New platform aims to streamline enterprise onboarding and highlight real-world blockchain adoption
The Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a new platform — “institutions.ethereum.org” — built to help traditional financial firms and enterprises transition into the Ethereum ecosystem. The initiative underscores Ethereum’s growing push to position itself as the backbone of the global digital economy.
In a statement shared on X, the foundation said the new website is designed for “builders, leaders, and institutions advancing this global movement.” Developed by Ethereum’s Enterprise Acceleration Team, the platform provides clear pathways for institutions seeking to explore tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and stablecoin infrastructure.
Showcasing Institutional Momentum
The website highlights data showing Ethereum’s dominance in institutional blockchain adoption, claiming 75% of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, 65% of total DeFi value locked (TVL), and 60% of stablecoin activity.
It also features case studies of major financial institutions already building on Ethereum, including:
- Visa, processing over $1 billion in stablecoin volume annually
- BlackRock, managing $1.15 billion in tokenized assets
- Coinbase, overseeing $15.5 billion TVL through its layer-2 network, Base
These examples are supported by live onchain data and a dedicated “Institutional Library” containing reports, research papers, and news resources.
“Ethereum is effectively evolving into the digital infrastructure for Wall Street and global finance,” said a blockchain strategist at a London-based investment firm. “This site simplifies the onboarding process for institutions hesitant to enter Web3.”
Ethereum’s Institutional Roadmap Expands
The launch follows a series of Ethereum Foundation initiatives aimed at deepening institutional engagement. In recent months, Ethereum introduced:
- Etherealize, a program designed to educate enterprises about blockchain integration.
- A new roadmap emphasizing privacy and scaling upgrades, now rebranded as Privacy Stewards of Ethereum.
- A dedicated AI research division focused on building autonomous onchain agents and a decentralized AI economy.
With its institutional website, Ethereum is clearly signaling to Wall Street that the future of finance will not only run on blockchain — it will run on Ethereum.
