Bernstein allocated the main advantages of Ethereum

Institutionalization, stablecoins and tokenization underlie financial innovations on public blockchains like Ethereum. This opinion was expressed by Bernstein experts, reports The Block.

“Bitcoin is great, we love it and are still confident in achieving $ 200,000. This is our conservative but reasonable goal in this cycle,” analysts noted.

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.”

“Some still share“ useful blockchain ”and“ useless crypt ”, but Ethereum deserves recognition,” they emphasized.

Since the launch in January 2024, the American spot-bitcoin-ETF has become one of the most successful investment products in history. In less than two years, AUM exceeded $ 130 billion.

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. The uniqueness of Ethereum lies in its role as a decentralized computer, experts explained. According to them, stablecoins and tokenization are native uscles for the network of the second in capitalization of cryptocurrency.

“It is not surprising that as the institutional interest in Ethereum grows, we observe the growth of capital influx in Ethereum-ETF. Over the past 20 days, the revenues have amounted to $ 815 million. Since the beginning of the year, the net inflow has become positive and reached $ 658 million, ”the analytical note says.

The crypto industry enters the phase, where the focus shifts from speculative trading to blockchain-innovations, confident in Bernstein. Activity goes “from the trading of meme tokens to open financial infrastructure for capital markets, payments and fintech of a new generation-in conjunction with stablecoins and tokenization.”

Turning moment

Payment giants like VISA, MasterCard and Stripe are already working on strategies in the stabelcoin segment, Bernstein notes. The introduction of blockchain-innovations with “real companies and institutions” increases the value of networks and native assets, such as ETH.

“Investors have always told us:“ Crypt is useless, blockchain is important. ” But these are inextricable things. If you believe in payment innovations based on stabilcoins, why don’t you value Ethereum that releases these “stable coins” and processes transactions? Any company paying such technologies pays Ethereum network commission. This is not just usefulness, but a real accumulation of value. We are sure that the narrative around the value of public blockchains reached a turning point. This begins to manifest itself in an increase in interest in Ethereum through ETF, ”experts shared thoughts.

They also noted the growing implementation of solutions based on a distributed registry technology among leading crypto companies. 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.

“Our goal is to help institutional investors“ connect points ” […]. Coinbase and Robinhood are no longer just platforms for cryptocurrency trading, they are building financial applications on the blockchain. Yes, not all tokens are valuable. But fundamental native assets like Ethereum today are transferred from the category of speculative toys to the tools of real financial innovations, ”Bernstein noted.

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.
