bsdETH Quarterly Report Q2 2025
This report aims to provide a comprehensive update of all bsdETH related activities over the last quarter, including both on-chain and off-chain data. The purpose of this report is to inform and educate the wider Reserve community on the activities of bsdETH over the last quarter while also being the first in a series of reports which will become a reference library for all governance, social media and on-chain data.
We are up against the limits of the forum software with these quarterly reports and it can be difficult to view and parse the data below. If you’d prefer you can find an identical version of the Q2 report in a Google Document here.

Conclusion
While the market cap of bsdETH has increased by 55% this quarter it can almost entirely attributed to ETH price appreciation. bsdETH continues to struggle to maintain the high levels of growth that were seen in the second half of 2024 with stagnant ETH supply, RSR staked and bsdETH supply across DeFi markets and LP pairs.
Governance activity has however been fertile with 2 proposals passing the IP stage and 2 new RFCs posted. I believe this is a promising sign, only being beaten by eUSD with its bi-weekly rev share updates, however the number of unique commenters and voters could be higher.
Social media metrics have also fluctuated with a promising increase across all metrics in Q1, however these have not been maintained into Q2, dropping to the levels seen in Q4 2024. Personally a strong social media presence, with a strong posting cadence and cross-posing from similarly aligned protocols and independent twitter users, is a great avenue for growth and something we must focus on in Q3 2025 if we want to enjoy growth like we have seen on other ETH based RTokens like ETHplus.
In summary, we have seen bsdETH stagnate this quarter with all growth in the market cap being attributed to ETH price appreciation. bsdETH supply to DeFi markets has been constant but is far from the levels of growth enjoyed by ETHplus. Social media remains a strong avenue for growth and will be a focus over the next quarter.
Once again I’d like to thank the community and the wider Reserve team for their continued support of bsdETH this quarter. Please consider this as an open invitation to anyone thinking about contributing to or have any feedback about the bsdETH strategy to reach out by either under this post or privately.
