Ethereum Poised to Become Wall Street’s Go-To Blockchain by 2027, Say Etherealize Co-Founders
Etherealize co-founders Vivek Raman and Danny Ryan believe Ethereum is emerging from a long period of regulatory uncertainty and is now on a clear path to becoming Wall Street’s preferred blockchain platform by 2027.
According to the founders, Ethereum has spent years in what they describe as regulatory “purgatory,” as unclear rules in major financial jurisdictions slowed institutional adoption. However, they argue that recent progress in regulatory clarity—particularly around digital assets, tokenization, and decentralized finance—has begun to unlock new opportunities for large financial institutions.
Raman and Ryan say Ethereum’s mature ecosystem, strong security, and dominance in smart contracts position it ahead of competing blockchains for institutional use. They highlight Ethereum’s role in real-world asset tokenization, stablecoins, and on-chain settlement as key factors attracting interest from banks, asset managers, and other Wall Street players.
The co-founders also point to Ethereum’s ongoing technical upgrades and its transition to a more scalable and energy-efficient network as major advantages for institutions seeking compliant, sustainable blockchain infrastructure.
If regulatory momentum continues, Etherealize believes 2027 could mark a turning point where Ethereum becomes the primary blockchain layer for traditional finance, bridging the gap between Wall Street and decentralized technology.
