TechFlow news, on January 6, Vivek Raman, co-founder of Ethereum ecosystem infrastructure Etherealize, stated that Ethereum has become the preferred platform for global institutional adoption of blockchain, with significant growth expected by 2026. The report indicates that three key metrics of the Ethereum ecosystem are projected to achieve fivefold growth: the scale of tokenized assets will increase from the current $180 billion to approximately $1 trillion; the market capitalization of stablecoins will rise from $3.08 trillion to $15 trillion; and the price of ETH will climb to around $15,000.
Vivek Raman noted that currently, several financial institutions such as JPMorgan Chase, BlackRock, and Fidelity have deployed tokenized assets on Ethereum, accounting for 66% of global tokenized assets. Improvements in the regulatory environment, particularly the passage of the U.S. GENIUS Act, have provided a clear regulatory framework for stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure. Meanwhile, four major companies have purchased approximately 4.5% of the ETH supply, driving ETH to become an institutional-grade store of value asset alongside Bitcoin.
