quick plug for those who aren’t subscribed yet — I write a weekly Crypto Venture newsletter (fundraises, M&A, new funds, etc.) that goes out every Monday morning. It features pay-walled Messari fundraising data for free ;) Check it out here: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/crypto-venture-weekly-7256651757164883968

I like the ETH gas buy/sell indicators. I doubt we will see mania for ETH this cycle or even high gas. It's pretty clear that Ethereum is no longer the consumer chain. However, Ethereum is the institutional/enterprise chain, and that brings a lot more value than trading NFTs/memecoins.

completely agree with you — institutional + RWAs adoption on Ethereum is still the largest out of any chain by a mile. I remember similar sentiment of Solana post FTX and look at where it is now. I do think the Ethereum vs. $ETH debate is valid. Ethereum can succeed without $ETH succeeding.

Cooking up a piece on Ethereum’s future with some other Messari analysts. Seems like the sentiment has been in the gutter recently, but maybe starting to pick up again. Who is still bullish Ethereum/$ETH?

Glad they’re changing the name of Warpcast to Farcaster because I never learned the difference

I published the Q1 2025 State of Crypto Fundraising report last week. I thought these awards were quite funny and the farcasters would enjoy. Lmk if you want the link or more insights from the report.

My second monitor never looked so good... Messari just launched its new Terminal-style design. I have all the crypto information I need in one place—I no longer need to have five different tabs open. My customized widgets include: >> Top 100 by Market Cap >> AI Daily Recap >> Research Reports >> Fundraising Data >> Curated News

Meeting with the Meanwhile team on Friday, so I’ll let you know after. Towns seems similar to farcaster tech tbh — curious how its apps’ traction compare to warpcast.

7) A full federal regulatory proposal is due by late July 2025 (180 days after Trump’s Jan. 23 Executive Order). It will include a national framework for stablecoins, exchange oversight, and market structure.

6) The DOJ disbanded its crypto enforcement unit, reinforcing a broader pivot away from punitive oversight toward regulatory clarity.
