Episode notes
ETH At The Start Of Institutional Adoption
- Ethereum has likely reached a new ETH all-time high and is entering broader institutional adoption.
- Anthony Sassano expects ETH to attract tens of trillions of dollars over 10–15 years and become a dominant programmable store of value.
How This Cycle Feels Different
- Anthony recounts ETH's long gap since the last all-time high in November 2021 and compares cycle lengths.
- He frames the current cycle as different, driven by institutional bids and ETH treasury companies buying aggressively.
Use ETH As A Long-Term Store
- If you have a multi-year horizon, use ETH as a long-term store of value and keep buying gradually.
- Anthony Sassano practices buy-and-hold and stacks ETH over years rather than trading for short-term gains.
