Today, ETH mcap represents 14% of the $3.8T total crypto marketcap today.
But together BTC + ETH make up 70% of the global crypto mcap.
Based on its position as the most trusted and reliable world ledger for stablecoins, RWAs, DeFi native assets and TradFi’s default choice for tokenization… easy to imagine ETH commanding a market cap of $35T or more by 2032/2034 whenever ETH inevitably catches up to or flips BTC mcap.
With a max annual issuance capped at <1.5% (without accounting for ETH burn) and the real net inflation far below 1% closer to 0.14-0.8%, let’s just assume an annual inflation of 0.8% over the next 8 years, so we end up with a total supply of 128M ETH by 2033.
Market cap of $35T with 128M ETH
That’d be 62x up from $4400 ETH
Meaning 1 ETH = $274k 😘
Flipping BTC will only result in even more drastic outcomes like 100x ETH at a $52T mcap
Where 1 ETH = $440k
For now, we have 8 years
The ticker is $ETH 🚀

👋 Before I share more, be aware that restaking is not actually restaking--yet. These are pools of staked ETH are sitting in EigenLayer until product(s) go live later in 2024.
🚨 I would consider EL deposits high risk compared to simply holding an LST (ie centralization, bugs).
1/ Ranked #10 among top ETH LSTs, @ether_fi is my shortcut to playing the EigenLayer airdrop with gas savings.
eETH is an all-in-one liquid staking / restaking token.
Just deposit ETH for eETH and you're done!
No need to restake an LST on EL and pay $50 of gas.
eETH earns EL points and EtherFi Loyalty Points.
Plus, one can LP with eETH on Curve, Balancer, Maverick and borrow against it on Gravita.
1/ @Barn_Bridge v2 advances DeFi fixed income.
🧠 Fixed rates are simple + sustainable
⚖️ Fixed positions are borrowable on Aave and soon on @fiatdao so users can get secondary liquidity and leverage positions
🌽 Yield is earned during the prior epoch, guaranteeing the fixed rate
2/ There are two sides to each pool in BB v2.
🧑🌾 Fixed yield position farmers
🌉 LP position* to power the fixed yield
*Additionally @Barn_Bridge DAO will provide liquidity to create higher APYs but the DAO doesn’t earn any yield from its deposits.
📈 Despite the growth and adoption of DeFi money markets, there's still massive room for improvement with capital efficiency.
🦋 @MorphoLabs is a newer p2p matching layer on @AaveAave + @compoundfinance that solves for the large spread paid by borrowers vs earned by lenders.
With @MorphoLabs...
☑️ Lenders earn more
☑️ Borrowers pay less
☑️ Liquidity and liquidation guarantees remain the same
It's a win-win! But the issue atm is a lack of liquidity, likely due to awareness of the solution.
So check out the rates below! It's a no-brainer for me.
😎 For new lenders on @MorphoLabs Aave or Compound markets, they'll initially earn the base supply rate on the respective money market until their liquidity is matched, and then begin to earn higher, sustainable interest.
In an uncertain world seemingly propped up by money printing, I can't imagine ignoring the new Web3 economy, most notably Ethereum-based DeFi.
It's a haven of experimentation yielding net wealth creation, affected but not dependent on forces driving traditional markets.

1/ You don't need to be an economist or mathematician in 2022 to see DeFi's stickiness with users and continued growth.
Like email for money, DeFi promises to be faster, more accessible, and optimistically speaking, more resilient thanks to trustlessness and transparency.
2/ DeFi is:
☑️ Faster in terms of settlement thx to a blockchain
☑️ More accessible but hinges on Internet access for all
☑️ More resilient with instant auditability and coming real-time detection for security & operational monitoring thx to teams like @FortaNetwork
