️ STANI KULECHOV: Ethereum should not focus on gaming staking issuance or cutting staking rewards. The focus should be on scaling the use cases Ethereum was built for: stablecoins, DeFi, and RWAs that bring the financial system onchain.

What happened

Stani Kulechov said Ethereum should not focus on gaming, staking issuance, or cutting staking rewards; instead it should scale the original use cases of stablecoins, decentralized finance and real‑world asset integration.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Prioritising stablecoins, DeFi and real‑world assets could attract more high‑value transactions, increase demand for ETH as gas, and strengthen network security, which may boost investor confidence.

Analyst inference

Ethereum’s roadmap includes several scaling solutions, but the community is debating where to allocate effort. Emphasising core financial applications could steer upcoming upgrades and affect capital flows among blockchain projects.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Announcements of Ethereum scaling upgrades that explicitly target stablecoins, DeFi or real‑world asset protocols, showing whether the network follows Kulechov’s recommendation. Proposed
2. Any policy changes to staking rewards or new gaming‑related staking products, indicating a shift away from the suggested focus on financial use cases. Proposed
3. Growth metrics for stablecoin, DeFi and real‑world asset activity on Ethereum compared with gaming projects, revealing sector traction. Analyst inference
