Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Consensys, predicted that widespread adoption of Ethereum’s staking and DeFi infrastructure by Wall Street institutions will catalyze a 100x increase in Ether’s price. He argued that decentralized rails offer efficiency gains over siloed TradFi systems.
Lubin stated that financial institutions will need to integrate staking, validator operations, and layer-2 networks to optimize infrastructure costs and yield generation. He aligns with projections that Ether could surpass Bitcoin as the primary monetary base for digital asset treasuries.
Market data indicates that stablecoin supply on Ethereum exceeded $160 billion, more than doubling since January 2024. This surge in stablecoin demand underscores Ethereum’s increasing role as a foundational layer for tokenization and financial products. Lubin’s forecast underscores growing institutional commitment to programmable assets.
