Ethereum Attracts Wall Street with New Institutional Site

The Ethereum Foundation introduces a new platform to facilitate institutional onboarding into the Ethereum ecosystem.

The Ethereum Foundation has debuted a website aimed at easing institutional onboarding by creating clear avenues for companies transitioning from traditional finance to the Ethereum framework.

The launch was revealed in an X post on Wednesday, introducing the site “institutions.ethereum.org.” Developed by the Enterprise Acceleration team, the site aims to showcase the Ethereum network and assist businesses integrating Ethereum.

“Ethereum is the neutral, secure base layer where the world’s financial value is coming onchain. Today, we’re launching a new site for the builders, leaders, and institutions advancing this global movement,” the post stated.

Translation: “Ethereum es la base neutral y segura donde el valor financiero del mundo está llegando a la cadena. Hoy, estamos lanzando un nuevo sitio para los creadores, líderes e instituciones que impulsan este movimiento global.”

The website features a minimalist design, presenting institutional applications like tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs), stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), privacy tools, and layer 2 networks.

It highlights data indicating that Ethereum commands 75% of the RWA market, 65% of all DeFi total value locked (TVL), and 60% of the total stablecoin TVL.

Notable institutions already active on the network are recognized, with examples of their contributions to Ethereum through on-chain data. Visa is noted for its yearly $1 billion stablecoin transaction volume, BlockRock manages $1.15 billion in tokenized assets, and Coinbase has achieved a TVL of $15.5 billion via its layer 2, Base.

The site comprises three distinct sections: “Digital Assets,” which offers an overview of various blockchain sectors; Live Data; and a Library presenting “Institutional Insights” drawn from research reports, news articles, and additional resources.

The introduction of this new site represents a concerted effort by the Ethereum Foundation to enhance the visibility of the blockchain.

Earlier this year, the Ethereum Foundation-supported Etherealize was launched to tackle the clear shortage of institutional education regarding Ethereum.

Other recent enhancements include a new roadmap released in mid-September outlining plans to incorporate end-to-end privacy features within the Ethereum network, part of a rebranding from “Privacy and Scaling Explorations” to “Privacy Stewards of Ethereum.”

That same month, the Ethereum Foundation formed a new AI research team tasked with fostering a robust AI economy of autonomous agents and bots on Ethereum and providing a decentralized AI framework for developers.

“Our mission: make Ethereum the preferred settlement and coordination layer for AIs and the machine economy,” remarked Ethereum Foundation researcher Davide Crapis through X.

Translation: “Nuestra misión: hacer de Ethereum la capa de liquidación y coordinación preferida para AIs y la economía de máquinas.”
