Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin believes Wall Street will “go deep” into Ethereum and DeFi, predicting major institutional adoption. As CEO of Consensys, Lubin is in talks with sovereign wealth funds and major banks to develop financial infrastructure on Ethereum’s Layer-1 and Layer-2 networks. He envisions a decentralized finance system as a necessary evolution from traditional markets, citing Ethereum’s programmability and maturity. Etherealize founders Vivek Raman and Danny Ryan echo this view, promoting Ethereum as the ideal platform for tokenizing real-world assets. Lubin anticipates an ETH-driven “decentralized supercycle,” suggesting Ethereum will become central to global financial innovation and modernization.
