"Saying Ethereum is the wrong blockchain because it has high gas fees is like saying Amazon shouldn't use the internet because dial-up was slow in 1995.
Banks aren't building on 2015 Ethereum, they're using today's Ethereum stack with tomorrows upgrades."
Tom Zschach, CIO SWIFT
This is what 99% of CT doesn't understand.
ETH is best positioned to capture most upside of coming move to onchain economy with it's ultra secure L1 & L2 scaling this security.
And it's not the ETH tech of October 2025 these companies are choosing. But the tech available next 12+ months:
- Fusaka scaling L2s to 12k+ tps
- L2s like Lighter innovating zk tech
- stage 2 L2s ready for primetime, inherting ~full L1 security (Lighter could lead)
- ERC 7683 introducing interoperability
- MegaETH boasting 100k+ tps
- zk enabling 10k+ L1 tps next few years
Memecoin time is over. Big boys now entering the arena.
... We already saw first steps with Blackrocks tokenized fund, Sonys L2 Soneium or Bloombergs integration of Polymarket into it's terminal. Much more to come here.
- Blockchain tech provides resilient and scalable infrastructure for most usecases.
2/n
- In this world L2s are used intensely and provide execution for most but not all usecases. With ETH being the global single point of truth regarding blockchain contracts L1 retains always a premium due to it's accessability in black swan events & it's maturity.
