The $16 trillion U.S. housing market is ripe for tokenization. In a DLNews article, Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman makes the case that mortgage and housing markets are next in line to move onchain. The reasons are clear: •Scale: housing is the largest asset class in the U.S. •Inefficiency: settlement delays and layers of intermediaries trap capital and raise costs. •Momentum: regulators and institutions are already experimenting with tokenized treasuries and credit. Housing is the logical next step. Ethereum provides the security, neutrality, and modularity to support markets of this size. Tokenizing housing isn’t about novelty, it’s a part of rewiring the rails of finance to unlock trillions in value. https://lnkd.in/erUaXJZP

Wall Street moves trillions of dollars every day on rails built decades ago. Trades can still take days to settle, with intermediaries adding cost, risk, and friction. The question isn’t whether these systems will modernize, it’s which blockchain will carry their weight when they do. Danny Ryan, Etherealize Cofounder and President, explains why Ethereum is the best and only choice: “Crypto-economic security is a scarce resource. Canton relies on honesty assumptions… that’s smoke-and-mirrors privacy. With cryptography, you solve privacy fundamentally. You solve privacy with math.” For Wall Street, the question isn’t just about privacy, it’s about resilience: They don't need promises, they need guarantees. Ethereum has proven for a decade that no single actor controls its uptime or rules. Ethereum's credible neutrality is its greatest asset. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eK_XQFxG

The rise of Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) marks the next chapter in responsible crypto adoption. DATs are not Ponzi schemes. They’re public companies with underlying assets, NAV, and strategies to maximize shareholder value. They’re institutional by design, offering brokerage account access and capital markets sophistication, with the additional benefits of onchain yield. Why does this matter? Because DATs are the bridge between Wall Street and crypto. They’re making ETH and BTC accessible to a broader investor base while amplifying adoption of the Ethereum ecosystem. As Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman wrote in his guest article for BowTied Bull, Ethereum is poised to be the premier asset for DATs to purchase and hold: – Native yield through staking and DeFi – Deep liquidity and global network effects – An inflation rate below BTC's and monetary policy that's monotonically decreased since ETH's inception, positioning it as a store of value comparable to Bitcoin In addition, Ethereum benefits from its premier branding and position as the world's largest smart contract blockchain, giving it a powerful marketing engine for retail investors and other DAT buyers. The Endgame: consolidation toward a few large DATs that become stewards of crypto capital—just as BlackRock or Vanguard are for traditional assets. The institutions that understand this shift now will be positioned to lead the next era of global finance. 👉 Read the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/evs7PygN

We’re proud to share that Etherealize raised $40M to rewire Wall Street’s financial infrastructure with Ethereum. Institutions are moving onchain at unprecedented speed: •$15B+ has flowed into Ethereum treasury vehicles this year •95% of stablecoin value lives on Ethereum •Tokenized RWAs are the fastest-growing asset class in DeFi Etherealize is building the rails to support this shift: •A trading & settlement engine designed for institutional workflows •Zero-knowledge privacy infrastructure purpose-built for compliant capital markets •An integration suite that connects Wall Street desks directly to Ethereum liquidity Our mission is clear: To embed Ethereum into the core of global finance so markets are faster, safer, and built to last. We’re grateful to our investors, advisors, and partners who share this vision. The Institutional Merge has begun—and this is just the start. Let’s build.

Our CEO Vivek Raman was quoted on TheStreet after his recent interview on Coinage Media, where he outlined why Ethereum is poised to complement Bitcoin as “digital oil to Bitcoin’s digital gold.” Here are the highlights: • Ethereum powers stablecoins, tokenized assets, and Layer-2 networks: Core infrastructure for global finance. • ETH is undervalued relative to its role as a secure, neutral settlement asset. • Projections range from $8,000 to as high as $80,000, when Ethereum becomes embedded in the financial system. At Etherealize, we believe Ethereum is not just another asset: It’s the foundation for rewiring Wall Street’s infrastructure. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eBXBis4z

The GENIUS Act passed the U.S. Senate a few days ago... What does this mean for Ethereum? With a strong bipartisan vote, the first comprehensive federal stablecoin legislation is now on its way to the House—and potentially, into law. This marks a turning point for the intersection of financial regulation, digital dollars, and public blockchains. 📄 What the GENIUS Act does: →Requires stablecoins to be backed 1:1 with cash or U.S. Treasuries. →Enforces monthly reserve attestations and annual audits for large issuers. →Clarifies bankruptcy protections for customer funds. →Carves a path for nonbanks to issue stablecoins under federal oversight. But the real story isn’t just about stablecoins—it’s about infrastructure. This bill is a signal: U.S. regulators are beginning to embrace programmable, transparent, and globally interoperable money. The kind of money that thrives on platforms like Ethereum. 🔎 What this means for Ethereum: Ethereum is no longer a speculative experiment. It’s becoming the base layer for tokenized dollars, enterprise settlement, and regulated financial activity. If stablecoins become the next evolution of payments and treasury operations, Ethereum is the network most institutions will end up using—even if they don’t know it yet. https://lnkd.in/d_VUVXGP

Ethereum is entering a new era of institutional relevance. We’ve had 3 consecutive weeks of ETH ETF inflows, stablecoin regulation, and the launch of SBET, an Ethereum treasury company backed by Joe Lubin and other institutional leaders. These aren’t isolated developments—they reflect a structural shift in how Ethereum is adopted, regulated, and integrated into mainstream finance. At Etherealize, we’re contributing an institutional-grade thesis to frame what’s happening: ETH is digital oil for the digital economy. ETH is not just gas. It’s Ethereum’s trust asset—the core resource of a permissionless financial system. ETH fuels: → Stablecoins → DeFi → Layer 2s → Tokenized real-world assets It’s burned to settle transactions, staked to secure the network, and locked to collateralize value. Oil burns once. ETH burns, earns, and returns. Bitcoin introduced programmable scarcity. Ethereum offers productive scarcity—limited supply paired with real utility. The monetary characteristics are strong: → Inflation rate: ~0.8%  → Staking yield: ~3%  → Hard issuance cap: ~1.51% → Increasing demand from financial applications Institutions are noticing. They want infrastructure that is neutral, permissionless, and compliant. ETH checks every box: no issuer, no counterparty risk, no off switch. We believe ETH will reprice—not just as a tech asset, but as a store of value for the digital economy.
