Ethereum is gaining steam, but is the real rally just getting started?

Mike Nadeau of the DeFi Report joins us to break down Ethereum’s Q2 fundamentals and the 10 most bullish charts from his latest report. We explore why institutional demand may be driving this rally, how ETF flows and treasury holdings are accelerating, and whether ETH remains undervalued despite recent gains. Plus, we dig into the Genius Bill, stablecoin growth, real-world assets, and key onchain metrics that could fuel the next leg of Ethereum’s bull run.
