Emma Landriault (@emmalandriault1), Global Head of Kinexys Labs and JPM Coin at Kinexys by @jpmorgan, will join us at the Ethereum Institutional Forum in London on 12 November. Her session, Moving Money Onchain: Liquidity, Cash and Deposit Tokens, covers how J.P. Morgan is using blockchain infrastructure for money movement and what clients need from onchain cash. JPM Coin, J.P. Morgan’s USD deposit token, went live on Ethereum mainnet last week. Attendance is by invitation and application only:

Institutions are coming to Ethereum. ETH's price just hasn't caught up yet @davidduong, new head of US at Ethereum Institutional: "The price follows the usage with a bit of a lag" "Ethereum is now where everyone's coming to shop"

What institutional use case for Ethereum is the market still underestimating? We asked Franklin Templeton, BlackRock and Ethereum Institutional at Ethereum Korea One. @FranklnTempletn: securities fully tokenized onchain, rebuilding how alternative funds, private credit and private equity are packaged. "A game changer three years out." @ethereuminsti: the idea that all chains are the same. As adoption grows, Ethereum and its L2s will prove the guarantees institutions need. Korean brokerages are already moving toward the first one.

Wall Street is moving billions onchain. So why is $ETH still stuck at $2,500? @DavidDuong, Head of U.S. at @ethereuminsti, says Ethereum adoption is accelerating, with JPMorgan now bringing its deposit token to mainnet. But there's a catch: more Ethereum activity doesn't necessarily mean more value for ETH holders.

Partner announcement: @GolemFoundation joins the Ethereum Institutional Forum in London on 12 November. Since 2019, Golem Foundation has stewarded a 100k+ ETH treasury, with staking rewards funding impactful teams on Ethereum and the GLM community through @OctantApp. Years of running one of the largest ETH treasuries have given them a long term view of where ETH fits in the future financial system, and how institutional treasuries will move onto Ethereum.

Meritz Securities, one of Korea’s largest brokerages, has signed an MOU with @Optimism to explore issuing, settling and distributing tokenized Korean securities on the OP Stack. That makes three Korean securities firms exploring the OP Stack since July: → DB Securities → KB Securities → Meritz Securities Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

Excited to welcome Ben Thalman as Research Lead at @ethereuminsti , based in Toronto. Ben brings 15 years across digital assets and traditional asset management, most recently as Staff Protocol Analyst and Ethereum PM at Figment, and before that a decade at Cidel, a private bank, researching securities, trading and managing portfolios. He’ll lead the research that gives institutions a clear, independent view of what’s being built on Ethereum and why it matters. Welcome to the team, Ben!

"We've also been funding ecosystem spin-offs... we have more conviction today on ETH as a story than we did a year ago." With investments in @ethereuminsti @ethlabs_org and @eth_systems we'll continue to make Ethereum stronger. CEO @joechalom with @gazza_jenks on The Starting Block.

What does it take to bring institutions onto Ethereum? @ismimatthew, co-founder of @ethereuminsti, joins Open Interest to discuss the path ahead. Recorded in Singapore during TOKEN2049. Full conversation coming soon.

THE BLOCK: Ethereum Institutional has appointed David Duong as head of US, based in New York. Duong most recently served as global head of investment research at Coinbase and has previous experience in sell-side macro strategy at HSBC, Santander, and Deutsche Bank.

Anyone can own $ETH. We know how to put it to work. Over the last year, Sharplink has done roughly $500M worth of deals to put ETH to work across the ecosystem. These include staking deployments, a dedicated onchain yield fund, and investments for the teams leading Ethereum’s next decade. Here’s how it fits together 👇

News: JPM Coin (JPMD), @jpmorgan's USD deposit token, is now live on @ethereum. JPMD extends from Base to Ethereum L1, giving institutional clients native onchain cash that sits alongside the assets, collateral and counterparties they transact with already. J.P. Morgan has now added a cash leg to the products it already live on Ethereum mainnet, with tokenized money market funds MONY and JLTXX both already on the network. Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

Base now ranks second among all networks by DeFi TVL, behind only Ethereum mainnet, with $6.22B locked across applications on the network, per @DefiLlama. Four of the ten largest networks by DeFi TVL are Ethereum-based: mainnet, Base, Arbitrum and Robinhood Chain. Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

1 / @ethereum is still called a blockchain. By 2030, that word won't cover it. We turned @VitalikButerin's essay "The cryptographic world computer" into a visual reading: every block checked with one proof, final in seconds, built by many. Explore it below 👇
