After an energizing week on-site in Cannes, here are the key takeaways from @EthCC 2025 🇫🇷 1/ Stablecoins dominated conversations, everyone agrees they’re central to DeFi’s future. Plus, whispers say @stripe might launch its own chain soon, which could shake things up 2/ AI is absolutely on fire right now, weaving into so many projects and discussions. Yet to still see Blockchain x AI integrations in full swing. 3/ Side events were where the real magic happened. Every chat felt high-signal. There is still a big opportunity for real use-cases with strong fundamentals. 4/ Tokenized stocks by big players like @RobinhoodApp were hot topics. Capital markets are expanding into new asset classes and user bases. Oh also, @RobinhoodApp knows how to party. 5/ DeFi feels truly alive. The next few months look promising. @circle Gateway’s move to unify USDC balances across chains without prefunding or custodial risks is a win for seamless liquidity. 6/ Looking ahead, we’re hopeful for a DeFi Renaissance fueled by these innovations, and a stronger regulatory clarity. Cannes was a reminder: the ecosystem’s momentum is real and just getting started. Grateful to everyone we met; founders, clients, and old friends. The conviction is real, and the energy in Cannes was as intense as the weather!
