The integration of stablecoins, RWA, and DeFi drives the revaluation of ETH, with Ethereum being the first choice for institutional asset tokenization.
The three main driving factors of stablecoins, asset tokenization, and Decentralized Finance will drive the revaluation of ETH.
Recently, as some cryptocurrencies related stocks have performed well, many investors have raised some thought-provoking questions, such as "Where will the market increment appear after the stablecoin bill is passed?" "Why do certain tokens skyrocket when they ride the Ethereum hype?" "What is the relationship between RWA opportunities and Ethereum?" "Why are there short-term price fluctuations, but the long-term outlook for ETH remains optimistic?" This article will systematically address these questions from a foundational logic and long-term perspective.
"The rise of ETH is not driven by individual institutions, but is a collective choice of mainstream institutions as they make transformative layouts; the critical point of trend change is about to arrive."
1. Trends from the Data
The development of stablecoins has exceeded market expectations, with a total market value reaching a historic high of $258.3 billion. The U.S. stablecoin bill is currently in the legislative process, and the Hong Kong stablecoin regulations are about to take effect. The U.S. Treasury Secretary predicts that the market value of stablecoins will grow more than tenfold in the coming years. The market size of asset tokenization ( RWA ) has grown by 460% within a year, reaching $24.3 billion.
Institutions like Standard Chartered Bank predict that by 2030-2034, 10%-30% of global assets may be tokenized, reaching a scale of 40-120 trillion USD, which is more than 1000 times the current amount.
Traditional financial giants like BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are actively laying out their RWA business, deploying large amounts of capital onto blockchains like Ethereum through tokenization of funds. This marks the culmination of years of infrastructure development finally moving towards production-scale deployment.
2. Re-examining RWA
RWA is the digitization of real-world assets into on-chain tokens through blockchain technology. It has structural advantages such as programmability, settlement revolution, liquidity revolution, and global accessibility.
Currently, RWA mainly involves private credit, government bonds, stocks, commodities, private equity, and other fields. Among them, private credit has the largest scale, reaching 14.3 billion USD. The tokenization of government bonds is the entry point for traditional institutions, with a scale of 7.4 billion USD. The tokenized stock market is accelerating, with platforms like Kraken and Robinhood already starting to experiment.
3. Stablecoin-RWA-DeFi Integration
Stablecoins are an important foundation for the integration of traditional finance onto the blockchain. The rapid development of RWA is attributed to institutions exploring new compliant integration methods. After a large number of assets are tokenized, DeFi will play a role in achieving efficiency, automation, and compliance, promoting innovation in derivatives and high liquidity returns.
Examples of the integration of RWA and Decentralized Finance include:
Securitize connects the DeFi system through sTokens, such as the integration of BlackRock BUIDL with the Euler protocol and Apollo ACRED with the Morpho protocol.
Ethena's USDtb integration with BUIDL provides a stable minimum return, serving as a foundation for complex Decentralized Finance strategies.
4. ETH is currently the mainstream choice for institutions.
Data shows that ETH is the main public chain for institutional asset tokenization, accounting for over 75%. The main reasons institutions choose ETH:
Etherealize believes that ETH is a new category of asset and is the infrastructure of the digital economy. ETH is a multifunctional asset, including computing fuel, value storage, settlement collateral, and more.
The process of ETH repricing is underway:
In summary, ETH is not the only choice for institutions, but it is currently the optimal solution for large-scale asset tokenization. Combining data, examples, and underlying logic, a trend is forming where ETH is being reassessed.
