ETHEREUM IS POWERING WALL STREET'S FUTURE

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

EthCC in Cannes highlighted Ethereum's transition into institutional finance rails, with firms like BlackRock, Deutsche Bank, Coinbase, Kraken, and Robinhood announcing tokenization and trading infrastructure built on Ethereum and its Layer 2 solutions. Robinhood became the first public US company to offer tokenized stocks via Arbitrum, while Deutsche Bank unveiled plans for a zkSync-based tokenization platform, and Coinbase and Kraken filed with regulators for onchain equities offerings. ETH gained nearly 6% on the week as companies like BitMine and Bit Digital shifted treasury reserves into ETH, and ether ETFs recorded back-to-back inflows, underpinned by stablecoin settlement dominance on Ethereum. Ethereum's decade-long uptime, security, and neutrality are now its core selling points for institutions seeking programmable, reliable finance infrastructure.
