Odaily Odaily reports: In response to Bankless founder David Hoffman's liquidation of his ETH holdings, Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted a reply on platform X, stating that “ETH is Money” is the correct narrative, though perhaps misunderstood by most.Hayden Adams indicated that in the future, all assets will be tokenized, people will hold the assets they value most, and the most decentralized monetary system will manifest as “an infinite number of forms of money competing with each other.”He believes that with a low-cost, high-efficiency, 24/7 asset exchange system in place, a single unit of account is not necessary. At the same time, he stated that Uniswap, built on Ethereum, is “the best decentralized monetary system,” and that it is still in its early stages.Recommended reading: Bankless Co-founder's Confession on Liquidating ETH: Ethereum Did the Right Things, but “ETH is Money” Has No Future.

Bankless founder David Hoffman posted on X to explain his reasons for liquidating all his ETH holdings.Hoffman wrote: "I am still extremely bullish on the Ethereum network and the entire ecosystem -- Ethereum's architecture is fundamentally designed to maximize the success probability of its applications, L2s, and ecosystem. The 'fat-app' theory implies that applications on Ethereum can capture the vast majority of fee revenue; while the 'rollup-centric' roadmap means that L2s can achieve profit margins as high as 97%. However, for the asset ETH itself, I find it increasingly difficult to see it being structurally rerated by the market -- either upwards or downwards. So, I am selling ETH not because I am bearish on ETH, but because I believe the narrative 'ETH is Money' has essentially played out. I want to allocate my capital to other opportunities I see in the market."

Wintermute stated that, as of May 25, BTC was trading at approximately $76,600 (down 1.5% weekly), while ETH traded at around $2,140 (down 1.7% weekly). Meanwhile, the U.S. equity market’s S&P 500 Index hit a new all-time high during the same period—highlighting a pronounced divergence between crypto and equities. BTC spot ETFs saw outflows of roughly $1.26 billion for the week, bringing cumulative outflows over two weeks to over $2 billion. Institutional buying—previously instrumental in driving BTC from $70,000 to $80,000—has clearly receded. The ETH/BTC ratio hit a fresh 10-month low, down 35% cumulatively from its August peak. On the macro front, the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index plunged to a historic low of 44.8, while the one-year inflation expectation rose to 4.8%. NVIDIA reported Q1 revenue growth of 85% year-on-year and issued a Q2 revenue guidance of $91 billion—but saw virtually no after-hours reaction, suggesting AI-related trades are already fully priced in. Wintermute noted that BTC’s key support currently lies between $75,000 and $76,000; holding this range could enable a retest of $80,000, whereas a break below would rapidly open the $70,000–$72,000 zone. The near-term direction hinges on whether institutional capital returns to the market.

Some altcoins still saw minor inflows, with XRP attracting $31.8 million, Near $9 million, and Solana $7.7 million.By region, the United States dominated the outflow landscape with $1.425 billion in single-week outflows.

Despite the ongoing legislative progress of the CLARITY Act, market risk aversion continues to deepen.
