This talk from the Permissionless IV conference shows how Ethereum is trying to attract Wall Street with unique approaches. Danny Ryan from Etherealize advises financial institutions to use Ethereum’s features like decentralization, network robustness, and operational parity to improve their financial systems.

Joe Lubin from ConsenSys explains a direct way to show confidence in Ethereum by placing ETH on the Sharplink Gaming balance sheet, similar to what MicroStrategy did with Bitcoin. This is a sign that some institutions are starting to see ETH not just as a token but as a strategic financial asset.

Together, they discuss how Ethereum can be the foundation of the next-generation financial system. They emphasize the importance of institutional collaboration, technological understanding, and long-term trust to bring about real transformation in the global financial sector.
