BlackRock remains confident in Ethereum’s long-term prospects. In its latest analytical report, the world’s largest asset manager highlighted the potential of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The focus is on Ethereum’s role in tokenization. The authors note that the ecosystem could become a kind of “toll road for tokenization” in the future, citing specific figures.
According to the report, 65% of transactions involving tokenized real-world assets (RWA) already take place on the Ethereum network.
At the same time, growing interest in tokenized assets has also fueled stablecoin transaction volumes — a trend that further benefits Ethereum. According to DefiLlama, around 53% of all stablecoin transactions are processed within the Ethereum ecosystem. TRON ranks second with a market share of about 27%.
BlackRock views this as a signal that tokenized assets have real-world utility beyond speculative trading.
Alongside institutional backing from BlackRock, protocol-level development is also accelerating. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently introduced a concept to integrate Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) directly into the Ethereum protocol.
The goal is to enable staking across multiple validator nodes without relying on complex external solutions. This is expected to enhance security, decentralization, and self-custody of ETH, particularly for large market participants.
Amid institutional adoption and ongoing network upgrades, large investors are also showing bullish sentiment toward Ethereum. Just yesterday, analytics platform Onchain Lens reported that a whale purchased 10,000 ETH.
