ROLLUP: Rate Cuts! | ZK Breakthroughs | Farcaster’s Pivot | SEC Onchain | NYT’s Stablecoin FUD

And he also says now that Ethereum has really gotten its shit together from a shipping roadmap perspective, I guess he's talking about sort of the future prospects of the roadmap and also the fact that Ethereum shipped two hard forks this year.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Rate Cuts! | ZK Breakthroughs | Farcaster’s Pivot | SEC Onchain | NYT’s Stablecoin FUD

ROLLUP: Rate Cuts! | ZK Breakthroughs | Farcaster’s Pivot | SEC Onchain | NYT’s Stablecoin FUD

I guess, tweets that I read this week that embodies this sentiment shift.

Okay.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Rate Cuts! | ZK Breakthroughs | Farcaster’s Pivot | SEC Onchain | NYT’s Stablecoin FUD
