EtherFi's card business is out-earning staking on just 5% of TVL, making its pivot from liquid staking to a full neobank one of the wisest moves of this cycle. Card revenue rose from $965 six months ago to $525k today, versus staking revenue rising from $121k to $197k. x.com 

Ether.fi is evolving from a crypto card app into a real neobank, which could send the ETHFI token back toward past highs. The latest update adds new funding methods, stock trading and Aave-integrated loans against accounts, and restarts buybacks at $1.3M a month. At a 400M FDV and fully unlocked with no supply overhang, it compares with LIT at 2B-plus with similar buybacks. Returning to the $5-7 range would mean 10-15x, or roughly 4-6B FDV, which looks very possible. x.com 

ether.fi fits a strategy of buying crypto assets at the intersection of growth and value: those growing fastest while still reasonably valued, an overlap a long, deep bear market has made possible. Its neobrokerage and 24/7 trading and tokenization fall within one of the two most interesting segments, alongside crypto and AI, and liquid tokens now offer more opportunity than venture deals. rss.flightcast.com 

ether.fi is moving to own its entire neobank stack by launching its own stablecoin on Ethena's white-label platform, the right goal for a neobank. Per Ethena, ether.fi holds over $300 million of stablecoin deposits, its Cash card has reached nearly $1 billion of cumulative spend and more than 100,000 active cards, and owning the stack lets the best stablecoin neobanks earn from idle deposit balances. The outlook for the ETHFI token stays maximally bullish. x.com  x.com 

ether.fi looks very attractive relative to what it earns. Per @DeFi_Dad citing DefiLlama, it generates about $239 million in annualized fees and about $55 million in annualized revenue against a market cap near $312 million. Valuation should be based on revenue rather than fees, which makes the multiple higher than @DeFi_Dad's 1.3x, but it is still great. x.com 

Ethereum faces slightly higher near-term selling risk as net inflows raise Binance's sellable ETH supply. Some 55,471 ETH entered and 47,596 left, net 7,875, though both flows have slowed. If inflows persist this week with ETF outflows and high US Treasury yields, pressure could grow around the Fed decision. Rising cumulative ETH 2.0 transactions bode well for network use, not direct demand or relief today. Losing $2,280-2,300 adds downside risk; recovery needs flow and price confirmation. x.com 

Mastercard benefits as cash payments keep moving to cards worldwide, making it a five-year buy at today's valuation. It keeps about 60 cents of each revenue dollar as operating profit; revenue grew 14% and EPS 21% last quarter. Stablecoins and bank-to-bank apps could bypass the network, but stablecoins might instead drive growth. x.com 

Ethereum is where institutions and smart capital keep their value in DeFi. Its TVL is nearly double the roughly $23 billion combined on BNB Chain, Solana, Tron, Base and Bitcoin, because its collateral is deepest, apps are battle-tested, stablecoin rails are strongest and large capital can move securely. Fundstrat and BitMine could be among the biggest winners in the second half of the decade. x.com 

Ethereum is a buy, stake and hold as institutions accumulate and supply tightens. Spot ETF holdings rose from 3% to 10% of supply in a year, treasury vehicles keep stacking, 30% of ETH is staked, exchange balances keep falling and fee burns offset issuance in busy periods. Most stablecoin and tokenized-asset activity routes through Ethereum and its L2s, and staking pays about 3%. Institutional tokenization will happen, perhaps outside the US first. The Wave 3 target is $9,200. x.com 

Ethereum can reach $20,000 this cycle because it now has the institutional support it lacked last cycle. BitMine and other Ethereum treasury companies are buying ETH, including through BitMine's preferred offering, much as bitcoin treasuries lifted bitcoin before. ETH is a top chain for stablecoins and the largest lending venue in crypto, the agentic AI narrative adds demand, and burns make it scarce. The macro environment also favors high-beta scarce assets. x.com
