From hoarding gold to buying luxury homes, crypto wealth is undergoing a massive migration towards physical assets.

Finally, the founder of Aave also bought a $30 million mansion.

On February 3, 2026, Vitalik Buterin made a statement on X.

This statement caused a stir in the Ethereum community no less than his push for a "Rollup-centric" roadmap in 2020. In that post, Vitalik frankly stated: "The original vision of Layer 2 as a solution to Ethereum's scalability through 'branded sharding' is no longer valid." In one sentence, he practically declared the end of the mainstream Ethereum narrative of the past five years. Once highly anticipated...

Five years later, Vitalik overturned his vision for the future of Ethereum.

Ethereum did not lose to external enemies, but to itself. By ignoring real needs and economic incentives, the former giant is paying the price for its arrogance, swallowing the bitter fruit of talent drain and ecosystem fragmentation.
