Staked Ether offers safer treasury vehicle backing
The bull case for Ether-backed investment vehicles is that Ether's native staking yield provides a non-leveraged, productive base that avoids the coupon-payment risks of Bitcoin-backed vehicles.
The argument
Guest Joe Lubin argued that staking virtually all acquired Ether allows treasury vehicles to generate low-risk yield of approximately 3%. This allows operators to represent permanent capital to grow the ecosystem without relying on dangerous debt structures.
The thesis, stress-tested

- ✓Inflows into staked-Ether investment vehicles outpace leveraged alternatives
