Industry Leaders Convene at Consensus 2026
At the recent Consensus 2026 event, top executives gathered to discuss the future of blockchain and financial technology. Among the key topics was the evolving role of Ethereum in the global economy.
Ethereum's Macro Outlook Is Stronger Than Ever
The CEO of a leading blockchain firm noted that Ethereum is currently experiencing the most favorable macro conditions in its over-ten-year history. He emphasized that the rapid growth of stablecoins and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) are the two main drivers behind Ethereum’s current momentum.
- Stablecoins are reshaping the financial landscape
- RWA tokenization holds massive potential
- Ethereum leads the tokenization movement
The Rise of Tokenization
Experts estimate that up to $14 trillion in assets could be tokenized in the coming years. Over 60% of current tokenization activity is already happening on Ethereum, reinforcing its dominance in this space.
The Growth of Staking Economy
The company holds a large Ethereum stake, with nearly all of it actively staked. It is also collaborating with multiple protocols to launch next-generation liquid staking tokens, improving capital efficiency.
Vision for the Future of MetaMask
The founder of MetaMask’s parent company noted that Ethereum is not just an asset, but a productive tool. With the latest MetaMask version, users will gain banking-like features while retaining full control over their funds.
