Imagine if you could go back to the early 1990s and had the opportunity to invest in that nascent online bookstore—Amazon. What would you do? Today, Amazon has grown into a $2 trillion tech giant, and those early investors have made a fortune. Now, there is a similar investment opportunity before you, which is Ethereum—but Wall Street seems to be hesitating. Isn't that a regretful miss?
A research analyst from the crypto asset management firm 21Shares recently stated that Ethereum is like Amazon back in the day, with great potential but not straightforward use cases. Despite the launch of the spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund (ETF) in July, the inflow of funds has been relatively low compared to spot Bitcoin ETFs. Why is that?
Ethereum, a platform that has supported decentralized financial applications worth over $140 billion since its launch in 2015, is truly underestimated? It started as a platform for basic smart contracts but has now evolved into an ecosystem with countless possibilities. Just as Amazon transcended the book sector and redefined an entire industry, Ethereum may also surprise us with revolutionary use cases that we cannot fully imagine today.
However, Wall Street investors seem to be waiting and watching. Do they really not see the potential of Ethereum? Or are they just being too cautious, unwilling to invest until Ethereum's potential and use cases are 'more clear'?
But let's look at some facts. The Ethereum network now has over 200,000 active developers contributing to its development. In comparison, Amazon only employed about 7,600 people at the end of the 1990s. Isn't that a shocking comparison? Moreover, as the Ethereum ecosystem continues to grow, we may see its number of employees increase to levels similar to Amazon.
Despite facing challenges from Solana and other Layer-1 competitors, Ethereum still dominates the decentralized exchange, lending, stablecoin, and real-world asset markets. Some globally recognized companies, such as BlackRock, PayPal, and Visa, are also developing on Ethereum. Isn't that a strong testament?
Of course, some investors are concerned about Ethereum's declining revenue. But just like Amazon recorded losses for several consecutive quarters in the 1990s, this does not mean that Ethereum's future lacks hope. On the contrary, Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling strategy is attracting millions of new customers at low cost, which could lay a solid foundation for future revenue growth.
So, what are you waiting for? Do you want to wait until Ethereum has become the next Amazon and then regret not investing earlier? Now is an opportunity, a chance that could make you the next big player in the crypto space!
Don't let this opportunity slip away from you. Let's focus on the development of Ethereum together and seize this investment opportunity that could change your life!
