Ethereum Foundation Launches 'Ethereum for Institutions' to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption

The new portal positions Ethereum as a neutral settlement layer for global finance with guidance on L2 scaling, tokenized assets and privacy.

Overview

Built by the Foundation’s Enterprise Acceleration team, the site provides live ecosystem data, sector overviews, case studies and primary sources for institutional teams.
Layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum, zkSync, Base and Optimism are highlighted as securing more than $50 billion and delivering high‑throughput, low‑cost execution for enterprise use.
The portal spotlights real‑world assets and stablecoins, featuring firms like Securitize, Maple and Ondo, with coverage noting major players including BlackRock, Visa and Coinbase using Ethereum rails.
Coverage points to an upcoming Fusaka upgrade intended to raise block gas limits—reported as testing on the Hoodi testnet—to boost throughput and lower L2 costs alongside a privacy stack using ZK proofs, homomorphic encryption and TEEs.
Market reporting notes ETH slipped about 3% to roughly $3,971 as on‑chain analytics firm Lookonchain flagged two new wallets receiving 33,948 ETH from FalconX, suggesting large‑buyer accumulation.
