This closed-door meeting on crypto stocks brought together many well-known Ethereum ecological projects, institutions and investors, including VDX Exchange, EBunker, Hashkey, 0xinfini, Zheng Di, Joy Lou, Alexon, etc.

With the recent strong performance of Ethereum and the accelerated allocation of ETFs and many listed companies, Ethereum has once emerged from an "independent market". The meeting conducted in-depth discussions on hot industry topics such as the core logic behind Ethereum's strong rise, changes in the ecological landscape of Ethereum-related industries, and expectations for Ethereum's long-term development.
The following is a summary of the key points of this discussion.
The core logic behind Ethereum's strong rise
- Traditional institutional funds have become the core driving force behind this round of Ethereum's rise:
The treasury of listed companies led by Sharplink Gaming and Bitmine immersion accelerated the allocation of Ethereum, and the profile of Ethereum holders changed from early speculative retail investors to long-term holders, helping Ethereum break through multiple key positions in this round of rise;
- New applications, new assets, new narratives
:
Stablecoin and RWA are the two largest incremental tracks for traditional institutions to enter the market. Ethereum has become the inevitable choice for institutions because of its highest neutrality and security;
- Chip structure:
Ethereum has experienced a deep wash since 2025, and the chips have undergone a deep turnover, which has become a necessary condition for the start of this wave of market. 

Ethereum-related industry ecological landscape changes
Ethereum treasury companies in the market are still in the early arms race. Compared with Bitcoin treasury companies, Strategy has already occupied an absolute leading position. The overall scale and leading advantage of Ethereum treasury companies are not obvious. At the same time, many potential players are queuing up to enter the market, and the overall track still has a large growth space;- Layer2 has become the first choice for institutions to accelerate the layout of on-chain industries:
Redeveloping a public chain of its own requires extremely high costs. Layer2, relying on the sufficient security of Ethereum, has become the preferred solution for institutions to build an ecosystem. Ethereum's Long-Term Development Outlook
- From improved funding to application implementation and ecological prosperity:
Stage 1: Traditional funding channels such as listed companies and ETFs drive continued strength in Ethereum prices;Stage 2: During the interest rate cut cycle, Ethereum's staking yield surpassed the US risk-free rate, leading to further increased market capital allocation;Stage 3: The dual positive flywheels of asset and funding sides drive ecological prosperity.
