The majority of participants at ETH Denver, one of the largest conferences focused on Ethereum, are of the opinion that a bullish sentiment is prevailing in the cryptocurrency market.
Joe Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and CEO of Consensys, also shares this positive perspective, claiming that the best developments are still ahead.
In a discussion moderated by Axios reporter Crystal Kim on February 29th, Lubin covered a range of subjects, including the ongoing “super cycle,” the prospective advantages of BTC and ETH ETFs for retail investors and the developer-centric community, as well as the increasing demand for decentralization across various sectors.
“We are in this 4th turning, and we are prepared for a new global system,” he stated when questioned about the driving force behind the next super cycle.

“Another way to consider it is as a monetary super cycle, where the monetary systems globally are essentially reaching their end of life, primarily due to interest, and there is excessive debt in the system because certain generations disrupted the monetary system along with other aspects of the financial system.”
Crypto Provides a Transition to Decentralization
Lubin pointed out the difference between the existing centralized, top-down trust framework and the decentralized trust that cryptocurrencies provide.
He noted that crypto emerged during a time of restricted and regulated money, yet it presents a transformative shift towards decentralized trust, a notion that had never been previously encountered.
The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, after a wait of over seven years, has been recognized as a major achievement for crypto supporters and investors.
Nonetheless, there are ongoing concerns regarding institutional investors possibly undermining the original vision of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
When queried about the implications of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the possibility of an ETH ETF, Lubin conveyed optimism, asserting that the “floodgates are open now, and there’s a vast amount of value accumulating in the crypto ecosystem.”
“The positive aspect of this is that it will be challenging for regulators and politicians to interfere with people’s portfolios, and we will witness an increasing influx of funding into our ecosystem.”
Crypto Momentum is “Unstoppable”: Joe Lubin
The United States has traditionally adopted a stringent approach towards the crypto sector, stifling its expansion for years.
However, Lubin posits that the authority to hinder the industry’s advancement may no longer be solely in the hands of lawmakers.
“I believe the momentum is gaining speed, and it’s unstoppable,” he remarked.
“The SEC has undertaken certain actions under the Biden administration that are quite perplexing; there’s an element of gaslighting and irrationality in some of the measures they have implemented, and the judicial branch has been commendable in recognizing the issues clearly and ensuring that the laws of the United States and the Constitution are upheld and safeguarded.”
Recently, US SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce also reiterated her critiques of her agency’s stance on cryptocurrencies during a recent appearance at ETH Denver.
Peirce voiced her dissatisfaction with the SEC’s inclination to “regulate by enforcement” and condemned the sluggish approval process for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
