Ethereum Foundation Launches ‘Ethereum for Institutions’ to Onboard Banks and Corporations

The new hub gives enterprises a defined on-ramp via curated use cases, live data, implementation paths.

Overview

  • Built by the Foundation’s Enterprise Acceleration team, the site organizes sector overviews, case studies and primary sources to move firms from exploration to on-chain execution.
  • The portal spotlights Layer-2 scaling, noting $50 billion-plus secured on rollups that deliver high-throughput, low-cost execution for payments, tokenization and other enterprise workloads.
  • Featured institutional use cases include stablecoin settlement, tokenized real-world assets, DeFi primitives and privacy stacks designed to meet compliance and confidentiality needs.
  • Coverage cites active trials by major firms such as BlackRock, Visa and Coinbase, alongside ecosystem metrics showing Ethereum as the largest DeFi venue and a leading base for stablecoin liquidity.
  • Concurrent protocol work progresses with the Fusaka upgrade in testnets, targeting a higher block gas limit to boost throughput and reduce Layer-2 costs ahead of planned mainnet deployment before December.
