Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, during the Devconnect conference expressed concerns about the influence of large investors on this blockchain ecosystem. He noted that institutional influence could lead to a loss of the values on which the project is based, particularly the activities and ideals of the developer community. If Ethereum turns into a tool for large financial institutions, this could alienate those who have been building the network's infrastructure for a long time.
Buterin pointed to two specific dangers. The first is the possibility of losing engineering talent, without which Ethereum could lose technical expertise and ideological foundation. The second threat lies in the alteration of technical parameters, which could be adapted to meet the demands of institutional investors, which, in Buterin's opinion, would complicate the use of the platform in crypto asset strategies.
To prevent these threats, Buterin urged to maintain a focus on the openness, globality, and resilience of the protocol to support the stability and development of Ethereum as a decentralized platform.
