State of the Nation #46: The ETH Trade
Guests: Su Zhu & Kyle Davies

Su Zhu & Kyle Davies are renowned investors in the crypto space, and in this episode of State of the Nation, the Three Arrows Capital co-founders come on Bankless to discuss ETH as an investment, and more broadly, Ethereum as an ecosystem. They describe themselves as 'on-chain' maximalists, and we dive into how Ethereum boasts impressive on-chain metrics and its strong, fundamental narrative.

Big money likes productive assets, and ETH is proving itself to be highly productive as a capital asset. We discuss the flippening of Ether & Bitcoin, and the opportunity for it in this cycle. Su & Kyle make it clear that institutions are coming around on Ethereum, and the scope of the ecosystem is such that any EVM-compatible (composable with the Ethereum Virtual Machine) is in turn bullish for ETH.

Ethereum has painted six weekly green candles in a row and is indisputably red-hot at the time of this recording. Despite the bullish narrative, it remains difficult to properly measure the magnitude of this move. The inevitable unknowns do not frighten Three Arrows Capital, who explore denominating net worth in Ether. All in all, they leave us with some of the most bullish projections we have ever seen on the Bankless podcast.
