Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy has highlighted several challenges facing the cryptocurrency industry. According to PANews, Gaevoy expressed that the competition among public blockchains, such as Solana versus Ethereum, holds little significance as no groundbreaking applications have emerged on any chain. He described stablecoins as a niche success that has not fundamentally changed the industry, as they essentially replace one centralized intermediary with another. Concerns about the scalability of blockchain applications persist, particularly regarding perpetual exchanges, which struggle to reach the scale of traditional finance due to limitations in risk engine design rather than throughput. Gaevoy also criticized the industry's shifting values, noting that Bitcoin's original vision has been overshadowed by price narratives, and the cyberpunk ethos of institutional entry has overtaken the cryptopunk spirit. He pointed out that only a few thought leaders, like Vitalik Buterin, continue to focus on fundamental issues. The token economic model is nearing failure, with mechanisms like buybacks, staking, and airdrops facing challenges, necessitating a restart of experiments from the foundational logic. Despite highlighting numerous issues, Gaevoy remains cautiously optimistic about the industry's long-term development. He believes the market has moved beyond the "Trump-driven rally" phase of blind enthusiasm, and speculators will gradually exit, paving the way for genuine builders to foster a healthier environment.
