Occasion of August 9 — and why you can stay calm
On August 9, 2025, media reported, short and sweet: BlackRock does not plan ETFs for XRP or SOL for now. That’s a headline for speculators, for us it’s merely the occasion — not the story. ETF hopes are gatekeeping in a suit: you wait in front of a door until someone waves you in. Infinity‑Economics (IE) is the side entrance that’s already open: voluntary, natively decentralised, and built for immediate utility — not price pumps. So we don’t stare at price fantasies; we look at what you can do with IE today. English‑language coverage: CoinDesk (Aug 10, 2025), The Block (Aug 8, 2025), CryptoBriefing (Aug 9, 2025).
When institutions close doors, technology opens windows — and you choose whether to step through.
Gatekeepers vs. protocol: two worlds, two logics
ETFs are promises of access. Open protocols are access. The gap between them is like the difference between a shop window and a workshop. The ETF hype feeds on price imagination and headlines. IE runs on tools you can use to build today: wallet, aliases, assets, DEX, voting, AT/smart contracts, crowdfunding, subscriptions, escrow, shuffling and SSI. Not as buzzwords, but as parts of a toolkit no one can centrally lock.
Not the price — the utility counts
Whether Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs are topping the charts doesn’t change the daily life of an SME, a municipality or a club. Decentralisation is not granted on the stock exchange; it is proven in practice. IE is pseudonymous (not anonymous), voluntary and free of central kill‑switches. That’s digital sovereignty: you decide which role you play — user, developer, provider — without asking Wall Street for absolution. We build instead of begging.
Freedom isn’t granted — it’s used
“But the price?” asks the speculator. “But the customer value?” asks the SME. ETF narratives promise top‑down liquidity; open protocols deliver bottom‑up agency. Both can coexist — just don’t confuse the shop window with the workshop. IE is a native blockchain built for real‑world use cases in Switzerland and the wider DACH region. When gatekeepers say “not today”, we answer: “today already”.
ETF door closed? — We take the side entrance
The “no” from the ETF world isn’t a defeat; it’s a reminder: decentralisation doesn’t need permission. IE is pseudonymous, open, voluntary — and ready when you are. ETF door closed? We take the side entrance: open protocols.
