Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision, predicts that banks will increasingly choose Ethereum for its uptime, resilience, and scalability as they transition to blockchain infrastructure. Pal highlights Ethereum's established history, deep liquidity, and robust developer support as key factors that make it the preferred choice for financial institutions. He anticipates that major banks could move clearing, settlement, and custody operations to Ethereum within the next 12 to 18 months, potentially unlocking $4.2 trillion in tokenized asset liquidity by 2027.Etherealize CEO Vivek Raman supports this view, describing Ethereum as an "everything platform" for finance, particularly after its transition to proof-of-stake, which aligns with modern financial needs for sustainability and efficiency. As banks test blockchain solutions like tokenization and stablecoins, Ethereum's smart contract capabilities and compliance readiness position it as a central player in the evolving financial landscape.
