🎉 Ethereum Turns 10 — From Cypherpunk Dream to Global Finance Layer 🟣
Ten years ago, Vitalik Buterin launched Ethereum with a simple idea: build a programmable blockchain that could run code, not just currency.
Today, Ethereum is the backbone of a $1T+ decentralized economy.
🚀 From Hackers to Wall Street
Ethereum now powers:
¤ $28T+ in stablecoin volume
¤ Real-time payments & tokenized assets
¤ DeFi, NFTs, and smart contracts
Major platforms: BlackRock, Robinhood, Deutsche Bank, Coinbase, Circle
Institutional giants are no longer ignoring crypto — they’re building on Ethereum.
🏗️ Ethereum Is Becoming Infrastructure
● USDC settles 65% of its volume on Ethereum
● BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund is tokenized on ETH
● zkSync, Optimism, Arbitrum scale the chain for mass adoption
● Ethereum hosts the most liquid, secure Layer 2 ecosystem
Paul Brody of EY says it best:
> “Ethereum is being plumbed into global finance.”
⚠️ But Growth Brings Risk
Vitalik warns:
> “Ethereum might appear open but become captured by central entities.”
The next challenge: scale to billions while keeping decentralization alive.
🌍 Beyond Wall Street
In emerging markets, Ethereum is used for:
>> Saving in stablecoins
>> Sending payments without banks
>> Fighting censorship
This is where Ethereum’s real mission lives — open finance for all.
🔮 What's Next?
With zero-knowledge proofs, proof-of-stake, and stateless clients, Ethereum is just getting started.
👉 Will Ethereum in 2035 still be free and open — or quietly controlled?
