In a recent podcast<\/a><\/strong> appearance, the Consensys CEO described ongoing discussions with global banks and sovereign funds from a major economy, aimed at expanding Ethereum\u2019s institutional footprint through both base-layer and custom Layer-2 blockchain infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Rather than just powering crypto payments, Ethereum is being positioned as a core layer for future financial tools\u2014spanning everything from lending protocols to staking frameworks. Its flexibility, combined with native features like smart contracts and restaking, may give it an edge in real-world use cases.<\/p>\n

Consensys recently led a $425 million private investment into SharpLink Gaming, a public company that now plans to manage its treasury entirely in Ether. Unlike Bitcoin treasuries that sit idle, SharpLink will deploy ETH into staking and DeFi strategies\u2014marking a shift in how companies may interact with digital assets.<\/p>\n
