Ethereum Mainnet Takes Center Stage: Vitalik, MetaMask, and $70B DEX Surge

Vitalik Buterin suggests that Ethereum's main network can now scale well on its own, making L2s less necessary. Ethereum Name Service (ENS) has canceled its L2, Namechain, and will move forward with ENSv2 on the mainnet. MetaMask has added tokenized stocks and ETFs through its partnership with Ondo Finance, allowing users to hold both crypto and traditional financial products in one place. Perpetual DEX trading has surged past $70 billion in one day, with Hyperliquid, Aster, edgeX, and Lighter being the top trading platforms.
