In this Bankless podcast episode, Ryan, along with Austin Adams, interviews Vivek and Danny from Etherealize about their new report, "The Bull Case for Ethereum," which focuses on Ether (ETH) as a digital asset. The discussion revolves around the potential of ETH as digital oil, a store of value, and a global reserve asset within the digital economy, drawing parallels to Bitcoin and traditional assets like oil and gold. They address institutional perspectives on ETH, its monetary design (including issuance caps and staking yields), and its role in securing the Ethereum network. The conversation also covers Ethereum's scaling solutions, its brand recognition among institutions, and the regulatory landscape affecting its adoption, ultimately making a case for ETH as a crucial component of any digital asset portfolio.
