While the downward trend in Bitcoin (BTC) and the cryptocurrency market that began in October continues, Ethereum (ETH) is quietly continuing to grow.
Accordingly, institutional adoption of Ethereum is quietly but rapidly increasing.
According to Coindesk, Joseph Chalom, former BlackRock Head of Digital Asset Strategy and SharpLink CEO, said that despite macroeconomic uncertainty, ETH is gaining significant momentum in tokenization.
SharpLink CEO stated that economic concerns are overshadowing ETH’s true momentum, adding that “corporate giants are ignoring the current price stagnation and investing heavily in Ethereum’s potential to serve as global infrastructure for asset tokenization.”
At this point, Chalom stated that institutions prioritize security, liquidity, and reliability, which is why high-value activities such as stablecoins and tokenized assets are concentrated on Ethereum.
“Solana was fast and cheap, but it wasn’t safe.”
According to Chalom, focusing on short-term macroeconomic fluctuations and uncertainties in the market causes many people to overlook the fundamental, long-term capital allocation currently taking place in Ethereum.
While institutions are investing in Ethereum, retail investors continue to grapple with FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt).
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink also believes Ethereum will be a “gateway” for tokenized assets. In a recent statement, he specifically noted that over 65% of stablecoins and tokenized assets are currently on Ethereum, making it the preferred choice.
