David Hoffman, co-founder of Bankless, revealed he sold his Ethereum (ETH) holdings because the 'ETH is Money' thesis has ended. He remains optimistic about Ethereum's network but believes the ETH token failed to capture enough value as the ecosystem prioritized utility, decentralization, and Layer-2 solutions over maximizing ETH's monetary premium. Stablecoins on Ethereum also shifted demand away from ETH itself, making Ethereum more of an infrastructure for other assets rather than a dominant monetary asset. This shift has led Hoffman to a neutral stance on ETH as an investment despite his positive view of the network's growth and adoption.
