While institutions are increasingly discussing $ETH (what, why, how), they’re not FOMO’ing into it the way they are into $BTC right now.
There are many reasons for this — compared to $BTC, $ETH is younger, takes more time to grok, and constantly has to correct propaganda from #bitcoin maxis.
There’s still a lot of reputation upside for institutions that “get” $ETH early (still a pioneer here)—
—whereas $BTC is quickly becoming a consensus macro trade (now borderline a follower).
When we look back in ten years, I expect both $BTC and $ETH to be trillion dollar assets.
We’ll see $BTC went the gold route, and $ETH went the capital route, to cement their places in global finance.
And as for when institutions start FOMO’ing into $ETH... enjoy the fireworks 💥
Where $BTC is the mother token that spawned all the rest.
What we’re seeing with the SEC is continued formalization about which tokens will be considered securities (eg, $XRP) and which won’t (eg, $BTC & $ETH).
Yesterday in @placeholdervc's Tuesday meeting, @alexhevans pointed out that some of the assets with clearest fundamentals (eg, $MKR and $NXM) are slow and steady in their growth, while some of the shakiest cryptoassets raise eyebrows with their reflexive boom/busts.
.@BradUSV pointed out that sometimes teams that raise on the promise of things, fetch higher valuations than when they have real #'s that bring valuations back to Earth.
