Ethereum is experiencing significant institutional interest as the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) on its blockchain surpasses $18.9 billion. The platform dominates the RWA market, holding over $12 billion in tokenized assets. Major financial entities like BlackRock, Robinhood, and DTCC are actively exploring blockchain-based tokenization, highlighting the growing institutional momentum. Fundstrat's Tom Lee predicts Ethereum's price could rise to between $7,000 and $9,000 by early 2026, driven by this increasing adoption.
