Amid this heightened institutional interest, a new narrative regarding Ethereum is now being pushed across the sector by a prominent crypto figure, capturing the attention of market players and investors alike.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Another Key Asset For Institutions Is Ethereum<\/h2>\n<p>Vivek Raman, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Etherealize, has placed Ethereum on the same level as Bitcoin, the largest crypto asset, on the institutional stage. Raman <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/therollupco\/status\/2045835992628637908?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">argues<\/a> that ETH is on track to become a core holding in institutional portfolios, positioning it as a foundational layer for the next generation of financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>According to the CEO, institutional allocations to ETH are inevitable as the asset grows, drawing attention to the University of Harvard\u2019s shift from <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/us-based-bitcoin-etfs-post-roughly-1b-inflows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitcoin Spot ETFs<\/a> to Ethereum Spot ETFs. ETH is being backed by its proof of stake, which is capable of generating massive yields. As Raman believes, these factors, which allow ETH to become the next store of value, are key drivers for price appreciation for the asset.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview, the CEO also talked about the substantial growth of tokenized assets and stablecoins on <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-daily-transactions-spike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">the Ethereum network<\/a>. He argues that most highly valued tokenized assets and stablecoins are going to be launched on the network.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Typically, both these assets are rooted in real-world trust assumptions with off-chain records, and ETH is the leading network to build on because it is not linked to off-chain operations. \u201cYou need a neutral asset where the United States can trade with anyone, and ETH is that asset,\u201d Raman stated. This makes Ethereum more valuable as t<a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-network-adoption-grows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">okenized assets on the blockchain grow<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Raman highlighted that if everything is going to be tokenized, ETH is the primary blockchain for this shift. Ethereum is still early, and as tokenization grows, the network reprices into a multi-trillion dollar asset because it is trustless collateral that no one can censor. In the broader financial sector, this is considered a valuable move.<\/p>\n<h2>ETH\u2019s Long-Term Projections<\/h2>\n<p>Ethereum may be bearish, but its long-term outlook remains significantly bullish. Julien CryptoBoost, an ETH holder since $80, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/realcryptoboost\/status\/2045755197373489157?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">shared<\/a> that key model points to price targets between $12,000 and $38,000 for ETH by 2033. The projection aligns with Bitmine Immersion chairman Tom Lee\u2019s forecast of $60,000 by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, none of these predictions is priced in yet. Currently, <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ethereum-price-says-one-thing-smart-money-disagrees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">ETH\u2019s price<\/a> is trading around $2,300, which represents roughly its fair short-term value, and the near-term growth is already in the price as per the models.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-677082 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Ethereum-chart-from-Julien.jpeg?w=1140 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>While these predictions may seem too ambitious, the expert has drawn investors\u2019 attention to the doubling of <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/french-minister-support-euro-based-stablecoins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">stablecoins<\/a> on ETH to $240 billion, the Glamsterdam upgrade in S1 2026, and rising institutional adoption each quarter as key drivers. \u201cPeople selling ETH today are selling tomorrow\u2019s finance infrastructure at a bargain price,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Julien noted that the Ethereum ecosystem generates $3.82 billion in fees every year, with layer 1 capturing $332 million and layer 2 networks handling the rest since the EIP-4844 launch. Given the accelerated growth, Julien believes that ETH is undervalued compared to what it\u2019s going to become in the future.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/YPpzdydv\/\" alt=\"Ethereum\" width=\"2084\" height=\"1636\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the cryptocurrency sector expands and evolves, Ethereum continues to see a growing wave of institutional interest, underscoring its role beyond just a digital asset.
