FBS, a leading global broker, has
published a new market analysis highlighting Ethereum’s growing role as the
financial backbone for Wall Street. According to FBS analysts, billionaire
investor Peter Thiel’s backing of ETH-focused treasuries is a strong signal
that institutional capital now views Ethereum not just as a crypto asset, but
as core financial infrastructure.
Ethereum’s transformation
is being accelerated by its staking economy. With more than $170 billion
worth of ETH staked, the asset is evolving into a yield-bearing instrument,
comparable to bonds. Annual yields of 3–4% make it increasingly attractive for
pension funds, corporate treasuries, and institutional investors seeking stable
income streams.
FBS experts also point to Ethereum’s
Layer 2 networks — Arbitrum, Optimism, and Coinbase’s Base, which process 12–14
million transactions daily, far surpassing Ethereum’s mainnet. This scalability
unlocks the potential for tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), where
Ethereum already dominates with projects backed by BlackRock, JPMorgan, and
Citigroup.
“Ethereum is no longer
just part of the crypto cycle — it’s positioning itself as Wall Street’s base
layer,” FBS analysts explain. “With staking, scaling solutions, and
tokenization converging, institutions now have both the infrastructure and the
incentive to build on Ethereum.”
Among the tokens
positioned to benefit from this institutional shift are:
· Arbitrum (ARB) — a leading scaling
solution securing $10B+ in value.
· Chainlink (LINK) — powering RWA
tokenization through data connectivity and smart contracts.
· Lido (LDO) — the largest ETH staking
protocol, tied directly to Ethereum’s growing yield economy.
FBS notes that ETH spot ETFs, launched
in 2024, have already attracted $30 billion in assets under management, marking
another milestone in Ethereum’s institutional adoption. But beyond ETFs, the
tokenization market — already worth $24 billion — is expected to expand
rapidly, cementing Ethereum’s role at the heart of finance.
“Traders should understand
that the shift is structural,” FBS concludes. “Ethereum is transitioning from a
speculative asset into the foundation for the next generation of financial
markets. Missing this move means missing the center of the cycle.”
