We’ve been deep in @ethereum…
Which is exactly why we brought powerhouse teams and institutional voices together on the frontlines of global finance at Ethereum Forward last month.
From infrastructure priorities to the big L1 vs L2 debates, every conversation came back to the same theme: trust, efficiency, and compliance are what move institutions to practice.
If you couldn’t make it IRL, catch the full recap and key takeaways here 🔽
Radius: Ethereum’s future depends on real trust.
As @jayden050121 puts it: If Ethereum is going to anchor global finance, trust is a prerequisite for global finance. That means transprency, fairness, and reliability in how the network operates - not just speed or scale.
@radius_xyz is here to build that trust layer: one that’s open and transparent enough for both users and institutions to depend on Ethereum as a credible financial backbone, now and in the future.
Ondo: RWAs on DeFi need a new playbook.
@matt_blumberg from made the case that AMM and CLOB models drain capital and add friction for RWAs. The winners in the RWA space will bridge DeFi and TradFi liquidity for capital efficiency and better UX.
Panel 1: Ethereum’s Next Decade: What Will Still Matter? with @ether_fi, @MetaMask, @AvailProject, @ethereumfndn
Ethereum’s edge is its hard-won trust, the dev community, and security-first mindset.
But to stay the backbone of institutional finance, the next era will be defined by true and seamless interoperability, better dev experience, and scalable infra that never compromises trust.
Panel 2: Regulating the Future: Stablecoins, DeFi, and Tokenization with @BlockdaemonHQ, @katana, @sygnumofficial, @capmoney_, @OndoFinance
Regulations are evolving fast, too.
Compliance and security aren’t optional; they must be baked in from the start. Builders and institutions that design for regulation and real safeguards from day one will form the trusted foundations of onchain finance and DeFi.
Panel 3: The Institutional Friendly Layer: L1 vs L2? with @ethereumfndn, @zksync, @Optimism
Solving for institutions is not about decentralization dogma. It’s about performance, privacy, compliant operations. The winning model combines secure, L1 settlement with customizable, composable L2s that meet real regulatory and operational demands.
