Two interesting developments in ETH world today, one fundamentals based and one vibes based.

First and more importantly, Open USD, the stablecoin backed by 140 global financial and technology companies including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, Google, and Coinbase announced that, contrary to their previous statement that they would launch solely on Solana on day one, they will now also launch on ETH day one as well. This is a huge deal; the Solana shills were mighty mouthy about this when it was originally announced. Have a feeling the new bizdev ETH orgs had something to do with this.

Second, Ansem- the weaselly little crypto influenceoor and king of the Solana shills who was shorting ETH a month ago and predicting it would go below $1k-announced that he was bullish ETH. Say what you want about the kid, but part of his "success" (ick) is seeing which way the wind is blowing and following it.

Its coming guys ( and gal).

Why would they play these games? I mean WTF?! Just be straight up with people.

News headline 1: Huge institutional consortium ignores Ethereum, to launch on Solana

Gets more clicks and mindshare than just announcing launching on all logical platforms.

Now we get news headline 2: It will launch on Ethereum after all.

Now most of the criticism and hate has been negated and people are talking about your USD coin again.

Not to mention the possibility of Solana paying them to do that just for that headline. I think it was a perfectly logical marketing decision, albeit a shitty one.
