Crypto enthusiasts are buzzing after a provocative tweet from Vance Spencer, co-founder of Framework Ventures (@pythianism). In his post, Spencer predicts that SBET and BMNR—two companies building massive Ethereum treasuries—will collectively buy $20-40 billion worth of ETH in 2025. But here's the kicker: most of that ETH won't just sit idle. It'll be funneled into onchain borrow markets, attracting stablecoins for looping and farming strategies. This, he claims, could be the biggest active capital boost DeFi has ever seen, dubbing it the "future of france" (likely a cheeky autocorrect slip for "finance").

For those new to the lingo, DeFi stands for Decentralized Finance, a blockchain-based system that lets users lend, borrow, and trade without traditional banks. Onchain borrow markets, like those on protocols such as Aave or Compound, allow users to deposit assets like ETH as collateral to borrow other tokens, often stablecoins like USDC or USDT. "Looping" or "farming" refers to leveraged strategies where you borrow, swap, and redeposit to amplify yields—think of it as turbocharging your returns, but with added risk.

SBET and BMNR are emerging as ETH-heavy stocks, similar to how MicroStrategy (MSTR) hoards Bitcoin. According to recent reports, BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) is planning to raise up to $20 billion through stock sales to expand its ETH holdings, already valued at billions. SBET, another player in this space, is known for staking its ETH purchases immediately, locking them into the network for rewards. Together, their aggressive buying could mirror the institutional frenzy we've seen in BTC, but tailored to Ethereum's ecosystem.

Why does this matter for meme token fans? A massive ETH influx into DeFi means more liquidity sloshing around Ethereum's network. Higher chain usage drives up transaction fees, which in turn burns more ETH (thanks to EIP-1559), making it deflationary and potentially pushing prices toward that $10K mark one reply enthusiastically predicted. Meme tokens, often built on Ethereum or its layer-2 solutions like Base or Arbitrum, thrive in bull markets with cheap gas and hype. Imagine more stables flowing in for farming— that could spark DeFi summer 2.0, where meme projects launch wild yield farms or NFT integrations to ride the wave.

Community reactions poured in quickly, with over 1,000 likes and dozens of replies. Marc Zeller from Aave DAO chimed in, suggesting Aave is already seeing similar inflows and positioning itself as the go-to for these big players. Others poked fun at the "France" typo, with quips like "Viva la DeFi" and references to French President Macron's views on crypto. One user even tied it to the "future of finance" with a meme coin plug: "the big fuck is the future of finance" for Fuckcoin ($FUCK), complete with its Solana address and a humorous image.

This kind of playful response underscores how meme culture intersects with serious crypto discussions. As ETH strengthens as a store of value, it could pull in more retail investors chasing the next big meme pump—remember the 2021 frenzy with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu? With deflationary mechanics kicking in, ETH's rally might fuel similar euphoria.

Spencer's vision isn't just hype; it's backed by real moves. BitMine's recent SEC filing for additional ETH buys signals institutional confidence, and if SBET follows suit, we could see unprecedented DeFi TVL (Total Value Locked) growth. For blockchain practitioners, this means keeping an eye on borrow rates, yield opportunities, and how these treasuries deploy capital without dumping on the market.

Of course, risks abound—regulatory hurdles, market volatility, or even a simple correction could derail the party. But if Spencer's crystal ball is accurate, 2025 might redefine DeFi's role in global finance (not France).
