Ronin, that doughty blockchain originally fashioned for gaming-a sort of digital playground for Axie Infinity’s pixelated critters-has announced it will sally forth and rejoin the Ethereum fold as a jaunty layer-2 network. Not content with merely shuffling snazzy NFTs, it now seeks to rub shoulders with the wider blockchain hoi polloi. Hats off, old bean! 🎩
In days of yore (2021, to be precise), Ronin galloped off from the Ethereum mainnet, seeking fresher pastures of brisker speeds and thriftier fees for Axie Infinity and its ever-enthusiastic denizens. Fast forward to now, and the team, in their latest missive, sounds positively Shakespearean about the whole affair:
“Things are different now. Ethereum is back. Transaction costs and speeds are better than ever. We are early to a new era of growth, and Ronin is ready to rise.”
Translation: Ethereum’s got its act together, the party’s better than it ever was, and Ronin fancies a dramatic comeback. Mark your calendars for Q2 of 2026, when Ronin sheds its lonely layer-1 bachelorhood and becomes an Ethereum layer-2 socialite.
“Ethereum is winning the war for Wall Street’s attention and capital,” chirps Ronin, peering over its monocle at the suits. Apparently, institutional investors now see Ethereum as less wild west, more private gentlemen’s club. The migration back is driven by this unbridled affection, not to mention the promise of deep pockets and stern-looking accountants. 💼
Ethereum: From Tech Whizz to Wall Street’s Toast 🍸
If one is to believe Etherealize-a newfangled marketing company intent on wooing the pinstripe crowd-Ethereum has gone fully posh. Launched in January with a hearty handshake from the Ethereum Foundation, Etherealize ensures Wall Street is served Ethereum with a side of bonhomie.
Since then, the financial world has seen a whole litter of Ethereum treasury companies scamper onto the trading stage. Ether (ETH) got so giddy it tickled the $4,790 mark, much to everyone’s astonishment (and probably mild confusion at the offices of Messrs Traditional Finance).
Matt Hougan, investment wizard at Bitwise, told CryptoMoon with a knowing wink that Ether treasury companies have provided a pleasingly coherent story to conventional investors. “Equity wrapper,” he proclaimed, as though revealing a new flavour of crisps. Toss in a dash of yield from staking, and even staid money managers might get stars in their eyes and ETH in their portfolios.
Ethereum’s die-hard fans say the network will soon be the backbone of a spanking new financial system-base layer for DeFi, asset tokenization, stablecoin shenanigans, and, presumably, a series of increasingly confusing acronyms.
With the GENIUS bill raining on the parade of US stablecoins that want to offer yields, analysts say investors will stampede to Ethereum DeFi, eager to stake, lend, and rake in passive income while feeling terribly clever about it. The game is afoot, old chum! 🕵️♂️
