The Ethereum Foundation has launched a new website, ‘institutions.ethereum.org.’ It aims to provide resources and information for traditional finance (TradFi) institutions interested in the Ethereum ecosystem. The site is set to serve as “The Institutional Liquidity Layer”.
According to the Foundation, the website will provide resources and case studies for builders, leaders, and institutions advancing the global on-chain movement. The new site acts as an informational hub for organizations looking to integrate blockchain-based settlement, tokenization, and infrastructure solutions.
Real-World Assets (RWAs) & Stablecoins emphasize the role of Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions as the leading platform for asset tokenization, noting that 75% of all on-chain RWAs are deployed on its ecosystem.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) showcases Ethereum’s role in open financial systems, stating it accounts for over 65% of all blockchain DeFi TVL and has over $2.89 billion in 24-hour DEX volume (12-month average).
Further, Privacy & Compliance address needs for confidentiality and control by detailing options for deploying on the public Mainnet or utilizing enterprise-grade privacy solutions.
Additionally, L2 Ecosystem provides information on Layer 2 networks that scale Ethereum by offering faster and cheaper transaction processing. Lastly, Live Data provides real-time metrics on network activity, economic security, and the size of the stablecoin and DeFi markets on Ethereum.
The site includes major global institutions and their use cases, showing Ethereum adoption. For instance, BlackRock is utilizing the platform for on-chain tokenization via Securitize, while Coinbase has established its Base Layer 2 ecosystem on Ethereum. Visa leverages the network for stablecoin payment settlement, and eToro uses it as a foundation for its stock tokenization platform.
The platform’s credibility is demonstrated through quotes from executives at firms like Standard Chartered and BlackRock, who emphasize that Ethereum’s decade of uninterrupted uptime and its credible neutrality make it the trusted foundation for financial innovation in the TradFi space. The site also includes a direct contact form for institutions to “Get In Touch” for technical support and connections to industry leaders.
