[SMART MONEY] News that shows why REAL YIELD matters 👇 "Bitcoin rose 8% in July, while Ethereum gained 49% for the month" - @Cointelegraph ETH just stole the show. Bitcoin gained a solid 8% in July . . . But Ethereum soared 49%. BTC dominance dropped for the first time in months, rekindling hopes for an altcoin cycle. ETH’s move was driven by something deeper . . . Inflow momentum. ETF adoption. And the rise of Ethereum-backed Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). The Ether Machine. Stablecoin issuers. Tokenized funds. All stacking ETH to power real financial products . . . It’s collateral for treasuries. It’s yield-bearing infrastructure. It’s programmable base money for tokenized markets. And the more ETH these institutions hold, the more pressure there is to deploy it. Staking. Restaking. Vault strategies. We’ve seen this before. It was called DeFi Summer. But this time, it’s not retail yield farming. It’s sovereigns, funds, and fintechs building on ETH rails. The capital is real. The rails are ready. And [SMART MONEY] doesn’t just hold ETH . . . . . . they put it to work. Source in 🧵
