Vitalik: Low-Risk DeFi for Ethereum is Like Search for Google
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that for a long time, the Ethereum community has struggled to balance "economic sustainability" and "idealistic goals." Previously, high-yield opportunities were mostly found in NFTs, meme coins, or high-risk DeFi, while applications that truly align with Ethereum's vision lacked sufficient economic support.
Now, as various protocols mature and security improves, low-risk DeFi is becoming a core growth point for Ethereum, focusing on payments, savings, synthetic assets, and fully collateralized lending, contributing significant transaction fees and inclusive value, providing transparent, stable, and permissionless financial services to global users.
This can be likened to "search for Google": search and advertising underpin Google's business model, while low-risk DeFi is expected to provide long-term, robust economic support for Ethereum. At the same time, it avoids speculation and cultural misalignment, aligning closely with Ethereum's decentralized spirit.
In the future, low-risk DeFi could not only provide fair savings and payment channels for more people but may also evolve into more innovative applications such as reputation-based loans, prediction market hedging tools, CPI-linked stablecoins, and new value carriers. Its stability and scalability make it the most promising "pillar application" in the Ethereum ecosystem.

OKX Web 3 has been testing similar products since 2023 but chose not to launch on the mainnet due to regulatory considerations.

Analyst: Ethereum Staking ETF Approval Expected to Be Advanced to October 2025
The Ethereum (ETH) staking entry queue has dropped to its lowest level in four weeks, raising concerns in the market about a potential large-scale sell-off due to an influx of exits from the queue. The market has found that the continuous accumulation and buying of Ethereum treasury and spot ETH ETFs are absorbing selling pressure, with these institutions mostly having already staked assets for additional yield, which may drive an increase in the staking entry queue in the coming weeks. Another positive expectation is the potential launch of the ETH staking ETF, which means some investors may release liquidity to re-enter related products in the future to adjust market exposure rather than completely exit the ETH market. The final approval deadline set by the SEC is April 2026, but analyst Axel Bitblaze indicated that approval is likely to be advanced to October 2025, adding, "BlackRock's ETH staking approval deadline is in October, and I believe approval is very likely to happen."

Voices
Syndicate co-founder Ian Lee recently stated that prediction markets may be closer to decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) than commonly perceived, as both involve "the combination of social behavior and capital." Lee pointed out that the essence of a DAO is to coordinate both human capital and financial capital, while prediction markets also coordinate funds and collective intelligence, thus can be viewed as a type of DAO. He emphasized that prediction markets should not be seen merely as "gambling tools," but rather as "socialized financial networks." Currently, platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket are active, with the former's monthly trading volume exceeding $1 billion and the latter having 226,000 active traders last month, also with a trading volume of about $1 billion.
