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....

Danny Ryan on why Wall Street cares about decentralization Etherealize co-founder and a key architect behind Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake is asked if Wall Street institutions care about “decentralization.” “That’s not the right word,” Danny replies. “They care about counterparty risk.” He explains: “They care about — in a transaction or a particular market — who can screw me over? And if the infrastructure is decentralized, nobody can turn it off, and their transactions will execute as intended . . . [that’s an] elimination of counterparty risk. That’s the operative lens of how they view the world, and if you explain how these systems work to them — and the difference between Ethereum and alternatives — they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we do love decentralization because we have risk models and this helps us on our risk model.’” Danny jokes: “I’ve been looking for a customer of decentralization other than the cypherpunks I hung out with for the past 8 years, and I found it on Wall Street.” As long as you speak the right language and frame it the right way, Ethereum’s decentralization is deeply important to Wall Street institutions.

Danny Ryan: Wall Street has flipped from terrified to use Ethereum to eager in the last 12 months “I’m a TradFi guy now — I talk to banks and financial institutions,” Etherealize co-founder and key architect behind Ethereum’s “Merge” upgrade Danny Ryan jokes. Danny was surprised to learn that banks understood decentralization and used terms like “credible neutrality.” He explains: “Their lens of the world is counterparty risk and the reduction or elimination of it. And a decentralized and resilient platform represents that. So when these institutions are actually thinking about their business case and utilizing this technology — which they went from being terrified to utilize it to eager to utilize it over the last 12 months — they actually care about Ethereum’s values. They care about the things we’ve been ensuring exists for the past decade because they don’t want a counterparty.” Source: Bankless (Jul 2025)

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)

Electric Capital co-founder Avichal Garg: Ethereum is a programmable store of value “I think the right frame is that Bitcoin is an existence proof. Ethereum is perhaps the second example of an internet-native store of value. It just has different properties and is useful in its own way.” “The fact that you can actually build on top of Ethereum — it’s a programmable store of value — is I think what’s really fascinating. In theory Bitcoin is programmable but it wasn’t really designed for that, and in many ways it’s sort of antithetical to the base layer: you don’t actually want it to change. That’s sort of the superpower of Bitcoin: you know what you’re getting. And that stability is really important.” “But with Ethereum you have stablecoins on it, and that’s where all the stablecoin volume is. And ultimately, if you look at where the global financial system will be built, I think it’s going to be built in the non-sovereign space. It will likely be built on top of Ethereum.”

"Similar to Bitcoin, no one controls Ethereum. There is no CEO who can step in and change the rules of the game." Joseph Chalom on the similarities and differences between $ETH and $BTC "I am a big owner of Bitcoin, equal to Ethereum. When I was at BlackRock we launched the fastest growing ETF in history, IBIT, to put Bitcoin in the hands of tens and tens of thousands of new investors." "Bitcoin is incredibly simplistic. It is the hedge against monetary debasement, it is the hedge against the scourge of war and risk that we see in today's economy. An exit asset that no human, no CEO controls." "Ethereum is slightly different in that it's more programmable. Bitcoin has not become a payment instrument, or an instrument where markets and DeFi are built on it. Ethereum you can think of as programmable infrastructure." "A new onchain economy with stablecoins, tokenized assets, DeFi, now agentic rails, most of that we predict is gonna happen in the Ethereum or other blockchain ecosystem. That's not to denigrate Bitcoin in any way. We just think they serve different purposes."

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: Banks are looking at Larry Fink and Ethereum “It’s impossible not to be bullish now. […] The [Ethereum] network has never been stronger, more resilient, or future-proofed to scale with Layer 2s plugged in and ready for the institutional moment right now. Asset price will follow.” “[BlackRock CEO] Larry Fink is a pioneer in the space. He has been a visionary, and his voice is heard and listened to by everyone else on Wall Street. The banks are looking at him. The asset managers are looking at him. He’s one of the leaders that’s digital assets-forward, and when he tokenized BUIDL — their money market fund — on Ethereum before there was regulatory clarity and before we got out of the Gensler SEC, that set the standard for Ethereum to be the default.” “Ever since then, the money in money market funds on Ethereum has multiplied. Stablecoins on Ethereum have multiplied. And now Larry Fink is coming in and saying, ‘We need one common blockchain’ so that we don’t have fragmentation and all tokenized assets can be in one place. That means Ethereum — it’s the best set up for it.” Source: The Rollup (Mar 2026)

"It's very much a one-size-fits-all solution. When you're building a mobile app you build it for Android and iOS, we're building it for EVM and for SVM" Rand, founder of Zama, on why core infrastructure has to be cross-chain from the start "There's a version for EVM that works with any EVM chain, Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Binance, and then there's a Solana version for SVM. The protocol is designed to be cross-chain on day one. There isn't going to be a different version on every chain, there's just going to be one encryption layer" "You've got confidential assets, shielded USDC on Ethereum, and you can move it shielded to Polygon and Solana. It solves the interoperability issues, even of transactions and bridges, just by using the layer" "Whenever you're building core infrastructure today, you have to build it cross-chain by design. Liquidity is fragmented, people have money on Solana, they have money on Ethereum. Just because you're doing it confidentially shouldn't mean you have worse access than someone using blockchain today. The baseline is what people have today, on top of which we add confidentiality. We cannot make things worse than they are, otherwise people are just not going to use it"

$ETH floodgates are about to open. "If you could see what we’re seeing from the inside, you would be wildly bullish." Ex-BlackRock Joe Chalom and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin on why Ethereum’s biggest move is still ahead. For years, $ETH has traded like a Bitcoin beta. But institutions are treating Ethereum like financial infrastructure. Stablecoins were the first real proof point of tokenization, and over 50% is happening on Ethereum. Solana has less than 1/10th of Ethereum’s stablecoin TVL and transaction volume. Tokenized assets? - BlackRock launched on $ETH - Robinhood is launching on $ETH - Governments are choosing $ETH - JPMorgan is tokenizing assets and deposits on $ETH DeFi pioneered on Ethereum. Now AI agents, x402, ERC-8004, and machine-to-machine payments could create a tidal wave of transaction volume. As Chalom puts it: "it’ll be very good at sucking up blockspace." Lubin on $ETH's endgame: Once DeFi feels safe enough, institutions and retail will realize they can "earn significant yield" in an appreciating currency instead of settling for lower yields in a debasing one. The $ETH supercycle is coming.

Why BlackRock CEO Larry Fink calls Ethereum “the toll road to tokenization” “In Davos, my old boss Larry Fink had a great slide when he was talking about the future of finance that said, ‘Ethereum is the toll road to tokenization.’” BlackRock’s former Head of Crypto Joseph Chalom explains: “There’s a recognition from the largest, most sophisticated institutions in the world that Ethereum is going to be the global financial ledger because it has the trust, liquidity and security.” Asked if there’s a role for more centralized L1 blockchains, Joseph replies: “I do think there will be roles for other L1s — I think they’ll be specialized. Solana does an amazing job on meme coins, altcoins, and gaming, and there may be use cases. But if you look where the largest financial institutions in the world are building their money market funds, trading applications — Robinhood, Coinbase — it’s on Ethereum. I’m not here to FUD others. I think the Solana Foundation did a great job over the past several years when there was a bit of a gap in the Ethereum narrative and leadership to steal some of that marketing thunder. But marketing thunder is not real world use cases.”

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.”

Etherealize co-founder Danny Ryan on the bull case for DATs “These companies — there’s a number of them — will have to try to differentiate themselves and compete. Ultimately, some might play the yield game. Some might blow up spectacularly. But a lot of the differentiation might be on-chain: yield, DeFi, and the utilization of Ethereum. I think the best case scenario is there’s healthy competition amongst a few of them to differentiate and use the chain in novel and interesting ways and become on-chain asset managers.” Ex-Co-Executive Director at the Ethereum Foundation Tomasz Stańczak builds on Danny’s point: “Many of them will be absolutely top-quality people with a great understanding of technology and vision for how to — in a smart way — use DeFi to generate returns and structure everything so that it’s perpetual and safe… and in general, I have massive respect for binging Ethereum to Wall Street and those who want to have exposure to Ethereum in a way that is compliant . . . You have ETFs, DATs, spot ETH, which bring together various ways of participating in and securing the network. For Ethereum, it’s great — especially as a public company: they’ll have this obligation to play the consensus game properly and respect the rules. You don’t expect DATs to be attackers of the network.”

Mo: “The best technologies, you don’t see them, but you get the affordances of it.” “Imagine I could trade US stocks without being in the US without giving away my identity... that’d be amazing.” “In seven years it’s very realistic that the vast majority of financial infrastructure is going to be on a blockchain.” “All the biggest players are already doing it. Hopefully, that happens on Ethereum.”

zkSync founder: “Ethereum is the only option” for institutions “Tempo is a venture by Stripe. Obviously Stripe, as a large payments processor, wants to have their own network . . . And of course, all of [these organizations] will try to get everyone else on their network. But guess what? That’s precisely the reason why it’s never going to happen.” Alex Gluchowski explains: “Yes, Stripe wants everything to happen on Tempo, but JP Morgan wants everything to happen on JP Morgan Chain. And Circle wants everything to happen on Arc. And so on and so forth. They will never agree. The large players will never agree to build on the infrastructure of another large player. This is why Ethereum is the only option — it’s the only way forward as the neutral infrastructure that everyone can agree on.” Source: The Rollup ZKsync ALEX | ZK Read our report "Why Permissionless Infrastructure Wins" below 👇

$ETH is the Microsoft of crypto. Raoul Pal's Ethereum framework: If you pulled the plug on $ETH tomorrow, how much economic value gets destroyed? L2s. DeFi. RWAs. NFTs. Stablecoin rails. AI agents. That alone makes ETH undervalued. Bitcoin is global savings. Ethereum is global infrastructure. And infrastructure can scale far beyond what most people are pricing in. Micron and Intel showed what happens when years of boredom meet one explosive cycle. That’s the setup for 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)
