Tom Lee: Wall Street Prioritizes 100% Uptime Over Speed for Ethereum (ETH) as Institutions Can Build Their Own Layer 2s

According to @ItsDave_ADA, Tom Lee said Wall Street wants 100% uptime and does not care about base-layer speed for Ethereum (ETH) because institutions can build their own Layer 2s, emphasizing reliability at the settlement layer over throughput, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Sep 1, 2025. The post adds that institutions have a positive voice in how upgrades are executed, underscoring governance alignment as a factor for institutional adoption, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Sep 1, 2025. For traders, this frames ETH’s investment case around uptime and L2 scalability rather than raw L1 speed, aligning portfolio focus with institutional priorities described, source: @ItsDave_ADA on X, Sep 1, 2025.

August 2025 Crypto Rotation: Ethereum ETH Dominates as DeFi, Layer 2, Memecoins, Gaming, AI, Staking Close Red

According to @cas_abbe, Ethereum ETH outperformed all altcoin sectors over the past month while DeFi and Layer 2 leadership failed to sustain into month-end, source: @cas_abbe on X, Aug 30, 2025. As August closes, memecoins, gaming, AI, and staking sectors are finishing in the red, signaling weaker market breadth versus ETH, source: @cas_abbe on X, Aug 30, 2025. For traders, this supports relative-strength positioning favoring ETH over sector baskets and more cautious exposure to high-beta narratives until sector momentum improves, source: @cas_abbe on X, Aug 30, 2025.
