Former Ethereum Core Developer: ETH Has Seriously Underperformed the Market for Years, But Saw Significantly Higher Gains After Reducing Holdings in the Past Two Years

1 hours ago

May 27th, former Ethereum core developer Eric Conner commented on the incident titled "Bankless Founder's Confession: Why I Sold ETH?" He said he doesn't blame the Bankless founder at all, pointing out that Ethereum (ETH) has significantly underperformed the broader cryptocurrency market for years. Conner also revealed that he has cut his ETH holdings drastically over the past 1 to 2 years, and all the funds he reallocated into other assets have delivered far stronger returns than ETH. Conner added that ETH's prolonged weakness likely isn't rooted in fundamental flaws, but rather its early price rally was too sharp, generating massive wealth in an extremely short period. As a result, the market needs a long time to absorb selling pressure from early holders. He further stated that adopting a "maximalist" mindset toward a single cryptocurrency in portfolio management is not rational. "The market doesn't lie—there's no need to trade against the trend, and if a coin regains momentum, you can always buy back in afterward." Eric Conner announced his exit from the Ethereum community on January 22, 2025.

South Korea's KOSPI Index Nearly Doubles Year-to-Date, Structural Shift in Memory Chip Demand Drives Rally

On May 27, the South Korean stock market’s stunning rally has pushed its year-to-date gain for 2026 to nearly 100%, topping even the historical surges seen ahead of the dot-com bubble burst and during South Korea’s late-1980s industrial boom. Led by top memory chip makers including SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index continues to hit all-time highs, surging from 5,000 to 8,300 points in just a matter of months. The index jumped 5.1% intraday on Wednesday. With less than half the year over, its current performance now matches the Nasdaq 100’s 102% surge before the 1999 dot-com crash. Yet nearly all market participants are not sounding bubble alarms for South Korea’s equities right now. They contend that the global memory chip demand structure has shifted, moving from its previous cyclical pattern to a longer, more sustainable growth trajectory.

Former Ethereum Developer: Crypto Industry’s Focus on Vanity Metrics is Misleading VCs into Continued Funding

Former Ethereum developer Max Resnick took to social media on May 27 to slam a large number of on-chain "metrics" in the crypto industry as essentially a scam, designed to push venture capital firms to keep pouring more money into the space. He specifically called out restaking-related data, noting that "the same ETH is counted at least ten times." Resnick also raised questions about how metrics are defined on most on-chain data platforms, stating, "Every time you carefully examine how these websites calculate their metrics, you’ll find they’re either incorrect or meaningless—they can’t truly measure what they claim to represent." Resnick further pointed to the continuing deterioration of data for the cryptocurrency lending sector, warning that if the industry fails to face reality and address problems honestly, "the situation will only get worse." He emphasized, "The first step to solving a problem is acknowledging that it’s a problem." This isn’t Resnick’s only notable career shif
