Top Trader Highlights DeFi Exploits and Weakening 'Bull Thesis'

Well-known market analyst Ansem issued a sharp warning for Ethereum investors as, according to him, the fundamental value proposition of Ethereum is weakening and could lead to a collapse below the $1,000 mark by the end of the current year. As Ansem points out, the "$ETH thesis" has been consistently deteriorating over the past few years. Not only has Solana become the main hub of retail activity in this cycle, but Hyperliquid has also taken the lead in decentralized perpetuals trading.

The pair argued that the First Amendment, which protects individuals' freedom of speech and expression, offers strict constitutional protection for developers…
