&nbsp;the Ethereum network performed strongly in 2025, processing a record volume of transactions and dominating the DeFi market (mainnet TVL accounted for 64%). However, the ETH price fell 10% throughout the year to below $3,000, decoupling from network activity. Because Ethereum proactively reduced transaction fees through technical upgrades to promote the growth of L2 networks and the expansion of the entire ecosystem, mainnet revenue declined significantly. In 2025, total L2 revenue fell 53% to $129 million, but fees paid to the mainnet sharply dropped to only $10 million, with L2 operators retaining about $119 million in profit. This means the Ethereum mainnet “sacrificed” over $100 million in potential revenue (a decrease of about $103 million compared to 2024) to subsidize ecosystem growth.

U.S. Congressman Warren Davidson warns that the United States is sliding towards a licensed and tightly monitored financial system. He believes that the recently passed cryptocurrency legislation undermines the industry's original promise of permissionless private money. Warren Davidson posted on the X forum criticizing the stablecoin-focused GENIUS Act, stating that the bill will give rise to a wholesale version of the U.S. dollar central bank digital currency (CBDC), which could be used for "surveillance, coercion, and control." He also expressed concern that a digital identity system might be introduced in the future, forcing Americans to obtain government permission to use their own money.
