Incredibly grateful for all the support from the ecosystem. Looking forward to continuing to work closely with each team!
1/ We’re excited to announce the close of @ethereuminsti's initial ecosystem funding round and supporter coalition, with broad participation and support from individuals and entities focused on driving institutional adoption of @ethereum.
Our ecosystem funding round is anchored by @BitMNR, @Sharplink, Ethereum co‑founders @ethereumJoseph , and @MihaiAlisie, alongside a larger group of individuals and crypto‑native institutions.

Continuous adoption of Ethereum in Finance
Europe’s largest asset manager has brought a flagship European equity index fund onto @ethereum, extending its tokenization efforts beyond cash management.
@Amundi_FR, which manages €2.4 trillion, has launched a tokenized share class of Amundi Core STOXX Europe 600, issued on Ethereum and developed with @CACEIS.
The fund tracks the STOXX Europe 600, an index of 600 large, mid and small cap companies across Europe, and is used as a core building block for portfolio allocation.
Amundi’s first tokenized share class, a money market fund launched with CACEIS in November 2025, was also issued on Ethereum.
Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.
The largest institutions
Matthew (@ismiMatthew), the co-founder of @ethereuminsti talks about the institutions that are working with Ethereum.
JPMorgan.
BlackRock.
Baillie Gifford.
The largest institutions in the world are issuing on Ethereum. Not pilots, not MOUs. Live, on-chain, verifiable.

When Solana went into L2s, they called them "network extensions" so as to be sure not to give people the impression that ethereum has been on the right track all along. Same with Tempo Zones
For banks, moving onchain has always meant choosing between public and private networks. They'd have to give up control on one or sacrifice liquidity and interoperability on another.
Tempo Zones ends that trade-off. Institutions can issue deposits on a private ledger they control that sits on top of Tempo’s mainnet liquidity.
Within its Zone, a bank operates a performant, enterprise-grade chain running Tempo’s software. Beyond its Zone, the bank maintains low-latency access to the public liquidity and interbank workflows that live on Tempo mainnet.
This is going to be significant
Bullish has named @ethereum as one of the initial network partners for its equity tokenization services.
@Bullish plans to support issuer-sponsored tokenized shares on Ethereum, giving issuers a way to reach investors onchain while the official record of ownership stays with the transfer agent.
What tokenized shares can enable:
→ Round-the-clock markets
→ Near-instant settlement
→ Programmable corporate actions
→ Real-time visibility into share ownership
→ New ways to engage and reward shareholders
In May, Bullish agreed to acquire @Equiniti to create a combined platform spanning the full lifecycle of a tokenized security
Privacy is a better long term guarantee on public infrastructure, where it can be verified. Compliance and KYC controls can sit at the asset level.
That is the direction of travel.
#HSCLifeRules - Matthew Dawson (@ismiMatthew), Co-Founder at @ethereuminsti, HSC Asset Management Singapore, October 8
Most institutions started on private chains because public infrastructure was uncomfortable and uncertain from a regulatory perspective. It was a natural place to start. But how many private institutional chains do you know that are still successful? Most consortium chains, most private chains, failed
If you need privacy, having it on public infrastructure, where the privacy itself can be verified, is probably a better guarantee in the long run. And you can add compliance and control at the asset level, with KYC controls on top of public infrastructure. It takes time, but I think that's the direction of travel

Time to move Financial Services on-chain at scale. APAC is ready.
Ethereum has the ecosystem, track record and security institutions need. We’ll help you succeed.
Building FS on Ethereum? DMs open. At HK FinTech Week all week - Let’s go! 🚀
Excited to welcome Laurens Schepens as Head of APAC at @ethereuminsti, based out of Singapore.
Laurens brings 15+ years in banking and financial services, most recently as Executive Director at @UBS, where he developed and scaled UBS Tokenize, the bank’s in-house tokenization service supporting Ethereum-based assets across structured products, funds, bonds and equity, and led Digital Assets for APAC.
He’ll lead our engagement with APAC financial institutions as they build on Ethereum.
Welcome to the team, @ZurHodl!
Very excited to work with Laurens! @ZurHodl

Nikhil Sharma, Director, Digital Assets at @BlackRock, will join us at the Ethereum Institutional Forum in London on 12 November.
His fireside session, BlackRock on Public Chains, covers the products BlackRock has launched onchain, what it has learned from running them on public networks, and what it still needs from the ecosystem.
Several BlackRock tokenized funds are live on Ethereum today.

Adoption is accelerating, that’s for sure
Institutions are coming to Ethereum. ETH's price just hasn't caught up yet
@davidduong, new head of US at Ethereum Institutional:
"The price follows the usage with a bit of a lag"
"Ethereum is now where everyone's coming to shop"

Formal verification used to be hard, no more, now smartcontracts and codebases can be much safer. Looking forward to utilizing this for @puffer_unifi
New on our Frontier Red Team blog: using Claude to formally verify software at large scale.
Formal verification can prove that code is free of certain bugs, but historically it has only been feasible for small codebases (or required a lot of expert time).
With AI models, however, this is beginning to change. In collaboration with @theoremlabs, we used Claude to prove security properties in over one hundred real-world open-source libraries over the span of a few weeks.

What institutional use case for Ethereum is the market still underestimating?
We asked Franklin Templeton, BlackRock and Ethereum Institutional at Ethereum Korea One.
@FranklnTempletn: securities fully tokenized onchain, rebuilding how alternative funds, private credit and private equity are packaged. "A game changer three years out."
@ethereuminsti: the idea that all chains are the same. As adoption grows, Ethereum and its L2s will prove the guarantees institutions need.
Korean brokerages are already moving toward the first one.
