Ethereum Turns 10 – And It’s Just Getting Started
A decade ago, Ethereum began as a chaotic experiment — internal rifts, devastating hacks, insane price swings. Most wrote it off.
Yet today?
$ETH is back near $3,700.
The Nasdaq just honored its 10-year anniversary.
Even the White House is calling this a “Golden Age of Crypto.”
What changed?
According to the Financial Times, here are 5 truths investors must understand:
1. Not All Crypto is Equal:
Ethereum is infrastructure, not just an asset.
2. The Doom Narrative Was Wrong:
Yes, scams happened.
But $2.3T in crypto market cap, $270B in stablecoins, and Ethereum handling Visa-level volumes says something bigger is happening.
3. Wall Street is In:
BlackRock, Fidelity, JPMorgan — no longer on the sidelines.
Crypto ETFs, stablecoins, and staking models are becoming mainstream.
4. Geopolitics Just Flipped:
Crypto isn’t “anti-state” anymore. It’s now statecraft.
Dollar-backed stablecoins are the new economic weapon.
5. Ethereum is Antifragile:
After all the storms, it didn’t break — it evolved.
It’s now more energy-efficient, more scalable, and more essential.
So here’s the real takeaway:
Crypto is no longer fringe.
It’s part of the global financial narrative — and growing fast.
The question isn't if to invest — it’s how smartly.
