Some analysts point out that Ethereum is shaping the future landscape of finance. As the core infrastructure of the DeFi ecosystem, Ethereum is gradually changing the traditional financial landscape with the flexibility of smart contracts and innovative decentralized finance applications. From lending protocols to derivatives trading, from stablecoin issuance to cross-chain bridging, the diverse applications within the Ethereum ecosystem have demonstrated a profound impact on the future financial system. This view reflects the market's recognition of the long-term position of Layer 1 public chains in Web3 financial infrastructure.

Ethereum shaping the future of finance? Come on, I hear that every year. The key is still whether gas fees can come down anytime soon.

Data shows that gas fees have skyrocketed again, but the ecosystem is indeed expanding. Let's wait and see how things develop later.

Ethereum shaping the future of finance? Wake up, we still need to see if gas fees will go down first. --- DeFi ecosystem with diverse applications is good, but how many are actually usable? --- Talking about Ethereum again, but the position of Layer 1 is indeed hard to shake. --- Loans, derivatives, stablecoins... sound impressive, but in reality? It's still the same top protocols playing. --- Cross-chain bridges haven't solved security issues yet, and you're already talking about shaping finance? That's a bit premature. --- Market recognition ≠ really changing anything, don't confuse the two, brother. --- Why does this article not mention Ethereum's limitations? It's completely one-sided praise. --- Web3 financial infrastructure sounds good, but it's still just those few application scenarios?

I've heard the same rhetoric about Ethereum too many times. The key still lies in the actual TVL flow within the ecosystem and on-chain activity data. Don't let public opinion steer the narrative.

ETH's momentum is indeed strong this time, but the real profit-makers are those who got in early. --- DeFi sounds great, but I just want to ask how many people have actually made money... --- Smart contracts are flexible, no doubt, but can the gas fees be a bit more flexible too? --- Starting to talk about future finance again, but let's first solve the current problems. --- Layer 1 dominance is solid, it all depends on when Solana will turn things around. --- Honestly, I've heard this set of words every bear market; ultimately, it still depends on the coin price. --- What about cross-chain bridge security? Don't just talk about the application ecosystem.

Still bragging about Ethereum changing finance? Laughing out loud, just lower the gas fees first.

🟣 That sounds good, but when it comes to real value, it still depends on on-chain data. ETH ecosystem is indeed strong, but how much of the global financial volume does DeFi's TVL account for? Don't get ahead of yourself. Is this bull market coming? Let's wait and see if we experience another wipeout. --- Ethereum is truly the ceiling of infrastructure, there's nothing more to say. The smart contract gameplay has long been validated; now it's just about who can survive longer. --- DeFi changing the financial system? Haha, first get past the regulatory hurdle before talking. --- The long-term recognition of Layer1 public chains... depends on how BTC sees it. --- Every time someone talks about changing finance, but I haven't seen traditional finance truly shaken. I'll believe it when I can pay my rent directly on the chain. --- Smart contracts are indeed flexible, but the risks are also maximized. --- This kind of rhetoric feels like it's repeating every year. Wake up, everyone.

Ethereum's system can indeed be effective, but its real implementation depends on whether genuine applications come to the forefront later on.
