Institutionalization, stablecoins and tokenization underlie financial innovations on public blockchains like Ethereum. This opinion was expressed by Bernstein experts, reports The Block.
However, the interest of investors gradually begins to go beyond the exclusively functions of maintaining value. According to experts, many market participants begin to notice “early signs of financial innovations disclosed by blockchain.”

Similar products on the basis of Ethereum, which appeared a little later, remained in the shade – under their control, only $ 9.8 billion. However, given the market capitalization of the broadcast (a little more than $ 300 billion against $ 2.1 trillion at Bitcoin), this gap is explained, analysts noted.

In particular, the pilot for receiving stablecoins to pay from Coinbase, as well as the development of L2 BASE L2. In addition, analysts mentioned the RWA Initiative from Robinhood and Kraken plans to launch US tokenized shares for users outside the country.
In conclusion, analysts emphasized: as the market aware of the ongoing transformation, the effect of positive feedback is increasing – more and more investors begin to pay attention to alternatives to bitcoin. Recall that Ethereum developers have proposed the design of the EU, the protocol design.
