Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin says the era of money being controlled primarily by institutions is beginning to change. His argument centers on two major shifts, self custody becoming mainstream and stablecoins evolving into internet native money. That is a much bigger idea than simply putting dollars on a blockchain. Self custody changes who ultimately controls an asset, while stablecoins allow digital dollars to move globally through internet infrastructure without requiring every transaction to pass through traditional banking rails. The adoption trend is already becoming harder to ignore. Stablecoins are increasingly being used for payments, settlement and cross-border transfers, while U.S. regulators are building frameworks specifically around their use as payment instruments. But there is an important distinction: stablecoins may make money more internet-native without necessarily making it decentralized. Most major stablecoins remain privately issued and heavily connected to traditional financial infrastructure. Still, Lubin’s broader point is significant. #BTC Price Analysis# #Ethereum $ETH
