ChainCatcher message, Nick Tomaino, the founder of 1confirmation, posted on X: "We support Ethereum because we care about the truth and want you to win, even though some people on X will tell you otherwise. In any case, Ethereum will break through $10,000. The facts are:The best crypto developers are still building on Ethereum, just as they have been for the past seven years. L2s like Base are where builders are gathering. DeFi, NFTs, stablecoins, prediction markets, decentralized social networks, etc., are all Ethereum-first platforms, and it's likely that breakthrough games, payments, AI agents, X-to-earn applications, and more will emerge from here.Getting ahead with new use cases will create powerful, defensible network effects. Once a new use case succeeds on Ethereum, other chains will replicate it. Take NFTs and stablecoins as examples; the dominance of these two use cases on Ethereum is undeniable.On-chain usage drives value for ETH holders because ETH has an excellent monetary policy. Transaction fees are burned, so as usage increases, if the amount of ETH burned exceeds staking rewards, the supply will decrease. Bitcoin has a simple digital gold narrative that institutions have embraced: a total supply of 21 million by 2140. Ethereum's scarcity narrative is not superficially simple, but it is equally powerful.The distribution of ETH as a currency is happening simultaneously at both institutional and local levels. In the last five months of 2024, the inflow of funds into ETH ETFs has been strong, but it is expected to accelerate in 2025 as Wall Street deepens its understanding of ETH, and ETFs will also begin staking. Meanwhile, the growth of applications on L2 and the upcoming L3 will accelerate the local adoption of ETH as a currency."

This will significantly shorten the time required to complete the DAO launch process, leading to an increasing number of DAOs within the Bio Protocol ecosystem.Currently, their internal team has reviewed 20-30 DAOs, of which 10 DAOs have basically completed the process. It is expected that 15-20 DAOs will be cold-launched through the launchpad in Q1 of next year.

ChainCatcher news, Matrixport released a daily chart stating that Ethereum, similar to Bitcoin, often loses momentum when prices rise significantly, especially when prices increase by more than 60% within 30 days. Historically, this has often been a good opportunity to take profits. Currently, the price has retraced to the level it was a month ago, which may indicate that a re-entry opportunity is brewing, especially if the cryptocurrency bull market is expected to last until 2025.It is worth noting that Ethereum has not exhibited the higher beta characteristics seen in the previous bull market during this round of rebound. However, it remains a favored asset among investors. The recent continuous inflow of ETF funds is the best proof of this. This strong demand not only highlights Ethereum's important position but also indicates that it remains a focus of attention even if it has slightly underperformed expectations in this cycle.
