Bitwise CIO Reveals Ether’s ‘Demand Shock’: The Unstoppable Force Behind ETH’s Sustained Rally
Ethereum isn’t just rallying—it’s rewriting the rules. Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer breaks down the ‘demand shock’ fueling ETH’s relentless surge, and why this isn’t another crypto flash in the pan.
### The Mechanics of a Demand Shock
Forget scarcity narratives. Ethereum’s burn mechanism—combined with institutional inflows—is creating a perfect storm. Every transaction now permanently removes ETH from circulation, tightening supply while usage skyrockets.
### Institutional FOMO Hits Critical Mass
Wall Street’s latecomers are panic-buying staking derivatives while pretending they ‘always believed’ in decentralized infrastructure. The result? A bidding war that makes 2021’s bull run look timid.
### The Cynic’s Corner
Meanwhile, traditional finance dinosaurs still can’t decide if they’re regulating ETH as a security, commodity, or existential threat to their 9-to-5 bonus structures. Their loss—the blockchain waits for no one.
This rally has legs. And they’re sprinting.
