Etherealize co-founder Danny Ryan explains why Wall Street institutions are betting on Ethereum “You don’t lose your job for betting on Ethereum. It’s the thing that has been around for 10 years. If they have internal teams and expertise, they have EVM and Solidity teams. It has 100% uptime....

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: “L2s are the best business model in blockchain” Raoul Pal explains his view of Layer 2s on Ethereum: “We just created excess capacity versus current usage, and it will accrue to the base chain over time.” Etherealize co-founder Danny Ryan adds to this: “I think it’s Ethereum’s favor to have massive optionality in this layer that inherits the security of Ethereum and enhances the network effects of Ethereum. We’re going to continue to work on how these things communicate, how they resolve state differences, and all sorts of stuff like that… But one of the reasons many years ago that Ethereum went all in on that was it was the only way to scale Ethereum without sacrificing the decentralization of the L1.” Raoul emphasizes the importance of this point: “People underestimate scalability because they have no understanding of the scale of the financial system. They have no understanding of the sheer amount of transactions that happen, the speed that it happens, and the value that transacts. People just think, ‘Oh tokenized equities.’ They have no idea of what is required… you have the DTCC, then you have Euroclear — there’s endless numbers of them. People don’t even talk about the derivatives markets. The OTC derivatives markets are another couple of quadrillion dollars. Then you have the FX markets. The FX markets themselves do another $5 trillion a day. These numbers are stupid.” Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman comments: “It’s just naive for people to think that all of global finance can live in one layer. But it can live in one multi-layer ecosystem that has interoperability, ZK, and is future proof, and that’s what Ethereum is. Zooming out, we’re at such an early stage of the adoption curve — the people who say ETH won’t accrue value aren’t seeing how big the market can get. The other thing too that got me to become a bit of a Layer 2 maximalist is that from the bank or asset manager perspective, people want to own their own businesses and maximize profits. My take is that L2s are the best business model in blockchain, and it’s not just me saying that. Robinhood said, ‘We can get the security of Ethereum for virtually nothing, keep all of our operating margins to ourselves, and we’re attached to the liquidity of the largest ecosystem out there with the most stablecoins and tokenized assets. That’s the best pitch out there. Instead of building your own blockchain, just build an L2 and hook it to Ethereum.” Source: Raoul Pal (Apr 2026)

EthLabs Co-founder Ansgar Dietrichs on why Ethereum must be the central node of the on-chain global economy “When we say the global economy is coming on-chain, I believe there are two very different ways that can play out. What I see as the default is you have this world of all these different, independent chains [with different use cases] and then you tie them all together with brittle links. Over time you try to derisk these links, but we’ve seen this multiple times in the past — bridges keep failing. Bridges between independent chains can only ever be so secure/robust because ultimately these chains don’t have a shared state.” Ansgar continues: “The alternative outcome is one where the global economy has one central node — that doesn’t mean that all the activity is on that node or Ethereum L1, but it means that there’s one central node that everything links back into. We are in a fundamentally better state for the world, when all these different parts of the economy can talk to each other trustlessly and without friction. And we really believe that it’s only Ethereum that can play that role. There is no second-best, neutral chain that actually has a shot at this. But that doesn’t mean it’s inevitable. We could just end up in the worse world.” This is why EthLabs is focused on, as Ansgar puts it, “talking to the builders in Ethereum, figuring out what are the friction points — especially as we build toward bringing finance and these economic flows on-chain — and iteratively removing them and strengthening Ethereum.”

Erik Vorhees: “ETH is still the king, and I don’t see it being dethroned" The founder of ShapeShift and Venice AI is asked if Ethereum was a “sustainable ecosystem.” He replies: “I think [Ethereum] is more than sustainable. I think it is the clear winner of the smart contract innovation. It actually wasn’t the first mover in smart contracts, but it was the first one to achieve any sort of scale with smart contracts. What’s most important about Ethereum isn’t so much the first-mover advantage as much as it is the network effect it has had since it was released.” Erik continues: “I think both Bitcoin and Ethereum have achieved a network effect that is close to unassailable. People have gotten distracted with some of these other L1s, but if you look at metrics like where the developers are and where stablecoin volumes are, these are hard to fake metrics that are very important. They’ve always been predominantly on Ethereum. It’s not even close. I’m glad that other people tried to build L1s. The process of innovation and competition is really important. But ETH is still the king, and I don’t see it being dethroned. It has had various scaling challenges — the patchwork of L2s and the UX problems between them sucks. But I have a suspicion that Base is going to end up becoming the predominant L2 on top of the predominant L1 of ETH and that vertical is going to be very powerful and very strong. So yes, I’m always bullish on ETH in the same way I’m always bullish on Bitcoin.” However, Erik warns that if Base loses its permissionlessness it “will flounder and deserves to die”: “Base has designed things very well. It has gotten a lot of adoption and very quickly became the major L2 even though it was not the first mover. I think it’s gaining a network effect pretty quickly. It obviously has a very powerful corporate ally in Coinbase, and to the degree that Coinbase does not abuse that privilege, that’s a very good privilege. Abuse here means: if Coinbase tries to exert control over base such that it loses its permissionlessness, then it will flounder and deserves to die. But Coinbase has been a very good actor in this regard, and they deserve a lot of credit for demonstrating the principles of decentralization and permissionless innovation in several parts of what they do. Obviously the centralized exchange is not that, but it’s not trying to be either.” Source: CoinDesk (Dec 2025)
