Whereas he praised Ethereum for its technical features, Lee defined the principle cause:
“I like Ethereum as a result of it is a programmable good contract blockchain. However actually, the actual cause I selected Ethereum is the explosion of stablecoins. Circle, for instance, had among the best IPOs of the final 5 years. It is pushed some funds to carry out extremely properly, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 100x EBITDA. And it is a stablecoin firm. Stablecoins are just like the ChatGPT of the crypto world. They’ve entered the mainstream. That is proof of Wall Road’s efforts to ‘stake’ tokens. The crypto neighborhood, conversely, is tokenizing shares, just like the tokenization of the US greenback.”
