Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy believes that the competition among public chains, including SOL and ETH, is meaningless because no significant on-chain events have occurred. Stablecoins remain centralized intermediaries, existing blockchains are difficult to scale, and institutional-led initiatives dominate with idealism. Despite the collapse of token design, Gaevoy remains optimistic about the industry, believing that the market will purge speculators.
