Ethereum Draws Wall Street Attention As BlackRock And JPMorgan Join London Forum
BlackRock, JPMorgan, Standard Chartered, Vanguard, Citi and blockchain providers are participating in the Ethereum Institutional Forum in London. Sessions cover public blockchains, moving money on-chain, tokenized assets, settlement, custody, and Ethereum’s technical roadmap, including post-quantum security. The gathering highlights institutional interest in using blockchain infrastructure for financial applications, but participation is not an announcement of new investments or partnerships. Tokenization may bring faster settlement and more efficient collateral management, while any effect on ETH demand remains uncertain: firms may use Ethereum or Layer 2 networks without holding much ETH. Sustained deployments and on-chain activity will be more meaningful evidence of adoption than the forum itself.
