Ethereum's Role As A Currency Highlighted By Bankless Co-Founder

According to Odaily, Ryan Sean Adams, co-founder of Bankless, recently expressed his views on Ethereum's significance as a currency. In a post on X, Adams emphasized the importance of Ethereum (ETH) as a foundational currency, stating that without it, the entire concept loses its meaning. He argued that if a Layer 1 blockchain supports decentralized finance (DeFi) but can be shut down through government intervention, it merely functions as financial technology with additional steps. Adams highlighted the need for a genuine internet sovereign currency system, which has been a focal point in the cryptocurrency sector. He pointed out that for such a system to exist, a substantial economic asset is necessary to serve as the base currency, capable of competing with the G7 currencies. Adams believes that Ethereum must reach a market capitalization of ten trillion dollars to fulfill this role effectively, or else the entire endeavor becomes meaningless.
