Ethereum is being called Wall Street's future, but now faces a new threat from rival blockchains by Circle and Stripe.

Bitwise research head calls Ethereum the core infrastructure for Wall Street’s adoption of AI
Wall Street’s ETH adoption is proven by Bitwise’s $6 billion treasury holding
This institutional adoption focuses on Ethereum’s key role in asset tokenization

Ethereum (ETH) is being championed as the central pillar for Wall Street’s blockchain-powered future, with a growing focus on its critical role in both finance and artificial intelligence. Tom Lee, Head of Research at Bitwise Asset Management, argued during a recent Manhattan event that Ethereum is positioned to become the core infrastructure for all financial activity and digital asset tokenization.

According to Lee, whose remarks were first reported by Bloomberg, the network’s staking mechanisms are key to aligning institutional interests with Ethereum’s long-term development. He presented Ethereum as the essential bridge between Wall Street’s ambitions and the emerging world of AI-driven solutions. His argument carries weight, as Bitwise itself holds over $6 billion in ETH, making it one of the largest corporate treasuries of the asset.
