Ethereum’s Quiet Takeover of Wall Street Infrastructure

[tradelikepro]

Ethereum is no longer treated as a speculative crypto asset by major financial institutions. By late 2025, it had evolved into financial plumbing—a neutral settlement layer that automates reconciliation and eliminates middle-office friction.

With over $5 trillion in quarterly transaction volume, Ethereum now operates at a scale comparable to traditional payment processors. Smart contracts allow banks to move from T+2 settlement to near-instant T+0 execution, reducing costs, errors, and operational delays. For Wall Street, Ethereum isn’t a trade—it’s infrastructure.
