We're announcing the relaunch of the Ethereum Institutional Forum: a curated, closed-door event series for senior institutional participants and leading voices from across the Ethereum ecosystem. We started the Forum while at the @ethereumfndn, with editions in Hong Kong and New York. It now returns as a dedicated series under @ethereuminsti. The premise is unchanged: a credible, neutral environment to understand where Ethereum is heading technically, and what that means commercially. The next few years will shape the infrastructure of global finance. Institutions will need to decide where to issue, settle, custody and build. Those decisions are better made in a room with the people building and advancing the ecosystem. EIF III takes place in London on 12 November, bringing together banks, asset managers, market infrastructures, and Ethereum leaders including @drakefjustin. Themes will include Ethereum's technical roadmap, post-quantum security, native issuance, and Ethereum's role as infrastructure for onchain finance. Further Forums will be announced soon. Attendance is by application. If you're a senior institutional participant or ecosystem leader, register your interest below. Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

News: @ARKInvest is tokenizing the $1.3 billion ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) with @Securitize on @ethereum. ARKVX is an actively managed interval fund made up of both private and public companies, with holdings including SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe and Replit. Eligible investors can access the tokenized share class from a $500 minimum. Private company exposure that was closed to most is now accessible onchain, on Ethereum.

Excited to welcome Benjamin Chodroff as Head of Technical Strategy and MENA at Ethereum Institutional, based in Abu Dhabi. Benjamin brings 20+ years at the intersection of finance and emerging technology, most recently leading institutional finance sales for MENA and APAC at @OpenZeppelin, and before that seven years at @HSBC, where he headed the bank's emerging technology lab and launched tokenized deposit, bond and CBDC products. He'll be central to bringing institutional-grade rigour to how institutions build on Ethereum. Welcome to the team, @benchodroff!

AI agents are creating a new financial universe. They will rewire $4 trillion of finance fees by 2035 according to a new estimate from @Sharplink. The biggest winners will be consumers. 🧵

Ethereum Institutional will be at @Sibos Miami. Our co-founder @mariuslsmith will be in Miami meeting with banks, asset managers and market infrastructures to discuss what institutional deployment on Ethereum looks like in practice. If that's you, feel free to reach out.

Ethereum Institutional is heading east. Our co-founder @ismiMatthew will be at @kbwofficial and @token2049 Singapore over the coming weeks, speaking at events and meeting teams building on Ethereum. If you're exploring institutional deployment on Ethereum, get in touch 👋

Deutsche Bank is adding ethereum:native to its new institutional custody service, alongside Bitcoin and selected stablecoins. Launching in Germany later this year, pending regulatory approvals.

Make Ethereum faster. We support @ethlabs_org's push for faster @ethereum blocks. As more institutional activity moves onchain, improvements like Quick Slots make Ethereum an even more compelling foundation for financial markets.

Just announced the relaunch of the Ethereum Institutional Forum, the third edition and my first with @ethereuminsti. I’ll be in London for this one, with two more editions to come in 2026. Apply here: forum.ethereuminstitutional.… Ethereum is the home of onchain finance.

Excited to be bringing back the Ethereum Institutional Forum! We started the Forum while at the Ethereum Foundation because we believed institutional adoption would be accelerated by more direct dialogue between institutions and the people building Ethereum, on Ethereum, and across its wider ecosystem. That remains true today. The EIF is intended to create a trusted, neutral environment for candid conversations about Ethereum’s technical direction and what it means commercially - from issuance and settlement to capital markets and the infrastructure for onchain finance. Our next Forum is in London on 12 November. More Forums will follow soon. Attendance is by application. If you are interested in joining us in London, please register your interest below.

Bigger. Better. Excited for this one in London!

Very excited for the relaunch of Ethereum Institutional Forum. Ethereum’s technical roadmap is impressive. Institutions are increasingly interested in all aspects of it, particularly post quantum. Due diligence and education with institutions is key, in our 1:1 interactions and in gatherings like this. Who better than @drakefjustin to present on Ethereum’s post quantum roadmap. Sign up below!
