Recently, I came across a viewpoint discussing why more and more institutions are starting to buy Ethereum.
On the surface, they know that funds are flowing into ETH and that there are publicly listed companies raising funds and conducting private placements around it, but they may not fully understand the logic and essence behind it.
Ethereum, as an open financial infrastructure, stablecoins as a new form of currency, and the ecological transformation brought by real-world assets (RWA) being brought on-chain, constitute its true value.
However, many traditional finance professionals remain stuck in old financial frameworks and thought patterns, making it difficult to bridge the cognitive gap.
This reflects a kind of information cocoon effect—people are bound by their existing experiences and ways of thinking, making it hard to accept entirely new paradigms.
Blockchain is not only a technological innovation but also a profound challenge to traditional financial values and operational methods.
Just as when abacuses coexisted with computers, many who were accustomed to using abacuses were not unintelligent; they just weren't ready to face a complete transformation.
The progress of human civilization has never been linear, but rather a process of constantly breaking cognitive barriers and reshaping value systems.
Perhaps ten years from now, blockchain itself will be replaced by newer technological waves, but it has already profoundly changed the definitions of finance, trust, and value.
The real challenge lies not in the technology itself, but in whether we have the courage to break old cognitions and embrace the future.$ETH
