Ethereum Emerges as the Treasury Equivalent in Traditional Finance: Study

According to new research, Ethereum is emerging as the financial backbone of the global economy, similar to the role of treasuries in traditional finance. This is being driven by the surge in demand for stablecoins, which are spreading the US dollar faster than any other financial technology in history, and now exceed $260 billion in market cap. Ethereum is positioned to host the infrastructure for this digital dollar economy due to its global accessibility, security, and resistance to government interference.

It is already the primary settlement layer for over $140 billion in stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets, and $60 billion in DeFi. The growth of the stablecoin market will further benefit Ethereum as it creates a flywheel effect, driving demand for ETH as collateral and attracting more institutional capital.
