Wood highlighted the significance of decentralized finance (DeFi), which is primarily based on Ethereum and Solana, as the next significant growth area in the cryptocurrency sector, distinguishing it from the speculative nature of meme coins. Additionally, Wood recognized actions taken by Donald Trump, such as unveiling a meme coin just before his inauguration, appointing Paul Atkins as SEC Commissioner, and Senator Cynthia Lummis's intentions to collaborate with Atkins, as indicators of a strong commitment to fostering the cryptocurrency industry.
