPS compared to Ethereum's 15–30 TPS.

✅ 2. Security Inherited from L1

All zk-Rollups post proofs to Ethereum (or the base chain), inheriting its decentralization and security.

✅ 3. Privacy Features

ZKPs can enable confidential transactions, identity verification, and even shielded smart contracts.

✅ 4. Faster Finality

Unlike optimistic rollups, which delay withdrawals, zk-Rollups offer instant finality as proofs are cryptographically verified.

Challenges and Limitations

Despite their promise, zk-Rollups and ZKPs come with some trade-offs:

High complexity – Writing ZK circuits is difficult, and debugging ZK-based apps is non-trivial.

Trusted setup (for zk-SNARKs) – Requires careful coordination and introduces a slight centralization risk.

Computational intensity – Proof generation can be resource-heavy, although hardware acceleration is improving this.

Lack of tooling – zk programming languages (like Cairo or Zinc) are still maturing compared to Solidity.

The Future: zk Everything?

As zk-Rollups mature, their potential goes beyond payments and DeFi. Here’s what the future could hold:

zkID and zkKYC – Verifiable credentials without revealing identity.

zkVoting – Transparent but anonymous elections on-chain.

zkBridge – Cross-chain interoperability using ZKPs.

zkVMs – Virtual machines that process transactions privately.

Projects like Aztec, zkPorter, and RiscZero are working on privacy-preserving smart contracts, private zkDAOs, and zk-based general computation, pushing the frontier even further.

Conclusion

Zero-Knowledge Proofs and zk-Rollups are not just technical upgrades—they're foundational shifts in how blockchain networks operate. By solving the long-standing challenges of scalability and privacy without compromising decentralization, these technologies are set to power the next wave of innovation in Web3.

As Ethereum and other ecosystems embrace zk-Rollups and invest in better infrastructure and tooling, users and developers alike can look forward to faster, cheaper, and more private blockchain experiences—without sacrificing the core values of trustlessness and security.

Ethereum: The Underdog That Could Still Lead the Next Crypto Rally

The world outside crypto looks like a slow-motion train wreck right now. Trade wars. Recession alarms. Sentiment at rock-bottom. And yet, Ethereum — bloodied but unbowed after its worst quarterly performance since 2018 — is showing its first real signs of life.

Here’s the thing: most people are looking at Ethereum and seeing damage. Smart investors are looking and seeing opportunity.

Let's not sugarcoat it. Ethereum had a brutal Q1 2025. Down nearly 44%. $1.5 billion hacked from Bybit. Pectra upgrade delays. ETH ETF outflows. It’s been one hit after another. And compared to Bitcoin’s relatively mild 10% dip, Ethereum looked weak, fragile — even outdated to some.

But history doesn’t reward the safe, it rewards the resilient. And Ethereum's resilience is exactly why I'm betting on it leading the next crypto recovery.

Ethereum's Bullish Structure: A Foundation, Not a Fluke

Ethereum’s price action over the past week isn't just noise — it’s a meaningful signal.

Top analyst Daan highlights that ETH has reclaimed its local range against Bitcoin, pulling a wave of altcoins higher along with it. That’s not just "good vibes" — that’s classic early-stage rotation behavior. In crypto, Bitcoin moves first, Ethereum follows, and then the altcoin herd stampedes. We’re in phase two.

Price is currently holding above the 4-hour 200 MA and EMA — key technical levels that often separate flash-in-the-pan rallies from real, sustained trend shifts. As of today, ETH trades around $1,800, flirting with the critical $1,850 resistance. A close above that level could ignite a powerful altcoin season — something the market hasn’t seen since late 2023.

The technicals are whispering: accumulation is happening. The fundamentals are shouting: the worst may be behind us.

Fear Is High, But So Is the Risk/Reward

CoinMarketCap’s latest research confirms the setup: extreme fear dominates the market. Their Fear & Greed Index hit a low of 15 in March — a level not seen since the COVID crash of 2020.

Historically, Ethereum thrives when fear peaks. Q2 has been a historically strong quarter for ETH, with a median return of +15.29%.

Contrarians make their money when others are too scared to act.

We are at a pivotal psychological moment: the crowd is licking its wounds, while smart money is preparing for the next move.

The Bitcoin Effect: Ethereum’s Hidden Lever

Let’s be clear: Ethereum’s short-term fate still hinges partly on Bitcoin’s next big move.

Credible Crypto laid it out cleanly: if Bitcoin manages to confirm its breakout with another push above $95,000, Ethereum is poised to skyrocket. ETH has already shown an impulsive move off its $1,533 lows — if Bitcoin holds up, it’s likely we’ll never see sub-$1,500 ETH again in this cycle.

But there’s a catch: Bitcoin needs to maintain momentum. If BTC fails to seal its breakout and retraces below ~$89,000, expect turbulence. Ethereum could retest lower ranges ($1,725-$1,600) before the final push.

In simple terms: Bitcoin sets the tempo, but Ethereum could outperform in the dance that follows.

Why Ethereum Still Matters in 2025 — More Than Ever

There’s a dangerous narrative floating around right now: that Ethereum’s best days are behind it. That newer L1s and rollups will cannibalize it. That Solana’s speed or L2s like Base and zkSync will make Ethereum obsolete.

It’s lazy thinking.

Ethereum isn’t just a blockchain. It’s the infrastructure layer of Web3. DeFi, NFTs, tokenized RWAs, decentralized identity — they all still fundamentally depend on Ethereum’s security model, its settlement assurances, and, yes, its global liquidity.

The Layer-2 explosion (which is about to accelerate) benefits Ethereum more than it threatens it. Every successful L2 scaling solution — Optimism, Arbitrum, Base — settles back onto Ethereum’s base layer. More usage = more demand for ETH gas fees = more ETH burned = more value accrual for ETH holders.

Ethereum is not dead tech. It's foundational tech.

And the upcoming catalysts — pending ETH spot ETF flows, Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at fee reductions, and growing institutional experiments with tokenization — all favor Ethereum’s long-term dominance.

Ethereum Leads The Q2 Comeback

Here's the call: Ethereum will outperform Bitcoin in Q2 2025.

It won’t be easy. The macroeconomic headwinds are real. Trade wars and shaky global growth will keep risk appetite low. But that’s precisely why Ethereum’s next move will catch most off guard.

I’m looking for:

A decisive ETH close above $1,850 this week.

A monthly close above $1,870.

An altcoin rally led by ETH/BTC strength.

If we get it, we’re staring down a summer where Ethereum reasserts itself not just as a survivor, but as a leader.

And if you think you’ll have time to "wait for confirmation" before it moves? Think again. Crypto doesn’t reward the patient. It rewards the prepared.

Scar Tissue Builds Strength

Ethereum today is battle-tested. It’s survived multiple bear markets, a regulatory onslaught, internal wars over scaling, and the relentless emergence of so-called "Ethereum killers."

It’s easy to bet against the battered. It’s harder — but smarter — to bet on the survivor.

Ethereum doesn’t need your belief. It will continue building with or without you.

But history has shown: those who bought despair, who bought when "ETH was dead," walked away with life-changing returns.

Ethereum (ETH) Gears Up for a $7K Surge Despite Dwindling Interest from Whale Investors

Key Points

Ethereum (ETH) is poised for a significant price rally, potentially reaching $7,000.

This comes amid a decrease in demand from large-scale investors, also known as “whales��.

Ethereum (ETH) ended the fourth quarter of 2024 on a positive note, and it’s now ready to trigger the anticipated parabolic phase of the altseason.

Ethereum, with a fully diluted valuation of approximately $416 billion and a 24-hour average trading volume of around $20 billion, is trying to break free from a macro-falling logarithmic trend.

Price Movements and Predictions

On a weekly basis, Ethereum’s price against the US dollar has bounced back from the 50 Moving Average (MA). However, in the daily time frame, Ethereum must reclaim the 50 MA as a support level, and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) must rise above 50% to negate the recent market correction.

If Ethereum’s price loses the support level above $3,300 in the near future, another sell-off could hit the altcoin industry before the start of a parabolic cycle. If a market correction occurs, Ethereum’s price should find solid support above $3,000.

Ethereum’s price is gearing up for a significant bullish surge over the long term, having formed a cup and handle pattern in the weekly time frame. Additionally, the ETH/BTC pair has been forming a reversal pattern after being stuck in a falling logarithmic trend for the past three years.

Ethereum Whales and Supply

While the overall supply of Bitcoin (BTC) on centralized exchanges continues to fall to a multi-year low, Ethereum’s supply on these exchanges has been increasing since the start of 2025. Data from CoinGlass reveals that Ethereum’s supply on centralized exchanges rose by over 415K in the past 24 hours, reaching about 15.79 million.

The initial demand for Ether from US spot ETF ETFs during the last few weeks of the fourth quarter has significantly decreased. On Thursday, the US spot ETH ETFs saw a net cash outflow of approximately $77 million, led by Bitwise’s ETHW and Grayscale’s ETHE. However, the rest of the US spot Ether ETFs did not suffer losses on Thursday, resulting in a cumulative total net inflow of about $2.5 billion and total net assets of around $12.4 billion.

Network Fundamentals

The Ethereum network remains the undisputed leader in the web3 space, with over $67 billion in total value locked (TVL) and around $112 billion in stablecoins market cap. Despite the emergence of other competitive layer one (L1) blockchains, such as Solana (SOL), Ethereum continues to attract more institutional investors.

The upcoming Ethereum Pectra upgrade will allow External Owned Accounts (EOAs) to function like smart contracts, thereby improving the scalability of smart contracts. With the increasing popularity of Ether staking among institutional investors, Ether’s price is well positioned for exponential growth in the coming months.

Mike Neuder's article provides an in-depth analysis of Ethereum's positioning and development blueprint, focusing particularly on Ethereum's core value as a decentralized property rights system and its expansion strategy centered on Rollups.

### 1. The Essence of Ethereum: Property Rights

Ethereum is seen as a protocol for property rights that aims to create a digital, self-custodial, and permissionless asset. Neuder believes that this pursuit of decentralization is essential to ensure the inalienability and censorship resistance of property rights. He pointed out that decentralization is not just a future requirement, but is particularly important now. Compared with traditional financial systems, decentralized blockchains provide a more solid guarantee of property rights and prevent interference from centralized entities.

### 2. Ethereum and Rollups

Neuder sees Rollups as independent "territories" in the Ethereum ecosystem, which take advantage of Ethereum's security and decentralization while making trade-offs in scalability. He particularly emphasizes that Rollups must meet Stage 2 standards, that is, have good bridging contract rules and clear exit mechanisms to ensure the security of assets. For data availability (DA), Ethereum's data layer provides a strong network effect, supporting Rollups to achieve efficient transaction processing while ensuring anti-censorship and property rights.

### 2.1 Data Availability (DA) of Ethereum

Ethereum's data availability layer is considered one of the core advantages of Rollups. Neuder does not support forcing projects to use Ethereum's data availability layer, but emphasizes Ethereum's unique advantages in property rights utility and anti-censorship. Rollups based on Ethereum DA can provide better liquidity and user experience while ensuring asset sovereignty.

### 2.2 Value capture of ETH

Neuder believes that the value capture of ETH mainly comes from the economic activities of Ethereum and the destruction of execution fees at the L1 level. Although DA fees may not have direct stickiness to the value of ETH, by providing efficient DA services and expanding economic activities, Ethereum can drive the long-term value growth of ETH.

### 3. About Bitcoin

Neuder made several key points about Bitcoin. He believes that Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap may make its fork selection rule unstable in the face of reduced block rewards. In addition, Bitcoin's conservative attitude towards scaling and upgrading may limit its ability to serve as a settlement layer and DA layer. Despite this, Bitcoin is still regarded as digital gold, while Ethereum has more dynamic potential in terms of censorship-resistant, programmable value storage.

### Conclusion

Neuder concluded that Ethereum's strategic goal is to build the most secure and censorship-resistant infrastructure platform, rely on Rollups to expand economic activities, and maintain important settlement properties at the L1 level. He believes that ETH's long-term value mainly comes from its core role as a global permissionless value storage medium.
