Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: "The window is now opening for ETH to be money" "The path toward ETH being money is being accelerated. The conversation isn't just Bitcoin anymore. It's becoming BTC and ETH. And I think ETH's real catalyst to being understood was GENIUS last year, CLARITY, and regulatory adoption, which means institutional adoption." Vivek shares some data points: - Harvard reduced their BTC position by ~$85M and opened a new $87M position in ETH through BlackRock's iShares Ethereum Trust - Charles Schwab, which manages over $11 trillion in client assets, announced Schwab Crypto which only offers BTC and ETH "The window is now opening for ETH to be money."

Banks went from “we can’t touch crypto” to *“if we don’t adopt it, we’ll get left behind.” We sat down with dannyryan from Etherealize to talk about why institutions suddenly have Ethereum FOMO, why tokenizing assets isn’t enough, and how capital markets get rewired from first principles. Trillions are in play. 🎥 Full interview 👇

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman: Wall Street's understanding of ETH as "productive money" is starting to accelerate "BlackRock just launched their ETHB ETF for staked ETH, and in the marketing around that, they said ETH is an asset that actually generates yield. You're not just holding a digital asset store of value anymore. You're holding a digital asset store of value that has yield, and that starts to resemble how Wall Street thinks about US Treasuries." "[Wall Street] wants minimized counterparty risk, perfect collateral, and yield -- ETH packages that all together. Bitcoin was the original idea and is now understood as 'digital gold.' But the final form is what ETH is fulfilling as productive money." Michael McGuiness adds Stanley Druckenmiller as a datapoint who has called stablecoins (the vast majority of which are on Ethereum) "incredibly useful." "I assume our whole payments systems will be stablecoins in 10 or 15 years," Druckenmiller told Morgan Stanley. Mike continues: "That's the other aspect of what we mean by productive -- it's actually providing utility, and people are benefiting from it. It's not just pure speculation."

I sat down with Blue Macellari, who runs digital assets at T. Rowe Price. Six months ago nobody called asking about tokenization. Now she's doing board teach-ins most weeks... adoption is invisible until it isn't. As ever, please enjoy!

The macro backdrop is shifting. L1 valuations need a rethink. AI agents are eating VC attention. And the Iran War has knock-on effects most people haven't mapped yet. I sat down with Jamie Coutts CMT to work through all of it. As ever, please enjoy!

When leaders like Apollo and BlackRock talk about tokenization, it signals a clear shift: finance is moving onchain. Avalanche has been ahead of that shift, already tokenizing complex structures like CLOs and proving that blockchain infrastructure can serve institutional-grade use cases today. At AVAX One, we see Avalanche as a natural foundation for onchain markets and adoption is only accelerating from here.

the IBM earnings reinforced something I think Wall Street is still underestimating: IBM is becoming an operating system for enterprise AI. The initial earnings reaction focused on the familiar metrics—revenue growth, infrastructure, margins and quarterly expectations. But that misses the bigger transformation underway. The AI market is bifurcating. On one side are companies building frontier models. On the other are companies helping enterprises operationalize AI—integrating it with existing systems and data, governing it, securing it, and turning AI into measurable business outcomes. IBM is increasingly positioning itself for that second market. And that's important because the enterprise AI conversation is moving from models to tools, from experimentation to outcomes, and ultimately toward autonomy and agents. IBM has decades of enterprise infrastructure, software, data and consulting relationships sitting underneath that transition. The mainframe isn't necessarily legacy in this world—it can become part of the context and transaction infrastructure AI acts upon. Wall Street initially looked at the quarter. I think the more important question is what IBM is becoming. My commentary below. #IBM #AI #EnterpriseAI #AgenticAI #HybridCloud

Tom Lee: Wall Street Is Choosing Ethereum as the Underlying Layer In an interview with The Master Investor Podcast with Wilfred Frost on January 20, Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee said that despite long-term pressure on the ETH/BTC ratio, the tokenization trend is prompting Wall Street to deploy stablecoins, money market funds, and credit assets on Ethereum. As institutions such as JPMorgan and BlackRock begin using it in practice, Ethereum is emerging as a key infrastructure for traditional finance’s entry into blockchain. Source:

Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman on how ETH can evolve as money for Wall Street “In the world of tokenized assets, you need an asset that’s money-like and can be used globally that doesn’t have the counterparty risk or an off-chain anchor. That’s what ETH is.” “The more tokenization happens, the more you need a trading pair between those tokenized assets. ETH first found product/market fit in the DeFi ecosystem. Every crypto asset is paired against ETH. Then you saw digital art, which is also paired against ETH. ETH is the most common trading pair and the most common collateral.” “You’ve seen the initial versions of its utility, but that’s just the crypto-native players. Imagine when the Wall Street players start to realize that too… This is how you can start to see the institutional money thesis play out, but it’s early.” ETH is one leg of most high-volume pools on Uniswap V3. On Aave (the largest DeFi lending protocol) ETH alone accounts for ~40% of all loans, according to CoinDesk. As Vivek puts it: “Blockchains are understood. Tokenization and stablecoins are understood. ETH the asset is next.” Watch the full interview with Vivek Raman 👇
