Svmuu News: In an interview, Vivek Raman, founder of Etherealize, stated that Wall Street’s attitude toward Ethereum is shifting from the early “proof-of-concept and pilot phase” to direct use as production-grade infrastructure.Over the past year and a half, institutions have primarily been “testing the waters on a small scale,” but the current trend has shifted toward “fully embracing public blockchains and treating them as internet infrastructure.” Raman noted that stablecoins were the first major use case for institutions entering crypto, but the current narrative is expanding to broader asset classes such as tokenized stocks, bonds, real estate, and investment funds. Meanwhile, the network effects of Ethereum in terms of stablecoins and liquidity continue to attract traditional financial institutions.He also pointed out that institutional adoption is accelerating but has not yet been fully reflected in ETH prices. This “lag” stems primarily from the lengthy sales and onboarding cycles for institutions: “The infrastructure is ready, but assets have not yet been migrated to the blockchain at scale.” Raman believes that Ethereum is currently at a critical turning point: the underlying financial “pipeline” has been built, but the large-scale migration of assets is still in its early stages. As more real-world assets are brought onto the blockchain, the market will reassess the value of ETH as a secure network and settlement asset.He also addressed the controversy surrounding the Ethereum Foundation, stating that its move to “step back” is the right direction to prevent a single entity from controlling global financial infrastructure. He emphasized that the Foundation should focus on security, censorship resistance, privacy, and long-term technologies such as zero-knowledge proofs and post-quantum cryptography. Ethereum The ultimate measure of success for is not price, but the actual user base and its capacity to support real-world assets. (CoinDesk)
