Harvard completely liquidated its ETH ETF in just one quarter, which actually exposes a core issue:
Institutions still haven't figured out what ETH really is.
The institutional narrative for BTC is already very clear:
digital gold, macro asset, long-term reserve.
But what about ETH?
Is it a tech stock, an internet bond, a yield asset, or the foundation of Web3?
More importantly, the more Layer2 thrives, the more blurred ETH's intrinsic value capture becomes. Plus, since ETH ETFs currently don't have staking yields, many institutions actually only hold an "ETH exposure without cash flow logic."
So I think the biggest constraint on ETH right now isn't technology, but institutional understanding.
Institutions aren't afraid of volatility; what they fear is:
"Not knowing exactly what they are holding."

I think the greatest significance of Firedancer for SOL is not TPS, but that it is the first time institutions have started to regain trust in Solana.
In the past, SOL always had an "institutional confidence discount"—strong performance, but a single client plus a history of outages made many investors hesitant to take large positions. Now, with the advent of the dual-client era, this logic is beginning to loosen.
The market used to think:
"Solana is fast, but unreliable"
In the future, it may gradually change to:
"Solana is fast and stable enough"
If Firedancer runs stably over the next year, SOL's valuation framework could be redefined.

BlackRock is reported to invest $5-10 billion in SpaceX's IPO, with a valuation potentially reaching $1.75 trillion.
Interestingly:
Wall Street is only now seriously pricing SpaceX, but the blockchain market has already speculated on it earlier.
Institutions focus on cash flow, Starlink, and military contracts;
On-chain investors focus on AI, the space economy, Musk, and the "gateway to the future world."
Often, institutional pricing is more stable, but the blockchain market tends to see the future earlier.
This time it seems like:
Traditional finance is beginning to acknowledge the imagination of the crypto market.

"Big brother, please tell me where to buy $BTC on the pullback? Can you give me a specific price point?"

May 16: Next week has many market highlights — the Middle East situation may heat up again, bond market "rate hike expectations" are rising, and the last Federal Reserve meeting minutes of the "Powell era" will also be released.
Key points to watch:
* Thursday at 2:00 AM, the Federal Reserve will release the meeting minutes;
* Nvidia (NVDA) will release earnings after the market closes on Wednesday;
* Walmart (WMT) will release earnings before the market opens on Thursday.
The current market theme still revolves around the AI boom and consumer spending. Next week, the two major indicators of technology and consumer sectors will face a critical test.

KelpDAO said that the problematic 1-of-1 configuration was approved by LayerZero; however, LayerZero responded that the configuration was chosen by the project team themselves, and the responsibility lies with KelpDAO.
But I think the real issue this time is no longer about who is passing the blame, but that the trust in the infrastructure layer is starting to break down. Because many projects have been using similar configurations for a long time, this is no longer simply a case of "developers choosing wrongly." When a dangerous configuration becomes the default option in the ecosystem, the platform itself bears responsibility.
I have always believed that the scariest thing in DeFi is not obvious vulnerabilities, but those things that "everyone assumes are safe." Because once the underlying infrastructure has problems, it affects not just one project, but the trust of the entire ecosystem.
