Consensys founder Lubin: Ethereum will focus on three core areas in the future: capacity expansion, user experience, and basic research and development

Consensys founder Lubin: Ethereum will focus on three core areas in the future: capacity expansion, user experience, and basic research and development

PANews reported on October 2 that according to Golden Finance, at the TOKEN2049 conference, Consensys founder and CEO Joseph Lubin elaborated on the three core development priorities of Ethereum in the future: expansion, optimizing user experience (UX), and basic research and development. Lubin explained that the expansion aims to achieve "millions of TPS" by optimizing the main network and utilizing Layer 2; optimizing the user experience focuses on solving pain points such as private key management and gas fee fluctuations; the focus of basic research and development is to invest in zero-knowledge proof technology to protect privacy and upgrade the PoS consensus mechanism. Lubin also emphasized the potential for integrating AI and blockchain, arguing that smart contracts could address the "unverifiable" nature of AI results. He also urged developers to focus more on real-economy needs, such as cross-border remittances and the integration of traditional assets into blockchains, rather than short-term speculation.

Pantera Partners: Solana's annual revenue has reached $2 billion and is doubling, making it very attractive to traditional investors

Pantera Partners: Solana's annual revenue has reached $2 billion and is doubling, making it very attractive to traditional investors

PANews reported on October 2nd that according to ChainCatcher, at the "Solana Treasury Bet" roundtable at the TOKEN2049 conference, Pantera Capital partner Cosmo Jiang stated that Solana currently generates $2 billion in annual revenue, and that this revenue is still growing at a rate of two times per year. He believes that if measured by stock market standards, this growth rate and profitability are very attractive to traditional investors. Saurabh Sharma, CIO of Jump Crypto, who also participated in the discussion, stated that the Solana Treasury (DAT) provides traditional institutions with a familiar tool to enter the crypto market. Jason Urban, Head of Global Trading at Galaxy, noted that under the new US regulatory environment, many Level 1 and Level 2 structures are no longer considered securities, opening the door for publicly listed companies to acquire cryptocurrencies.

TON Strategy CEO Rejects Bubble Fears Around Crypto Treasuries

TON Strategy CEO Rejects Bubble Fears Around Crypto Treasuries

For the near future, Kapustina predicts consolidation rather than collapse. Coinbase’s David Duong also explained at Token2049 that mergers, acquisitions, and crypto-native yield strategies will define the next phase as firms compete to dominate tokens. Despite skepticism over share buybacks, DATs continue to accumulate massive Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings.Crypto Treasuries Look Like Hype Not BubbleAt the Token2049 conference in Singapore, TON Strategy CEO Veronika Kapustina shared her perspective on the booming corporate digital asset treasury (DAT) sector, which quickly became one of the hottest trends in both crypto and traditional finance. Kapustina acknowledged that the surge in DATs has all the signs of a bubble, but also pointed out that it differs from previous financial bubbles because it represents an entirely new segment of the financial system. She explained that digital asset treasuries became “the trade of the summer,” by attracting fast money and speculative investors, but now the market is maturing with more sophisticated participants carefully separating quality projects from unsustainable ones.Kapustina described digital asset treasuries as a bridge between traditional finance and the crypto economy, with long-term potential that goes well beyond the hype cycle. While she does not expect a crash, she does expect a period of consolidation as many newly launched treasuries struggle to reach their ambitious goals. This natural cooling off period, she argued, will pave the way for medium- to long-term capital to flow in. This will build a more sustainable foundation for the sector.Kapustina also credited Michael Saylor’s Strategy with pioneering the DAT model by adopting Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. Since then, the model expanded to include other leading cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, and Toncoin, the native token of The Open Network. Kapustina believes this evolution proves that the concept works across multiple blockchain ecosystems, and she outlined possible future paths for DATs, including providing financial infrastructure, pursuing banking licenses, enabling mergers and acquisitions, and serving as technology bridges between chains.Despite the concerns about overheated valuations, corporate crypto treasuries continued to accumulate assets aggressively throughout the year. Data shows that more than 1.3 million Bitcoin, which is worth close to $158 billion, are currently held in corporate treasuries. BTC in treasuries (Source: BitcoinTreasuries.NET)Similarly, Ethereum treasuries secured around 5.5 million ETH valued at $24 billion, representing 4.5% of its total supply. Kapustina believes that in the long run, investors will recognize the true value of DATs not only as a bridge between traditional finance and crypto, but also for their role in securing networks and supporting blockchain utility.Digital Asset Treasuries Enter Next PhaseThe digital asset treasury sector is entering a new stage of maturity. This is according to Coinbase’s head of investment research, David Duong. At Token2049, Duong suggested that mergers and acquisitions could become a dominant theme as companies look for ways to stand out and secure investor confidence. He pointed to the recent all-stock deal in which Bitcoin treasury firm Strive acquired fellow digital asset treasury Semler Scientific as an early sign of this trend.Duong explained that while many DATs initially focused on share price strategies, the market is now seeing a push toward more crypto-native approaches like staking and DeFi looping, where assets are repeatedly borrowed and repositioned to maximize yield. However, he also pointed out that the sector’s long-term trajectory will depend heavily on regulatory clarity, liquidity conditions, and market forces. Standard Chartered predicted in mid-September that not all treasuries will survive, which will force weaker players either to adapt or disappear. The competitive nature of the market already pushed DATs into what Duong described as a player-vs-player phase, where companies attempt to dominate individual tokens. This led to aggressive share buybacks that are aimed at boosting stock prices and signaling strength to investors. Some of the more recent moves included Trump Jr.-linked Thumzup increasing its buyback program from $1 million to $10 million, and Solana-focused DeFi Development Corp expanding its plan from $1 million to $100 million. Duong suggested that the underlying motivation is the belief that only a handful of treasuries will ultimately emerge as leaders for each major token, whether it be Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana.Still, share buybacks have not always produced the desired effect. Duong warned that these programs are highly sentiment-driven and can be perceived as a defensive maneuver rather than a show of strength. For example, TON Strategy Company, formerly Verb Technology, announced a buyback in September. After this, its shares dropped 7.5% as investors questioned the company’s long-term strategy.Despite these challenges, digital asset treasuries continue to accumulate holdings.

Bo Hines Sheds Light on GENIUS Stablecoin Project, Calls it “First Piece of the Puzzle”

Bo Hines Sheds Light on GENIUS Stablecoin Project, Calls it “First Piece of the Puzzle”

Bo Hines takes pride in crafting one of the leading crypto regulations in the US – the GENIUS Act. Speaking at a fireside chat at Token2049 in Singapore, he said that the process was phenomenal at the White House. “The President has built a team that can actually move at tech speed in order to do this.” He said that the US was clearly lagging behind in regulations. “We understand the need to move expeditiously, and I think that we acted on that,” said Bo, adding that it was tough for regulators, and they are still learning how these products actually work. Bo Hines recently stepped down as executive director of the White House Crypto Council to join private sector. He later joined stablecoin giant Tether as a Strategic Advisor for it’s new stablecoin, USAT, designed for the US market and complies with the US GENIUS Act. “Obviously, I am out of my government role now, I’d love to see the government set a standard in terms of what tech integration could look like,” Bo told Cody Carbone, CEO of the Digital Chamber, on Wednesday at the Singapore event. GENIUS Act Was Critical: It Was the “First Piece of the Puzzle” GENIUS Act, the stablecoin regulatory framework in the US, was passed within six months. Bo called it the “first piece of the puzzle.” “In order to have a completely renovated and revolutionized economic state, we had to start by updating the payment rails that existed, many of which were archaic.” He noted that there was a tremendous battle inside the system. There was a lot of conversations and healthy debates, he added. “I think at the point, the US will be the powerhouse in this space. Again, they will reestablish themselves and become the crypto capital, just as David and the President had outlined at the beginning of the process.” With regulations in place, banks would slowly integrate these technologies, Bo said. “Tech integrations are very simple, so banks are starting to figure it out.” America Wanted to Create the “Most Fair and Robust” Crypto Report: Bo Hines The White House has been working on the crypto report simultaneously with legislative priorities. The goal was to create “the most fair and robust standard that has ever been set from a government perspective,” Bo told Cody Carbone. “And how we did this is we set up an internal working group inside of the government, which included the SEC, CFTC treasury, commerce, all of the bank regulators, and we’d sit down with them on a weekly basis, saying that, let’s evaluate what the standard should be here, let’s talk about what market structure actually needs to include.” Currently, Patrick Woody is replacing Bo Hines in the White House as the executive director of the Council. “He’s working with the same folks that obviously helped build this comprehensive report,” Bo added. Talking about Tether’s new stablecoin USAT, he called it a “game changer.” “It’ll make business more expeditious, and that’s one thing that we’re working on over the course of the next couple of months. Is who our partner is going to be, who we want to collaborate with.” Bo believes that USAT will become an institutional product in the US, not only on the retail side. “We look forward to rolling out this product, and we hope that everyone engages with it.”

Trump's son: Trump himself will not look at the blockchain ledger and is not involved in any stablecoin business

PANews reported on October 2nd that according to CNBC, Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. said in an interview during the Token2049 event in Singapore that investors' concerns about seeking benefits from the Trump administration are "complete nonsense," and said: "My mission and WLFI's mission are grand, but my father Trump's mission is even greater. I don't think anyone really believes that my father would check the ledgers on the blockchain to see who bought what, and that doing so would bring any benefits. He is not focused on stablecoins and is not involved in any stablecoin business."
