📊 According to Fortune, Wintermute founder Evgeny Gaevoy stated on the Crypto Playbook podcast that the industry has moved away from its cypherpunk roots toward a "number go up" narrative. He argued that stablecoins reinforce U.S. dollar dominance rather than creating a decentralized parallel system, emphasizing the need for crypto to reconnect with its cypherpunk ethos instead of fully integrating with Wall Street. Despite Ethereum's over $120 billion in TVL, he noted that real decentralized application adoption remains limited. #stablecoin link
