FBS, a leading global broker, haspublished a new market analysis highlighting Ethereum’s growing role as thefinancial backbone for Wall Street. According to FBS analysts, billionaireinvestor Peter Thiel’s backing of ETH-focused treasuries is a strong signalthat institutional capital now views Ethereum not just as a crypto asset, butas core financial infrastructure.Ethereum’s transformationis being accelerated by its staking economy. With more than $170 billionworth of ETH staked, the asset is evolving into a yield-bearing instrument,comparable to bonds. Annual yields of 3–4% make it increasingly attractive forpension funds, corporate treasuries, and institutional investors seeking stableincome streams.FBS experts also point to Ethereum’sLayer 2 networks — Arbitrum, Optimism, and Coinbase’s Base, which process 12–14million transactions daily, far surpassing Ethereum’s mainnet. This scalabilityunlocks the potential for tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), whereEthereum already dominates with projects backed by BlackRock, JPMorgan, andCitigroup.“Ethereum is no longerjust part of the crypto cycle — it’s positioning itself as Wall Street’s baselayer,” FBS analysts explain. “With staking, scaling solutions, andtokenization converging, institutions now have both the infrastructure and theincentive to build on Ethereum.”Among the tokenspositioned to benefit from this institutional shift are:· Arbitrum (ARB) — a leading scalingsolution securing $10B+ in value.· Chainlink (LINK) — powering RWAtokenization through data connectivity and smart contracts.· Lido (LDO) — the largest ETH stakingprotocol, tied directly to Ethereum’s growing yield economy.FBS notes that ETH spot ETFs, launchedin 2024, have already attracted $30 billion in assets under management, markinganother milestone in Ethereum’s institutional adoption. But beyond ETFs, thetokenization market — already worth $24 billion — is expected to expandrapidly, cementing Ethereum’s role at the heart of finance. “Traders should understandthat the shift is structural,” FBS concludes. “Ethereum is transitioning from aspeculative asset into the foundation for the next generation of financialmarkets. Missing this move means missing the center of the cycle.”Disclaimer: This materialdoes not constitute a call to trade, trading advice, or recommendation and isintended for informational purposes only.About FBSFBS (https://fbs.com) isa global brand that unites several independent brokerage companies under thelicenses of FSC (Belize), CySEC (Cyprus), and ASIC (Australia).
