"What does the future of crypto look like? For years, it seemed obvious—Ethereum, Solana, maybe some other layer 1s and layer 2s. But now, stablecoin issuers and fintech companies are launching their own blockchains. Suddenly, the future of crypto doesn’t look as obvious.
And what happens when everything that made people bullish on ETH and SOL gets disrupted by these new chains? Today, we’re diving into the rise of company blockchains to figure out what these giants are building and what it could mean for the future of major chains. Enjoy!"

The video discusses the rise of company-specific blockchains from major players in finance and tech, exploring what this could mean for established cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana. It highlights four major companies and their blockchain projects: Circle with ARC, Tether with Plasma and Stable, Robinhood with Robinhood Chain, and Stripe with Tempo. Each of these projects is designed with specific business needs in mind, such as fast, low-cost payments, control over the network, and compliance.
The video concludes by analysing the potential implications for Ethereum and other major crypto chains. It suggests that these new, purpose-built corporate chains could shift stablecoin activity and everyday transactions away from public blockchains. While Ethereum remains a strong, battle-tested network, its role may evolve to focus on high-value and high-trust use cases, while the new corporate chains handle more routine transactions.
