Odaily News: Crypto trader Ansem posted on X platform stating that over the past few years, crypto assets have performed at historically low levels relative to other asset classes, primarily due to factors including talent flowing into the AI industry, insufficient innovation following the DeFi boom, and gold undergoing a massive value reassessment. Combined with the large-scale liquidation event in the altcoin market on October 10 last year, both institutional and retail sentiment and positioning allocation toward altcoins are currently at multi-year lows, potentially even hitting historic lows.On the other hand, some altcoins currently possess characteristics such as reduced VC selling pressure, genuine product-market fit (PMF) built on crypto infrastructure, and benefits from an improving regulatory environment. Additionally, the massive paper gains generated by the AI supercycle could serve as a potential source of capital. He predicts that future market capital will become more concentrated in a select few tokens with fundamental support, and once these tokens attract buying interest, their prices could rise rapidly.

Odaily News: Initiatives by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) may drive the expansion of regulated on-chain trading and boost institutional participation.Legal experts say the regulatory framework is expected to advance gradually, but gaps remain that will need to be addressed by the U.S. Congress. Crypto industry executives believe that the failure of the Clarity Act to pass will create opportunities for decentralized finance (DeFi), but established exchanges may continue to maintain a competitive advantage.

Odaily News — Blockworks analyst Jake Koch-Gallup published a piece rebutting the view that Ethereum is losing its liquidity moat, arguing that although ETH's value capture capability and stablecoin market share face challenges, its reserve asset properties, Layer 2 ecosystem, and institutional adoption still constitute long-term competitive advantages.Jake pointed out that ETH's valuation depends not only on real economic value (REV), but also includes reserve asset and collateral premiums, with its current market cap at approximately 1,100 times its REV over the past 12 months. Ethereum still accounts for roughly 65% of DeFi's total value locked and about 45% of on-chain RWA management scale. Spot ETFs and corporate treasuries collectively hold approximately 13% of ETH's supply, while another roughly 36% of the supply is in staking.Additionally, he believes that the development of Layer 2 networks such as Base and Robinhood Chain still helps strengthen the Ethereum ecosystem, and the overall expansion of the stablecoin market may also offset the impact of declining share. However, he acknowledged that without sufficient revenue and value回流 mechanisms, relying solely on reserve asset premiums to support ETH's valuation still faces sustainability debates.
